If anything happened to his father, Noel wouldn’t even be able to save himself.
Would Cecilia be happy marrying him?
Impossible.
Sue said solemnly to the driver, “Let’s go home.”
When she reached home, Sue found Cecilia seated on the couch. Cecilia looked at Sue, her eyes filled with tears.
Heaven knew how long she had been crying.
Breaking up was always a painful thing.
Sue stepped forward, wanting to pat her daughter’s back.
Cecilia asked her, “Mom, did he really agree to break up with me? Did he not even try to fight for us?”
It seemed she was still harboring hope.
At Cecilia’s question, Sue’s admiration for Noel vanished without a trace.

She decided to lie to both of them.
She had lied to Noel that Cecilia was the one who asked for a break-up. Now, she was going to lie to Cecilia.
She took out the check for 450 thousand dollars, and showed it to Cecilia. “He didn’t take the check.”
Noel didn’t take the money! He wasn’t bought over by money!
Cecilia knew he wasn’t that poor. How could he not resist the temptation of money?
Cecilia smiled through her tears. “Seems like my taste in men is decent. Noel isn’t someone who would betray our
love for a meager 450 thousand dollars!”
Happiness and joy flashed past her eyes, but Sue’s following words immediately doused those feelings.
“He didn’t take this check,” Sue said without batting an eyelid, “but he took the one for 1.5 million dollars.”
Cecilia’s face changed, and it paled.
“1.5 million dollars?”
Haha.
450 thousand dollars wasn’t enough to break them apart.
But 1.5 million dollars was?
“I did my research,” Sue said, realizing that Cecilia believed her lies as hopelessness emerged in Cecilia’s eyes.
Her daughter was naive.
She simply said it in a serious tone, and Cecilia believed it without a doubt. This only convinced her that breaking
Cecilia and Noel apart was the best thing she could do.
How could a naive, rich heiress be with a butler’s son?
What’s more, Albert Carter wasn’t even a butler right now.
What achievements could he earn, staying in his orchard all day long?
Sue couldn’t bear for Cecilia to live in such conditions after getting married. The thought of how Cecilia ate in that
filthy condition at that time made Sue retch.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“What did you find?” Cecilia waited for Sue to explain herself, her eyes wide with expectation.
“Nothing,” Sue said with a sigh, looking as though she was put in a difficult spot. “Do you really want to know?”
Cecilia nodded, certain that it had something to do with Noel. “Yes, I do.”
“Noel’s salary isn’t low compared to how much an average man earns, but he has to slog for at least two years to
earn 1.5 million dollars. Now, he doesn’t need to do anything to get it. Do you really think he’ll be able to reject it?”
Ultimately, he chose money over her!
“Mom, say no more,” Cecilia said, no longer wanting to hear more. How could a man she loved so much betray her
so easily?
“Perhaps Noel treated me well with an ulterior motive right from the beginning,” Cecilia said as she wiped her tears
away, suddenly finding the root of the problem. “He thought that being a son-in-law of the Jarvis family would bring
him more money, and that he would benefit from being with me. But, it’s a pity.
“Thankfully you and Dad are good judges of character.
“Don’t worry. I see it clearly now. I’m not a good judge of character, and I’m willing to accept any marriage
arrangement you put in place. I’m fine with anyone, and I’ll marry any man you choose!”
