Chapter 804 Cecilia Infuriates Lyra
Seraphina laughed out loud at what Cecilia said.
Lyra really thought she was something special!
Look, Cecilia never cared about her at all.
Lyra shot a cold glance at Seraphina, watching her gloating smile.
She gritted her teeth, telling herself she didn't need to bother with Seraphina.
After all, she didn't care about Seraphina.
She said bluntly, "You said last time that we were on the same side!"
Cecilia smiled a little.
So Lyra came this time to seek cooperation.
She had anticipated that Lyra would compromise.
Especially after Lyra was scolded by Alaric last time, she must be holding a grudge and thinking about revenge, planning to go against Alaric.
Cecilia nodded, "Yes."
"What do you want me to do to help you?" Lyra asked her.
She admitted that she had thought about it for a long time.
After being treated like that by Alaric in the hospital last time, she could never swallow that anger in her life.
Since Alaric wanted to treat her that way, she would make Alaric regret it.
Wasn't Alaric reluctant to let Cecilia go?
She would help Cecilia leave!
She just wanted them all to suffer!
Anyway, Cecilia wanted to leave on her own.
If Alaric really wanted to hold someone responsible, it wouldn't be her.
With the plan in mind, Lyra returned to Serenovia City and came to find Cecilia.
Cecilia refused, "No."
Lyra's face changed instantly.
She glared at Cecilia.
Was Cecilia playing her?
"What do you mean!" Lyra gritted her teeth.
She had thought so much, struggled internally, and finally decided to cooperate with Cecilia once to help her leave Alaric, and she said no!
Cecilia could also sense Lyra's temper, and she calmly said, "I never intended for you to help me."
"You didn't want me to help you? Then you were playing me last time! You never wanted to leave Alaric? Or were you testing me on purpose!" Lyra was so angry she almost jumped up.
Could it be that Cecilia and Alaric were in cahoots?
If so, she would be caught red-handed doing something against Alaric.
If Alaric told Tomas.
Lyra was shocked.
Her position in the Monroe family had been precarious lately, and if she caused more trouble, Tomas would be utterly disappointed in her.
She clenched her fists.
Her face turned pale with anger.
How could she be played by Cecilia again and again!
Cecilia looked at Lyra's expression and could roughly guess what she was thinking.
She said, "It's not as complicated as you think. I just feel that you can't help me with anything."
"You!" Lyra was trembling with anger.
Cecilia, a mistress, imprisoned here, actually looked down on her.
What right did she have to mock her here?
"That day, planning on purpose, talking about cooperation with you, was indeed to get you to do something for me." Cecilia said slowly.
Compared to Lyra's anger, it was like two extremes.
"Help me contact Juniper," Cecilia said.
Lyra glared at Cecilia.
At that moment, she felt humiliated once again.
So from the beginning, Cecilia only wanted to cooperate with Juniper.
In Cecilia's eyes, she was inferior to Juniper.
"I saw Juniper at the hospital last time and talked to her. So there's no need for you to contact her anymore, and you have no use!"
"Cecilia!" Lyra gritted her teeth.
Since childhood, she had always had a strong sense of superiority.
She always treated Juniper as a child and never really cared about Juniper's threat.
Juniper's recent success had already made her jealous.
At this moment, Cecilia's words made her so angry that her body was trembling.
She deeply felt that she was now truly inferior to Juniper.
"So, if there's nothing else, please leave. It's late, and I need to rest." Cecilia issued an order to expel Lyra.
Lyra glared coldly at Cecilia.
She had come in high spirits, only to be belittled by Cecilia to this extent.
"Cecilia, you know I'm working at the Lockhart Group now, right?" Lyra said fiercely.
"That's not our Lockhart Group," Cecilia smiled. "It was renamed Nexus Strategic Holdings a long time ago."
"I will make the Lockhart Group a mess, unlivable!" Lyra threatened.
"That has nothing to do with me. That's Alaric's or Dashiell's problem."
Lyra snorted coldly and stormed out.
She didn't believe Cecilia had no feelings for the Lockhart Group.
When Cecilia left the Lockhart Group, she arranged benefits for many employees, making them grateful to her.
She would make those people Cecilia once cared about suffer!
Lyra was driven away by Cecilia.
Seraphina watched from the side, feeling delighted.
It was still the same Cecilia.
Still the calm and composed Cecilia who could infuriate people with just a few words.
Seraphina had thought that under Alaric's oppression, Cecilia had become despondent.
Although she was a bit unhappy with what Alaric did to Cecilia.
Seeing Cecilia like this, she felt much more at ease.
Seraphina asked, "Cecilia, do you want to leave Alaric?"
Listening to Cecilia and Lyra's conversation, it seemed like that was the case.
"I do. But I can't leave now," Cecilia didn't hide it from Seraphina.
"That bastard," Seraphina cursed.
"But it's only a matter of time," Cecilia said calmly, changing the subject, "Why did you come tonight?"
"Don't you want me to come?"
"Aren't you very busy with work?" Cecilia couldn't help but smile.
One day, Seraphina called her in the middle of the night, complaining that her life was unbearable due to work pressure.
Cecilia knew Seraphina just wanted to vent, and she felt somewhat comforted.
At least.
Seraphina was starting to learn to grow up.
Even though she was reluctant, she was clearly more responsible than before.
The tragedy of the past life.
Should be over now.
"Dashiell said Alaric left, so he asked me to come and keep you company," Seraphina said directly.
Cecilia nodded slightly.
She was clearly averse to the topic of Alaric.
Seraphina could feel it, so she didn't say much, only saying, "Cecilia, do you know how outrageous Dashiell is now?"
Then she told Cecilia everything she had experienced today.
Seeing Seraphina in such high spirits, Cecilia knew she wasn't really angry with Dashiell, just wanted to vent.
She interrupted Seraphina's endless complaints, "Have you ever thought about getting back together with Dashiell?"
Seraphina paused, her eyes widening in shock, "Don't joke with me. He would never get back with me! It's already good enough that he hasn't killed me!"
Seraphina felt that such a thing was something she didn't even dare to think about anymore!
