The True Lady Strikes Back novel (Cecilia and Christopher)

Chapter 2

Chapter 2 

At the Yancey residence, Cecilia had already packed away her personal belongings. 

She didn’t take anything that the Yancey family bought for her. 

Even the clothes she wore were the same ones she had on 

when she arrived three years ago. 

Cecilia glanced at the room she had stayed in for three years, slung the bag over her uninjured left shoulder, and turned to leave without hesitation. 

Just as she exited the room, the butler stopped her. 

“Ms. Cecilia Yancey, Mr. Yancey said you cannot leave until he returns.” 

As the butler had received plenty of favors from Juliana and was on Juliana’s side, he frequently made things difficult for Cecilia, twisting her words and looking down on her. 

Cecilia had already tolerated his behavior for a long time. At present, she obviously wasn’t going to stand for it anymore, which was why she raised a leg and kicked him in the knee. 

With a muffled thud, the butler fell heavily to the floor. 

He clutched his almost shattered kneecap and howled in pain. Those who didn’t know might even assume he was wailing over someone’s passing if they heard him. 

The housekeepers didn’t dare to step forward, and all of them looked at Cecilia fearfully as if unable to recognize her. Even their attitude toward her unconsciously became respectful as well. 

Cecilia ignored the housekeepers and looked at the butler, who was still howling in pain. She dug her ear impatiently and stated coldly, “How noisy.” 

Immediately after saying that, she reached out and fractured

his jaw. 

The intense pain nearly made the butler faint. He writhed on the floor, suddenly not knowing whether to cover his mouth or clutch his knee. 

After dealing with the butler, Cecilia didn’t leave and instead sat down on the couch. 

She did so not because she was frightened by the butler’s words, nor was it because she had lingering feelings for the Yancey family. Her main reason was that she was still officially recognized as a member of the Yancey family. 

Half an hour later, apart from Sophia, who stayed in the hospital to look after Juliana, the other five male members of the Yancey family returned home. 

It seemed they intended to drag Cecilia to the hospital even if she refused to go. 

Meanwhile, the butler, who had been rolling on the ground, behaved as though he had seen his savior and instantly crawled to them in a bizarre posture. 

His clothes had been soaked with sweat, leaving a long trail of moisture on the floor. 

Gordon looked at the butler, who was drooling as his jaw had been dislocated, and asked in disgust, “How did this happen?” 

The butler pointed at Cecilia, his eyes filled with hatred. 

Cecilia looked over and raised an eyebrow. “What? Can’t I even deal with a servant?” 

Jonathan immediately responded, “Of course you can.” 

With that, he instructed a housekeeper to take the butler away. 

After all, if they wanted Cecilia to donate her blood willingly, they had to cater to her a little. 

Right then, the five men and Cecilia were the only people left in the living room.

Cecilia stood up and said, “Let’s go to to the newspaper to cut off our relationship publicly.” 

Gordon noticed she was only carrying one bag and reckoned she was merely putting on a show, for he didn’t believe that she would leave with so few possessions. 

“Ceci, you need to control your temper. We do treat Julia better because of her poor health. We didn’t come to rescue you today because we know you’re capable and won’t get into trouble.” 

Today was Quilton University’s school anniversary celebration. As Juliana had a piano recital, all members of the Yancey family attended it. 

However, an accident occurred when a light near the rear of the auditorium’s ceiling fell without warning. 

At once, the six members of the Yancey family, who sat in the front row, rushed to the stage to protect Juliana, even though she wasn’t in any danger.
