Chapter 1146 Speaking without Thinking
Upon hearing this, Cecilia immediately held her breath and asked, "How did you know?"
Barry replied, "I pulled up the surveillance footage from the bridal shop you visited that day. The footage shows Arabella taking the creepy doll out of the trunk and putting it into the gift box. With this evidence, I reported it to the cop on behalf of the magazine. The cops have found the pair of crystal swans you bought that day in Arabella's storage room, so she can't deny it!"
Hearing this, Cecilia's face lit up with joy. "So, my name has been cleared?"
"Yes." Barry nodded.
Upon hearing this, Cecilia excitedly said, "Barry, thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to explain myself this time!"
"I didn't just do it to help you; I also did it to help my mother," Barry said with a shy smile.
Then Barry added, "Arabella has admitted that she was instructed by Calista, although Calista still denies it. However, the magazine has already suspended Calista, and Marcella is temporarily in charge of the team."
Hearing this, Cecilia frowned and said, "This Calista, I don't have much of a grudge against her, yet she took such a risk to frame me and got herself involved."
"Yeah, it's really not worth it. My mother asked me to come and tell you that she will explain everything to the Tate Family and the Fields Family in the next couple of days. This matter will finally have a perfect ending," Barry said with a smile.
"It's all thanks to you. I don't know how to thank you enough," Cecilia said sincerely, looking at Barry.
"If you keep thanking me, I'll be unhappy. By the way, my mother said that your job will be reinstated in a couple of days, and you'll be officially confirmed this time," Barry said with a smile.
Hearing this, Cecilia was overjoyed. "Really? That's great!"
"Yes." Barry nodded.
Then, Cecilia and Barry chatted for a while longer.
Barry looked at Cecilia and asked, "How have you been feeling lately?"
Hearing this, Cecilia knew he was referring to her baby and smiled. "Much better."
"That's good. Take care of yourself," Barry advised.
Then, Cecilia and Barry walked out of the café together.
At the café entrance, Cecilia thanked Barry again. Barry told Cecilia to take care of herself and then turned to leave.
As Cecilia watched Barry leave, Freya suddenly widened her eyes and said, "Mr. Fields?"
Hearing this, Cecilia turned around and saw Daryl standing behind her.
"He's already gone far, and you're still so reluctant to part?" Daryl's face was dark, and his tone was full of sarcasm.
Hearing this, Cecilia frowned. "Can you stop being so sarcastic?"
"I came specifically to pick you up, only to see you being all lovey-dovey with Barry. How do you expect me to stay calm?" Daryl was trying to control his emotions, given that they were on a public street.
"Even though I'm carrying your kid, I'm still a free person. Who I get close to has nothing to do with you. You better get that straight!" Daryl's words made Cecilia very upset, so she retorted.
Hearing this, Daryl's eyes darkened.
She had clearly angered him, but Daryl pursed his lips and looked away, obviously trying to control his emotions.
Finally, Daryl left in a huff. "You're right; I have no right to interfere with your freedom. But you better remember that you're carrying a baby now, and you need to be responsible for its safety. Messing around while pregnant can easily lead to a miscarriage!"
Watching Daryl's retreating figure, Cecilia was furious.
"Daryl, you bastard!" Cecilia cursed at Daryl's distant figure after a while.
Seeing Cecilia so angry, Freya quickly walked over to comfort her, "Ms. Thorne, please don't get upset. It's not good for your baby!"
At this point, Cecilia said, "Would I get angry over someone like him? He means nothing to me and can't affect my mood at all!"
"Yes, as long as you're not angry," Freya said, trying to appease Cecilia's agitated emotions.
At this moment, someone got out of an SUV parked by the roadside and walked straight to Cecilia.
It was then that Cecilia realized it was Douglas.
"Ms. Thorne, let me drive you home," Douglas said as he opened the back door of the SUV.
Cecilia looked suspiciously at the silver SUV and asked, "Is this your car?"
"No, this is Mr. Fields' new car," Douglas replied.
Hearing this, Cecilia frowned. She thought to herself, 'Daryl used to drive either a Mercedes or a Bentley, and they are all luxury models. Why does he switch to such an inconspicuous car now?'
"Well, this car is specifically for picking you up. Mr. Fields doesn't usually ride in it," Douglas said awkwardly, sensing the doubt in Cecilia's eyes.
Hearing this, Cecilia seemed to understand immediately.
She was now a mistress, so she couldn't be seen riding in Daryl's flashy cars, which might give people something to talk about and possibly alert Skylar.
At this point, Cecilia sneered, thinking Daryl had considered everything.
"Ms. Thorne, please get in the car," Douglas reminded, seeing Cecilia standing still.
The next moment, Cecilia coldly said, "Freya and I will go back on our own. You can leave."
"Ms. Thorne," Douglas wanted to say something more.
But Cecilia had already turned and walked away, with Freya quickly following behind.
After returning home, Cecilia didn't go out for several days and felt listless.
That morning, Cecilia received a call from Seraphine, saying that the Fields Family and the Tate Family were aware of the situation. However, Vogue Vista still had some responsibility and would hold Arabella and Calista legally accountable.
This was a great relief, and Cecilia finally cleared her name.
Seraphine invited Cecilia to continue working at Vogue Vista and offered her a permanent position, which Cecilia happily accepted.
That afternoon, Daryl suddenly came to the apartment building.
At that time, Cecilia was sleeping, but the conversation between Daryl and Freya outside woke her up.
The bedroom door was gently pushed open, and Cecilia, lying in bed, opened her eyes but didn't move.
