Cecilia Gu took a deep breath and turned around.
Cecilia never doubted for a second how selfish the Jiang Family could be!
If there could be a Mrs. Yin who would go to any lengths to destroy Ethan Yin for her son, then it’s no surprise there’s a Mrs. Jiang who only cares about protecting Helen Jiang and disregards everyone else’s dignity.
All for the sake of holding onto their power and status.
Mrs. Yin could abandon Sylvia Ran and choose me, just because I hold five percent of the shares.
So if Mrs. Jiang ignores her own humiliation just to protect Helen Jiang, that’s not surprising at all!
Cecilia saw through all of this, clear as day.
So, even if today’s incident blows up, as long as I’m not hurt, in the end, nothing will come of it!
Simply because I wasn’t injured!
Ha, what a joke!
If I really got hurt and then went after Helen Jiang, what’s the point?
It’s not that the Jiang Family is just protective—it’s that they don’t care about anyone else at all!
And what about Mrs. Yin?
Didn’t she also ignore the fact that I was bullied by Helen Jiang?
Looks like, in her eyes, she’s part of the Jiang Family too, so of course she’d stand up for Helen Jiang, right?
Absolutely ridiculous!
“Enough. You don’t have to say anything—I get it.” Cecilia said coldly. “It’s a good thing our business interests don’t overlap much, so I don’t have to deal with any of this. Eric, I already called Charles, and I’ll be leaving soon. From now on, I hope you and Helen will keep a safe distance from me.”
There’s really nothing to say to people this selfish.
A flash of pain crossed Eric Jiang’s face.
When Cecilia gets mad, she’s exactly like Yun Nuo!
Just as Cecilia Gu was about to turn and leave, Eric Jiang suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.
Cecilia Gu froze for a moment, then tried to pull away, but Eric Jiang held on tightly—so tightly she couldn't break free.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!" Eric Jiang apologized over and over, leaving Cecilia Gu unsure how to even respond to him.
Eric Jiang, the eldest son of the Jiang Family—wasn't he always known for his pride?
Why wasn't he angry at her words now? Why was he lowering himself, again and again, just for her?
What the hell was going on here?
Today, Cecilia Gu had chosen every word like a knife—she wanted to provoke Eric Jiang, to draw a clear line between them.
But how did things end up like this instead?
"I understand what you mean." Eric Jiang said softly, "You don't have to pretend to be angry, or say things just to upset me. I just came to tell you—this will never happen again! And as for what happened between Helen and me, I'll give you an answer you'll be satisfied with."
Cecilia Gu frowned, "An answer? I don't need any answers from you."
Suddenly, Eric Jiang pulled Cecilia Gu toward him, facing her directly.
The anger in Cecilia Gu's eyes cut straight into Eric Jiang's nerves, shaking him to his core.
He was starting to lose track of who was who—was she Nora Yun or Cecilia Gu?
He really couldn't tell anymore!
He knew perfectly well the woman in front of him was his sister-in-law, Cecilia Gu, but he couldn't help wanting to hold her close.
Why did he feel this way?
Seeing her hurt, seeing her wronged—it genuinely made his heart ache.
Why did it have to be like this?
Nora Yun used to be like a cloud in the sky—beautiful, distant, untouchable.
But Cecilia Gu was like that same cloud turned to rain, falling gently into his open palm—real and tangible.
