Mr. Law's Official Announcement: He is a Wife-Doting Fanatic!
Chapter 87: Fell Into Cecilia Vaughn’s Trap
In the face of Chloe Alden’s near-mad insults, Cecilia Vaughn remained calm.
She looked serene and simply found a chair to sit down.
"Eldest Miss Alden, what did you just call me, a vixen?"
...
Does this woman have no shame?
She even dared to ask back!
Chloe Alden stared at Cecilia Vaughn with eyes wide open in anger, already completely enraged with shame.
"You heard right! I did call you a vixen!"
"Cecilia Vaughn, isn’t it just because you have a slightly pretty face? Vixen with a heart like a snake, how did you enchant that big shot?!"
Chloe Alden originally wanted to settle accounts with Cecilia Vaughn right after she was released from the detention center, but her father was scared to death, telling her not to cause trouble for Cecilia Vaughn, saying that if she did seek revenge, her father’s official position would be at risk!
A fleeting glance at the ancient town, that god-like handsome man, did he really have such power?!
And even her father didn’t know the man’s full name!
...
The more Chloe Alden thought about it, the more jealous she felt, and her originally pretty face became twisted beyond recognition!
Why?!
Although she didn’t know the mysterious man’s name, he was not only extraordinarily powerful but also extraordinarily handsome!
Every time she secretly looked at Adrian Law, she almost drowned in his lazy gaze!
But that man was as cold as ice, only showing any warmth when he saw Cecilia Vaughn next to him!
Why would that vile woman, who was already ridden and tossed around in prison, receive his affection?!
...
Seeing Chloe Alden’s frantic state, Cecilia Vaughn remained unmoved, even having the leisure to appreciate Chloe Alden’s current ferocious expression.
"Thank you, Eldest Miss Alden, for complimenting my looks. I remember Miss Alden always mocked me for being ugly before. It seems this is the first time I’ve heard you say I’m good-looking."
Cecilia Vaughn was well aware of how to strike where it hurts.
The calmer she was, the angrier Chloe Alden became.
...
How could there be such a shameless woman!
Chloe Alden saw Cecilia Vaughn remain serene and she was so furious she almost spat blood!
"What good is a pretty face! In that man’s eyes, you’re nothing but a tool for release!"
A tool for release?!
Cecilia Vaughn gave Chloe Alden a strange look. Honestly, she still hadn’t consummated her relationship with Adrian Law, so she wondered what Adrian Law would think about this evaluation.
...
"Eldest Miss Alden, it seems you’ve misunderstood me deeply."
Cecilia Vaughn sat leisurely on the chair, her expression was elegant and calm, as if she wasn’t having a spat with someone but was discussing tomorrow’s weather.
"Seeing how agitated you are, your face is almost deformed. I think you could learn from my lily-white stepsister, always assuming the pose of Lady Serenya. Maybe it would be more beautiful."
"You—"
Chloe Alden furrowed her brows tightly, wanting to insult her again, but as someone who loved beauty, she couldn’t help but be distracted by Cecilia Vaughn’s casual advice.
She hesitatedly turned her head towards the wedding dress shop’s fitting mirror.
The mirror in the wedding shop was extremely precise, clearly reflecting Chloe Alden’s twisted expression!
In the mirror, her face was flushed to an iron-blue color, not a bit beautiful, but rather like a nightmare banshee!
...
As someone who loves beauty, Chloe Alden broke out in a cold sweat.
She thought of Cecilia Vaughn’s words and turned to look at Fiona Vaughn next to her.
Sure enough, Fiona Vaughn maintained that pitiful demeanor, her small hand placed on her heart as if she couldn’t bear it, no less than the reincarnation of Lady Serenya.
Standing beside the fairy-like Fiona Vaughn, her own terrifying expression was even uglier by contrast!
This was probably the first time Chloe Alden realized the gap between herself and Fiona Vaughn, though she still overlooked the vast difference in their attire.
One is a fairy, the other a pheasant.
...
Cecilia Vaughn, seeing that Chloe Alden finally understood, didn’t mind adding fuel to the fire in her relationship with Fiona Vaughn.
"Eldest Miss Alden, I find it strange."
"Logically, I can understand my stepsister hating me because of our past grievances, but we’ve always had no grudges, yet you keep targeting me, even pushing me into the water last time at the ancient town."
"You saw the outcome; your family paid three million ransom. I’m not sure if my lily-white stepsister shared even a penny of that burden for you?"
Upon hearing this, Chloe Alden was profoundly shocked!
Indeed, although she disliked Cecilia Vaughn, they never had any deep-seated hatred before.
But each time Fiona Vaughn was "bullied" by Cecilia Vaughn, she’d become righteously indignant.
How did it escalate to the point where a mere glance from Fiona Vaughn would turn her into the forefront blade?
Especially concerning the incident in Veridia, Fiona Vaughan was unscathed, while she suffered terribly, losing both the woman and soldiers!
...
Chloe Alden was arrogant and domineering but not entirely foolish.
This little enlightenment made her begin to regret why she had to be the first to stand up, otherwise she wouldn’t have been detained, let alone lose three million!
Fiona Vaughn saw Chloe Alden’s suddenly enlightened gaze and immediately became alarmed!
"Chloe, sister is trying to incite discord because she’s mad at me, don’t believe her!"
As she spoke, Fiona Vaughn grabbed Chloe Alden’s hand, looking weak and innocent.
Within mere seconds, she displayed the professional quality of an actress, tears streaming down instantly.
...
Chloe Alden was arrogant but truly cared for Fiona Vaughn. No sooner did she see her cry than she panicked, not having the heart to think whether Cecilia Vaughn’s words were right or wrong.
"Fiona, don’t be upset, how could I not trust you!"
She and Fiona Vaughn had been friends for nearly ten years. Fiona is so kind and gentle, always considering for her. How could she be the lily-white Cecilia Vaughn spoke of!
"Boo-hoo... Chloe, you’re so good."
Fiona Vaughn choked, her shoulders trembling continuously, like she was suffering world’s grievances.
...
Chloe Alden, with a heartache beyond measure, immediately cast a sinister glare at Cecilia Vaughn.
"Cecilia Vaughn, you vile woman, how dare you sow discord between Fiona and me!"
"Can you disrupt the iron bond between Fiona and me?"
Seeing Chloe Alden still trusted Fiona Vaughn, Cecilia Vaughn chuckled and even curved her lips in delight.
"Who are you calling a vile woman?"
Chloe Alden coldly snorted, proud and arrogant.
"The vile woman is scolding you!"
Cecilia Vaughn nodded approvingly.
"Good, as long as you admit it, it’s a good thing you have some self-awareness, even if you’re not too bright."
Chloe Alden was dazed for a couple of seconds before realizing she’d fallen into a trap!
...
Chloe Alden’s face was full of rage, disregarding her father’s instructions, directly wanting to slap Cecilia Vaughn!
"Vile woman, always with the sharp tongue! Today I’ll surely swell your mouth!"
Cecilia Vaughn didn’t take Chloe Alden’s tricks to heart, instinctively taking a step back.
Unexpectedly, the door was opened, and she stumbled into a strong male embrace...
