Bankrupt Tycoon? No Problem – This Villainess Will Make Him Rich Again

Chapter 178: Chapter 181: Revenge (3)

[Holy crap, far-fetched? This is practically hammering Cecilia Quincy into a pulp.]

[Cecilia Quincy, you spew those vicious lies so effortlessly. I was such an idiot for feeling sorry for you when you were whining to me... Damn it, I should feel sorry for myself right now. Knowing you is a permanent stain on my online history!]

[Oh, so that’s how it is. Cecilia Quincy, you dared to play me! To think I even sent you a Van Cleef & Arpels bracelet to cheer you up! Give it back, you hear me!]

The tide in the bullet-comment section had completely turned. The very people who were questioning Sonia Quincy at the beginning were now furiously hammering their keyboards to curse out Cecilia Quincy.

Sonia Quincy watched the endlessly scrolling bullet comments with satisfaction, then blinked and squeezed out a couple more tears.

"This incident made Mr. and Mrs. Quincy furious. As punishment, they made me kneel at the front gate of the Quincy home for an entire night. Then they slashed my monthly allowance from ten thousand all the way down to one thousand."

"But Cecilia Quincy still wasn’t satisfied. She was still looking for ways to torment me."

[Still tormenting her? Hold on, does Cecilia Quincy want her dead or something?]

[Oh my god. I always thought in these ’real vs. fake heiress’ stories, the fake one was supposed to be the evil one. I never imagined that the real heiress, Cecilia Quincy, could be so breathtakingly vicious!]

[SOB SOB SOB, my poor Bloom has suffered so much! Cecilia Quincy, go to hell!!!]

"Cecilia Quincy?"

After hearing Sonia Quincy’s second clarification, Ethan Lockwood’s form of address for Cecilia Quincy shifted from the affectionate "Cecilia" to a cold and distant "Cecilia Quincy."

Cecilia Quincy trembled, her eyes filled with panic as she looked at Ethan Lockwood.

"Ethan..." She took a step forward, attempting to get closer to Ethan Lockwood, but he sidestepped her, a look of revulsion in his eyes.

"..."

His movement was a dagger to Cecilia Quincy’s heart, and tears instantly burst forth like a broken dam.

"Ethan..." She looked at Ethan Lockwood, aggrieved and frightened. Her beautiful, tear-streaked face was the very picture of misery. "Ethan, I didn’t do it. I didn’t frame Sonia Quincy! This is all just a fabrication she created to slander me!"

"I didn’t! I really didn’t!"

"Hah..." Ethan Lockwood sneered. "You didn’t? But I recall you telling me that you distinctly saw Sonia Quincy at a second-hand watch shop."

Cecilia Quincy answered between sobs, "I... I really did see her. I wasn’t lying."

Ethan Lockwood said, "If you weren’t lying, then how do you explain the chat logs and the hair-dyeing video Sonia Quincy posted?"

"On the day of the incident, Sonia Quincy was at the hair salon the entire time. How could you have possibly seen her at the second-hand watch shop? Does she have a clone?"

"Th-this..." Cecilia Quincy gasped for air, stammering for a long moment before finally finding an excuse. "Maybe... I was mistaken..."

"’Maybe?’" The word made Ethan Lockwood laugh. "Cecilia Quincy, you were so dead certain when you told me about this. How did it suddenly become ’maybe’?"

"I... I don’t know." Unable to explain, Cecilia Quincy started playing dumb. "Ethan, I don’t know what’s going on! I don’t know where Sonia Quincy got that evidence!"

"I’ve never wrongly accused anyone... Never!"

"Cecilia Quincy!" Ethan Lockwood’s tone suddenly turned vicious.

Startled, Cecilia Quincy stumbled backward. "Ethan, stop pushing me!"

Ethan Lockwood roared, "How am I pushing you?! I’m giving you a chance to come clean!"

Cecilia Quincy screamed, "I have nothing to come clean about! Nothing!!"

After that shout, Cecilia Quincy turned to flee. Sonia Quincy’s clarifications were too terrifying; she truly didn’t have the courage to hear any more!

"Get back here!" Without moving from his spot, Ethan Lockwood shot out an arm and yanked Cecilia Quincy back.

"Sonia Quincy isn’t finished with her clarifications. You’re staying to listen with me."

The color instantly drained from Cecilia Quincy’s face.

"Those two incidents completely changed the course of my life, which is why I’ve clarified them in detail."

In the conference room, Sonia Quincy’s calm, unhurried voice sounded once more.

"As for the other, smaller incidents, I’ll address them all at once with an audio clip." As she said this, Sonia Quincy pulled up a pre-edited recording on her phone and turned the volume all the way up.

"Cecilia Quincy, I need an explanation from you..."

"An explanation? What right does an impostor like you have to demand an explanation from me?"

The voices of Sonia Quincy and Cecilia Quincy poured from the phone’s speaker, one after the other, resurrecting a long-buried past.

"If you say I did it, then I did it, I guess..."

The recording ended on that line from Cecilia Quincy. Sonia Quincy put her phone away and gave a wry smile to the livestream camera.

[Holy hell! Cecilia Quincy is unbelievably toxic!]

[Cecilia Quincy, you’re a damn good actress, aren’t you? Always acting all innocent and pitiful in front of us, but the second you’re with Sonia Quincy, you’re smug and arrogant. What are you, a f*cking sociopath with a split personality?]

[Wow, and that "If you say I did it, then I did it, I guess~." You sound pretty proud of yourself, don’t you, Cecilia Quincy?]

[Cecilia Quincy, I won’t let you bully my Bloom Preston like this! Get your ass out here and apologize!]

[Cecilia Quincy, you’re one ruthless bitch, aren’t you? You’d even hurt yourself and deliberately fall down the stairs just to drive Bloom Preston out of the house! You really are something else! (shows middle finger)]

While the livestream viewers’ outrage was at its peak, Sonia Quincy quickly pivoted to the next topic.

"As everyone knows, Ethan Lockwood of the Lockwood Group was once my fiancé. But how, exactly, did my fiancé end up becoming Cecilia Quincy’s boyfriend?"

"I have another recording I’d like to play for everyone."

No sooner had the words left Sonia Quincy’s mouth than another recording began to play in the livestream.

"Cecilia Quincy, you knew I was about to get engaged to Ethan Lockwood. Why did you still get involved with him?"

"Sonia Quincy, in love, the one who isn’t loved is the real third party! Haven’t you heard that before...?"

One after another, Cecilia Quincy’s bombshell quotes dropped on the livestream, leaving the hundred-thousand-plus viewers utterly gobsmacked.

[Oh my god! Is Cecilia Quincy even human? She’s a monster!]

[First she tries to drive her out of the house, now she’s stealing her fiancé. Cecilia Quincy, you really weren’t going to leave Sonia Quincy any way to survive, were you?]

[Hah, I suddenly understand why Sonia Quincy’s behavior was so erratic back then. If this had happened to me, I’d have gone even crazier than she did!]

[Hey, don’t just focus on cursing out Cecilia Quincy! Drag Ethan Lockwood into it, too! A cheating scumbag and a shameless homewrecker! Ptooey!]

[If Cecilia Quincy deserves five slaps, then Ethan Lockwood deserves a full-on beatdown! How dare those two monsters bully my Bloom Preston!]

Ethan Lockwood was currently Aethelburg’s most sought-after new business tycoon. He had even gone viral a few times before for his exceptionally handsome looks.

Sonia Quincy’s recording wasn’t long, but it was enough to drag the high-flying head of the Lockwood Group into a cheating scandal.
