The True Lady Strikes Back novel (Cecilia and Christopher)

Chapter 16

Chapter 16 

Juliana looked at Cecilia, who was sitting on the couch calmly while drinking coffee, she asked, “Why are you here?” 

If it weren’t for the presence of others in the chancellor’s office, she would have made a scene. 

It was all because of this despicable woman, making everyone aware of William’s scandal. 

She had become a laughingstock in both the school and the upper class! 

Sophia looked at Cecilia with disgust and said contemptuously, “What else could it be? She must have violated the school rules again.” 

What kind of karma did she commit to have such a 

disappointing daughter? 

Cecilia calmly took a sip of coffee, not even sparing them a glance. 

Sophia was irritated and snorted unhappily. 

“Where’s Mr. Lane? He called us here, but why isn’t he here himself?” 

Lawrence felt so overwhelmed by Sophia’s aura that he dared not speak. He pointed at the lounge and whispered, “Mr. Lane is in there discussing something with my son.” 

Sophia glanced at Lawrence and couldn’t hide her contempt for his shabby appearance. 

“Julia, go knock on the door.” 

Juliana found Lawrence somewhat familiar, but couldn’t remember who he was at that instant. 

She responded and knocked on the door, saying, “Mr. Lane, are you in there?”

The soundproofing in the lounge wasn’t very good. So, Hendrix heard the conversation between Juliana and Cecilia. “Wait for me a minute. I’ll be right out.” 

After saying that, he looked at Joel seriously and said, “I’ll give you one last chance. If you choose to shoulder everything, you may not only be expelled but also go to jail!” 

Joel closed his eyes and said firmly, “Framing Cecilia was my doing alone and has nothing to do with anyone else.” 

Juliana was the light in his life, and he would never let an angel like her be tainted. 

“Since you’ve made up your mind, you’ll have to bear all the consequences, including your father’s disappointment.” Hendrix opened the door of the lounge and walked out first. When Juliana saw Joel, her eyes showed a moment of panic. But thinking of Joel’s deep affection for her, she soon calmed down. 

She pretended not to know anything, as if she didn’t recognize anyone, and asked, “Mr. Lane, did you ask me and my mom to come over because of the gossip on the campus forum?” 

Hearing this, Sophia said unhappily, “Mr. Lane, school is for learning, not for spreading gossip. Whatever happened between Julia and William is their private matter and shouldn’t be discussed and criticized by students. You need to manage this properly.” 

Cecilia lowered her eyes slightly, hiding the coldness in her 

eyes. 

What a double standard. When Cecilia was falsely accused, Sophia not only didn’t say a word in her defense but also verbally attacked her. 

Even when she tried to explain herself, she was regarded as a mistress.

Now that it was Juliana’s turn, Sophia was anxious to defend her, not wanting her to suffer any grievances. 

Hendrix’s expression was solemn. “Mrs. Yancey, we can discuss the gossip later. I called you here today for something else.” 

Sophia frowned, “What’s the matter?”
