Chapter 44
Juliana knew very well that Jackson could definitely understand the meaning of her words with his intelligence.
She cried but she could not help but feel smug inside.
“Jack, don’t do anything for me. Otherwise, you will be attacked by public opinion. You are my first crush and cannot be
smeared.
Hearing this, Jackson’s heart beat faster and his red and swollen face gradually became hot
“Julia, I will always be your moonlight and show you a flawless path. It’s late. You should rest early. When you wake up, the nightmare will end.
Then, he hung up the phone and asked his reprobate friends to go out for a drink.
A person will tell the truth after drinking, and some of the words were more likely to be believed by others when they were spoken out after someone got drunk.
Lately, the Yancey family has been caught in the storm of public opinion, so only a few people accepted Jackson’s invitation.
Jackson leaned lazily against the seating in his booth with a glass of wine in his hand. He was already drunk.
Looking at his swollen face and mouth, his reprobate friends showed shocked expressions.
“Mr. Yancey, you… What’s wrong with you?”
Jackson was very concerned about his image. He dressed up handsomely even at home, let alone when meeting friends outside.
If there was a wound on his face, he would never go out

Jackson drank the strong wine in his glass in one gulp and said angrily, “What nonsense are you talking about? Drink now!”
All the people who came here usually sponged off Jackson and flattered him.
Hearing this, they immediately said, “We were wrong and we came late so we will drink three glasses as punishment.”
Soon, they had drunk for three rounds.
Jackson was even more drunk. He lay on the couch and the glass in his hand fell to the ground.
When his reprobate friends went to pick up the glass, he pushed them away. “Get lost. Stop bothering me.”
Jackson’s voice was louder than the music in the nightclub. Many people looked over and recognized him.
“The Yancey family has been in the eye of the storm lately. How dare Mr. Yancey come out to drink? Isn’t he afraid of causing trouble?”
“Even if he gets into trouble, it won’t be a bigger deal than to make his biological younger sister a mobile blood bank.”
“Even wild beasts look after their young. Blood is thicker than water. What is the Yancey family thinking? They tortured their biological daughter.”
“What’s even more outrageous is that they take Cecilia’s blood for granted but don’t admit her identity to the public!”
Their voices were not low. Jackson could hear them even under the loud music.
Their words angered him. He raised his hand and swept the bottles on the table to the ground.
Then, Jackson stood up and pointed at the crowd.
“Shut up! Look what you are. How dare you talk about the Yancey family at will? Believe it or not, I’ll make you go bankrupt in a minute!”

Hearing this, his reprobate friends hurried to pull him.
“Mr. Yancey, you’re drunk. Let’s take you home.”
They still wanted to sponge off Jackson. They did not want him to make the crowd angry.
However, Jackson’s purpose was to cause trouble, so naturally, he would not leave.
He had practiced martial arts, so he easily pushed away the two men who pulled him and stared at them fiercely. “Don’t touch me. I’m not drunk!”
After saying that, he raised his chin and said arrogantly, “I just don’t like the country bumpkin Cecilia who always puts on an act. I am disgusted when I see her. I threatened Julia to pretend to be ill, deliberately took that bumpkin’s blood, and slandered her. I wanted to make it so that she couldn’t stand it anymore and voluntarily leave the Yancey residence! I didn’t expect the bumpkin to be so shameless and never leave…”
Before Jackson could finish his words, he was splashed with wine by the angry crowd.
“Jerk! Bas***d! Sc*m!”
The crowd was agitated, and Jackson became the target of public criticism. They not only scolded him but also splashed wine at him as if he were an atrocious bas**rd.
Seeing that his purpose had been achieved, there was a sign of relief in his lowered eyes.
Jackson thought, “Julia, you are the victim after tonight. I’ll bear all the scolding!”
At this time, Juliana had seen the video being posted on the internet.
When she saw Jackson jump into the trap she had set and take all the blame for her, a smile appeared on her face.
“Cecilia, there’s no way you can end me!” After saying that

angrily, Juliana posted a tweet on her official Twitter account. [I want to stay silent because I believe that the truth will prove my innocence, but I don’t want everyone to be misled by William, the man who cheated. When I went to the cafe that day, I only talked to him about canceling the engagement. However, I didn’t expect him to frame me for being interested in Mr. Christopher Forte. So far, I have never seen Mr. Christopher Forte. My impression of him is that he is old, ugly, and bald, as rumored. It is impossible for me to like him. So, please be rational. Don’t believe in hearsay easily and be used by shameless people!]
Juliana did not mention Jackson or provide any explanation. The more this happened, the easier it would be to believe that she was threatened to be ill by Jackson.
This was because Jackson was domineering and would end a person badly if he was disgusted with them.
For a moment, the public discussion took a completely different turn.
Although some perceptive people thought Jackson was helping Juliana out, they still scolded her badly.
However, some of them believed Jackson’s words. They began to feel sorry for Juliana and helped her.
Meanwhile, Jackson was soaked with alcohol and was sent back to the Yancey residence.
Gordon and Sophia were so angry at him.
“Jackson, what the hell are you doing? Why did you say that it was your idea to hide Julia’s illness?”
“Do you know your reputation will be destroyed with your words? Who else will dare to marry you in the future?”
Although Gordon and Sophia liked Juliana and forgave her even if she did something wrong, she was not their biological child after all. Compared with Jackson, they had to set Juliana
aside.
Jackson was good at drinking. He was just pretending to be
drunk.
After confirming that there were no outsiders in the living room, his confused eyes immediately returned to a clear and bright state.
“Dad, Mom, don’t be angry, I did this for a reason. As long as the people put all the blame on me, we can try to change the Yancey family’s reputation”
Anyway, Jackson was not a public figure and did not need to manage the company. It did not matter whether his reputation was bad or not
If Jackson could not stay in Quilton, then he would go abroad. After a year or two, he would return when everyone had forgotten about the matter.
Jonathan said in a deep voice, “Jackson, people are not idiots. How can they not see that you are deliberately taking the blame?”
He regretted it now.
Jonathan thought it was all Cecilia’s fault. She deliberately provoked him and made him reveal her identity.
If Cecilia’s identity was not publicly known, no one would find out the truth about bringing her back to the Yancey family!
Which meant only Cecilia could completely resolve the public opinion.
Thinking of this, Jonathan said, “Let’s discuss and think of a way from Cecilia
Jackson was furious when he heard Cecilia’s
name.
Jon, why don’t you remember? Cecilia only wants to destroy the Yancey family now. It is impossible to talk to her! Otherwise, she wouldn’t have deliberately gotten the

information from us and taken the recording, which is a disadvantage to us, when we begged her courteously!”
After saying that angrily, Jackson continued, “Anyway, I have destroyed my reputation for Julia. Taking the blame for coaxing Cecilia home and treating her as Julia’s mobile blood bank is nothing.”
Although it was immoral, Jackson did not have to go to prison. After all, Cecilia voluntarily transfused the blood.
Gordon felt that this was the only way now.
As a man, he sensed the difference in the way Jackson treated Juliana.
He asked in a deep voice, “Jackson, do you have any feelings for Julia?”
