The True Lady Strikes Back by Susanna Lucius - Season 1 Episode 86

Jackson did not want Cecilia to beat him on the racing track, so he bribed Quinton to lure her into hurting him and drug her with a stimulant.
However, he never wanted to kill Cecilia.
Although Cecilia was annoying and had been disowned by the Yancey family, she was still his sister!
Thinking of this, he tightened his grip on Juliana’s collar.
“Julia, tell me that you didn’t do it!”
Although he already knew the answer, he did not want to believe that Juliana, who had always defended Cecilia, would play tricks behind his back.
Juliana did not expect Jackson to suspect her, so she panicked.
However, it was just for a moment.
Her tears instantly poured out, as if she had been greatly wronged.
“Jack, I don’t even know what happened to Cecilia. What do you want me to say?”
Tears rolled down the back of Jackson’s hand. The heat made him shrink and loosen his grip again.
However, he did not relent immediately like usual.
“Julia, stop pretending. I know it’s you. Why did you try to kill Cecilia?”
Juliana looked at Jackson in disbelief.
For the first time, her tears failed in front of him.
It was also the first time he had accused her of something like this for Cecilia.
Tears blurred her gaze, making everything seem so unreal.

She sobbed as she said, “Jack, Cecilia saved my life. How could I hurt her? You must have made a mistake.”
Jackson also hoped that he had made a mistake.
However, he was sure that it was Julianal
Looking at Juliana, who was delicate and pitiful in front of him, he suddenly found her unfamiliar.
He thought, ‘How did she hurt others while pretending to be
the victim?
Besides that, she was harming her savior!”
Jackson let go of Juliana with disappointment in his eyes. “Julia, Cecilia did nothing wrong this time. I’ll pretend that nothing happened, but I hope it’s the last time. Cecilia is a member of the Yancey family.”
Hearing this, Juliana tightly clenched her hands on the hospital blanket.
She thought, “If Cecilia’s member of the Yancey family, then what am I?”
She tried to adjust her emotions. She raised her hand and wiped off the tears in the corners of her eyes with a determined gaze.
“Jack, whether you believe me or not, I didn’t do it!”
“I hope Christopher can’t find out it’s you, or you won’t be able to bear his anger!”
“Don’t touch Cecilia anymore. She’s not someone you can mess with, or else no one can protect you.”
Jackson gave Juliana a meaningful look and completely cut off his affection for her.
He turned around and said, “Julia, I’ll never visit you again. Take care of yourself.”
He left slowly and solemnly.

He did not expect himself to end up like this with the person he liked.
When he left, he also removed the bodyguards he had sent to protect Juliana.
Juliana looked at the figure who had disappeared from the window and threw her pillow to the ground in anger.
“Ah! Cecilia, why don’t you die?”
She was scared to shout too loudly for fear of being heard.
She was irritable as she felt like something was stuck in her throat, and she could not do anything about it.
She thought, ‘Cecilia has been kicked out of the Yancey family, but why has everyone’s attitude toward the Yancey family changed?
It’s Sophia first, and now Jackson. Who’s next?
There can’t be another one. I’m going to change the current situation!’
Thinking of this, Juliana forced herself to calm down and think about countermeasures.
While waiting for the elevator, Jackson, who had left, saw Cecilia and Christopher coming out of a ward.
Christopher’s arm in a sling hung around his neck.
He also walked slowly with a limp.
Cecilia thoughtfully helped him and walked slowly at his pace.
Ding!
The elevator door opened, but Jackson did not go in. Instead, he walked toward them.
Christopher’s eyes suddenly turned cold and sharp when he saw Jackson.
Jackson knew he disliked him, so he did not move forward.
He looked at Cecilia and apologized guiltily, “Sorry.”

He said in his mind, ‘Sorry, I want to protect Juliana, so I can’t tell you the truth.
Sorry, I’ve done so many things to hurt you.
Sorry, I haven’t treated you well since you came back to the Yancey residence.
So sorry!’
Looking into Cecilia’s all-knowing eyes, his words stuck in his throat as he felt embarrassed.
“I’ll get my commercial driver’s license and drive buses for free for ten years. Before that, I’ll drive a tour bus carrying passengers at the racing track.”
Cecilia hummed a reply indifferently. “Isn’t that what you’re supposed to do?”
In other words, he did not need to say it out loud as he did not do it as an extra job.
“If you really feel guilty, you should confess the despicable things you’ve done!”
“Just words alone aren’t considered an apology!” she thought.
Jackson agreed without hesitation, “Okay. I’ll have a livestream
soon.”
He did owe Cecilia an explanation and a public apology.
Cecilia was surprised.
She did not expect Juliana’s senior simp to mend his ways one day.
It seemed he had fallen out with Juliana.
She asked bluntly, “Did you or Juliana do the incident this morning?”
This morning’s incident involved deliberate killing. Jackson naturally would not take the blame for Juliana, but he would not betray her either.

“I don’t know.”
After saying that, he wanted to leave, but Christopher stopped him.
“Wait, I have something to ask you.”
Jackson’s heart ski**ed a beat as he asked nervously, “What is it?”
Christopher looked at Cecilia. “Ceci, show him the photo of that man. They’ve seen each other before.”
Jackson soon saw the photo on Cecilia’s phone and recognized the blond-haired man.
“Mr. Christopher Forte, I don’t know him.”
“I don’t need you to know him. Just tell me if you’ve seen his
face clearly.”
Christopher’s tone was solemn, which stressed Jackson out.
He nodded. “Yes.”
The blond-haired man came out of Juliana’s ward, and he had taken a good look at him.
“Will there be a problem if I ask you to help with a composite drawing?”
It would be much easier to find out the relationship between him and Juliana as long as he had a man’s face.
Jackson figured out Christopher was investigating the man because of Juliana.
He asked, “Mr. Christopher Forte, why are you investigating him?”
“It has nothing to do with you. Just tell me if you’ll help me.” Jackson did not want to harm Juliana, so he said nothing. “A leopard cannot change its spots,” Cecilia said and helped Christopher walk toward Juliana’s ward.
Cecilia’s words probably triggered Jackson; it made him

change his mind.
“I’m willing to cooperate, but I have a condition.”
Cecilia ignored him, but Christopher stopped.
“Let’s hear it.”
“If you find out he has something to do with Juliana, please tell me, Mr. Christopher Forte.”
He wanted to know what the real Juliana was like!
It was a small matter for Christopher, so he agreed.
“Okay, you can go to Matthias now. He’ll arrange someone to do the composite drawing.”
“Got it.”
Jackson left after saying that.
When the elevator door closed, he saw Cecilia and Christopher enter Juliana’s ward.
