Julian's Stand in Wife

Chapter 1498

Chapter 1498

Noel thought about entering the room to check on her, but he didn't know what identity to assume while doing so.

Was he a friend? Or fiance, based on Sue's words?

Cecilia lay on the bed, her face pale. Desolation flickered in her eyes.

"Do you find me disgusting?"

Noel had hesitated, but he hadn't meant for Cecilia to interpret his actions that way. "I'll go call someone for help."

He didn't explain further, and turned to leave the room.

Soon, a servant came upstairs. Cecilia looked behind the servant but found no sign of Noel.

He had left.

Even if her mother had agreed to her request and brought up the marriage with Noel, he didn't agree.

Sue sat downstairs, still feeling uneasy. As she dressed and applied makeup, she used the time to calm her panicked

heart.

However, Cecilia's words lingered in her ears. "Mom, I've been violated. If you don't let Noel marry me, I'll kill

myself!"

"Madam," the servant reminded her as she seemed lost in thought. "Mrs. Lambert, whom you're scheduled to

meet, is already here..."

"Alright." Sue picked her favorite blue ice crystal from her jewelry, and quickly went out to meet Mrs. Lambert.

She handed the crystal to her with a smile and said, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Lambert. Cecilia... has already fallen in love

with someone. I invited you over without considering it thoroughly and didn't understand my daughter's feelings..."

Before she could finish, Mrs. Lambert's expression changed drastically. She didn't accept Sue's friendly gesture.

"Which family is this young man from?"

Sue knew Mrs. Lambert would ask this question.

Reluctantly, she had to answer, "It's not..."

A trace of embarrassment flashed across her face, and she changed her mind. "It's the Fulchers..."

"The Fulcher family?!"

Mrs. Lambert didn't wait for Sue to finish her sentence. Her eyes widened. "I've heard that the Fulchers have an

illegitimate son. Could this person be the one your daughter likes?"

The Fulcher family had an illegitimate child?!

Doubt flashed in Sue's eyes, but she concealed it well. "Yes, exactly."

Sue hastily agreed. She didn’t want others to look down on them because of Noel's identity.

"Oh my..." As soon as Mrs. Lambert heard that the young

man Cecilia had fallen in love with was related to the Fulcher family, her complexion changed slightly.

However, she quickly changed her unpleasant expression from entering the door and started chatting with Sue.

Facing her enthusiasm, Sue was truly surprised that the Fulcher family could still have such influence.

Originally...

Because of Jim, Sue didn't want to have any connection with the Fulchers.

However, with Cecilia in such a situation, avoiding involvement was no longer an option.

At Larry's house, Noel had already broken ten of Larry’s fingers. Since Sue wouldn't step up to play the villain, he

had to do it himself.

"You said you didn't touch her?"

Larry cried in pain, thinking that Cecilia was just a girl from the slums who would be infatuated with him for some

benefits.
