Chapter 859
Cecily was crying in the car with snot and tears streaming down her face. Her makeup smudged messily across her eyes, making it hard to even look at her.
“Stop it! What are you crying for? Look at yourself! You’re so pathetic!” Cameron exclaimed, his nose flaring in irritation.
“Sob… Sob… What’s wrong with crying? I made a complete fool of myself in front of so many people. What’s wrong with shedding a few
tears?”
Cecily sniffed miserably, wiping away her tears. “Mr. Salvador is just too much… I fell right in front of him, and he didn’t even bother to help me up! How could he just ignore me like that? He’s only interested in that despicable Bella! She’s got him completely wrapped around her
finger!”
Cameron recalled Justin’s cold, indifferent gaze that was fixed on
Bella, and it fueled his anger.
“Dad… Mr. Salvador is definitely still hung up on Bella! What am I supposed to do?” Cecily sobbed.
“What kind of nonsense is that?! If he had still been interested in her, they wouldn’t have gotten a divorce! They got a divorce because they
couldn’t stand each other for another day!”
Cameron sighed heavily, his gaze darkening. “Right now, if you want to get closer to Justin, Bella isn’t your only obstacle! There’s also that girl from the Hoffman family!”
Thinking of Zoe, Cecily felt a headache coming on.
On top of that, rumors of a marriage alliance between the Hoffmans and Salvadors were circulating widely, fueled by Zoe’s recent scandal involving Justin in the hotel.
But for some reason, she always felt that Zoe, that inexperienced girl, was not much of a threat.
It was Bella who she was afraid of. Cecily felt like Bella was hovering over her like a sword ready to fall on her head, constantly giving her a sense of impending danger. Bella’s presence is like a bone stuck in her throat, like a thorn in her side, like sitting on pins and needles!
“Yeah… And that girl from the Hoffman family…”
Cecily sniffled, “Mr. Salvador is really something. I can understand if he favors Bella, but how can he still be tangled up with that Zoe girl? Am I not even as good as that brat?”
“You. You’re usually quite sharp, yet somehow oblivious in matters
the heart.”
Cameron disdainfully clicked his tongue. “Justin doesn’t see Zoe as his equal. Maybe this whole hotel rendezvous thing was just some scheme Zoe cooked up to marry Justin so that she could become the lady boss of the Salvador Corporation. If Justin really had feelings for
that Hoffman girl, why hasn’t he made any official announcements or
declarations yet? I don’t think this marriage alliance will actually
happen!”
Upon hearing this, Cecily had a sudden epiphany.
She always listened to her father, knowing he was a very decisive
person. Otherwise, he would not have stood a chance against her decisive and ruthless Uncle Wyatt.
“Well, since the Hoffmans can resort to such tactics, why can’t we? Right now, it’s better to seize the opportunity when it presents itself.” Cameron narrowed his eyes.
Cecily quickly asked, “Dad, what do you mean?”
“Cecily, as the saying goes, if you don’t let go of the bait, you’ll never catch the fish. If you don’t give up your dignity, you won’t get a rich
husband!”
Cameron patted Cecily’s shoulder heavily. “In my opinion, if you truly desire Mr. Salvador, you have to let go of your morals and take a risk.”
Morals? She never had them to begin with.
Take risks? That was definitely necessary.
If she was unwilling to take risks, how did she expect to marry Justin?
“Dad! My dear daddy, do you have any ideas in mind? Tell me quickly Cecily hooked her arm around Cameron’s and coquettishly asked.
“As things stand, your chances of privately meeting Justin are not
