The True Lady Strikes Back novel (Cecilia and Christopher) novel Chapter 177

Chapter 177 

It was easy for Christopher to dig up dirt on Jayden. 

After all, there weren’t many people in Quilton who wouldn’t dare help him. 

Jayden’s team at the studio, for one, caved in after a few casual threats. and sold him out completely. 

Cecilia had planned to look into Jayden’s scandals herself, so she was surprised that Christopher had already obtained the information for her. 

An email notification rang out from her phone, but she ignored it. 

Instead, she gazed at the man who was cold in front of others but always. warm and gentle to her. 

Rather than thanking Christopher with words, Cecilia took the initiative and kissed him. 

Having had several kissing experiences, there was no doubt she was getting better at it. 

After a while, Christopher took charge and kissed her back assertively. 

The driver in front of the couple had long gotten used to them showing their affection, so he merely raised the partition screen in silence. 

Just as the couple was locked in a deep, passionate kiss, one of their phones suddenly rang. 

Cecilia could tell it was Evan calling and immediately pushed. Christopher away. 

It wasn’t that she wanted to avoid suspicion, but she had forgotten to inform Evan about “John.” 

As soon as she picked up the phone, Cecilia began explaining the entire process of interrogating Blake in detail. 

Evan wasn’t expecting to receive such great news, so it was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise. 

“Got it. I’ll contact Aiden in a while and get him to find out who ‘John‘ might be.” 

After all, Aiden held a lot of power, so it’d save plenty of time and effort if they put him in charge of the cross–border investigation. 

“Christopher and I will look into it, too. We’ll contact Aiden if we have

any information,” Cecilia said. 

“Okay. By the way, are you guys still going to Acocester as planned?” “Yes. We’re taking the early flight the day after tomorrow.” 

“I’ll make all the arrangements. Don’t worry about it. I’ll see you guys at the Shaw residence, then.” 

After hanging up the phone, Evan wasted no time calling Aiden. 

At that moment, Aiden was in a meeting, so when he saw Evan’s incoming call, he quickly paused the discussion and stepped aside to answer his phone. 

“Let’s talk about this later if it isn’t important,” he uttered. 

Upon hearing that, Evan knew Aiden was busy. 

“Aiden, the police in Quilton have arrested several suspects and obtained useful information. I’ll collate everything and send it to you later. However, we’ll need you to help find out who John‘ is.” 

I’m in a meeting now. I’ll look into it later,” Aiden replied curtly. 

With that, he hung up the phone. 

Evan, who was about to mention Charlie, had no choice but to stop himself. 

He got up, walked to the south–facing windows, and gazed into the distance. 

Yowhayton was in that direction! 

As it turned out, Evan had decided that once Cecilia’s crisis was resolved. he’d apply to be transferred to the troops stationed in Yowhayton. 

He’d track down Charlie himself! 

Meanwhile, Cecilia had arrived at Emerald Mansion. 

“Rest early, Ceci. I’ll investigate John,” Christopher said as he removed his shoes. 

Alas, even though Cecilia had been busy all day, she realized she wasn’t remotely sleepy. 

I can’t sleep. Let me go through Jayden’s scandals and settle Fiona’s problem first 

With that said, the couple went to the study and began working on the respective tasks. 

Cecilia fished out her phone and clicked on the email sent by

Christopher. 

There wasn’t a lot of dirt on Jayden because he had a meteoric rise to fame when he debuted, and since his family was wealthy, the industry’s unwritten rules didn’t apply to him. 

He focused on his career and barely had any rumors except for starting a business with his on–screen love interest. 

However, Jayden did spend a lot on boosting trending topics and deliberately digging up dirt on his competitors. 

He had even caused various accidents to prevent his competitors from attending auditions, thereby letting him clinch his desired roles. 

As if that wasn’t bad enough, he was also incredibly disrespectful toward veteran actors who had lost their fame and appeal. 

Worst of all, he indiscriminately helped Juliana frame the actress, which led to the latter’s loss of reputation and eventual death. 

Upon seeing that, Cecilia gripped her phone so hard that the screen. began to crack. 

She knew Jayden wasn’t as innocent as he seemed, but she never expected that he’d be the indirect cause of someone’s death! 

Furthermore, the poor actress who took her own life had yet to have her name cleared and was still constantly chastised by the public. 

Cecilia was so angry that she immediately called Jayden. 

Jayden, who had paid the penalties for his contract, was in a good mood as he prepared to shower and sleep. 

Needless to say, he didn’t want to answer Cecilia’s call. 

As such, he ignored the ringing and headed straight into the bathroom. 

By the time he stepped back into his bedroom, it was already half an hour later. 

He had taken a much longer bath than usual because he was in such a good mood. 

After picking up the phone he had thrown on his bed, Jayden realized he had countless missed calls. 

Some of those numbers were familiar, while others weren’t, but he knew most were from reporters and media outlets. 

Realizing something was amiss, Jayden quickly looked through the phone records and dialed Cecilia’s number.

Unfortunately, Cecilia had blocked his number, so any contact between them would have to be initiated by her. 

Eventually, Jayden settled for a reporter he was familiar with and made the call. 

“Morgan, why are you calling me at this hour? What’s the matter?” 

“Something big has happened!” the reporter, Morgan Foley, exclaimed. 

Judging by his tone, it was clear he was bubbling with excitement. 

“Mr. Yancey, how about I pay 2 million dollars for an exclusive interview with you? This is the last time you can make such good money, so don’t miss the opportunity.” 

Naturally, Jayden was confused. “What do you mean by that?” 

“Oh, you’ve yet to know what’s happened, huh? Please check Cecilia’s official Twitter account first, Mr. Yancey. You can call me back later.” 

As soon as the call ended, Jayden looked up Cecilia’s official Twitter 

account. 

Alas, he realized he couldn’t view the posts! 

Undeterred, he logged off his account and returned to her page as a
