After hiding her phone behind her, Cecilia pressed the decline button and quickly switched to silent mode.
Although it was just a glance, Jeremy actually saw the name on the phone. When he saw her messy hair, he suddenly understood and did not say anything. He sat down and gently placed the ice pack on her reddened cheek.
"I'm sorry about what happened..."
He hadn't thought that after being apart for so long, Lindsay would still be so stubborn and not change. After all, his relationship with her was too deep. If he really had to hit her, he'd actually still be a bit unwilling.
At this moment, Jeremy was disconsolate. It was said that marrying the wrong woman could ruin three generations of one's family, which was more or less correct. He was deeply hurt, but he had only himself to blame. Therefore, in his heart, he had nothing to say besides blaming himself.
Cecilia shook her head and said with a smile, "I'm fine. It doesn't hurt."
It was her fault that she'd fallen in love with Lindsay's man. She deserved all of these hardships. She had come here just to seek justice for Waverly. She didn't expect that she would end up like this.
Although her cheek was still burning, at this moment, looking at the gentle and concerned man in front of her, Cecilia felt happy. Perhaps this was meant to happen!
Back then, if not for this incident, how would she have met him? She would not have developed a good impression of him either.
When their eyes met and their affection for each other grew stronger, suddenly, a shrill sound of a car alarm sounded, followed by a woman's crazy shriek and the sound of glass breaking.
"Jeremy?"
Getting up, Jeremy picked up his cell phone and said, "It's okay, I'll call the police!"
Back in the room, as soon as Cecilia wanted to dial Natasha's number, she received a video call from her. The corners of her mouth were pulled into a smile and she went to take a look in the mirror to make sure she appeared decent. She then pressed the answer button,
"Hello, Mommy, I miss you so much."
Cecilia waved her hand and behaved adorably.
She was still smiling, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Natasha's face suddenly fell. "Cecilia, what's wrong with your face? Who did that?" Natasha's question sounded more like a statement. Alas, Cecelia didn't expect her mother's eyes to be so sharp. Even if she had deliberately turned sideways to hide it, Natasha still discovered it. Cecilia smiled dryly.
She shook her head and said, "It's nothing. I went out to buy something today, but some movers accidentally bumped into me. Mom, I'm a tough girl. No one will bully me. What's more, I have protected Waverly ever since I was a child!"
She stuck out her tongue and deliberately changed the topic. She felt a little upset internally, but now she could not say anything, let alone complain about it or vent her anger.
"Cecilia..."
Obviously, Natasha could see through her daughter's facade. She looked distressed and worried. But before she could say anything, Cecilia interrupted her with a laugh.
"Mom, are you all right with Dad? Did he get mad? Have you calmed him down?"
After chatting for a while, Cecilia found an excuse to hang up the phone. The moment she put down the phone, she breathed a heavy sigh of relief. Her shoulders slumped, and a wave of pain surged in her chest. When she picked up the phone, she dialed series of numbers.
"Hello, Waverly..."
On the other side, with her phone in her hand, Natasha couldn't make up her mind. She couldn't help pacing back and forth in the room with her eyebrows knitted into a frown.
As soon as Jaguar entered the room and saw her, he had an idea of what happened. "What's wrong? Did you call Cecilia again? Why won't she come home? You've spoiled her way too much!"
Natasha turned around and took the suit from his hand. She hung it on a hanger and could not help sighing. What a pity! How did Cecilia fall in love with Jeremy? And yet Jeremy still...
Good heavens, was this a punishment for her?
She paused for a moment and suddenly realized that things should not continue like this. She turned around and said, "Cecilia and Waverly are both in Casterwich City. They're are really worrying. Jaguar, we have to think of a plan."
She could not let Jeremy ruin both her daughters!
"What can I do? It's all useless! Both of them are disobedient! We can't arrange everything forthem. Forget it. Let's live our own lives!"
Jaguar snorted angrily, and his face turned red with fury again. His two precious daughters were already planning to leave the nest when they weren't fully grown up yet! Jaguar felt uncomfortable whenever he thought about it.
"Jaguar! How can you say that? They don't know Casterwich City well. Waverly has been spoiled since young, and her health isn't in the best shape! Aren't you worried that she will get hurt?"
With these words, more than half of his anger was extinguished in an instant. In place of his anger, there was silence.
After a while, he sighed and said,
"Alright, I know what to do. Let's wait a few days. How about we stay in Casterwich City for a while? I'm glad that they're in the same place. Otherwise, it would be extremely troubling. How dare you baby them? They are nothing but two scourges!"This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Were they going to Casterwich City?
Natasha suddenly held her breath at this thought. Suddenly, her wish was realized, but she didn't know what kind of feeling she had. Would she be able to avoid it this time?
The day's shooting had ended in the Championus Media building. As soon as Elaine got off the stage, there was a burst of rustling and laughter behind her.
"I heard that the role of the princess has been handed to someone else. Is it true? Wasn't the movie announced already? I heard that it went viraleven before filming. Didn't they already appoint Beyonce and Faye as the main actress and supporting actress? I heard that both of them have a strong background and have a close
relationship with Mr. Clements."

"Humph, your news is out of date! Don't forget that Mr. Clements is married. Even if they have a close relationship, doubt that they are as close to him as Mrs. Clements. I heard that it was two main actresses this time around. However, Faye was replaced by Elaine. In public eyes, the movie appears to have two female leads, but in fact, Elaine seems to have a more important role than Beyonce. I heard that Elaine is Mr. Clements's subordinate."
"What? Is it really her? She is so lucky! But didn't Trevor get married? Is the recent news all true? The novel 'Emperor's Consort' has been popular for many years, and the two leading actresses are the top picks from the past two years. When will this kind of good luck come to us?"
"We'll talk about it when you're as beautiful as Elaine. You said Elaine and Mr. Clements—"
While they were whispering to each other, Elaine walked over and they were so frightened that their faces turned pale. When they were about to say something, Holger came in with a woman and walked straight up to Elaine.
"Miss Bt, Mr. Clements has instructed us to prepare for tonight's celebration banquet."
With a sign from Holger, the woman came forward with a big gift box. With a faint smile, Holger said again, "He will be there on time."
His tone was modest, and his words were heard by everyone. Before turning around to leave, Holger glanced at the gift box out of the corner of his
eye.
