Chapter 152
After getting in the car, Cecilia asked Christopher, “How is Fiona?”
She had only received the news that Fiona was saved, but she didn’t know the specific situation.
Christopher, on the other hand, had received the specific information, but he had been too busy
defusing the bomb to read it.
He took out his phone, unlocked it, and handed it to Cecilia. “I haven’t looked at it yet. Check it for
yourself.”
Cecilia took the phone and tapped on the unread message. Her face turned gloomy when she saw
Fiona’s condition.
Although she had expected it, it was still difficult for her to accept when it actually happened.
“Fiona is hurt so badly that I don’t know if she’ll be able to recover.”
Christopher looked at Cecilia who was depressed and held her hand.
“Fiona is not an ordinary person. She’ll be fine. Don’t blame yourself too much.”
Cecilia pursed her lips and said in a dull tone, “She suffered because of me.”
“Ceci, it’s not your fault. You reminded the Yates family, but they didn’t take it seriously. That’s why this
happened. It was the mastermind who hurt Fiona. If you want to make it up to her, find and eliminate
the mastermind!”
The guilt on Cecilia’s face was replaced by murderous intent when she heard that.
She returned the phone to Christopher and said, “I hope we

can find something useful.”
Christopher took the phone and nodded affirmatively. “We will.”
Then he asked, “Ceci, why does the mastermind want to see you? What did he say to you?”
Cecilia recalled the meeting with Jason.
They didn’t have any meaningful conversation, but she distinctly remembered two sentences.
However, there were some things that couldn’t be said in front of an outsider, even if he was a driver
Christopher trusted.
“Let’s have a good chat after we meet those two.”
Christopher didn’t ask further. He nodded and then talked about the Yancey family.
“Ceci, Jackson was arrested by the police and sentenced to one and a half years.”
Cecilia was thinking about Jason’s words when she heard him and asked, “Why did he get arrested?”
She thought it had ended with Jackson driving the bus, but she didn’t expect that there would be a
follow–up.
“It was Juliana who provided the police with some evidence that Jackson tried to win the race and
attacked you, but the evidence is not very sufficient. The maximum sentence is one year.”
Cecilia was not surprised that Juliana would backstab Jackson because she was an extreme egoist.
For those who were useful to her, she would spoil them, but for those who were useless to her, she
would abandon and betray them.
If she hadn’t died suddenly, perhaps the Yancey family would have suffered.
However, the Yancey family deserved it because the evidence

was not fabricated.
She didn’t have any mood swings because Jackson was going to jail. Instead, she asked about the
situation in Yancey
Corporation.
“Did Jonathan do anything after he was assigned to clean the toilet?”
After Cecilia handed over the company to Christopher’s management team, she did not get involved
with anything
anymore.
However, she could guess that they would report to
Christopher about the situation in Chrystilia Corporation every day.
Indeed, Christopher did know about the situation in Chrystilia Corporation.
He was not coveting Chrystilia Corporation but worried that someone would cause trouble while the
company was in turmoil.
He shook his head and sneered.
“Jonathan vents his frustrations on the toilet daily, resulting in several broken brushes. However, rest
assured that the cost of the damaged company property will be deducted from his paycheck.”
No one cared about the money, but it was an insult to Jonathan.
Cecilia could imagine Jonathan’s angry but helpless look.
She smiled. “A year is enough for him to become a qualified toilet cleaner.”
Christopher thought a month was enough instead of a year.
The more conceited individuals are, the more likely they are to be brought down to earth by reality.
He leaned his elbow against the window, held his forehead with his hand, and tilted his head to look at
Cecilia.

“Ceci, is this the end of your revenge against the Yancey family?”
He did not have enough.
However, it was Cecilia’s personal matter, and he respected her choice.
Cecilia imitated Christopher and put her left hand on her forehead and met his eyes.
“Of course not. I want the Yancey family to go bankrupt and lose everything!”
It would be the right thing to do for all the hurt she had suffered over the years.
She thought, “The Yancey family has done so many wrong things. It’s too easy on them if they attempt
to erase the past through repentance. Jonathan and Jackson are finished. Jeremiah and Jayden are
next.”
Christopher asked with great interest, “Ceci, what are you going to do next?”
He thought Cecilia would swing, but fortunately, she wasn’t.
Cecilia smiled maliciously. “I’ll kill them while they are ill, of course. I want Jeremiah and Jayden to
plummet from the heavens into a mire of difficulties.”
Given how messy the entertainment industry was, she
reckoned that these two people were definitely not as innocent. As long as she found dirt on them, it
would be all over for them.
Christopher raised his hand and brushed Cecilia’s hair behind her ear.
“Thanks to your 1 billion dollars, Jeremiah and Jayden were able to settle the breach of contract. Their
once shaky careers. are now on a more stable footing.”
The management that had been arguing for compensation for

the termination of the contract had also gone quiet.
Cecilia hadn’t expected this.
“Let them be happy for a few days, and then we’ll make a move on them after I’m done with the
mastermind’s matters.”
Christopher gave Cecilia an idea.
They chatted and arrived at Skyhaven Club.
When Cecilia got out of the car, she noticed that an injury to Christopher’s arm was significantly
hindering his agility.
She had forgotten about that and had even asked him to defuse the bomb.
“Christopher, wait a minute.”
Christopher’s hand was already on the door lock. Hearing that, he withdrew his hand.
He looked at Cecilia’s sullen face and asked softly, “Ceci, what are you…”
Before he could finish his words, Cecilia threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly.
Christopher was stunned as she rarely took the initiative.
After a while, he asked, “Ceci, what’s wrong?”
Cecilia let go of Christopher, put her chin on his shoulder, and said, “It was dangerous when you
defused the bomb, wasn’t it?”
When the mastermind called out the impossibility of defusing the bomb when he knew it was being
defused, Cecilia realized that it was not an easy task.
Christopher didn’t expect Cecilia to suddenly bring that up.
He smiled and said, “It wasn’t dangerous.”
Truth be told, it was dangerous.
Due to the rigidity of his right hand and the balance
mechanism in the bomb, a lack of caution could easily trigger an explosion.

Fortunately, he managed to maintain his composure, ensuring his hands didn’t tremble in the slightest,
thus preventing a potential catastrophe.
However, this caused his barely healed wound to rupture once again.
Fortunately, it wasn’t serious. The blood didn’t seep through the clothes, so Cecilia didn’t notice it.
Cecilia didn’t believe what Christopher said. She bit her lip and asked, “Why didn’t you remind me at
the time that you were wounded in the arm and couldn’t defuse the bomb?”
Christopher tilted his head and kissed her hair.
“It doesn’t matter. I promised to be your backup, and I will never go back on my word. I was confident in
disarming the bomb before going there.”
He was the best expert in the Peacekeeping Forces.
He knew how to assemble bombs and how to disarm them as
well.
The situation had been urgent, and it had been about Cecilia’s safety. He had had to go.
Cecilia let go of Christopher and said, “Don’t be so rash in the future. I don’t want to lose you.”
Christopher’s heart began to beat violently again. He resisted the urge to kiss Cecilia and spoke.
“Okay. I will cherish my life in the future.”
Then he opened the car door and said, “Let’s go see those two.” Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
