Chapter 446 Lost His Dignity

“The truth was, back then, you deliberately led me toward Janice who happened to be passing by. But Janice simply ignored us and walked away. Yet, you told me we might have been recognized, that she might report us. I believed you and ran away desperately with you. But the reality was that you never intended to elope with me. You were too embarrassed to admit your retreat, and you wanted to pin the blame on someone else to stop yourself. You regretted your decision even before we set off. You staged your disappearance at home, hoping the nanny would notice. But when there was no news, you pulled this stunt when you saw Janice.” 

Cody’s pupils constricted, looking as if he was about to stop her. 

However, Cecilia didn’t give him a chance to respond. She continued, “From start to finish, I was the one who truly followed you. But all you cared about was holding on to your privileged lifestyle.” 

“No, that’s not it. It was Janice who wanted me. She deliberately stopped our elopement… It was her…” 

“What are you talking about? I didn’t even know you in high school!” Janice finally exclaimed in shock and 

anger. 

So, what Cody meant was that she was the one who started it all. 

Cecilia laughed, saying, “Janice, there’s no point in arguing. He’ll never admit to being such a despicable coward. One of the reasons he treated you so badly in college was to cover up his own disgrace. He pretended that you really did betray us and was keeping us apart. That’s why he was able to treat you so harshly without any guilt.” 

Janice began to tremble, not from the justifiable anger toward her mother and brother, but from the inexplicable malice that made her feel sick to her stomach. Was it just by sheer coincidence that she happened to pass by that she had to endure all this? 

It was all too revolting. 

Whispers began to circulate amongst the crowd, expressing their surprise that Cody was even less of a man than they had initially thought. They found his behavior utterly despicable. 

“No, what I’m saying is the truth.” Cody still refused to admit. “It’s not that I’ve let you down, but you’ve let me down, I-” 

Yet, Cecilia retorted, “Let me ask you, if you truly wanted to leave, couldn’t you have come to find me a few days later, or contacted me by phone? You seem to have assumed that everything about the future was decided on that day. You couldn’t have tried again since you’ve failed. Do you think I’m a fool? Your actions have clearly shown that you never intended to elope with me in the first place. So, what right do you have now to blame me for playing both sides?” 

At this point, Cody had completely lost all his strength, after all, his last shred of dignity had been stripped away. 

His despicable and ugly thoughts were completely exposed, leaving him with no confidence to argue or question anymore. 

“All I wanted was to live a luxurious life. I weaved between the two of you purposefully because neither of you could be trusted. I chose the most secure path, yet both of you were useless, nothing more than wastes of space!”

D*mn, she surprises me. I used to think Cecilia was just after stealing men, always scheming. But who would have thought… she’s not obsessed with love at all! This woman is ruthless; when she said she would expose everything, she really meant everything. She even dug deeper than I did! 

Upon hearing this heartfelt confession, the Quirk family, too, shared the same sentiment. They couldn’t shake off the feeling that she was now fearless, undeterred by heaven or earth. Indeed, it was those who had nothing to lose that were the most terrifying. 

Janice looked at Cody, her distaste for the man had grown to the point of numbness. She felt that even getting angry with him was a waste of energy. 

Seeing one after another being played by Cecilia like this, Janice felt that it was a form of retribution in its
