Chapter 152
After getting in the car, Cecilia asked Christopher, “How is Fiona?”
She had only received the news that Fiona was saved, but she didn’t know the specific situation.
Christopher, on the other hand, had received the specific information, but he had been too busy defusing the bomb to read it.
He took out his phone, unlocked it, and handed it to Cecilia. “I haven’t looked at it yet. Check it for yourself.”
Cecilia took the phone and tapped on the unread message. Her face turned gloomy when she saw Fiona’s condition.
Although she had expected it, it was still difficult for her to accept when it actually happened.
“Fiona is hurt so badly that I don’t know if she’ll be able to recover.”
Christopher looked at Cecilia who was depressed and held her hand.
“Fiona is not an ordinary person. She’ll be fine. Don’t blame yourself too much.”
Cecilia pursed her lips and said in a dull tone, “She suffered because of me.”
“Ceci, it’s not your fault. You reminded the Yates family, but they didn’t take it seriously. That’s why this happened. It was the mastermind who hurt Fiona. If you want to make it up to her, find and eliminate the mastermind!”
The guilt on Cecilia’s face was replaced by murderous intent when she heard that.
She returned the phone to Christopher and said, “I hope we

can find something useful.”
Christopher took the phone and nodded affirmatively. “We will.”
Then he asked, “Ceci, why does the mastermind want to see you? What did he say to you?”
Cecilia recalled the meeting with Jason.
They didn’t have any meaningful conversation, but she distinctly remembered two sentences.
However, there were some things that couldn’t be said in front of an outsider, even if he was a driver Christopher trusted.
“Let’s have a good chat after we meet those two.”
Christopher didn’t ask further. He nodded and then talked about the Yancey family.
“Ceci, Jackson was arrested by the police and sentenced to one and a half years.”
Cecilia was thinking about Jason’s words when she heard him and asked, “Why did he get arrested?”
She thought it had ended with Jackson driving the bus, but she didn’t expect that there would be a follow–up.
“It was Juliana who provided the police with some evidence that Jackson tried to win the race and attacked you, but the evidence is not very sufficient. The maximum sentence is one year.”
Cecilia was not surprised that Juliana would backstab Jackson because she was an extreme egoist.
For those who were useful to her, she would spoil them, but for those who were useless to her, she would abandon and betray them.
If she hadn’t died suddenly, perhaps the Yancey family would have suffered.
However, the Yancey family deserved it because the evidence

was not fabricated.
She didn’t have any mood swings because Jackson was going to jail. Instead, she asked about the situation in Yancey
Corporation.
“Did Jonathan do anything after he was assigned to clean the toilet?”
After Cecilia handed over the company to Christopher’s management team, she did not get involved with anything
anymore.
However, she could guess that they would report to
Christopher about the situation in Chrystilia Corporation every day.
Indeed, Christopher did know about the situation in Chrystilia Corporation.
He was not coveting Chrystilia Corporation but worried that someone would cause trouble while the company was in turmoil.
He shook his head and sneered.
“Jonathan vents his frustrations on the toilet daily, resulting in several broken brushes. However, rest assured that the cost of the damaged company property will be deducted from his paycheck.”
No one cared about the money, but it was an insult to Jonathan.
Cecilia could imagine Jonathan’s angry but helpless look.
She smiled. “A year is enough for him to become a qualified toilet cleaner.”
Christopher thought a month was enough instead of a year.
The more conceited individuals are, the more likely they are to be brought down to earth by reality.
He leaned his elbow against the window, held his forehead with his hand, and tilted his head to look at Cecilia.

“Ceci, is this the end of your revenge against the Yancey family?”
He did not have enough.
However, it was Cecilia’s personal matter, and he respected her choice.
Cecilia imitated Christopher and put her left hand on her forehead and met his eyes.
“Of course not. I want the Yancey family to go bankrupt and lose everything!”
It would be the right thing to do for all the hurt she had suffered over the years.
She thought, “The Yancey family has done so many wrong things. It’s too easy on them if they attempt to erase the past through repentance. Jonathan and Jackson are finished. Jeremiah and Jayden are next.”
Christopher asked with great interest, “Ceci, what are you going to do next?”
He thought Cecilia would swing, but fortunately, she wasn’t.
Cecilia smiled maliciously. “I’ll kill them while they are ill, of course. I want Jeremiah and Jayden to plummet from the heavens into a mire of difficulties.”
Given how messy the entertainment industry was, she
reckoned that these two people were definitely not as innocent. As long as she found dirt on them, it would be all over for them.
Christopher raised his hand and brushed Cecilia’s hair behind her ear.
“Thanks to your 1 billion dollars, Jeremiah and Jayden were able to settle the breach of contract. Their once shaky careers. are now on a more stable footing.”
The management that had been arguing for compensation for

the termination of the contract had also gone quiet.
Cecilia hadn’t expected this.
“Let them be happy for a few days, and then we’ll make a move on them after I’m done with the mastermind’s matters.”
Christopher gave Cecilia an idea.
They chatted and arrived at Skyhaven Club.
When Cecilia got out of the car, she noticed that an injury to Christopher’s arm was significantly hindering his agility.
She had forgotten about that and had even asked him to defuse the bomb.
“Christopher, wait a minute.”
Christopher’s hand was already on the door lock. Hearing that, he withdrew his hand.
He looked at Cecilia’s sullen face and asked softly, “Ceci, what are you…”
Before he could finish his words, Cecilia threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly.
