Deserted Wife Strikes Back Chapter 16 Is Mr.
Whitaker Jealous ? After the Lockhart family left , the Kingsleys showed their true colors Nathaniel snapped , That damn girl Cecilia really made me swallow lot of anger a Daminic stayed silent , but he was clearly upset with Cecilias behavior ton .
Didnt you say Cecilia was always under your thumb ? How come she seems like a completely different person now ?! Octavia couldnt help but ask Dominic .
Today , she really had us dancing to er tune ! I dont know whats going on either , Dominic looked confused .
Im with Cecilin almost every day , and even when were not together , we talk on the phone .
I didnt notice any sudden change , but her behavior today was definitely odd .
I dont think its Cecilias fault , Nathaniel sald , It must be that old fox Theodore , Dad , you think Theodore made Cecilia say those things on purpose We watched Cecilia grow up , and youve always been with her .
People dont change that fast , Nathaniel concluded .
It must be Theodore , worried we wont repay the loan , so he coached Cecilia .
Theodore isnt as straightforward as he seems .
There are few honest people in business ! I never er saw it coming .
I always thought he was a nice guy , Dominic said angrily .
But Dad , it doesnt matter .
Once I marry Cecilia , -not just the $ 300 million ; the whole Lockhart Group , worth $ 16.5 billion , will be ours ! Nathaniel grinned wickedly , Im counting on you ! Dont worry , Ive got Cecilia wrapped around my finger , Dominic said confidently , his eyes gleaming with cunning .
Indeed , birds of a feather flock together ! After leaving Kingsley Mansion and getting into the car , Theodore excitedly said , Cecilia , you really impressed me today .
I hadnt even figured out how to refuse the Kingsleys request , but you got them to willingly write the IOU .
Now , I dont have to worry about losing that $ 300 million .
Cecilia smiled faintly .
She wasnt thinking about the $ 300 million ; she was focused on the Kingsleys 6.67 % shares , In her previous life , the Kingsleys were hell bent on taking over the Lockhart familys assets .
In this life , she wanted them to feel what it was like to lose everything ! Nathaniel has some nerve , asking us to fund his e commerce project , treating us like fools ! Cecilia , 1 didnt see it before , but now , after your reminder , the Kingsleys are indeed selfish and sinister , Theodore said , getting a bit angry .
So with this family , we not only cant let our guard down but also cant show any mercy .
Are you planning break off the engagement next ? Theodore was still a bit curious .
Youll find out in due time , Cecilia said mysteriously .
Its not that she wanted to keep it from them , but she feared that if she mentioned collaborating with Alaric or even possibly marrying him .
Theodore and Genevieve would be furious In the eyes of all the cl elders , Alaric would never be a good choice for a son in law ! 1/4 Chapter 16 Is Mr.
Whitaker Jealous ? It would be hard to clear Alaris name .
So for now , she didnt want to upset her parents .
Alright , Ill wait and see .
Theodore agreed this time , clearly showing more trust in Cecilia .
Cecilia smiled and nodded .
The car arrived at the Lockhart family villa .
As she got out of the car , Cecilia finall finally said , Dad , I have something to do and need to go out for a while .
You and Mom go ahead .
Its so late , where are you going ? Im going to … se see Seraphina .
Whats up with Seraphina ? She got drunk , Cecilia lied .
After all , friends are meant to be sold out ! Alright , be careful .
Seraphina , really , such a good girl , why does she always like to go clubbing ? You should advise her more; something happens , shell be the one to suffer .
Pll talk to her .
Come back early .
Cecilia obediently agreed .
Theodore and Genevieve , still worried , gave her several more reminders before leaving .
Cecilia had the driver take her directly away from the villa .
As she left , she dialed a number .
The voice on the other end sounded a bit hungover , Ms.
Lockhart ? I need to talk to you .
Where are you ? Didnt Ms.
Lockhart go to Kingsley Mansion today ? Suddenly thinking of me , should I feel flattered ? Are you jealous ? Cecilia asked bluntly .
The media had already exposed their visit to Kingsley Mansion .
Cecilia had seen it while playing on her phone at Kingsley Mansion but didnt care because it wasnt important .
However , it was clear that it could still cause misunderstandings .
Alaric sneered and said to someone nearby , Come on , baby , scream something for Ms.
Lockhart to hear .
Honey , you ! ure so annoying ! A voice so sweet it could give you goosebumps : Cecilias expression changed slightly .

During the entire ride , she kept adjusting her emotions .
The car pulled up to the Astralium Empire , the largest club in Serenovia city .
From a distance , the neon lights at the grand entrance were dazzling , casting a glow that seemed to illuminate half the sky .

She got out , feeling a bit apprehensive .
She even had the impulse to call Seraphina to bail her out .
Gritting her teeth , she followed the doorman into the Astralium Empire .
This was her first time in such a place .
Seraphina had invited her to come before , but Cecilia always refused .
Eventually , Seraphina stopped asking but would occasionally complain , warning Cecilia that if she remained so unchanging , men would eventually get bored , She never took Seraphinas words to heart before .
