The True Lady Strikes Back by Susanna Lucius - Season 1 Episode 77

After the plan to hurt Cecilia had failed, Jackson was worried that the plan to drug Cecilia would not work.
Therefore, he discussed it with Juliana and thought of a bad scheme.
They would make Cecilia beat him!
If Cecilia hurt Jackson badly, he could sue her for intentionally hurting people, making her face a lawsuit, and having no chance to participate in the race.
Even if Cecilia did not hurt Jackson badly, he would take the opportunity to get injured and not be able to participate in the
race.
That way, Cecilia was the culprit. She naturally had no face to mention the bet-on agreement.
Jackson could not only protect his dignity but also defame Cecilia.
Thinking of it, Jackson shouted at Cecilia, “I have nothing to do with Quinton. You can’t slander me without evidence, or I will sue you for defamation!”
Cecilia looked at Jackson as if he was a fool.
“You said I slandered you. Where is the evidence?”
Cecilia knew that the rumors on the internet were adding fuel to the fire, but she was not the instigator so she would not admit she had interfered.
Jackson did not have any evidence. He just wanted to find an excuse to fight with Cecilia.
He burped and looked drunk. “It’s the police’s responsibility to find the evidence. You go to the police station with me.”
Then, he went to grab Cecilia’s arm.
The True Lady Strikes Back
As long as Cecilia resisted, he would create physical conflicts! Imagination was nice, but in fact, Jackson did not even touch Cecilia.
He tried a few times but caught nothing.
Cecilia did not know what Jackson was up to just now, but then she understood.
She inadvertently changed her position and led Jackson to the guardhouse.
Jackson’s attention was all on creating physical conflicts, and he did not realize that he was controlled by Cecilia.
When he came back to his senses, Cecilia grabbed his right hand and wrapped it behind his back.
Jackson was pressed hard against the glass window of the guardhouse.
His face was squeezed out of shape, and the extraordinarily funny look made the two guards on duty laugh.
Jackson wanted to resist, but he drank too much and lost his energy. He was pressed and could not move.
It was already dark, and it was time when the retired teachers to take a walk in the residential area.
A lot of people were gathered at the entrance to watch the show. They pointed at Jackson and talked badly about him.
Because in the eyes of the outsiders, he was drunk and deliberately troubled Cecilia.
Jackson did not expect that things would go completely out of his control. He was flustered.
His face turned red and he roared, “Cecilia, let go of me!”
Of course, Cecilia would not listen to him.
She shouted loudly, “Jackson, don’t worry. This will not hurt you and make you unable to participate in the race.”
The True Lady Strikes Back.
Upon hearing her words, Jackson’s heart sk**ped a beat and hist expression changed slightly.
Cecilia saw his expression, and the mockery in her eyes seemed to overflow in the next second.
“Jackson, you really have no limit in order to hurt me. Coward!”
Jackson was embarrassed by her words more than being slapped.
“Don’t talk nonsense. Let go of me!”
“Okay, I’ll let you go, but please stop trying to touch me, okay? It’s dirty.”
After saying that loudly, Cecilia released Jackson.
The plan failed, and Jackson wanted to leave.
Cecilia stopped him and lifted her injured ankle.
“You threw a bottle at me and hurt me. Do you want to leave without apologizing or compensating for it?”
Jackson clenched his teeth and said reluctantly, “I am sorry! How much compensation do you want?”
“You should know how precious the foot is for a racer. People who don’t know will think you did it on purpose.”
Jackson directly transferred 200 thousand dollars to Cecilia. “Is that enough?”
He sent 200 thousand dollars for a small injury. There was nothing more expensive than Cecilia’s foot!
Cecilia stopped pushing and smiled brightly. “That’s enough.”
Jackson snorted and strode away, but Cecilia’s voice came from behind.
“Mr. Yancey, don’t throw anything at me in the future. Otherwise, everyone will think that you want to hurt me and make me unable to participate in tomorrow’s grand final.”

The True Lady Strikes Back
Hearing that, Jackson almost choked on his breath.
He regretted it.
Jackson thought that he should not throw the bottle at the side of Cecilia’s foot, but directly on her foot.
He would make her cri**led and never participate in the race again in her life!
Looking at Jackson’s angry back, Cecilia felt extremely happy. She thought, “This idiot is not qualified to play tricks with me.” Back in the condominium, she checked out the surveillance videos at the entrance of the residential area. After editing a few parts, she posted it on the internet.
Soon, the incident about Jackson deliberately finding her trouble was spread.
Netizens had suspected that Quinton was instructed by him. Now they were more sure after watching the video.
The people who liked Jackson before had disliked him now. Jackson already had a bad reputation, and there was no chance of turning the tables.
Cecilia did not pay attention to what happened next. After posting the video, she went to cook dinner for herself in the kitchen.
When cooking the last soup, she received a call from Elaine.
Cecilia quickly turned off the stove and went to the balcony to answer it.
Looking in the direction of Acocester, Cecilia’s face softened. “Grandma Elaine, I’ve made you worried about me.”
Elaine’s old voice was full of displeasure. “You know that I’m worried about you. Then return to the Shaw residence and stay away from those bad people in Quilton.”
“I’ll return during the summer break and spend more time
The True Lady Strikes Back
with you, Grandma Elaine.”
What Cecilia meant was that she did not intend to leave Quilton.
Elaine sighed. “Ceci, it is my fault. I shouldn’t have persuaded you to go back and find your family. You end up finding a lot of sc*m.”
“Grandma Elaine, you are doing it for my good. Don’t blame yourself. Although the Yancey family aren’t nice, there are some people who treated me well. It is worthwhile to come to Quilton.”
Hearing that, Elaine finally smiled.
“I heard from Evan that you have not only made a female friend but there’s also a man who is chasing after you and has a good relationship with you.”
Thinking of Yvette and Christopher, Cecilia laughed in
response.
“So don’t worry, Grandma Elaine. I’m fine.”
“Wait until you go back to Acocester and see Dr. Cohen. I won’t believe it until he says that you are fine.”
“You will definitely hear what you want to hear from Dr. Cohen. You are in poor health, so rest early. I’ll go back to see you at most half a month later.”
Elaine was old and indeed felt a little sleepy.
“Okay, bring Christopher with you. Find a chance and let me have a look.”
Cecilia blushed and felt a little embarrassed.
“Grandma Elaine, my relationship with Christopher hasn’t reached that stage yet. Let’s talk about it later.”
“I’m old. Maybe I won’t be able to wait for the future, so bring him back.”
Cecilia’s tone became serious. “Okay.”
The True Lady Strikes Back
“Good luck with the race tomorrow. I will wait for your good
news.”
“Okay. Good night, Grandma Elaine.”
After hanging up the phone, Cecilia was in a heavy mood.
Elaine was 90 years old this year. She was in poor health and always fell ill. She went to the hospital almost every month.
In order not to make Cecilia worried about her, Elaine never let Cecilia know about it.
Cecilia could only pretend that she did not know it and let Elaine feel relieved.
Thinking that Elaine’s greatest wish was for Cecilia to be happy, Cecilia immediately controlled her emotions and went back to the kitchen to continue cooking soup.
After dinner, Cecilia was about to go downstairs for a walk when the doorbell rang.
“Hello, this is the property management. I’m here to check the natural gas pipeline.”
Cecilia looked out through the peephole and confirmed that it was the property management.
However, the property management staff looked nervous and his gaze wavered. It seemed that he had been threatened by
someone.
