Chapter 12 Juliana’s Schemes
She tuned her head. This time she spoke to Vincent. “Vincent, why didn’t you go to work today?!
Vincent’s face changed suddenly.
“Andrew and Isadora didn’t go either? Cecilia raised an eyebrow.
“What are you getting at? Vincent glared at Cecilia.
“Nothing.” Cecilia smiled faintly, I just suddenly understand why Grandpa chose my dad as the heir.”
“Cecilia, don’t push it! Believe it or not, I’ll hit you! As he spoke, Vincent stepped forward to hit Cecilia.
Genevieve hurriedly stepped in front of Cecilia.
Cecilia pulled out her phone and said loudly to Vincent, “I’m recording this. Do you dare to hit me? If you do, Fll take you to court! I mean it!”
Vincent’s raised hand paused, his body trembling with anger.
Andrew quickly pulled him back, and Vincent reluctantly lowered his hand. He yelled at Cecilia, “One day, you’ll all regret

past life, but in this life, no one can bully anyone in the family.
As the rage filled the entire Old Lockhart Mansion, Cecilia pulled Genevieve and left the mansion. They left it all behind.

anger.
this.
“Shut up!” Ophelia scolded harshly, “You inconsiderate fool!”
Vivienne was baffled by Ophelia’s scolding. She had been helping to scold Cecilia, how was she being inconsiderate?
Vincent yelled at Vivienne, “You’re really useless. Ophelia had her eye on that sapphire for ages, and with just a few words from you, Cecilia took it back! Can’t you do anything right?”
Vivienne’s face turned red with embarrassment. She never expected that she would fall into Cecilia’s trap.
“Actually, it’s very easy to deal with Cecilia. Juliana suddenly spoke, her voice still soft and weak, making her seem harmless and endearing.
“What good advice could you possibly have? Ophelia glanced at Juliana disdainfully. Because Juliana was an illegitimate child, Ophelia had never treated her well.
“Actually, Cecilia’s leverage co

“Do you really need to say that? Vivienne, frustrated and looking for an outlet, couldn’t help but vent at Juliana.
Juliana said, “What I mean is, if we get Isadora and Dominic together then Cecilia will b

Vivienne was stunned for a moment.
Isadora, who was beside her, also raised her eyes. She didn’t speak at the moment, but she was definitely not convinced. Originally,

also became Cecilia’s,
“There’s still over a month until the wedding. All we need to do is slip Cecilia and Dominic from getting married?”
“Easy for you to say. Can’t you see how much Dominic likes Cecilia? Isadora couldn’t help but mock,
“Making Dominic fall in love with you in just over a month is indeed not easy, but… Jullana hesitated,
“If you have something to say, just say it. Stop beating around the bh. You’re just as lowly as your mother. Isadora chimed in.
“Isadora!” Vincent’s face turned cold.
Isadora rolled her eyes. She thought, This li
little wretch had someho won Vincent’s favor.
“I’m afraid if I say it, you’ll be unhappy.” Juliana deliberately held back.
“Just tell us!” Isadora shouted impatiently.
Juliana glanced at Vincent again. With his encouragement, she nervously said, “It’s hard to make Dominic fall in love with you, getting a man to sleep with a woman would be easy.”
Everyone looked at Juliana.-

Juliana felt extremely embarrassed under their gaze and quickly explained, “This is just an idea I had. I just don’t want to see you being bullied by Cecilia. I just… As she spoke, Juliana’s eyes reddened, looking pitiful and afraid of being scolded.
“Enough, crying all day as if the Lockhart family bullies you so much Vivienne couldn’t stand Juliana’s act the most.
Juliana sobbed, trying not to make a sound.
Ophelia said she was tired
and asked Vincent to help her back to her room.
Vincent knew very well that Ophelia must have approved of Juliana’s suggestion and wanted to discuss it with him, so he quickly agreed.
Andrew, Isadora, and Vivienne looked down on Juliana and left without staying, leaving Juliana alone in the large hall.
When no one was around, Juliana no longer needed to pretend to be pitiful. She smirked coldly.
She knew very well that they would definitely use her suggestion, and she certainly wasn’t as kind–hearted as she appeared. She was just waiting for Isadora to dig her own grave, so she could naturally take Isadora’s pla
Then she would replace Cecilia and become the true daughter of the Lockhart family!
Cecilia and Genevieve sat in the family car on their way back to the Lockhart family villa.
In the car, Genevieve was a bit excited, “Cecilla, you were amazing today. You really impressed me.
Cecilia smiled lightly, “Mom, I will never let Ophelia bully you again.
“But… but where did you get the courage to confront Ophelia like that and make her so angry?”
That’s also because she bullies you too much. Cecilia said, “Mom, you don’t need to adhere to any moral obligations with her. She’s not worth your respect.”
