Chapter 87
Juliana vaguely heard Jackson’s voice earlier and was about to check it out.
However, Juliana saw Cecilia and Christopher coming in the door as soon as she got out of bed.
Instinctively, Juliana took a step back and looked at them vigilantly.
“What are you two doing here?”
“Did Jackson betray me to protect himself?” Juliana wondered.
Looking at the cautious Juliana, Cecilia smirked and said, “We’re here to mess with you, of course.”
Hearing that, Juliana immediately rang the call bell at the headboard.
Yet, it was unresponsive no matter how Juliana pressed it.
At that moment, Juliana was beginning to panic. She even started sweating from her forehead.
“Cecilia, this is a hospital. There are surveillance cameras. everywhere. You will be legally liable if you
dare to do anything. to me.”
Cecilia let go of Christopher and walked toward Juliana with an intimidating presence, one step at a
time.
Cecilia walked slowly, but Juliana felt as though the former was stepping on her heart. Thus, Juliana
was anxious and terrified.
Thinking of how strong Cecilia was, Juliana slowly moved backward until her back was pressed against
the bedside table, and she couldn’t move any further.
Juliana’s finger accidentally touched the glass on the bedside table, and she immediately held it tightly
in her hands as a weapon to fight back.

“No. Don’t come over!”
Cecilia sn***hed the glass effortlessly from Juliana and smashed it beside the latter’s feet.
The glass shards sca****ed. Several of them hit Juliana’s calf, and she shrieked in shock.
“Ah! Help!”
“Scream all you want. No want will come and save you today.”
Juliana wanted to run away, but Cecilia tripped her. Thus, Juliana fell directly on the broken glass.
Instantly, many red spots bloomed on the blue-and-white hospital gown.
At that moment, Christopher stepped forward and stopped Cecilia.
“Ceci, let me handle such filthy matters.”
With that, Christopher stepped on Juliana’s shoulder, who was trying to get up.
The sound of the glass piercing her skin came along with Juliana’s painful cry.
“Does it hurt?”
Juliana’s face turned pale and her body trembled with pain. Juliana quickly nodded and looked at
Christopher pleadingly. She choked and said, “Mr. Christopher Forte, it hurts.”
Juliana’s delicate look was pitiful, and one’s heart would soften at her like that.
However, Juliana was nothing but a pretentious witch in Christopher’s eyes.
Christopher’s dark eyes were full of disgust, and his body emitted an intense murderous aura.
“I don’t think it hurts enough. It is nothing compared to being hit by a car and stabbed by a knife.”
The True Lady Strikes Back
As Christopher said that, he increased the force on his feet.
Juliana had been spoiled since she was a child. She had never suffered like that. Thus, she screamed
continuously and cried so hard that she was out of breath.
“I didn’t do it. It was Jackson. You guys are getting back at the wrong person.”
Christopher sneered, “Really? I’ll ask him over and confront him now.”
Hearing that, Juliana got anxious.
“He will definitely not admit it, but he really did it because he didn’t want to lose the game. He even…”
Juliana deliberately stopped in the middle of her sentences to keep her last bargaining chip.
“Let me go first. I have evidence of his crime.”
Now that Jackson was useless to Juliana, she figured it would not matter if they had a fallout.
Even so, Christopher didn’t raise his leg because he never negotiated with his enemy.
“It’s you if I said it’s you. I don’t accept rebuttals.”
Meanwhile, Cecilia was worried that Christopher placed too much force on his leg that he might pull the
wound on his other leg.
“Chris, take a break. Let me do it,” said Cecilia.
Juliana almost coughed up blood when she heard Cecilia’s words.
“Taking turns to torture me? Are they planning on killing me?” thought Cecilia.
However, the next round of torture didn’t happen.
Surprised, a picture came into her view when Juliana looked at Cecilia.
The True Larty Strike Bark
The familiar figure appeared so suddenly that Cecilia did not manage to react. A trace of panic flashed
across her eyes.
Cecilia clearly caught Juliana’s expression and put away her phone with satisfaction.
“It seems that this man is very special to you. Who is he? Juliana hurriedly dismissed the relationship
as she answered, I don’t know him. I think he’s a superfan
“That idiot, Felix. He’s getting me killed!” thought Juliana.
Of course, Cecilia didn’t believe Juliana’s words. After Cecilia put away her phone, she said, “Make a
guess. Will he also say he doesn’t know you when I dig him out?”
With that, Cecilia stared at Juliana and watched the latter panic again.
After enjoying that, Cecilia dropped another bombshell.
“By the way, I told Joel how you manipulated him. He has filed an appeal and is going to change his
confession. Also, Jackson has seen the blond-haired man’s face and has already gone for a composite
drawing. It’s a walk in the park to find him. After finishing her sentence, Cecilia “accidentally stepped on
Juliana’s wrist and left with Christopher.
Juliana watched as the scabbed wound on her wrist opened up again. She was devastated as the
blood gushed.
After she was certain they were gone, Juliana shouted, “Someone, help!”
This time, the medical staff came quickly.
However, as though they had a tacit understanding, everyone only helped Juliana with her injury
without a word,
Juliana knew that Christopher had already arranged everything. Thus, she could only keep quiet after
being wronged and didn’t say anything.
However, Juliana was planning how to make Felix disappear
and shut joel up in her mind.
Juliana could not let the great life she had stolen be ruined like

Thus, Cecilia carefully climbed into bed.
However, Christopher pulled Cecilia into his arms as soon as she lay down.
Before Cecilia could struggle, Christopher said, “Stay still if you don’t want my wound to burst again.”
The threat worked, and Cecilia nestled obediently in Christopher’s arms as her heart raced.
Christopher gently rubbed Cecilia’s head with his chin and asked, “Why did you let Juliana go so
easily?”
Christopher had arranged everything so that it would look like an accident even if Juliana was killed.
Surrounded by Christopher’s warmth, Cecilia listened to his heartbeat and said slowly, “Because I don’t
want your hands to be stained with blood for some unworthy person.”
Cecilia and Christopher were both from the Peacekeeping Forces. Thus, they had a clear sense of
boundaries with the law. They could step on the line but never cross it.
Moreover, there were many ways to deal with Juliana, so there was no need to do it with violence.
Christopher kissed Cecilia’s pinkish earlobe.
“Ceci, don’t worry too much in the future. As long as I’m here, I will protect you even if you turn the
world upside down.”
