For a moment, Sue couldn’t bring herself to speak.
But Cecilia was now in her room, having faced yet another unfortunate event.
Sue dared not think about how bad the situation had been.
All she knew was that her daughter was ruined-truly ruined this time.
Sue clenched her fists, looking at Noel. “It’s simple. Do you still like Cecilia?”
Noel remained silent.
From his silence, Sue detected a glimmer of encouragement.
“Noel, marry Cecilia. Someone will come over shortly, and I’ll announce your wedding date.”
Noel’s eyes widened, and there was mockery in his eyes.
“Mrs. Jarvis, have you forgotten that I took money from your family? Aren’t I just a greedy man who was
interested in money, and wanted a woman who could care for me?”
In reality, he never took that money.
Sue had lied about it to encourage Cecilia to break up with him. Facing Noel’s scorn in person, she felt
as if someone had slapped her in the face. She was so ashamed, she couldn’t say a word.
But for the sake of her daughter, she still spoke, “Mr. Carter, I apologize. You saw the state Cecilia was
in. She’s really not suitable to meet anyone. Also, a prospective marriage candidate arranged I have
arranged for is coming over soon, rt It would be easier if it were just the young man.
Unfortunately, she had also invited the young man’s mother to show extravagance.
Normally, the wealthy ladies would gather to play cards. Now, the young man’s mother had brought him
along.
It would be difficult to explain if Cecilia didn’t come down to meet them. They might even come upstairs
to check on her if she claimed Cecilia was ill.
And in Cecilia’s current state, it wasn’t appropriate for her to meet anyone.
However, Sue had already made an appointment, and the agreed-upon time was just a few minutes
away.
If they found out about Cecilia’s current situation…
Sue dared not think about it.
Originally, Cecilia’s previous bout of madness had already been a touchy subject.
Now, with her current situation…
Sue thought of the red marks on Cecilia’s legs when Noel had carried her over earlier, and her heart
clenched painfully.
“Noel, I’m begging you. Whatever amount of money you want, we’ll give it to you.” Sue looked at him.
“Please marry her.”
Noel did think about marrying Cecilia before. However, he had never imagined it would happen under
these circumstances.
Noel looked at Sue. “With Ms. Jarvis’s current condition, it’s not an appropriate time to talk about
marriage. My men have the scum who hurt her under control in his own home. If you rush over now and
make a scene…”
“Absolutely not!”
Sue suddenly became agitated. She had always prided herself on being dignified, but now, she had lost
even that. All that remained was panic and reluctance.
“A woman’s reputation is very important! Cecilia has come to this point largely because she didn’t cherish
herself.”
In a short period, Sue had already planned out Cecilia’s future.
“The celebrities and the wealthy in Richburgh wouldn’t dare to accept her now.
Even if someone wanted to marry her, I wouldn’t dare let her go.”
Cecilia’s illness and this recent incident would explode into a scandal if either of them became known.
Sue had to make a difficult decision for her daughter amid these considerations.
She sighed. “I love her very much! I’m the only one truly looking out for her.”
Noel was angered by Sue’s words, and retorted, “You love her so much that you won’t even hold that
scumbag accountable? You love her so much that now you’re in a hurry to dispose of your daughter like
you’re taking out the trash?”
Suddenly, Noel understood now.
“No wonder when Cecilia was in trouble, she called me first. It turns out that even if you called her, you
wouldn’t have helped!”
Sue couldn’t focus on these details now. She could also sense the sarcasm in Noel’s words, but she was
more concerned about the Jarvises’ reputation.
“Our families are different.”
Sue found her justification, and continued, “Noel, there are many times when the reputation of families
like ours is more important than anything else.”
If Cecilia had behaved and hadn’t fallen for Julian…
If she hadn’t hooked up with Noel…
If she had followed Sue’s advice immediately after realizing she had chosen the wrong match on the
blind date and never met with Larry…
Cecilia wouldn’t be in this state right now!
