Chapter 46
Cecilia checked Juliana’s social circle and capital flow but did not find any abnormalities.
However, Juliana’s purchasing power was definitely at the maximum level within the aristocratic circle.
She spent at least hundreds of thousands of dollars monthly. During peak times, she could shell out up
to millions of dollars.
Although she earned money herself, most of her money came from the Yancey family.
Cecilia could not help but find it ironic that the money the Yancey family spent on her over the past few
years since her return was not even a fraction of what Juliana spent in a single month.
She wondered how she could be so naive back then, thinking that sincerity could be traded with
sincerity.
Fortunately, she did not go down a one-way path, or she would have regretted it deeply.
Thinking about the recorded conversation provided by Kevin, Cecilia realized it contained evidence of
him and Juliana conspiring to fake her illness.
Cecilia posted it online and tagged Juliana, asking her for an explanation.
Juliana ignored Jackson’s self-exposure video to maintain her relationship with the Yancey family while
distancing herself from the situation.
Cecilia will not let Juliana have her way.
After posting the recording, she put down her phone and got out of bed to clean up.
While cooking breakfast, Cecilia received a call from Calvin.

“Ms. Yancey, the interlude for [The Palace] has been recorded and included in the promotional video,
I’ll send it later for you to review. If everything is fine, the company will immediately proceed with the
marketing.”
“You don’t have to show it to me. I trust Yates Corporation’s. professional capabilities.”
“Okay! You can watch the promotional video online at around ten o’clock in the morning. If all goes
well, it should generate a huge buzz.”
“Well then, I’ll wait for the good news, Mr. Yates.” After saying that, Cecilia hung up the phone.
After breakfast, she changed into professional attire and contacted Oliver to sign the contract.
The details regarding the herb planting collaboration planting herbs were discussed and finalized last
night. All that was left was signing the contract that day.
Cecilia took a signed copy of the contract and provided Oliver with the soil formula.
“Mr. Sanders, please contact me once you’ve prepared the herb plantation. We’ll go together to
purchase herb seedlings. I’ll teach you the most effective methods for cultivation and maintenance with
the highest survival rate.”
Oliver was overjoyed. “All right, Ms. Yancey!”
After saying that, he recalled something. “Ms. Yancey, many people are contacting Mr. Yancey to buy
rare herbs. May I also purchase some?”
It took at least three years for the seedlings to grow into mature plants.
During this period, he would definitely need to buy some mature plants, or else he would not have
anything to use, Cecilia stirred the coffee in front of her and replied, “If Mr. Sanders isn’t in a hurry, you
can wait a bit. I’ll ensure that you

Tate,”
When she said she would make sure the herbs in Jonathan’s hands wouldn’t sell, it was not just an
empty statement. Thinking that the person behind Cecilia was Christopher, Oliver smiled and
responded, “Sure, Ms. Yancey, I’ll follow your advice and wait for now.”
“I won’t make you wait too long, Mr. Sanders. At most, two months.”
That was because the herbs in the herb plantation had already matured. They must be harvested
within two months, or their medicinal potency would decrease, and their prices would plummet.
Jonathan was clueless about herbs and did not have the equipment to process them, so he could only
sell them.
Whenever he could not sell them, he had to put them up for sale at a price below the market value.
After Oliver left, Cecilia contacted some familiar herb dealers, greeted them, and told them not to
purchase herbs from Jonathan for the time being.
The herb dealers had been cooperating with Cecilia for several years, and they had quite a good
relationship with her. Plus, since they only needed to wait a little longer to purchase the herbs at a
lower price, they, of course, agreed.
They all called Jonathan to cancel their orders.
Jonathan considered building a good relationship for their first-time collaboration as the main priority,
so he did not collect any deposits.
Little did he know, the other parties suddenly changed their minds, and he did not even have the
leverage to hold over them, which infuriated him.
When he recalled Cecilia’s words from last night, he got so

angry that he smashed his phone.
He loosened his tie and unbuttoned his shirt, finally feeling he could breathe smoothly.
The next second, the assistant entered the office and said, “Mr. Yancey, the company’s stocks have hit
the limit down again.”
Jonathan shouted in frustration, “Didn’t we do crisis communications? Why did it still hit the limit
down?”
Early that morning, he shifted all the blame for the bad things. the Yancey family did to Cecilia to

who had previously considered terminating their contracts.
However, with the stock prices hitting the limit down, they might reconsider terminating their contracts.
The assistant looked at the furious Jonathan and whispered, “Mr. Yancey, someone is selling Yancey
Corporation’s shares, causing the stock prices to plummet rapidly.”
“Spread the word. We’ll convene for a shareholder meeting in two hours!”
“Yes, Mr. Yancey.”
Cecilia was also on the invitation list as a major shareholder in Yancey Corporation, but she had no
intention of attending.
That was because she was the one who sold the shares of Yancey Corporation.
Selling first and then buying was easier and also allowed her to acquire more shares with the same
amount of money.
She muted her phone, focused on shopping at the mall, and picked out a birthday gift for Yvette.
At the jewelry store, she met Sophia.
When Sophia saw Cecilia, who had gone through a drastic change, she approached the latter with a
hint of resentment in

her eyes.
“What exactly do you want to stop?”
When she kicked Cecilia out of the house, she could not have imagined the country bumpkin she had
looked down upon would actually have the capability to put the Yancey family in such a predicament.
Sophia thought, “No! The man she ho**ed up with is the one who has the capability!”
Cecilia ignored Sophia’s words, pointed at the counter, and said to the clerk, “Wrap up this bracelet for
me.”
“Okay, Madam. Please wait a moment.”
Seeing herself being ignored, Sophia grabbed Cecilia’s arm and yelled, “I’m talking to you! Are you
deaf?”
Cecilia retracted her arm and looked coldly at Sophia.
“Mrs. Yancey, you’re a lady of class. Please don’t speak so loudly. Otherwise, others may mistake you
for a shrew. Besides, I’m not obligated to answer your questions.”
Sophia then realized that many people were watching her. She took a deep breath and immediately
transformed her demeanor into a dignified and elegant one.
She lowered her voice and asked, “Cecilia, are you intentionally trying to ruin the Yancey family?”
If you say so.”
Cecilia’s indifference made Sophia furious.
“How does this benefit you? Don’t forget that you also hold Yancey Corporation’s shares.”
Cecilia leaned against the glass counter and looked at Sophia, who was frustrated, with a smile.
“So what? I couldn’t care less!”
“Humph, if you don’t care, why would you want to take so
