The True Lady Strikes Back by Susanna Lucius - Season 1 Episode 99

After hearing Cecilia’s words, the man instinctively turned to grab the stone, intending to erase the fingerprints on it.
The police at the scene naturally couldn’t stand idly by and watch him destroy the evidence. They promptly took steps to protect the stone.
Then, they requested disposable gloves from a nurse and obtained a sealed bag to package the stone as evidence.
The man looked at the stone with a pale face and quibbled, “It was unintentional. I didn’t mean to harm anyone. It’s all because Cecilia is so wicked that I couldn’t control myself.”
“No matter what your reasons are, you can’t commit a crime.”
After that, the police took the man away.
The team leader turned to Cecilia, who was dressed in a hospital gown, and said, “Ms. Yancey, if you’re not feeling well, you can wait until you’re in better health before going to the police
station to cooperate with the investigation.”
“No need. Just wait for me here. I’ll come down after changing my clothes.”
Soon, Cecilia returned to the ward.
On Christopher’s computer screen, there was a display of the lobby’s surveillance footage.
Therefore, he was aware that Cecilia was going to the police station.
“Ceci, I’m considered an accomplice in everyone’s eyes. I also need to cooperate with the investigation. Let’s go to the police station together.”

Cecilia, who was changing in the bathroom, immediately poked her head out.
“Your injury needs rest, and it’s not advisable to move around. Just stay in the hospital and wait for my news. I’ll be back soon.”
After saying that, she retreated into the bathroom and
continued changing her clothes.
She washed her clothes last night, and they were already dry after a night.
Once Cecilia had finished changing her clothes and came out, she noticed that Christopher had gotten out of bed.
She looked at him seriously. “I’m just going to gather some information. You don’t need to accompany me. Go to bed and lie down.”
Despite his limp, Christopher hobbled over to Cecilia and gazed at her tenderly.
“I’m not accompanying you. I’m going to the police station to cooperate with the investigation.”
The Yancey family was undoubtedly frantic and determined to retaliate against Cecilia.
Therefore, he wanted to protect Cecilia, regardless of whether she needed it or not.
Cecilia understood that Christopher was worried about her, which was why he wanted to go to the police station with her.
Her tone softened as she said, “Be a good boy and wait for me at the hospital. I’ll be fine.”
Her coaxing tone made Christopher smile, and his eyes and expressions became even gentler.
“All right, I won’t go. I’ll have the bodyguards accompany you,

“Don’t worry, I’ll rush back to have lunch with you.”
Cecilia reassured him and then left thereafter.
Christopher assigned four bodyguards to protect her and contacted Sebastian to go to the police station.
Sebastian was not only the vice president of Skyhaven Club, but
also Christopher’s personal lawyer.
Twenty minutes later, Cecilia arrived at the police station.
She was surprised to see Sebastian there.
“Mr. Tanner, why are you here?”
Sebastian said with a smile, “Ms. Yancey, Mr. Forte had arranged me as your lawyer. With me here, you might be able to meet those three individuals.”
Taking a step back, even if Cecilia couldn’t see them, Sebastian could still meet with the lawyers representing the three individuals to gather some information.
Cecilia nodded and entered the police station with Sebastian.
Although she was there to assist with the investigation, in the eyes of the journalist, she had been invited by the police for questioning.
Online comments were filled with expressions of joy and celebration.
Of course, Cecilia was unaware of these comments.
Even if she knew it, she wouldn’t pay them any mind.
She was well aware that keyboard warriors like them thrived on stirring up trouble and seeking attention.
They would support Juliana, who appeared to be in a vulnerable position now, but once the truth surfaced, they would relentlessly vilify her.

The policeman asked her questions, and she answered. She answered truthfully about everything except for the incident in the hospital room where she had harmed Juliana and her prior knowledge of Juliana’s assault by the gang.
After providing her statement, she asked, “Did those three say anything about how I contacted them?”
“No, they only insisted that you were the one who ordered them to kidnap and harm Juliana. They didn’t provide any specific details.”
Because of this, the police suspected that the three suspects were intentionally trying to frame Cecilia, and that’s why they hadn’t taken any action against her.
Cecilia had guessed it long ago because the more she said, the more loopholes there were.
She asked again, “Can I meet those three with my lawyer present?”
“It depends on the suspects’ wishes. If they don’t want to meet, there’s nothing we can do.”
Juliana’s case had garnered excessive public attention, causing even the minutest details to be magnified and exerting pressure on the police.
Therefore, everything had to be done by the book.
Cecilia nodded in understanding. “Got it. Let’s ask them first. If they don’t agree, then let the lawyers from both sides meet.”
“That can be arranged. Please wait here while I go and ask.”
In no time, the police returned with an unpleasant expression.
“The three suspects refuse to meet, claiming that Ms. Yancey is a l**atic and would definitely kill them to silence them. They also accuse us, the police, of sheltering criminals, and threaten to

Now, the police fully believed that Cecilia wasn’t involved in the kidnapping case. The three were clearly framing her.
Cecilia looked up at the surveillance cameras at the corner and said, “We have a clear conscience, so there’s nothing to be nervous about.”
Sebastian asked, “Is it okay for the lawyers from both sides to meet?”
“The suspect’s lawyer is not at the police station. You’ll have to arrange a meeting yourselves. I can provide you with their contact information.”
“Okay, thank you.”
Although Sebastian had obtained the contact information, he was well aware that the other side was likely to find excuses not
to meet.
Their goal was solely to turn Cecilia into a criminal and make everyone condemn her.
Before Cecilia left, she asked the police, “Has Juliana given her statement? What did she say?”
“I’m sorry, Ms. Yancey, but I can’t disclose the details of the investigation.”
“All right, I understand.”
After discussing the matter at hand, she inquired about the man who had thrown a stone at her.
“This person must have been instigated by someone behind the scenes. I hope that the police will uncover the mastermind soon.”
“Don’t worry, Ms. Yancey. We will thoroughly investigate this matter and inform you if we have any information.”
“A 11~ht thank you”

When Cecilia came out of the police station, it had already been an hour.
There were large crowds of journalists waiting at the entrance, eagerly snapping photos of her.
They were aware that Cecilia had Christopher’s support behind her and were cautious about openly confronting her.
Although the questions they asked were not friendly, they were not overly harsh either.
“Ms. Yancey, you came out of the police station so quickly. Does that mean the police have cleared you of any wrongdoing?”
“Or is it that the police currently lack concrete evidence, so they’ve released you for now?”
“Ms. Yancey, you are a major suspect now. Have you been restricted from leaving Quilton?”
“Everyone on the internet is looking for evidence now. Are you afraid, Ms. Yancey?”
Cecilia ignored the journalists’ questions and, under the protection of the bodyguards, got into her car and left.
However, the reporters followed her like a swarm of flies.
One of the bodyguards asked, “Ms. Yancey, would you like us to shake off the reporters?”
Cecilia looked at the rearview mirror and shook her head. “No need. Let’s not go back to the hospital for now.”
The bodyguard thought she might be going to grab lunch, but she surprised him by saying, “Let’s go to the hospital where Juliana is.”
