Chapter 435 Cecily Is Your Biological Daughter
Cecily glanced at the doorway and stepped over.
She opened the door and saw Bryan's grim face. "Cecily, where's Jennifer?"
Cecily looked at his anxious expression and said calmly, "I have no idea."
Even if she did, she wouldn't tell him. But honestly, she had no clue.
If she hadn't bumped into him and Desmond by chance, she wouldn't have known Vivienne was making a move today.
"Stop lying. Vivienne had someone trick me, and you stalled me at the tea house. You really don't know?" Bryan didn't believe her.
Cecily sighed. "First, I really don't know. Second, even if I did, I wouldn't tell you. Third, Jennifer got what she deserved."
She turned to go back inside.
As she turned, she didn't notice Darian, who had been reading documents, had already walked up behind her.
Darian took her hand. "Go rest. I'll handle this."
"You?" Cecily hesitated but seeing Bryan's determined look, she nodded.
Bryan glared at Darian. "This has nothing to do with you. Move."
"My wife and child almost died last night, and you say it has nothing to do with me?" Darian's eyes were cold.
"What do you want to say?"
Darian said, "Jennifer and Freya almost killed your daughter. Do you still want to save her?"
"What did you say?" Shock flashed in Bryan's eyes.
Cecily's heart raced when Darian said that. She hadn't expected him to reveal it so suddenly.
Bryan stared at Darian, then slowly looked at Cecily, disbelief in his eyes.
"Are you saying Cecily is my daughter?"
"What else?"
Darian couldn't stand seeing Cecily hurt by Bryan anymore.
Bryan was shocked for a few seconds, then sneered. "Impossible."
He had seen Vivienne come out of the operating room after the abortion, and the nurse had told him the child was gone.
Later, with Wade's help, Vivienne disappeared. He searched for her for a long time and only found out much later that she had changed her name and married a man named Raphael to avoid being found. During that time, she had a child, Cecily.
But he had found out that her marriage to Raphael was just a contract. Vivienne didn't care for someone like Raphael, so the child she had couldn't be his. It had to be Wade's.
Wade had admitted it that morning.
So now, Darian must be lying. How could Cecily be his daughter?
Absolutely impossible.
Bryan sneered. "Even if you don't want me to save Jennifer, you don't have to make up such a ridiculous lie. Do you think I'd believe you?"
Darian smirked.
He thought about how he had looked when he didn't believe Cecily about Rowan and Griffin being his kids—probably just as foolish.
Darian nodded. "Escort him out."
He turned to the frozen Cecily, wrapped his arm around her waist, and led her inside. "Ignore him. He's beyond saving."
Cecily had imagined Bryan's reaction when he found out, but she hadn't expected him to not believe it at all.
She tried to appear indifferent, but her eyes, which held a faint hope, dimmed.
Bryan stood at the door, a mocking smile on his lips.
'How could Cecily be mydaughter?'
'How could she?'
'Absolutely impossible!' he pondered.
Even if Darian and Cecily didn't tell him where Jennifer was, he could find her himself. It was just a matter of time.
Meanwhile, Jennifer stood in an empty room, on the verge of breaking down.
She thought Vivienne would take action against her, but she didn't.
Vivienne just sat calmly on the sofa, drinking tea, not even sparing her a glance.
As time passed, Jennifer was drenched in cold sweat, constantly wiping her face and watching Vivienne warily.
Finally, she couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Vivienne, when are you going to let me go? Bryan is coming. Aren't you going to release me?"
Vivienne ignored her.
"Vivienne, what do you want? Say something."
The torment of uncertainty gnawed at her soul.
Vivienne continued to ignore her.
"Vivienne, are you scared? Yeah, you are, so you don't dare to touch me but don't want to let me go either, so you're stalling for time, right?"
"Vivienne, stop pretending to be mute. Say something!"
Jennifer tried to rush forward, but Gary stopped her, not letting her get close to Vivienne.
At that moment, the sound of a car approaching came from outside.
Jennifer was overjoyed and looked excitedly towards the door.
