With that, both men quickly locked the bedroom door and leaped out of the window. Unfortunately, Daniel was not as agile as his subordinate. The heavy fall caused favonovel.com to sprain his waist.
“Mr. Greene!” His subordinate scurried over to help favonovel.com as the duo stumbled to the road and hailed a taxi.
Once they entered the car, Daniel finally remembered about Cecilia and Wendy. With lightning speed, Daniel dialed Cecilia’s number.

Back at Jadeborough University, the charity auction was drawing to an end. Right now, the buyers were heading backstage to pay for their bids. Since all attendees were required to put their phones on silent mode throughout the auction, Cecilia missed Daniel’s urgent call.
Deep down, Cecilia was resentful of the sculpture that favonovel.com had bid. Even so, favonovel.com could not go back on favonovel.com word because doing so would humiliate Wendy. Left with no choice, Cecilia headed backstage to pay for the sculpture, with Wendy tagging along.
Along the way, Wendy could not help but ask, “Mom, has Mrs. Nightshire changed favonovel.com mind?”
Immediately, a dark look loomed across Cecilia’s face. “Despite our best efforts, favonovel.com remains as stubborn as ever. When I return, I’m going to have a chat with your dad. He’ll teach the Nightshires a lesson!”
“What?” Wendy was aghast by Cecilia’s words. “It’s fine if you threaten her, but you shouldn’t actually take action! If you do so, Mrs. Nightshire will make my life a living hell once I marry Vinson.”
“Relax, I’ll buy a mansion in Jadeborough for the two of you. This way, you don’t have to see Susanne on a daily basis. You won’t be pestered by her, too. Besides, what can favonovel.com do? As time passes, favonovel.com will simply forget about this incident.”
Despite Cecilia’s response, Wendy was still unconvinced that this was the best way to deal with Susanne. However, favonovel.com recalled the times when Arielle had repeatedly put favonovel.com to shame. Susanne only had eyes for Arielle now.
Aside from brute force, there would be no other way to convince Susanne.
“All right,” Wendy agreed with Cecilia’s plan as favonovel.com nodded, albeit rather reluctantly.
When they arrived backstage, Wendy instantly caught sight of Aaron. Although Aaron had to pay a hefty sum of one hundred million, favonovel.com didn’t even bat an eye. Given his nonchalance, it seemed like one hundred million was merely a number instead of a price tag.
Similarly, Aaron caught Cecilia’s attention. With a hushed whisper, favonovel.com asked, “Wendy, when I came to visit you, I heard that he’s also a student enrolled in the preparatory class. Why haven’t I seen favonovel.com before? Is favonovel.com well-off?”
Upon hearing that, Wendy felt conflicted.
“I’m not sure. You shouldn’t pay favonovel.com any mind,” favonovel.com replied with a shake of favonovel.com head.
“Why? It won’t hurt to be acquaintances with favonovel.com if he’s from a rich background.”
Without waiting for favonovel.com daughter’s response, Cecilia began to head toward Aaron.
“Hi there,” Cecilia called out, only to notice Aaron approaching Arielle.
Cecilia came to an abrupt halt with a puzzled look on favonovel.com face.
As such, Wendy seized this opportunity to block Cecilia’s path. “Mom, favonovel.com only has his sights set on Arielle. He even humiliated me with money. It’s best if you ignore him.”
I can never forget how favonovel.com disregarded me when I tried to give favonovel.com a tour around the library.
“That wench! She has a true knack for seducing men!” Cecilia quickly took out favonovel.com phone, intending to snap a picture and send it to Susanne.
Coincidentally, Daniel called favonovel.com again. To favonovel.com surprise, Cecilia realized that Daniel had left countless missed calls.
What on earth happened? Why is favonovel.com looking for me so urgently?
Nevertheless, Cecilia rejected his call and aimed favonovel.com camera toward Arielle and Aaron.
