Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Lost at Sea, No Remains Found

Mona Summers stood like a queen in front of Cecilia Vaughn, her chin held high, her gaze towards Fiona Vaughn and Tyson Law filled with disdain.

Seeing her friend stand up for her like this, Cecilia felt a warmth in her heart. When she heard Mona call them "Green Monsters" and "Cuckolds," she couldn’t help but laugh out loud!

Exactly!

Fiona was now covered in green hand sanitizer, and Tyson was coincidentally wearing a dark green harem hat— the description was spot-on!

...

Seeing Cecilia and Mona laughing at him together, Tyson’s anger soared!

He shook his head, both heartbroken and incredulous!

"Cecilia! When did you start behaving like Mona, completely lacking the composure of a lady, telling such low-brow jokes with no class!"

"Class?"

"Tyson, do you think you have the right to talk to me about class?"

Cecilia’s laughter gradually stopped. Her almond eyes narrowed slightly, the coldness in her expression like ancient ice that never thaws.

That gaze made Tyson feel as if his veins were freezing.

For a moment, Tyson almost couldn’t meet her eyes, so he awkwardly lowered his head slightly.

The confusion in his heart spread slowly.

— Once upon a time, he and Cecilia were the golden couple everyone envied. How did it come to this?

Clearly, the one who betrayed first was her. So why did Cecilia get to act so high and mighty?

...

Seeing Tyson so enraptured by Cecilia, Fiona felt a bad premonition.

No matter the time, a man being overly captivated by a woman is always a dangerous signal.

Fiona glanced at Cecilia with a bit of fear, trembling slightly more in the man’s arms, as if frightened by Cecilia yet trying to act magnanimous.

"Sister, I beg you, can you just blame this on Fiona? Don’t take it out on Tyson."

"I know, sister, you’re upset about me and Tyson’s engagement party this weekend, but there’s no chance for you and Tyson anymore. Please, forgive us!"

Saying this, Fiona bit her lower lip, as if hesitating for a long time before finally deciding to put down all pride for forgiveness!

"Sister, is it not enough that I kneel to you today? I’m begging you!"

Her eyes turned red, and her body made a faint forward motion towards Cecilia— it wasn’t really kneeling, but Tyson hurriedly pulled her back into his arms, startled.

Seeing Cecilia’s indifferent expression, Tyson was instantly furious!

"Fiona, don’t do anything foolish! You kneel to the heavens, the earth, and your parents. Why should you do this for such a cold-blooded woman?"

"Tyson, I...sob..."

Fiona choked up, burying her head on the man’s shoulder.

Tears streamed down her face, making her small face look pitiful.

Seeing his fiancée in such a state, Tyson’s anger grew deeper, his concern for Fiona increasing!

He shouted angrily at Cecilia.

"Cecilia Vaughn, you’re too cold-blooded! Are you really going to watch your sister kneel in front of you?"

"Do you even know that because of you, Fiona is being verbally attacked online in all sorts of ways, and even her agency has dropped her? If I hadn’t set up a studio for her, her career would have been over!"

Fiona sniffled, tugging on Tyson’s arm as she cried in pain.

"Tyson, stop it, I know my sister...she didn’t mean it.. she’s just upset...it’s us who wronged her."

"Fiona! How can you still defend that snake-hearted woman?"

...

Cecilia looked at Tyson’s enraged expression and Fiona’s weepy facade, feeling only sarcasm and apathy.

"You two, act out this deep love scene enough already?"

Fiona looked pitiful as she lifted her head, tears threatening to fall from her watery eyes.

"Sister, please don’t think of me that way. I sincerely invited you to my and Tyson’s engagement party..."

Cecilia sneered coldly.

"Sincerely invited? Fiona Vaughn, your idea of a sincere invitation is using my deceased mother’s name to clean up your and your mistress mother’s image on TV?"

Seeing Cecilia so aggressive, Tyson’s anger rose even higher.

"Cecilia Vaughn! What’s with your attitude?"

Cecilia shot a cold glare, her face bare and clothes plain, yet her aura was strangely intimidating!

"What, did I say something wrong? Did Fiona and her mother not enjoy taking others’ partners?"

In this life, the person she respected most was her mother. Wendy Sutton, who never wronged anyone, just loved the wrong person and lost her life. To think these two juniors would insult her!

...

Mona Summers, shocked by her friend’s imposing aura, gave Cecilia a thumbs-up.

She stepped forward, a sarcastic smirk in her cat-like eyes.

"Fiona Vaughn, you’re such a white lotus. To redeem yourself, you even dare insult someone as kind as Aunt Sutton!"

Mona’s gaze swept past Fiona, turning to the fierce-looking Tyson, her tone dripping with disdain.

"And you, The Second Young Master Law, Aunt Sutton watched you grow up. You know exactly how she treated you!

"Don’t you feel guilty siding with your fiancée like this?"

As a child, Mona often visited Cecilia’s home and was always given snacks and fruit by Wendy Sutton. Wendy was the epitome of a well-bred lady, skilled in everything from music to chess to painting.

She was simply too gentle; otherwise, how would she have been deceived by a scumbag like Gregory Vaughn, drowning at sea without even a body!

Because of this, Mona’s mom would constantly remind her: When marrying, never marry a phoenix man or else risk losing the family’s assets without even knowing how you died!

The tragic end of such a beautiful woman was truly lamentable. If Wendy fell for Gregory’s deceit, Tyson was undeniably an ungrateful ingrate!

...

Thinking of the late Wendy Sutton, Tyson’s handsome face stiffened.

"I’m sorry to Aunt Sutton..."

His charming eyes darkened, the veins on his face gradually subsiding.

Cecilia glanced at Tyson’s defeated expression, her disgust deepening.

If Tyson really felt guilty, why would he aid the villains?

She abruptly turned to Mona.

"Let’s go."

Staying here any longer would only dirty her eyes!

...

Due to this incident, Cecilia lost her appetite. After hastily finishing her meal, she bid farewell to Mona.

Who knew, just as she reached the entrance of the Starfall Bay Community, her phone in her bag suddenly rang—
