Christopher leaned back on his chair lazily.
“Dad, you should be asking what William had done to me for him to disappear.”
Not waiting for Fabian’s response, he added, “Or perhaps, you’re not just informed but also involved.”
Fabian was aware of how ruthless Christopher could be. Therefore, he immediately dismissed his implication. “Christopher, although I don’t know what you are talking about, William is your nephew after all. Even if he makes a big mistake, he’s still your family.”
“I don’t care about a nephew who hired assassins to kill me.”
“Impossible. William has always been timid; he could never do such a thing!”
Hearing this, Christopher laughed softly. “I don’t think he has the guts to do it either. Someone must have advised him. Dad, – who do you think that someone is? How should I deal with the mastermind behind this?”
Fabian’s heart ski***d a beat and his voice suddenly rose.
“Christopher, you’ve already sent your two brothers to prison. You can’t ruin your sister as well!”
“It’s either her or William. Choose one. Give me an answer before 8 p.m., or I’ll make the choice myself.”
Christopher hung up the phone.
After giving a few instructions to Solomon, he left Forte Group to prepare for the auction.
On the other side.
Cecilia had already submitted the filled-out information to the auction.

The styling team that Christopher had arranged for her had also arrived.
Cecilia had seen this team previously when they were styling Juliana for her 20th birthday celebration.
According to Juliana, it was the best styling team in Quilton, and their styling fees cost at least 200 thousand dollars.
The reason for their high price was not just the styling but also the gowns.
Those custom-made gowns were made with top-notch
materials and designed exclusively for styling purposes. Even with money, one couldn’t buy them.
Back then, Juliana had flaunted her style worth more than 400 thousand dollars in front of her for quite some time.
Cecilia hadn’t expected Christopher to arrange such an expensive styling team for her.
She had no intention of competing with Juliana. If it weren’t for the lack of time, she would have refused.
“Um, just give me the cheapest set.”
Cecilia couldn’t help but feel that the effort she had put into writing songs that afternoon had gone to waste. Her heart ached at the thought.
However, the team leader smiled and said, “Ms. Yancey, Mr. Forte said he wanted you to steal the show. He has already paid for it.”
Cecilia was not moved to hear that.
She didn’t want to owe any favors to Christopher, nor did she want to take advantage of him.
“Um, how much did he pay?”
“We’ve seen Ms. Yancey’s photos and selected a style worth 720 thousand dollars based on your looks and aura.”
Cecilia gasped and declined, “Please return the outfit Mr. Forte

ordered, and give me the cheapest one. I’ll pay for it myself.” The team leader explained in embarrassment, “I’m sorry, Ms. Yancey, but Mr. Forte has already paid for it and we’ve only brought the selected outfit. Since the money has been credited, it can’t be refunded. However, it’s possible if you want to change the style, and any remaining funds will be converted into credits for future use.”
Cecilia frowned. If she wanted to change the style, then the gown would need to be delivered, which would take too long.
She reluctantly agreed and said, “Fine, let’s go with the one you brought. Can you finish it in an hour?”
“Yes, our team is very professional.”
It only took 45 minutes for them to finish Cecilia’s styling.
When Cecilia saw herself in the mirror, she could hardly believe her eyes.
She had initially thought that more than 600 thousand dollars was incredibly expensive, but now she felt it was worth every
penny.
The champagne-colored gown featured delicate spaghetti straps, a soft silk fabric that accentuated her figure, and a high-slit design that showcased her physique without being overly revealing.
The gown boasted intricate silver thread embroidery of flowers, with colorful rhinestones at the heart of each flower, producing a radiant effect with every step she took.
Her hair had been styled into large waves, with half of it cascading down in front of her, covering her curves and adding to her allure.
“Ms. Yancey, are you satisfied? If there’s anything you feel could be improved, please let us know, and we can make adjustments,” the team leader asked.
“It’s good. There’s no need to change anything.”

After saying that, Cecilia fiddled with the extravagant diamond earrings.
“Do I have to return this pair of earrings to you later?”
Setting aside the question of which master designer had crafted these earrings, the value of the diamonds alone exceeded 400 thousand dollars.
“No need, this was a gift from Mr. Forte to Ms. Yancey. Do you have any other questions?”
“No.”
“All right then, goodbye.”
The styling team quickly left.
Cecilia glanced at the time and found it was already 7 p.m.
She needed to arrive early and personally discuss the details of the herb plantation with the auction staff.
Therefore, it was time to set off.
Cecilia had planned to take a taxi to the auction, but as soon as she exited her residential area, she spotted Christopher.
He was dressed in a dark gray bespoke suit, and the evening sun’s fading light cast slan**ng rays on him, creating a play of light and shadow that accentuated his sharp features.
Leaning against his luxury car, his long legs seemed unusually proportioned.
The residential area was close to Quilton University, so there were often students passing by.
When they saw such an exceptionally handsome man, many female students couldn’t help but stop in their tracks, sneaking glances at him from the sidelines,
Some bolder ones even tried to discreetly take pictures with their phones, but a single glance from Christopher made them think twice.

When he saw Cecilia exiting the residential area, he
immediately softened the cold expression on his face and strode towards her, his eyes unable to conceal their admiration.
“My apologies for not thinking things through. I should have gone upstairs to pick you up.”
After speaking, he took the hem of Cecilia’s gown that she was holding and shielded her from prying eyes as they got into the car together.
As they left, the students nearby erupted in chaos.
“Wasn’t that the se*y woman who just came out of the residential area Cecilia?”
“No way, Cecilia is just a student. How can she look so se*y?”
“It is her! Cecilia used to come in and out of this residential area when she was pretending to be plain.”
“Her figure and appearance are just amazing and even exude an air of elegance. The campus belle is nothing compared to her.” “I managed to snap a picture of her secretly. I’ll share it on the campus forum for everyone to enjoy.”
The conversation went on.
Soon enough, the photo of Cecilia in her gown and with Christopher helping her with the hem started circulating on the campus forum.
Even Juliana, who was still in the hospital, saw the photo.
She couldn’t help but feel jealous seeing Christopher and Cecilia looking like a perfect couple, to the point where she nearly smashed her phone.
“What’s so good about this sl*t that made Mr. Christopher Forte destroy himself and push the Yancey family to the brink!”
When Juliana recalled how William had deceived and tricked her into pursuing Cecilia when it was done against

Christopher, shivers went down her spine.
“No, I can’t just be like a sitting duck. I need to win this outstanding man over as soon as possible!”
Gritting her teeth, Juliana immediately called William. However, she didn’t know William had been captured by Christopher. When she saw that no one answered the phone, she called again and again.
“William, you idiot! Answer the da*n phone!”
Fuming and grumbling weren’t g**ng to solve the problem, so Juliana reluctantly gave up.
Thinking that the Yancey family were frantically searching for Cecilia, they would eventually discover that Christopher was not an old man either.
She immediately downloaded the photos from the campus forum and sent them to Jonathan.
“Jon, the woman in the photo looks like Ceci. She may be going to a dinner party or something. Can you find out more? You should be able to locate her.”
She was sure that Cecilia wouldn’t speak in favor of the Yancey family in front of Christopher and allow Yancey Corporation. to regain their lost cooperation.
