Chapter 641. The Truth Res
Isabella had followed Benjamin as they visited several other departments until Green bought coffee in the afternoon, signalling the end of their half-day tour.
On the other hand, Cecilia had received a WhatsApp message from her close friend, leaving her completely stunned.
“Cecilia, you know my mom is the Deputy Minister of Procurement at the Mason Family Group, right?”
“This morning, she saw Benjamin and a girl walking hand in hand, making a very public appearance at the Mason Family Group. They even went to the employee cafeteria together for lunch.”
“My mom said the girl was stunningly beautiful, with top- notch looks, even more attractive than us, and around the same age.”
“I heard Benjamin’s mother even arrived at the employee cafeteria and had lunch with them. They laughed and talked intimately during their time together, like a family.”
“Cecilia, wasn’t Benjamin your fiancé? How could he be with another girl and receive the approval of the Mason Family?”
Upon reading these WhatsApp messages, Cecilia’s body had suddenly gone cold, as she had fallen into an icy abyss. Although she had known the truth would eventually come out, she hadn’t expected it to happen so soon.

How had Isabella made Benjamin walk openly with her at the Mason Family Group, taking her to the employee cafeteria, afraid that others wouldn’t know about their relationship?
“I heard that as soon as she arrived at the company, Josephine, the beautiful minister from the Personnel Department, had voluntarily resigned. Snow, who had a good relationship with the Mason Family, had been fired by Benjamin. Could it be that these two were too attractive and held high positions, threatening that girl’s status?”
Cecilia looked at the WhatsApp messages from her friend, feeling complicated and chose not to reply.
“Benjamin was your fiancé, but there were very few pictures of you two together… Had anything happened between you? Was the engagement still valid?”
Upon reading this sentence, Cecilia’s mood had grown even more agitated. After much thought, she realised that keeping it a secret was not a solution, so she fabricated a story.
“My dear, Benjamin and I had parted ways a long time ago. We hadn’t disclosed it to people yet because our parents hadn’t announced it. Now that he had found someone he liked, I blessed him. Don’t worry about me; I had a strong support backup.”
As soon as Cecilia had sent the message, her friend had bombarded her with seven or eight messages, incredulously asking for more details.
Unable to let it go without an explanation, Cecilia had said, “Wayne’s unwavering pursuit and his sincerity had touched me, so I had decided to give up on Benjamin and be with him.”

Her words had been deliberately ambiguous, making it seem like she had dumped Benjamin first.
Her friend had been skeptical. Who would give up the handsome and young global tycoon Benjamin and choose someone like Wayne, who fell short in every aspect?
“The higher the public’s approval of Benjamin, the pickier they became about the women around him. I didn’t want to wear a perfect mask for the rest of my life. Only with Wayne could I be free to be myself.”
“What about Benjamin? Did he agree to let go? You grew up together… He didn’t even try to hold on to you and gave you to Wayne?”
Cecilia sighed in response.
“I had been determined to break up, and by threatening him with a lifetime of not seeing each other, maybe he had gotten scared. Or maybe I had hurt his feelings. Perhaps I had turned around and held Wayne’s hand too quickly, so he had quickly found a new love and appeared so openly in front of everyone.”
Her friend suddenly realised, “Oh, I understand now… He wanted to show you that as long as he, Benjamin, wanted, he could have women around him at any given moment. No wonder he, who had always been low-key, was so high-profile this time.”
Cecilia had made a helpless expression. “He had known your mother was the Deputy Minister of Procurement, and he had known about our relationship, yet he still did this on
purpose…”

“Oh my, he was so passionate! How could you bear to hurt him…” Her friend had felt sorry for Benjamin and had regretted the relationship.
Seeing that her friend truly believed her story, Cecilia breathed a sigh of relief. “Benjamin was like a shining star, and being with him brought too much pressure. Every move I made in my life would be scrutinised endlessly. I didn’t want to live with that kind of exhaustion.”
Her friend couldn’t help but say, “But deliberately using a new love to provoke you showed that he still loved you. He was such a great man. Are you really not planning to return to him and become the wife of the global billionaire?”
Cecilia responded with a broader perspective: “The love between him and me had taken a different form. He had transformed from fiancés to good friends. The love and support we gave each other will never change in this lifetime. We weren’t cutting off all ties. In the future, we will continue caring for, supporting, and loving each other even more.”
Seeing that the atmosphere was appropriately set, Cecilia continued, “Wendy, I confided in you about this secret because I considered you a good friend. Please, you must keep it confidential. Don’t let it leak until both parents come forward to make the announcement. Then I will personally
address this matter.”
“Rest assured, I won’t say a word!”
After Wendy had sent that message, she couldn’t help but be concerned about Cecilia’s mood. Learning that Cecilia had let go and feeling somewhat down and guilty, Wendy had

planned to surprise Cecilia at the Logan Family’s place and show their care and support.
After sending the WhatsApp messages, Cecilia thought she had executed the plan flawlessly. She quickly put her phone aside and prepared to take a nap.
It had been around 4 p.m.
Several beautiful and wealthy girls had arrived at the gate of the Lakeside Villas in their luxury cars. Eloise had just returned from the hospital and was still weary due to Freda’s death. Seeing so many girls all at once, she had been momentarily taken aback.
“Auntie, it’s me, Wendy! Long time no see. Why do you look so worn out?”
“Is it because you didn’t rest well last night? I’m Rita, don’t you remember me?”
“Long time no see, Auntie. I’m Rosa.”
“I’m Ella.”
“I’m Sibyl, Auntie. Sorry for bothering you again.”
Eloise had looked closer and had recognised that these girls were Cecilia’s close friends. She quickly invited them inside, saying, “Come in and sit down. I’ve been so busy these days… I haven’t had a moment to myself. It’s been a while, and you all look so beautiful.” Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
“Thank you for the compliment, Auntie.” The wealthy girls smiled brightly and followed Eloise through the villa’s
entrance.

Their drivers and luxury cars had remained outside the ga
“Are you here to see Cecilia? It’s Sunday today, and if she hasn’t gone out, she should be taking a nap. I can send someone to check.”
“No need, Auntie. Don’t wake her up. We’ll wander around and chat with her when she wakes up.”
“You’ve come all this way. Stay for dinner tonight. Don’t be polite…” Eloise called for the house staff to serve them cof and cake. She had kindly said, “Auntie will go upstairs to change her clothes and be back soon.”
“It’s okay, Auntie. You go about your business. We’ll stroll around the garden…”
“You have so many new plant varieties in your garden… The look beautiful.”
“We’ll take some pictures here and have fun while we wait… You just leave us here. No need to worry about us.”
