The True Lady Strikes Back by Susanna Lucius - Season 1 Episode 92

Juliana observed Felix’s excessive confidence and spoke in a stern tone, “Christopher is no ordinary adversary. Don’t underestimate him. Stay low and avoid drawing attention, so you won’t get caught.”
Felix snorted and said disdainfully, “Got it, coward!”
He knew that Juliana looked down on him and thought he was ignorant.
But she never thought about the fact that if their parents hadn’t been audacious enough to switch her identity with Cecilia’s, she would never have become the Yancey family’s daughter. Seeing that Felix didn’t listen to her words at all, Juliana said in a particularly strict tone, “If you really want to use the Yancey family as a cash cow, please restrain yourself!”
Money was Felix’s Achilles’ heel.
He immediately wilted.
“Got it. It’s all your fault. If you weren’t sick, you would have been the favorite princess of the Yancey family forever, with endless money.”
After saying that, he muttered angrily, “What bad luck!”
Juliana didn’t want to get sick, but it was beyond her control. Reflecting on how, when she was ill, the Quigley family only seemed to care about money, she felt disheartened.
If she didn’t need the Quigley family for a certain unsavory task, she would have allowed it to disappear from this world.
She held back her anger and asked, “I asked you to find someone to deal with Joel? Has it been done?”
Felix nonchalantly picked his nose without displaying any
emotion.
No money. What should I do?”
Hearing this, Juliana almost vomited blood. “Didn’t I give you 200 thousand dollars last time in the hospital?”
Felix was a gangster who was ignorant and incompetent. However, he had a wide network of acquaintances from diverse backgrounds, many of whom frequently found themselves in the detention center.
As a result, it was straightforward for him to locate someone to handle Joel, and it didn’t require much expense.
Felix retorted with frustration, “The money you provided isn’t sufficient to purchase a car. I’ve also borrowed a substantial sum from my friends and accumulated debts.”
Then he put his hand in front of Juliana and said, “Give me more money.”
Juliana contemplated picking up the cutlery on the ground and. piercing it through his palm.
But she dared not.
One reason was that she couldn’t overpower Felix, and the other was that she required his assistance.
“I’m kidnapped now, so it’s not advisable to access the funds in my card. You need to pay for it first, and I will give you 20 million dollars after getting the ransom from the Yancey family.”
Felix shook his index finger and said, “I took such a big risk. I want half of the ransom.”
Juliana gritted her teeth and said, “Okay!”
Felix smiled with satisfaction. “Put on your makeup first and record a miserable video to excite the Yancey family.”
For him, a huge ransom was more important than Juliana’s reputation.
Juliana cooperated and took the video.
After verifying that the video didn’t contain any flaws, Price sent it to Gordon.
Gordon was dealing with the police at this moment
He didn’t want the police to investigate the kidnapping esse af all, fearing that the kidnappers might kill Julians if they traind
out.
“Leave my house as soon as possible. I just want my daughter to come back safely, and the things that can be solved with money are all trivial”
Kidnapping was a criminal offense, and someone had already alerted the police, so they were compelled to investigate it thoroughly.
“Mr. Yancey, the only way to ensure Ms. Yancey’s safety is to apprehend the kidnappers. These criminals are driven by greed, and they will surely demand a second ransom after benefiting from their initial demands.”
Gordon snorted disdainfully. “Are you suggesting that I can ensure my daughter’s unharmed return by cooperating?” Of course, the police couldn’t guarantee it.
“Mr. Yancey, we won’t obstruct your attempts to rescue Ms. Yancey, but all your actions must be carried out under our supervision to maximize the chances of her safe return.” “Okay, I can’t drive you away anyway. However, it’s imperative that the kidnappers remain unaware of your true identity. As soon as Gordon finished speaking, his phone received a message.
Because it was from a strange number, he only glanced at it briefly before looking away.
The police warned, “Mr. Yancey, it may be from the kidnappers.”
Gordon immediately unlocked his phone and clicked on the
message.
The message was a video.
The image beneath the triangular play button was somewhat blurry, but it was still discernible that Juliana was bound to a chair.
He clicked the play button with his trembling fingers.
The picture was presented to everyone clearly.
A man with a black hood grabbed Juliana’s hair and forced her to look at the camera.
Her face was pale, and her hospital gown was stained with blood.
The corners of her mouth were bruised, and she was obviously beaten.
The man placed his hand on Juliana’s neckline and tugged forcefully.
The hospital gown was already loose, and after snapping off the two buttons, her skin could be vaguely seen.
Juliana’s mouth was sealed. She couldn’t speak, and she wanted to struggle but could not move.
Tears rushed down her face, and her eyes were filled with despair.
Gordon was furious and scolded, “Ba**ard!”
As soon as Gordon finished cursing, the man said, “Quickly arrange for the ransom. If you fail to secure it, I won’t be kind. to her. A wealthy daughter must be quite appetizing.”
After saying that, he approached Juliana and took a deep breath.
Though his face remained concealed, everyone could envision the lecherous expression concealed beneath the black
headgear.

That was the end of the video.
Gordon immediately dialed the phone, only to find that it was an empty number.
The police checked the number and said, “It’s a virtual number. Mr. Yancey, please send us the video. Perhaps we can find useful clues.”
“Okay, please find a way to save my daughter.”
When Gordon forwarded the video, he found that it could only
be played once and had been corrupted.
The corrupted video could be restored, but it would take a long time.
It was likely that when the kidnappers contacted Gordon again, the video still hadn’t recovered.
The police immediately said, “Mr. Yancey, please tell us everything you know.”
Gordon was so anxious that he grabbed the police’s shoulder and said, “It was Cecilia and Christopher who kidnapped Julia
Go arrest them quickly and interrogate them!”
“Mr. Yancey, do you have any evidence?”
“Yes!”
Gordon informed the police about how Cecilia and Christopher had consistently mistreated Juliana.
“The doctor can testify, Juliana was in the ward before, and they almost killed her!”
“I’ll have someone investigate this matter right now.”
Gordon lacked confidence in the police as Christopher possessed significant influence and resources, so he asked Jackson to go to the hospital with them.
Before long, the policeman showed up in Christopher’s ward and explained why they came.

Jackson remained blocked by the bodyguard at the door.
Christopher leaned against the head of the bed, managing the company affairs on his computer.
Upon hearing the police, he replied without lifting his head, “If you have evidence, please proceed with the arrest of Cecilia and me. If not, kindly consult my lawyer.”
The police understood that he was not someone to be easily messed with. Hence, they adopted a more conciliatory tone. “Mr. Forte, lives are on the line. Please cooperate.”
Christopher ceased typing on the keyboard, raised his eyelids, and cast a cold glance in their direction.
“How am I supposed to cooperate?” Christopher retorted. Confess to kidnapping Juliana?”
Before the police could respond, he sneered, “Do I appear to be lacking 200 million dollars? If I were truly the one behind Juliana’s kidnapping, I’d demand the entire Yancey Corporation in exchange.”
Although he was arrogant, his words were very convincing.
The police added, “Mr. Forte, of course, you are not short of money, but Cecilia may not.”
At this moment, Cecilia was in the nurse’s room.
Hearing this, she opened the door and leaned against the frame with an indifferent expression.
“I might be lacking 2 billion dollars, but I’m certainly not short of 200 million dollars… Besides, I was the one who called the police.”
