Chapter 195 Incident (6) The 10 Minutes We Fought For
"I've never been as powerful as you all think. I'm just an ordinary person who fears death," Cecilia admitted to Rebecca. "For someone like me, it's not worth your effort."
"Whether it's worth it or not is my call," Rebecca sneered. "But proving you're lying isn't hard. Even if we stay here all night, Alaric won't come to save you."
"Why do you want to kill me, Rebecca?" Cecilia suddenly asked.
That question caught Rebecca off guard.
'What's it all about? Jealousy? Resentment?' she thought.
Rebecca clenched her teeth.
She had to admit, it was because Cecilia was smarter and more capable than her.
She couldn't stand any woman being better than her.
Especially since Cecilia was with Alaric.
Cecilia saw Rebecca's expression and confirmed her thoughts, "First, I married Alaric, and you can't accept him marrying someone else. Second, in our recent clash, you lost. Third, you think I'm better than you, and your pride can't handle it."
"Now that you know, just die!" Rebecca's face twisted with malice.
"But none of your reasons hold up," Cecilia said. "First, my marriage to Alaric is fake. Check it, and you'll see I'm telling the truth. Second, I admit I ruined your reputation, and you hold a grudge. But now, I'm offering my virginity in exchange, so you're not losing out. Third, you should see by now what kind of person I am. I'll do anything to stay alive. I'm not as perfect as you think, and you have no reason to be jealous."
Rebecca stared at Cecilia, silently.
For a moment, she almost believed her.
She sneered, "Cecilia, if I were a bit dumber, I might have believed your lies."
Cecilia frowned.
Rebecca continued, "I was set on killing you, but now I'm hesitating. If that doesn't show how formidable you are, what does? You're so smart. If I let you go today, the next person to suffer will be me!" Cecilia gritted her teeth, staring at Rebecca.
"But Cecilia, you mentioned you're a virgin. I didn't even think about torturing you by raping you before killing you." Rebecca's face was hideous.
Cecilia tried to stay calm.
'Raping before killing... that could buy me more time,' she thought.
She truly believed Alaric would come.
Just like when she had a car accident, Alaric would risk his life to save her.
She had to stay alive until Alaric arrived!
She couldn't die again so senselessly after being reborn. She absolutely couldn't die like this!
Cecilia forced herself to calm down. Even though she didn't want any man to touch her body except Alaric, she would force herself to accept it!
She still thought, 'If I get raped, will Alaric be very upset?'
She had abandoned everything.
She was just trying to stay alive, and she could go to any lengths to do so.
In her previous life, she might have chosen death over being raped.
But she had changed.
Cecilia said, "Rebecca, I'm really not as great as you think. I'm not worth all this effort!"
Rebecca laughed wildly, "Cecilia, stop struggling! No matter your mindset, even if it's just to survive, even if you use the smartest way to stay alive, I still think you're despicable! You disgust me, and I even feel Alaric isn't worth it. Whether you have feelings or not, Alaric thinks highly of you, even if it's just for cooperation, but you have behaved in such a disgraceful manner!"
"I never thought I was noble. I'm just an ordinary person. I'm cowardly and weak, not as noble as you think. I just disguise myself well. You really don't need to push yourself to this point for me! Rebecca, as long as you leave me alone, I'll do anything you want!" Cecilia said.
Rebecca replied, "Cecilia, you really did impress me a bit. For a moment, I was actually moved by your words! I started to doubt if it's worth it to go to such lengths for you. But ultimately, Cecilia, I'm not stupid. Your current humility only brings me temporary joy! So Cecilia, if you want me to let you go..." Rebecca said cruelly, "I'll tell you clearly, it's impossible!"
"Rebecca..."
"I'll give you another ten minutes to live," Rebecca interrupted, speaking bluntly. "I have to say, Cecilia, you're really impressive! Even now, you remain rational and know what I care about most. I'm really going to verify that Alaric didn't have sex with you."
Cecilia's throat tightened.
She was a bit flustered.
Rebecca's eyes flickered, and she ordered the man behind her, Alan Jordan, "Alan, what are you waiting for?"
Alan seemed a bit unresponsive.
"How clear do you want me to make it?" Rebecca raised her eyes.
Alan immediately understood and approached Cecilia directly.
