The True Lady Strikes Back novel (Cecilia and Christopher) novel Chapter 116

Chapter 116 

Bernard couldn’t see the laptop screen, but the journalists‘ hungry eyes aroused his curiosity. 

He looked down, but there was a lot of glare on the screen. Therefore, he couldn’t see anything. 

Those journalists were also curious and full of doubts. 

Before they could ask questions, Cecilia shushed them by putting her index finger on her lips. 

The journalists were smart enough to realize that Juliana had no idea she was livestreaming. 

They were waiting excitedly for Cecilia’s next move. 

Without keeping the journalists waiting for long, Cecilia shifted her gaze to Bernard, who was craning his neck in an attempt to look at the screen. 

“Mr. Quigley, tell everyone what is your relationship with Juliana and how you swapped my identity with Juliana’s back then.” 

Her cold voice showed that she wouldn’t take no for an answer. 

She was still on the phone with Juliana. 

After hearing this, Juliana stopped turning off her phone and yelled into it, “Felix, don’t talk nonsense!” 

She thought Cecilia was forcing Felix to tell the police the truth at the police station. 

Hearing Juliana’s angry voice, Cecilia was in a better mood. “You know if he’s telling the truth or not.” 

After saying that, she looked at Bernard, who was taken aback. 

“Mr. Quigley, speak!” 

Cecilia’s cold and deep voice was stressing Bernard out. His.

down his temples. 

How could Cecilia have known about him swapping her identity with Juliana’s? 

He’d never had independent opinions before, and he didn’t know what to do for a moment. He was so desperate that he wanted to call Abigail for help. 

But he was holding the laptop with both hands now and couldn’t reach for his phone. 

Under the journalists‘ intense gaze, he hurriedly bowed his head and looked away. 

“I–I don’t know what you’re talking—” 

Before he could finish his sentence, Cecilia interrupted him, “Would you like to protect your son or your daughter? You have only one chance.” 

Bernard’s words died in his throat. 

Cecilia’s patience was wearing thin. She started to count numbers backward. “Three…” 

Bernard made a choice instantly. 

“Juliana is my biological daughter. Back then, my wife worked as a maid in the Yancey residence and…” 

In order to save his son, Bernard revealed how he had swapped Juliana and Cecilia’s identities at the time. 

When Juliana heard it, she screamed into the phone crazily, trying to prevent Bernard from speaking any more. 

However, Bernard ignored her even if she was hoarse from shouting and couldn’t make a sound. 

She should have known that if her father had to choose between Felix and her, he would desert her. 

Thinking of this, Juliana smashed her phone angrily. 

If she stopped listening to Bernard, she could pretend her

birth was not exposed. 

Unfortunately, her phone still worked even if the screen was broken. Bernard’s voice still came from the other end of the line. 

She smashed all the things she could smash in the room, eyes full of resentment.

The livestream of more than a dozen media spread Juliana’s insane behavior all over social media. 

She had won public sympathy because of her kidnapping and raped video. 

But her current behavior completely destroyed it. 

[Am I correct? Is Juliana the woman who seems to have rabies?] 

[It’s her! I’m a huge fan of hers. Her face is not easily forgotten!] 

[I’m going to unfollow her. She is not the kind girl I used to fancy anymore. She’s a viper!] 

[Tell me that the video is fake. I can’t believe this is my dream girl’s true color.] 

[How could it be fake? It’s a livestream. Don’t you see that Juliana’s actions were inconsistent with Bernard’s words?] 

[I can’t believe it happened in reality. Cecilia is so miserable! I feel sorry for her!] 

[Me too!] 

After Bernard finished speaking, the attitude towards Juliana on the Internet completely reversed. 

How much they hated Cecilia before and how much they hate Juliana now. 

Because no one liked to be used by others. 

Netizens kept sending DMs to Juliana’s official Twitter account, scolding her harshly.

The prompt tone of the DMs kept ringing, and Juliana finally realized something was wrong. 

She immediately picked up the phone from under the pillow and opened her DMs. 

She received more than 99 messages. 

The message boxes continued popping on the screen, dazzling her. 

She clicked on them. 

They were filled with scolding words and even screenshots of her crazy look. 

Seeing the screenshot, Juliana was dumbfounded. 

Because even she almost failed to recognize that the crazy woman in the screenshot was her. 

She didn’t dare to look at them and smashed her phone on the floor again. 

Then she went to look for the camera that was monitoring her. 

The camera was extremely hidden, but the filming angle of the video made it easy to find. 

Juliana glared at the tiny camera, threw it on the ground, and stomped it hard. 

She forgot that she hadn’t worn a pair of shoes. 

She felt a sharp pain in her feet. In addition to her shaky legs, she fell to the floor the next second. 

At the same time, Cecilia’s voice came from the other end of the line again. 

Because Juliana smashed her phone twice, the receiver went wrong, and Cecilia’s voice broke. 

“Juliana, this is just the beginning. Your true color will be gradually revealed, as will what you did!” 

After saying that to Juliana, Cecilia turned to the excited and

gossipy journalists. 

“Thanks for coming over today. I have big news to tell you!” “What news?” those journalists asked in unison. The voice was so loud that it was audible from a distance. 

“Juliana faked her own kidnapping. It won’t take long for the police to release evidence. Please wait and see. Today’s press conference is over now.”
