Chapter 107

Christopher briefly explained to the police officers why he had captured Felix and what he had done to

Felix after that.

He handed over the USB drive containing the recording of the confession he had forced Felix to make

earlier to one of them. “Although it cannot be used as evidence, it can provide the police the direction of

investigation. I will also cooperate with the police to find Felix’s criminal evidence.”

The police officers did not expect many pending cases to relate to Felix.

After he put away the USB drive, he got up and said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Forte. We will do our best to

investigate these cases and make sure the bad guys are punished.”

Then, he took Felix away.

Christopher saw Cecilia lowering her head and wondered what she was thinking. “Ceci, what’s wrong?”

“I tried to test Felix just now. From his expression, he should have an unusual relationship with Juliana.

They are probably siblings.”

Christopher had already guessed that. “If they are really siblings, you and Juliana might not have been

accidentally exchanged but intentionally.”

“It must have been intentional. Otherwise, I should have been in the Quigley family instead of being

sold to human traffickers.” Cecilia’s unhappy childhood and empathy disorder, which was difficult to

cure, resulted from being resold by human traffickers to an assassin organization.

“Da*n it! The Quigley family is truly vicious!” she cursed

Christopher looked at Cecilia, who was furious, and held her hands. “Don’t worry, Ceci. I won’t let

anyone who hurt you off!” “Help me run a background check on the Quigley family. I’m going to visit

Kenton in the hospital.”

Since Kenton would rather die to protect Juliana, Cecilia wanted to see if he would still give up his life

for Juliana after he learned that the so-called life-saving favor was only a trick from Juliana. Christopher

was injured and couldn’t accompany Cecilia around, so he nodded in agreement.

“No problem. Bring some bodyguards along in case something happens.”

He was not afraid of Juliana. What he was worried about was that the mastermind three years ago

would make a move against Cecilia when the person discovered her identity.

Cecilia did not refuse and went to the hospital where Kenton stayed under the escort of the four

bodyguards earlier.

Kenton was gravely injured. With the addition of him having no desire to live, he was still in the

intensive care unit.

The Zabel family was a family of scholars. They immediately gave up on him after Kenton had become

a laughingstock.

Only his mother spent money to prolong his life and visited him occasionally.

When Cecilia arrived at the intensive care unit, she happened to meet Kenton’s mother, Lydia Zabel.

Although Lydia had more than one child, she highly valued Kenton, whose skills in oil painting were

comparable to that of a

master.

When she saw Cecilia, Lydia immediately wiped the tears from her eyes and was full of hostility.

again after you failed to do that?”

“You’ve misunderstood me. I’m here to tell Kenton the truth and make him live.”

Lydia did not believe a word of Cecilia.

“If it weren’t because of you, my son wouldn’t be embroiled in a scandal, end up here, and suffer a life

worse than death. I don’t need your kindness. Please leave!”

She wouldn’t have spoken so politely if it was not because the Zabel family couldn’t afford to offend

Christopher.

“I will leave, but not now. Please listen to this before I leave.”

After she said that, Cecilia played the intercepted recording directly.

“I also helped Juliana set up a fool. That person was Kenton, who almost died. I hired someone to

pretend to end his life. In the life-or-death situation, Juliana appeared like a savior and saved his life.

When setting you up in the karaoke lounge that night, Kenton was the one who did the most crucial

part to help Juliana, which was to sp*ke your drink. He succeeded, but you discovered it later. Hence,

he bore it all to protect his beloved Juliana.”

Lydia was dumbfounded when she heard that.

She knew Kenton was overly kind to Juliana and even fell in love with her.

For that reason, she had also reprimanded him.

After all, Juliana was engaged. The Zabel family was rigorous and never allowed anyone from the

family to destroy others’ marriages.

It turned out that everything was a scam.

Not only had Kenton given his sincerity by mistake, but he had

“Ms. Yancey, is the content of the recording you played just now true?”

Cecilia nodded at Lydia, who was furious. “The recording is real. It’s up to you to believe it or not.”

“I believe it! Could you send me the recording? I’m going to play it for my son. Let him wake up the

soonest and seek justice for him.”

“Of course, I can send it to you. Please let me know if Kenton wakes up.”

“No problem, Ms. Yancey. Thank you for telling me the truth.”

After she sent the recording to Lydia, Cecilia said, “You’re welcome. In truth, I’ve gotten my own

personal agenda for doing that, too.”

With that, she left the hospital.

One of the police officers called Bernard after they had taken Felix away.

“Mr. Quigley, we have found Felix. However, he was involved in several criminal cases. Please come to

the police station as soon as possible. Also, find a lawyer for him and go through relevant formalities.”

Bernard and his wife, Abigail Quigley, were already on the train to Quilton.

When he heard that, he immediately retorted, “No way!

Although my son is an as**ole, he will never do anything illegal. You guys must have made a mistake.”

“We will investigate it clea**y whether it’s a mistake.”

After the call ended, Bernard became even more panicked.

He was only an ordinary person. One who had no experience dealing with police like him had no idea

where to get a lawyer at

On the other hand, Abigail was much calmer and collected than him. She scolded angrily. “Why are you

panicking? We can get a lawyer as long as we have money.”

Back then, she was the one who had come up with the plan to swap Cecilia and Juliana.

She was much better than Bernard in terms of confidence.

Bernard was a henpecked husband. Even though he was having a panic attack, he dared not to show

it.

“Abigail, Felix was taken away by the police. Should we tell Julia about that?”

“Didn’t she tell you not to contact her? Don’t tell her until we get to know the situation at the police

station.”

“We have to tell her, anyway. She’s worried about Felix.”

Abigail thought for a while and nodded. “I’ll tell her then.” She did not dare to send a message on her

phone, so she randomly found an excuse and asked a passerby for help. The message wrote: [Ab**e:

We’ve found him.]

Although there were only a few words, Juliana immediately understood.

She did not expect that the police would find Felix so soon.

After all, if Christopher wanted to hide someone, it would be difficult for others to find the person even

after one month, let alone an hour.

The police could find Felix so quickly meant that Christopher had taken the initiative to hand Felix over.

Juliana wondered, “Why would Christopher hand Felix over to the police? Ahh! Felix must have told

them everything and was no longer valuable to them.”
