Chapter 45
Jackson and Juliana had a good relationship since childhood. Moreover, Juliana had a fiancé. Therefore, the Yancey family never gave their relationship much thought.
However, after hearing Gordon’s words, they realized the relationship between the two siblings was not simple.
Jackson made a scene tonight solely to help Juliana.
Only those blinded by love would be willing to ruin themselves for another person.
Sophia’s face darkened when she saw her son was silent.
“Jack, is what your dad said true?”
Jackson wanted to deny it.
But he knew there was no way to hide it from his family.
Thus, he finally chose to come clean. “Yes, I like Julia.”
Slap!
Furious, Sophia slapped Jackson in the face. “You’ve lost your mind. She’s your sister who grew up with you!”
Jackson’s face was still swollen, and this slap made his injury
worse.
He pressed the tip of his tongue against his numb left face and corrected, “We’re not blood relatives, and legally, we’re no longer family. It’s natural for feelings of romance to arise.”
After Jackson knew that Juliana was not his biological sister, he couldn’t conceal his feelings for her anymore.
Sophia was so angry that she almost passed out.
“Jack, you’d better put an end to those dirty thoughts. Even if Julia is not related to us by blood, she can only be your sister!”
With that, she looked at Gordon and said, “Gordon, book a

plane ticket now and send him abroad!”
She was scared she’d suffer a stroke if she heard what she didn’t want to hear again.
Gordon also thought it was ridiculous that Jackson liked
Juliana. He immediately answered, “Okay, I’ll book the earliest flight abroad now. To anywhere.”
As soon as Gordon finished his words, Jackson retorted, “I can’t leave now. There’s a week left until the professional racing competition. I have to participate in it.”
The most impressive record of the domestic motor racing industry was six consecutive championships.
He had already won five consecutive championships. If he won two more times, he would become the top racer in the motor racing industry.
This was his lifelong dream, and he wouldn’t give it up for anything.
Gordon knew that this was the opportunity for Jackson to turn the tables. After hesitating for a while, he agreed.
“When the competition is over, go abroad immediately. Come back only when the next season starts.”
That was what Jackson planned to do. He immediately nodded and said, “Okay, after daybreak, we’ll put all the blame on me.”
After saying that, he was about to go upstairs when Sophia stopped him.
“Jack, what does Julia think of you?”
If Juliana deliberately seduced her son, Sophia wouldn’t treat her as well as before.
“Mom, please don’t make things difficult for Julia. She always treats me as her brother and is unaware of my feelings for her.”
“In that case, you should give up on this relationship.”
“I will.”

Jackson agreed verbally but didn’t think that way in his heart.
After he went upstairs, Sophia asked her husband and son, “Do you guys think we can believe what William said in his livestream?”
Jonathan said firmly, “No! He must have been dissatisfied with the cancellation of the engagement and deliberately framed Julia or was threatened. Otherwise, why would he expose the Forte family?”
“That’s right. The livestream is weird, and we shouldn’t believe it. It’s late, so go to bed. There are still a lot of things to do tomorrow.”
The next day, Cecilia was woken up by her phone’s ringtone.
She took her phone from under the pillow in a daze and narrowed her eyes to look at the caller ID before clicking to answer it.
“Yvie, what’s the matter? Why are you calling this early?”
Yvette said angrily, “Something serious happened!”
“It seems that I have something to do with that.”
After saying that, Cecilia sat up and leaned against the headboard. She asked, “Go ahead. What is it?”
“Ceci, Juliana is freed from trouble again!”
“Who made that happen?”
“Jackson!”
Yvette thought that with all the unethical things Juliana had done, she would be destroyed under the public’s condemnation on the internet.
However, Jackson suddenly intervened and shifted all the conflict onto himself.
If it weren’t for some eagle-eyed netizens who didn’t believe him, Juliana would have gone from being the perpetrator to the victim.

Cecilia had long guessed that it was not so easy to destroy Juliana.
She expected Juliana would casually throw someone under the bus to take the blame, but she never expected it to be Jackson.
Jackson taking the blame was more convincing than any other people.
“Jackson.”
She slowly uttered his name with a hint of mockery.
“Since you insist on doing this, I’ll start with you.”
After Yvette heard that, she was excited. “Ceci, do you have a way to deal with that shameless couple?”
Cecilia was stunned for a moment and asked, “Shameless couple?”
“Yes! I’m sure Jackson likes Juliana. Otherwise, he won’t ruin his reputation and make her the victim.”
Then, she urged, “Ceci, watch the news, and you’ll know what happened.”
“Okay, it’s getting late. Go to class.”
“Well, I’m on my way to the classroom. Don’t forget about the birthday party the day after tomorrow.”
“Don’t worry. I won’t forget about it.”
After ending the call, Cecilia received a news link from Yvette.
After she clicked the link, she saw a video of a drunken Jackson in a nightclub.
Since he was drunk, his words were considered highly credible.
Combined with some of his covert operations, it didn’t take long for someone to uncover evidence of Juliana being threatened.
The malicious fake heiress quickly transformed into a pitiful

“I’ll see you then.”
After ending the call, Cecilia checked the news regarding William.
He had been taken to the police station.
As for what he exposed during his livestream, it would take time to verify that. There wouldn’t be a result in a short period. She thought about Christopher’s warning from last night and decided to investigate Juliana’s social circle to see if she could find the person who extorted money from her.
The fact that someone could extort money from the shrewd Juliana meant they likely had some leverage that mattered to her.
She thought, “What could it be?”
