Chapter 397 Cecily's Way of Apologizing
Jennifer and Freya whispered softly, as if they had already seen victory. The breath in their hearts was smooth.
Ahead, Aurelia's loud voice continued to nag at Cecily relentlessly. "Did you hear me? You'd better apologize to Victor and Freya right now, or we won't let you off. I've never seen such a malicious woman like you."
Aurelia glared fiercely at Cecily. Seeing Cecily still calm and composed was like punching cotton, making her even more furious.
"Say something."
"Get away/ Whoo are you to yell at our mommy?" Aurelia's voice was so loud that Rowan and Griffin, who were playing in the room, ran out and forcefully pushed Aurelia, standing protectively in front of Cecily.
Aurelia looked at Rowan and Griffin's fierce gazes, and her temper didn't subside much.
Darian had forgotten about them, and Owen hadn't mentioned these two children for a year, which showed that he didn't care about them at all. So she didn't need to treat them well.
"Get lost. This has nothing to do with you." Aurelia pushed them away.
After all, adults and children had a significant difference in strength. They were pushed hard by Aurelia, but fortunately, Cecily caught them in time.
"Mommy."
"Mommy."
"Come behind me."
Cecily originally didn't want to have a conflict with them in the Fitzgerald family, as it was both troublesome and unsightly.
But now that trouble kept coming to her, she wouldn't tolerate it.
Cecily pulled the two children behind her and looked at Aurelia. "How do you want me to apologize?"
Seeing Cecily ask this, Aurelia became even more arrogant.
'Sure enough, someone has to teach Cecily a lesson, or she will never know her place.' Aurelia wondered.
Today, Aurelia would teach her a good lesson and show her the consequences of offending them.
Aurelia raised her chin high and said, "You made Victor suffer so much and bullied Freya. If you want their forgiveness, it's simple. Kneel down and kowtow to them, and this matter will be over."
"Aurelia, don't go too far." Sandra's usually calm face was rarely filled with anger.
Aurelia acted as if she hadn't heard Sandra.
Patrick had been dead for so many years, and Aurelia still respected Sandra as a courtesy. 'This family would be ours sooner or later, so why should Itake her seriously?' she wondered.
Thinking of this, Aurelia not only didn't restrain herself but became even more arrogant.
"Did you hear me? Kneel! Apologize!" Aurelia shouted at Cecily.
Jennifer and Freya were overjoyed.
Seeing that Cecily neither spoke nor retorted, they secretly curled their lips in satisfaction. They had thought she would be very defiant, but she chose silence instead. This proved that she could only be domineering and arrogant with Darian and Vivienne's support, but now she was all alone.
They straightened their backs, looking at Cecily, just waiting for her to come over and kneel to apologize.
The thought of Cecily bowing and scraping before them was satisfying.
Victor had already sat down on the couch, crossing his legs. He knew Aurelia had a bad temper, and he certainly wouldn't stop her. This was the Fitzgerald family, and Cecily and Sandra didn't have Darian's support, so they didn't need to be too cautious.
Thinking this, Victor not only didn't stop but also sent a message to his father, Josep, asking him to find ways to keep Darian busy at the company and delay his return.
'Tonight, we must teach this arrogant woman a good lesson,' he determined inwardly.
"Aurelia, let it go. Don't make it too hard for Cecily." Freya pretended to show a troubled expression and tugged at Aurelia.
Hearing this, Aurelia glanced at her and said, "Freya, you're too easygoing! Are you just going to let her bully you? I can't bear to see you suffer like this."
Freya bit her lip, staring intently at Cecily. She certainly couldn't swallow this. She wished Cecily would immediately kneel and kowtow before her, begging for forgiveness, to ease the hatred in her heart.
Cecily gently lifted her eyes, her gaze falling on Freya.
Freya looked timid, twisting her hands and lowering her head.
"What are you waiting for? Apologize."
Cecily had no time to care about Freya now, her gaze fixed on Aurelia. Aurelia raised her hand and gave her a forceful shove.
A cold glint flashed in Cecily's eyes. "You want me to apologize, right?"
"That's right."
Aurelia's heart trembled as Cecily suddenly stepped forward. "Why are you staring at me like that? Are you still not convinced? Ah!"
Aurelia screamed, the sound of the slap was exceptionally clear.
Aurelia was stunned in place.
"You bitch, how dare you hit me."
Aurelia came to her senses, glaring at Cecily with eyes wide open, raising her hand to hit back, but Cecily caught her hand accurately.
"Aren't you asking me to apologize?"
As she spoke, she slapped Aurelia across the face.
"Sorry."
Cecily slapped Aurelia.
"Pardon me."
Cecily slapped Aurelia again.
"My apologies."
Cecily slapped Aurelia once more.
In an instant, the entire living room fell silent.
Aurelia was stunned in place, wanting to escape, but her wrist was tightly gripped by Cecily. As soon as she tried to flee, she was pulled back, leaving no chance to escape.
Even if Cecily slapped her a few more times, Aurelia had no way to avoid it.
