Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1496

For a moment, Sue couldn't bring herself to speak.

But Cecilia was now in her room, having faced yet another unfortunate event. Sue dared not think about how bad the situation had been.

All she knew was that her daughter was ruined—truly ruined this time.

Sue clenched her fists, looking at Noel. "It's simple. Do you still like Cecilia?"

Normally, the wealthy ladies would gather to play cards. Now, the young man's mother had brought him along.

It would be difficult to explain if Cecilia didn't come down to meet them. They might even come upstairs to check on her if she claimed Cecilia was ill.

And in Cecilia's current state, it wasn't appropriate for her to meet anyone.

However, Sue had already made an appointment, and the agreed-upon time was just a few minutes away.

If they found out about Cecilia's current situation...

Sue dared not think about it.

Originally, Cecilia's previous bout of madness had already been a touchy subject.

Now, with her current situation...
