Chapter 135 

When news of the Yancey family’s plan to sell their property spread, Cecilia obtained the questioning records from the police. 

Those witnesses who might have seen the person were almost all family members of patients. They hurried along, paying little attention to their surroundings. 

After the clues were put together, the person was identified. Moreover, based on the descriptions provided by several individuals, the police had made a composite drawing. 

It was a man who wore sunglasses and a mask, dressed in a short sports suit with short hair. 

He left through the staff passage near the hospital cafeteria. There were surveillance cameras along the passage, but they were temporarily malfunctioning and showed no footage. 

Cecilia knew who was behind this. 

But now, with the composite drawing and information on when and where he left, the investigation was much easier. She scanned the composite drawing on her phone and sent it to Christopher, along with clues. 

“Chris, you and Mr. Quinn check him quickly. I’ll go to the Yates residence.” 

With Yvette’s safety at stake, it was necessary to go there in 

person. 

Christopher nodded. “Be careful.” 

He arranged for over a dozen bodyguards to escort Cecilia to the Yates residence. 

When Cecilia was on her way, she received a call from Yvette. 

“Ceci, I’ve gone home safely.”

“Okay, I’ll be at your place in about ten minutes. I’ll explain everything in detail then.” 

“Sure. I’ll wait for you.” 

When Cecilia arrived at the Yates residence, Yvette’s parents were there. 

Yvette’s older sister, Fiona, had just come back after running news from other places. 

The members of the Yates family were very welcoming and warm toward Cecilia because she saved Yvette. 

Moreover, they had heard from Calvin that Yvette might be in danger. 

Fiona was very interested in this news. 

As soon as Cecilia sat down, she couldn’t wait and asked, “Ms. Yancey, who exactly did you offend? Why did that person ruthlessly kill Juliana?” 

With her extensive network and keen awareness, she learned about the details of Juliana’s murder. 

However, after much thought, she couldn’t figure out the 

motive behind Cecilia’s enemies killing Juliana. 

There were some words and matters that Cecilia found inconvenient to say. 

“The person came to Juliana to ask about me. After asking, he felt that she was worthless and then killed her. I can’t tell you why I messed with such a person. Please forgive me.” 

After speaking, Cecilia looked at Yvette with a serious and 

earnest tone. 

“Yvie, you are my friend and also my weakness. You’d better not go out before I leave Quilton.” 

She knew it was too much to request, but she couldn’t think of a safer way. 

Of course, she could have left Quilton earlier and taken the,

danger away. 

However, Christopher hadn’t healed yet. She couldn’t leave for 

now, 

Yvette knew what Cecilia’s capabilities were. Seeing her worried so much, she knew that the murderer was terrible. “Ceci, can you handle such a dangerous person?” she asked. “I can handle it, but I’m worried he might take you hostage and harm you. So, until we find that person, please be extra careful. If you need to go out, make sure to bring more bodyguards.” Yvette nodded and asked confusedly, “Ceci, Quilton is 

Christopher’s territory. It’s safer for you to stay here. Why do you want to leave?” 

Cecilia didn’t want Yvette to worry, so she didn’t mention the plan to lure that person out. 

She replied, “I have something important to do, and Christopher will be with me. Don’t worry about me.” 

Hearing this, Yvette immediately stopped worrying. 

“With Christopher around, you’ll be fine. I won’t let myself become a burden to you.” 

“You’re not a burden. On the contrary, I dragged you down and put you in danger. But believe me, it will be over soon.” 

Cecilia didn’t want to make friends before and was indifferent to everyone. Aside from her personality, it was also because she didn’t want to involve others. 

However, she didn’t expect that just saving Yvette would lead to her having a friend who admired her like a devoted fan. 

“Ceci, I believe you!” 

As everything was settled, Cecilia stood up to leave. 

Selene said, “Ms. Yancey, why not stay and have lunch before leaving?”

Just as Cecilia was about to decline firmly, Fiona spoke up. “Ms. Yancey, there’s no time like the present. Let me interview you today. It happens that the Yancey family is selling its property, and it could be big news.” 

Hearing this, Cecilia stayed. 

Fiona took her to the study and did a detailed interview. 

After the interview, she said bluntly, “Ms. Yancey, I’ve investigated you. Is your background information fake?” 

After asking, she hastily added, “I’m straightforward and mean no offense. You don’t have to answer if you mind.” 

Cecilia didn’t expect Fiona to be very insightful and keen on observing things. 

When facing smart people, denial would be deemed inferior. However, she also didn’t directly admit it. 

“Ms. Yates, it’s not good for you to know too much.” 

Fiona had been running news outside for many years. She knew that some things shouldn’t be probed too deeply. 

“Ms. Yancey, I understand.” 

Cecilia apologized, “I’m sorry for bringing danger to Yvette, but I will solve this matter as soon as possible.” 

“You don’t need to apologize. If it weren’t for you saving Yvie, she would have been gone a long time ago. Her life now is like a gift, and even if one day it’s taken back, we won’t blame you.” 

They would just be heartbreaking and feel regretful, but that 

was it. 

Cecilia didn’t expect members of the Yates family to have such an attitude toward Yvette’s safety, and for a moment, she didn’t know what to say. 

However, Fiona smiled and changed the topic. 

“I’ll finish the news as soon as possible, which will give a blow
