When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1056 Incredibly Arrogant

Vivian nodded. “Yes. They were incredibly arrogant. Even thinking about it now makes me furious.”

Cecilia picked up her phone, dialed a number, and the nearby bodyguard answered.

Vivian heard Cecilia instructing the bodyguard over the phone, demanding that they isolate those individuals and give them a thorough beating.

“What are you doing?” Vivian hadn’t quite understood yet.

It wasn’t until the driver started the vehicle and took them to a secluded spot that Vivian noticed that the people who shoved her earlier were all cornered and getting a severe beating.

Vivian was shocked. “Ceci, this…”

“I’m fine if they bully me, but I can’t stand them messing with you,” stated Cecilia.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Moved, Vivian embraced Cecilia tightly. “Ceci, you’re so wonderful. You’re my true love.”

Cecilia smiled. “Dummy, you’re my best friend. You’ve always had my back. Of course, I’m going to have yours, too.”

She was no longer the penniless Cecilia of the past. At the present time, she had money, and so dealing with those despicable people was a simple task.

Vivian nodded repeatedly, “Yes. Our love is mutual.”

“All right, let’s go,” said Cecilia.

After venting that frustration, Cecilia and Vivian finally returned to the Smith residence.

After Jonathan and Elliot returned, they found it odd that they hadn’t encountered Cecilia and Vivian yet.

Elliot was worried. “Did Nicholas tattle to Mommy and the others?”

Jonathan was also unsure. “I don’t think so. He promised us. He wouldn’t go back on his word.”

“Don’t be so sure,” Elliot said, fear welling in his heart. “What if he’s a schemer, using us to earn favor with our mommy?”

Previously, when he had sneaked out and was later discovered by Cecilia, Cecilia was furious

Ever since that incident, he was particularly fearful whenever Cecilia got angry.

On the surface, Jonathan appeared calm, but internally he was quite scared.

Both children were quite flustered, fearing that Cecilia would discover they had secretly attended the funeral.

Finally, they heard a conversation between Cecilia and Vivian from the doorway.

“They’re back.” Immediately, Elliot stood up, appearing ready to be disciplined.

“Yeah. I’m back.” Cecilia thought it was odd her children were standing straight Are you two hungry?”

Elliot and Jonathan both shook their heads. “No.”

“Why are you two standing here like you’re being punished? Have you two been up to some mischief?” Vivian asked casually.

The two children shivered slightly.

Jonathan furrowed his brow. Are we really discovered? “Ms. Kennedy, don’t talk nonsense.”

Vivian stepped forward, pinched his little face, and said. “I was just joking around. Why so serious?”

Upon realizing they hadn’t been discovered, Jonathan and Elliot were relieved.

Only then did they return to their own room.

Vivian sat on the couch. “They seemed a bit odd today

“Maybe that’s just how kids are.” Cecilia didn’t give it much thought, taking a seat beside her.

Vivian pulled out her phone. “Cassandra’s matter should be trending, right? There’s no way it won’t when she refused to acknowledge her biological mother and only ever talked about her stepmother.”

She searched the internet and discovered no news regarding that matter. “How could there be nothing at all?”

Cecilia had expected that “Queenie and the Evans family would never let any negative news about Cassandra leak out

Apart from the previous incident where Cassandra accused Cecilia of plagiarizing Cecille’s work, she had suffered almost no negative public opinion. That was all thanks to the Jamieson family.

Cecilia still remembered how news of Cassandra’s accusation being exposed had become almost non- existent.

That demonstrated the formidable influence of the Jamieson family.
