Chapter 409: Stop Pretending to Be an Innocent Girl
Accept defeat? Deal with the consequences?
Cecilia Vaughn has the audacity to bring up those words!
Chloe Alden lowered her eyelashes and pretended to admit her mistake, but her palm swung straight towards Cecilia Vaughn!
"You’re the real bitch! Watch me beat you to death! Cecilia Vaughn! You’re the most laughable slut in the world!"
Chloe Alden was like a madwoman, her rage causing her eyes to crack as she screamed at Cecilia Vaughn!
However, Cecilia Vaughn’s agility was not something Chloe could match, and she swiftly dodged with alertness.
Caught off guard, Chloe Alden’s entire body lurched forward, resulting in a hard fall face-first!
...
Watching Chloe Alden sprawled out on the ground in disgrace, Cecilia Vaughn felt not an ounce of sympathy.
Cecilia Vaughn looked down at her from above with disdain, and directly planted her foot on Chloe Alden’s back like a queen, making it impossible for her to get up.
"Trying to hit me? Oh, so Eldest Miss Alden is someone who can’t accept losing?"
At this moment, Chloe Alden was truly going insane!
Her body shook violently, wishing she could chop Cecilia Vaughn into pieces!
"Cecilia Vaughn! You shameless madwoman, take your foot off me!"
"Ah, I’ll kill you! Kill you!"
Compared to Chloe Alden’s ghostly madness, Cecilia Vaughn’s expression remained cold and indifferent, even her tone was as calm as a serene lake.
"Kill me? Go ahead, try if you dare!"
Cecilia Vaughn let out a light laugh, at the same time, with a faint gesture of her slender hand, she tucked the messy hair beside her temples behind her ear.
Even with her foot still on Chloe Alden’s back, her movements appeared both elegant and domineering, her androgynous aura nearly capable of making everyone scream!
Everyone present stared at the scene in shock.
Clearly, they hadn’t expected Cecilia Vaughn to be this ruthless.
But, there was nothing discordant about it!
Instead, it made people want to kneel down and beg for the favor of the queen!
She was simply too cool! No movie villainess could compare to Cecilia Vaughn at this moment!
She didn’t need to expose even a sliver of skin; instead, her high-level cold allure seemed engraved in her bones, constantly drawing people in!
...
Fiona Vaughn was stunned to see Cecilia Vaughn dare to be so arrogant.
"Sister, how can you step on Chloe like this! Won’t you move your foot away!"
"Chloe, are you alright!"
Fiona Vaughn’s face carried soft and emotional tearful light, seeming to speak up for Chloe Alden, yet even in this face-to-face confrontation, every bit of anxiety and every ounce of frailness on Fiona’s face seemed meticulously calculated; her every expression was so beautiful, so pitiful.
—Like a delicate painted artwork, it wouldn’t look ugly due to any grim expression, as if an artist had crafted her performance beforehand.
Cecilia Vaughn cast a cold glance at Fiona Vaughn.
Her chin slightly raised, fully revealing the arrogance inherent in her demeanor.
"What, you want to plead for Chloe Alden? Want me to release her, well then! Let her fulfill the earlier bet, the loser must slap herself ten times and shout that she’s a bitch!"
Fiona Vaughn’s face turned red and white in an instant, as if Cecilia Vaughn’s shamelessness had shocked her, leaving her fumbling awkwardly with her fingers.
"Sister... aren’t you being too aggressive... Let’s call it quits, Chloe has been bullied like this by you, can’t you let her go?"
"Let her go? Wasn’t the content of this bet proposed by Chloe Alden herself? How come, now that she made an irrevocable promise, I’m the bad person for insisting she uphold it?"
Cecilia Vaughn let out a cold chuckle from the corner of her mouth.
"Sister... that’s not what I meant... you misunderstood me..."
Fiona Vaughn’s face was pale like water, her slender shoulders trembling constantly, her big beautiful eyes now brimming with tears, seemingly about to break hearts.
"Sister, just blame it on me for not stopping the bet earlier, it was my fault, I beg you, please let her go, sister also wouldn’t want a reputation for being heartless, right?!"
"Heartless? Indeed, even if I’m heartless, it’s because you pushed me to be!"
Cecilia Vaughn stared coldly at Fiona Vaughn’s alluring face, gladly accepting the heartless label.
If I’m going to be the villain, then I’ll be the worst!
Seeing Fiona’s eyes brimming with pea-sized tears, biting her lip with tears seemingly ready to fall, Cecilia Vaughn couldn’t help but deepen the irony.
"Fiona Vaughn, since you have such a kind heart and are good sisters with Chloe Alden, why not take her place in fulfilling the bet?"
Fiona Vaughn’s exquisitely painted face instantly stiffened.
But Chloe Alden’s face showed a hopeful expression.
"Fiona, you have to save me!"
Seeing Chloe Alden actually hoping to make her a scapegoat, Fiona Vaughn’s expression tightened, becoming extremely awkward.
"Sister, you’re joking, right? I... I’m pregnant with Tyson’s child, how can you be so cruel to a pregnant woman?"
Always straightforward, Mona Summers scoffed with disdain.
"What a convenient excuse, being pregnant is such a useful shield."
Fiona Vaughn’s lips tightened further, her brows and eyes reddening, her eyes constantly shimmering with vulnerable tears, her whole demeanor turning delicate like a fragile willow.
"I’m not... but... I really can’t say those words... Sister, don’t force me, okay?"
Cecilia Vaughn observed Fiona Vaughn with a faint smile.
"Oh, so you and Chloe Alden agreed to the bet, even made such a wager, and it’s all because we forced you?"
Fiona Vaughn was instantly speechless.
Many Veridia nationals around had witnessed the entire scene; after hearing Cecilia Vaughn’s words, they all stood with her.
Fiona Vaughn might appear frail, but she had agreed to be Chloe Alden’s ally at the outset and now acts like an innocent ignorant girl?
...
Chloe Alden was very clear at heart that Fiona Vaughn wouldn’t take the blame for her, feeling desperate and sad, yet unable to fathom Cecilia Vaughn’s inexplicable strength, pressing her down unable to rise.
"Cecilia Vaughn! You shrew! Filthy! Shameless!"
Chloe Alden trembled with rage, and seeing her like this, Cecilia Vaughn suddenly lifted Chloe Alden’s hair, smiling coldly.
"Have you cursed enough? Eldest Miss Alden, since you refuse to fulfill your promise, then I’ll have to show you what pain means!"
Cecilia Vaughn gave Mona Summers a meaningful glance, which Mona quickly interpreted, bringing over a pair of scissors!
Chloe Alden was shocked to the point of nearly losing her sight!
"Cecilia Vaughn, what are you doing—"
