Chased Her Around After Breaking off His Engagement

"Certainly not!" Scarlet exclaimed sympathetically. "Don't you remember? Last time, you were fooled by Mr Lisa's words and foolishly believed they would treat everyone equally... If Mr Lisa truly regarded you as his family, he wouldn't have warned you like that, and he wouldn't have locked you up here like he did today."

Cecilia smiled sorrowfully. If anyone knew that she had been locked in her room for self-reflection by Lisa...

It would be so embarrassing if it got out.

"Last time, I advised you to take advantage of their affection towards you and kick Isabella out of the Logan family or secure the greatest benefits for yourself. Alternatively, you could have become the most prominent woman with Mr. Mason. But you didn't choose any of those paths. Instead, you came up with the most useless one: to get along with Isabella and please everyone in the Logan family..." Scarlet continued.

At this moment, Cecilia realized how foolish she had been to believe that she could genuinely be families with Isabella...

"If only I had listened to you earlier, things wouldn't have escalated to this point. It was my unwillingness to give up, always holding onto a glimmer of hope and believing that Lisa and the others would truly trea me equally..."

"Ah, if they were fair, why would Mr Lisa have planted the Tibetan snow lotus, Isabella's favourite flower, on her balcony before he called you to the terrace for a conversation?" Scarlet interrupted.

It didn't seem like something Mr Lisa would do at all!

If he genuinely treated them equally, why did Isabella have flowers while Cecilia had none?

Wasn't everything he gave to Isabella supposed to be what Cecilia had owned for the past eighteen years, such as planting flowers or giving her the four-leaf clover necklace? Cecilia had never had any of those things.

Cecilia didn't know how long she had been crying. For the first time, she felt that her tears would never stop flowing.

Her heart was truly broken, filled with despair.

"After all, you grew up in a small family, ignorant of the world. Even though you returned to the wealthiest family, your poor taste in preferences hasn't changed! Every time I see the Tibetan snow lotus swaying on her balcony, I feel she lacks taste, is shallow, and cannot meet high standards! Our Logan family's garden is filled with precious flowers and plants, but she has dragged down the classiness!" Cecilia though the same way. Why would she like something so trashy as the Tibetan snow lotus?

When Cecilia's emotions calmed down, Scarlet gave her an idea.

"Cecilia, there are many online platforms now where people buy luxury items at high prices. Your closet is filled with clothes, shoes, and bags, many of which haven't even had their price tags removed... I've calculated it, and it could be worth at least a billion." Scarlet suggested.

Some dresses cost hundreds of thousands, and Cecilia only wore them once.

Some limited-edition handbags were worth seven to eight hundred

thousand, but Cecilia carried them once and left them to collect dust in her closet.

“If you marry Wayne in the future and have a driver for your outings, those luxury cars you own won't be useful. It's better to sell them all...” Scarlet continued.

If she sold everything, she could quickly get one or two billion from luxury cars!

"And the jewellery you've received from childhood..."

That would be worth a lot.

Just the pink gemstone necklace she received when she was born was now worth over twenty million...

She could easily make several hundred million if she sold everything except for a few pieces of jewellery for personal use.

"A preliminary estimate suggests that selling everything could bring in around six billion," Scarlet informed Cecilia, surprising her with her knowledge. Cecilia herself had not paid attention to how much these items were worth.

"Cecilia, it's not to dampen your spirits, but if Mr Lisa can do something like this, he might even kick you out of the house. Rather than being left with nothing when that happens, it's better to sell these things now..." Scarlet warned.

With at least six billion in her bank account and properties such as houses and commercial buildings, her personal assets could easily exceed ten billion.

"Of course, that's the worst-case scenario. If you obtain Mr Lisa's forgiveness this time and continue to stay in this family until your

marriage to Wayne, you can earn another substantial dowry... Lady Logan previously mentioned that your dowry would be more than what Cath, her elder sister, received. If you receive around ten billion, your net worth will exceed twenty billion!" Scarlet continued.

How many wealthy socialites could boast a net worth of over twenty billion?

"And if Wayne also gives you some money and shares as a betrothal gift by then, just think about how high your net worth would be..."

Cecilia couldn't even imagine!

After hearing Scarlet's words, Cecilia's tears seemed to freeze in her eyes, forgetting to fall. She had never expected her assets to amount to such a large sum...

"So, we needed to replace a way to continue staying in the Logan family, make the Old Lady and the others happy, and willingly get them to spend money on buying things for you... Afterwards, we could sell these items and make a profit, even if it was just a penny." Previously, Cecilia had always thought Scarlet's idea was wrong. After all, those were things given to her by her own family from the bottom of their hearts. It had been difficult for her to let go and sell them. However, after Lisa's cold indifference this time, she finally nodded. "Once this storm passes, you can help me handle it. Just be cautious."

"Cecilia, don't worry! Leave everything to me. You can pretend that you know nothing. If by any chance you were discovered, I would take the blame for you," Scarlet said, looking at her with sympathy. "But for now, you have to endure being weak. Sigh, you had never experienced this kind of humiliation before, from childhood to

Cecilia's eyes welled up with tears again, her nose feeling sour. "If they were heartless, don't blame me for being unjust!" Showing weakness was only temporary...

Even if she had to leave, she would reap all the benefits and ruin Isabella before leaving!

Seeing Cecilia finally change her attitude this time, Scarlet was ecstatic internally but kept her composure on the surface.

"They thought Isabella and her biological daughter were talented, so they treated her like a precious gem... Speaking of which, it was all Isabella's fault. If she could have spoken up for you when Mr Lisa was reprimanding you, things would have been different!"

Cecilia smirked coldly. How will Isabella speak up for her? It would have been lucky if she didn't kick her while she was down!

Scarlet was right. It was all Isabella's fault. If Isabella had been easy to get along with, they could have at least been Families!

Being ordinary families would have been better than being enemies!

"In a couple of days, Mr Lisa would be going abroad. The Heilig Family had a child who died so the Old Lady would visit there frequently. It was the perfect opportunity to deal with Isabella..."

The Logan family members thought Isabella was so capable, right?

As long as they could discover Isabella's flaws or something that couldn't be erased...

“But if something happened to Isabella, Lisa would be the first to suspect us..."

What if those luxury items hadn't been sold yet, and Lisa kicked them out of the house...

"It's not like we were going to kill her. We just wanted to give her a taste of bitterness. I would replace someone to execute it flawlessly. Without evidence, Mr Lisa couldn't unjustly accuse us, right?"
