Chapter 54
Juliana was lying on the hospital bed, watching the news about Yvette’s birthday party.
The photos of Cecilia with Yvette walking on the red carpet holding each other’s arms spread on the Internet, receiving various praises.
Someone even commented online: [With Cecilia around, no one will dare to call themselves the most beautiful woman ever!]
Juliana snorted disdainfully. “She’s just having a charming face. What’s the big deal of it?”
Although she said so, she was extremely jealous of Cecilia because the latter was rich besides having a good-looking face. Juliana could not figure out how a country bumpkin could plant herbs worth hundreds of million dollars.
Fortunately, Cecilia’s life would be ruined after tonight, just like falling into an abyss.
Meanwhile, Cecilia had entered the private room reserved by Yvette.
It was a large private room. A lot of people were present too. They sang, drank, and played cards and games.
Cecilia did not like noisy places. Just when she sat in the corner and took a sip of fruit wine, she was dragged by Yvette to sing.
Yvette said, “Ceci, don’t always isolate yourself. Come and sing love songs with me.”
Cecilia looked at all the rich young men in the private room. and asked with a smile, “Couldn’t find anyone suitable to your taste?”
Yvette shrugged, “Nope. It was all Uncle Calvin and

Christopher’s fault. Not only they’re good-looking, but they’re skillful too. They have raised my standards for a man to a higher level. Ordinary men can’t get my attention.”
Cecilia said, “Not many men are better than those two. That will make it difficult for you to find a boyfriend in the future.” Yvette replied, “I won’t look for one then. It’s good to stay single and beautiful.”
While chatting, Yvette had already picked some songs and sang two love songs in a duet.
“Let me sing the male part. That’s my specialty.” Yvette studied acting, and imitating male voice was a basic subject to be learned, and she also ranked first in her class in it.
Cecilia nodded. “Fine by me.”
As soon as they started singing, the noisy private room quieted down.
Devon also came along and was playing games before the singing, but his gaze never looked away from Cecilia.
Seeing Cecilia singing, he immediately recorded the scene on his phone and posted it on Instagram proudly: [My idol, you will always be the No.1 in my heart.]
The post was very suggesting, resulting in people who saw it thinking he had successfully pursued Cecilia.
Quilton University had a small social circle, so Yvette knew about the post in a short time.
She handed Cecilia the screenshot of the post that her friend sent to her for a look. “Why is Devon so shameless? I must teach him a lesson!”
After saying that, she put down the microphone and got up. Cecilia grabbed Yvette. “I can handle my business myself.”
With that, she walked to Devon with a chilly gaze. “Delete your post on Instagram.”

Devon was too busy thinking of Cecilia and did not realize the approaching danger at all.
He smiled flatteringly. “Ceci, your beauty and outstanding skills should be seen by more people.”
“It’s none of your business. Give me your phone,” ordered Cecilia.
Looking at the hand stretched out before him, Devon reached out to hold it instead.
The next second, Cecilia grabbed his fingers and twisted them backward with force.
The pain shot from the finger straight to the bottom of Devon’s heart. He cried out in pain, with his face turning pale. “It hurts! Let go of me!”
Not only did Cecilia not let him go, but she also increased her strength in snapping the fingers. “Delete the post.”
Devon felt that his hand was about to be broken and
immediately begged for mercy, “I’m sorry! I’ll delete it right. away!”
Seeing that Cecilia did not intend to let go of him, Devon could only take out his phone and delete the post with trembling fingers, enduring the pain at the same time.
Cecilia turned her wrist. With a cracking sound, Devon’s wrist was dislocated, causing his palm to droop limp and weakly. “Remember, don’t mess with me again. Otherwise, I won’t be breaking just your fingers next time.” When Cecilia said this, her cold gaze scanned Devon’s neck, conveying a clear threat. Devon almost fainted from the pain. The chill he felt on the back of his neck sent chills down his spine. He then nodded repeatedly. “Got it.”
Hearing this, Cecilia finally let go of Devon and went to the
restroom.

After she left, everyone dared to take a deep breath, and the tension in the atmosphere was relieved.
As the host of this gathering, Yvette could not ignore Devon’s injury.
She called the attendant. “Send Mr. Langdon to the infirmary. Find a designated driver to send him away after that.”
Although her arrangement sounded fine, everyone knew that she was indirectly trying to kick Devon out.
Devon pushed away the attendant who wanted to help him up and said angrily while holding his dislocated right hand, “I can go by myself!”
When he left, he glanced at the restroom with hatred in his
eyes.
After Cecilia washed her hands and came out, Devon had already left. The private room resumed to become bustle again.
Yvette greeted Cecilia, “Ceci, come here to play Truth and Dare by spinning the bottle.”
Cecilia had a lot of secrets to keep, so whenever the mouth of the bottle pointed at her, she would choose Dare.
However, everyone did not dare to tease Devon after seeing her ruthlessness at Devon.
Every time she was asked to do some dares, they just ordered her to do something simple, like they were just playing around. She would either be asked to pour wine for someone, eat a bite of a fruit, or hum a song.
Even though Yvette complained that those dares were lame, she had a good time.
Cecilia looked at the group of people who were having a great time. Seeing that everyone would become careful whenever she was the focus of the game, she took the initiative to quit the

game.
She did not like to play the game anyway.
She walked to the corner and picked up the unfinished fruit wine, downing it all.
She immediately noticed something was wrong with the fruit wine when the liquid entered her mouth.
There was something added to it.
She pretended to swallow the wine unconsciously and then got up, leaving the private room.
The lights in the corridor were dim, and the carpet under her feet was soft. Cecilia pretended her steps to be unstable, stumbling a bit.
She silently vomited the wine on the carpet by bending over while supporting the wall.
Then, she went up to the rooftop.
It was already ten o’clock at night. The night breeze was as cool as ice, and it felt very comfortable to brush against it.
Cecilia’s arms rested on the railing, and her fingers were slightly opened to feel the breeze blowing through her fingertips.
She carefully recalled what happened in the private room, pondering about the culprit to have the opportunity to put something into her wine.
There were more than 20 people in the private room, and not all of them were playing games at that time. Besides, even those playing games would not be sitting still.
At least half of the people in the room had a chance to harm her.
Besides, attendants were coming in and out of the room during this period.
Cecilia could not figure out how the person could harm her,

even if they successfully put the drug in the wine as there were still so many people in the private room.
While pondering deeply, she suddenly smelled a strong perfume.
The fragrance smelted musky, which probably was a perfume for men.
When Cecilia thought about that, a man in a flower-patterned shirt with a big gold chain around his neck came to her side.
The man leaned against the railing and looked at Cecilia unscrupulously, touching the corner of his own mouth in a per***ted way. “Miss, why are you alone on the rooftop?”
Cecilia ignored the man and planned to leave.
However, the man had already blocked the stairways. “Don’t be in such a rush to leave. The moonlight is quite nice tonight. You can accompany me to see the moon.”
With that, he reached out to grab Cecilia’s shoulder.
Cecilia immediately turned sideways to avoid the touch.
She did not know whether she had encountered a hooligan or was specifically targeted by this man.
Her eyes suddenly became cold, and she asked bluntly, “Who sent you here? How much did they give you? I can double the price.”
The man was annoyed from missing to grab Cecilia again. “Stop talking too much. Get over into my arms right now!”
Cecilia had confirmed that she just met a lustful drunkard. She raised her leg and kicked the man on his knee.
The man’s legs turned weak, causing him to fall down the stairs.
