The True Lady Strikes Back by Susanna Lucius - Season 2 Episode 17

Felix’s eyes widened as he looked at the word “disclosing the client’s privacy“.

He banged his hand on the document and glared at Caden. “What do you mean?”

Caden said, “It means literally. I have told the police everything you told me before.”

Hearing this, Felix almost broke down.

Felix shouted, “It’s against the law!”

Caden said, “Yes. And I lost my lawyer’s license for that. And I refunded all that you paid me before and compensated you with another 20,000 dollars.”

This was the heaviest punishment for lawyers who disclosed their clients‘ privacy.

But to Felix, it meant nothing.

Felix immediately got up and grabbed Caden’s collar with his handcuffed hand. He roared, “Why?”

Caden grabbed Felix’s wrist and gradually tightened his grip. Felix felt a great pain, so he immediately let go of Felix’s collar. Caden replied to Felix while adjusting his wrinkled collar, “Because I did it for Ms. Yancey.”

After saying that, Caden smiled at Felix. “Give a thief enough rope and he’ll hang himself. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have hired me as your attorney.”

Caden stood up, held Felix’s shoulders, and pressed them down hard.

Feeling great pressure from Caden’s palms, Felix sat back in his chair.

Caden looked at Felix coldly and warned, “If you don’t want to

stay in prison for the rest of your life, tell the police what you have done. Otherwise, you may not be able to live to the day that you should be put into prison, considering Cecilia’s relationship with Mr. Christopher Forte.”

Caden meant that offending Cecilia was no better than offending Christopher.

And it was too simple for Christopher to kill someone secretly.

Felix turned pale with fear on hearing Caden’s threat.

After spending years in Quilton, Felix knew clearly who Mr. Christopher Forte was and what kind of person he was.

Felix was afraid that he would be sentenced to at least ten years if he told the police the truth.

However, Felix knew how to choose the lesser of two evils.

Felix said with his lips trembling, “I got it.”

He didn’t want to die, so he had no choice but to confess to the police!

Caden let go of Felix’s hand with satisfaction.

Caden said, “I will give you a piece of advice as a lawyer. If you want to reduce your prison sentence, I suggest you turn yourself in. Cooperate with the police investigation on Juliana’s kidnapping case and help them catch the principal criminal.”

Then Caden left.

Felix looked at the two documents on the table and collapsed into the chair.

When the police came to take him to the interrogation room, Felix asked, “I will not hesitate to tell you all the truth. Does it count as a voluntary confession?”

The police officer said, “No. But the judge will factor this in in sentencing.”

Hearing this, Felix told the police everything and left no details.

Soon, Juliana who was in the hospital was taken to the police station to help with the investigation.

Cecilia hadn’t left Juliana. She had kept waiting.

At this time, Juliana was no longer angry or depressed. She had become calm and looked weak, as she usually was.

Looking at Cecilia who was blocking her way, Juliana tried to hide the flaring hatred in her eyes and bowed deeply to Cecilia. Juliana said, “I don’t want to take what doesn’t belong to me. I was forced to do that. I will tell the police everything later. I’m so sorry!”

Her voice was so hoarse, and she was stammering.

Cecilia had to guess some of her words and figure out what she was talking about.

Looking at Juliana who was still acting, Cecilia admired her brazenness.

Cecilia said, “Stop acting. You have done so many bad things. and I don’t believe you left no holes. The three members of the Quigley family were all arrested. Now you are in the police station. Do you think you can leave there very soon?”

Juliana straightened her back with tears welling in her eyes. Juliana said, “I know you hate me for taking everything from you, but I just can’t admit what I didn’t do.”

Juliana was full of regret when she said this, but a mild smile lifted the corner of her mouth.

It seemed as if Juliana was saying, “Even if it was me who did it, what can you do about it? What can you do to me without any evidence?”

Cecilia knew that Juliana was trying to provoke her and wasn’t angry at all.

Without answering Juliana’s question, Cecilia suddenly

changed the subject.

Cecilia said, “Kenton is awake now.”

Juliana’s expression changed slightly and she involuntarily tensed.

Juliana knew Kenton was very smart so she thought he might have left something disadvantageous to her!

Juliana pretended to be calm and said, “Good news. I’m happy for him.”

After saying that, Juliana asked the police officer who was holding her in confusion, “Is it illegal to install cameras without permission to violate others‘ privacy?”

The police officer knew Juliana was talking about the cameras in the hospital ward.

The police officer said, “We will investigate it.”

Juliana said, “I think Cecilia must be willing to help you with the investigation. After all, it was she who showed the pictures caught by the camera in the livestream.”

After Juliana calmed down, she checked the playback of the livestream and found something on Cecilia.

Juliana thought even if Cecilia wouldn’t go to jail for this, she would at least have a criminal record!

Cecilia sneered, “Juliana, after getting sentenced, read more books about the law in prison. You should at least know that you’re ignorant of the law.”

When Christopher looked for someone to install the camera, he had already figured out how to get away with it.

After the press conference, Cecilia voluntarily explained it to the police.

Cecilia claimed that before Juliana moved into the ward, a patient who had a severe depressive disorder lived there. The patient’s family installed a 360–degree camera to prevent her from committing suicide and later forgot to remove it.

The patient existed and her family did install a camera for her, but she lived in another ward.

Christopher tampered with her hospitalization records, changing the ward on the records to the one Juliana was assigned to.

The camera was installed legally, but Cecilia wouldn’t be found guilty after slight alteration of the facts.

However, the pictures taken were illegal evidence and could not be used in court.

But Juliana didn’t know this. All she knew was that Christopher saved Cecilia using his great power.

Juliana grew wildly jealous.

Juliana thought if Christopher loved her, she would be all right even if she killed someone!

Thinking about this, Juliana looked at Cecilia gloomily and viciously.

Juliana believed that as long as she overcame this obstacle, she would definitely find a way to split Cecilia and Christopher up. Juliana thought, “If I can’t get it, Cecilia won’t get it either!”

Cecilia felt bored watching Juliana break down. She turned around and left the police station.

Juliana was taken into an interrogation room by the police.

The police had no evidence against Juliana for the time being, so she was just taken to the police station to help with the investigation and was not treated as a suspect.

Before the police officer said anything, Juliana voluntarily gave him a USB drive.

Juliana explained, “There is evidence of Felix’s crime and Jackson’s hurting Cecilia in it.”

Juliana’s throat was aching really badly, so she didn’t tell everything to the police but wrote it down.

Juliana never regarded the Quigley family as her family but as selfish bloodsuckers.

Truth be told, the only thing the Quigley family wanted from her and asked her for was money.

Abigail scolded Juliana for asking Felix to do illegal things himself. Abigail said Juliana should have found someone else to do it.

Abigail’s words made sense. And Juliana deliberately asked Felix to do those things!

Juliana acted like she trusted Felix deeply. But actually, she wanted him to leave evidence of his crime.

Juliana wanted Felix to take the blame as revenge on the Quigley family if the police found the evidence!

But Juliana thought the evidence of Jackson’s crime would never be used.

But Jackson supported Cecilia and abandoned Juliana. Juliana thought he deserved it.

The police took away the USB drive, and Cecilia posted the conversation between Juliana and Abigail in the ward online.
