Chapter 1753 The One Who Hurt Her Is Ste


    "Ste, it''s been a while."


    Cecilia looked at Ste with a smile that didn''t quite reach her eyes.


    Ste felt a chill run down her spine at the way Cecilia was looking at her and the words she spoke.


    "Ceci..."


    "It''s better if you just call me Cecilia. We''re not that close. In fact, we''re more like enemies."


    Ste slowly clenched her fists. "Ceci, back then, it wasn''t just my decision. Nichs forced me."


    "So you just do whatever he tells you to do?" Cecilia retorted. "Is that your exnation for this? Taking my children away, leaving me in a state worse than death?"


    Ste was trembling with fear. Even though the weather was quite cool, her forehead was slick with a sheen of sweat.


    "I''m sorry, Ceci, I was wrong. I promise I won''t do it again. Please, give me another chance."


    "I''ve already let you off the hook once. If I do it again, it would be sheer folly on my part!" Cecilia stated, emphasizing each word.


    After hearing this, Ste turned and fled toward the filming site.


    Cecilia simply watched her run off, not ordering anyone to go after her.


    However, after Ste finished shooting the first half of the scene, she was forcibly chased out of the filming location.


    Cecilia was sitting in the car, pinching the bridge of her nose as she listened to Sven''s report.


    "How should we proceed?" Sven asked her.


    "Let''s first bring her down from her pedestal first," Cecilia suggested.


    The past year had taught her a valuable lesson - in life, one couldn''t afford to be


    too softhearted. Sometimes, one had to be ruthless.


    Tit for tat is fair y.


    "All right."


    Sven understood what she meant.


    Nowadays, the way Cecilia handled matters was very simple. After giving


    instructions to Sven, news about Ste being cklisted started to circte on all major websites.

    had previously signed either

    In the span of a single day, Ste had once again transformed back into a pariah.


    She called Cassandra for help, only to find out that Cassandra had been arrested.


    Left with no choice, she tried to call Nichs again. However, to her dismay, she found out that Nichs had blocked her number.


    "What should I do?" Ste sat on the couch,

    One of them even revealed, "Ste, you''ve offended the Jamieson and Rainsworth families. Who would dare to help you now?"


    Ste was on the verge of tears. "Didn''t you say you''d do anything for me before?"


    A scoff came from the other side. "You think you''re some celestial goddess? It''s all just an act; don''t take it seriously!"


    The call was then promptly ended.


    Ste slumped onto the couch bonelessly. She was aware that being cklisted


    was just the beginning, with more events yet to unfold.


    At the same time, Nathaniel and Zachary also learned of the things that Ste had done in the past.


    After they had spoken with Cecilia,、 they held off on taking any action for the time being, deciding to wait for


    Cecilia to make the decision?

    Ste''s news also caught Queenie''s attention, and she summoned Cecilia.


    "Ceci, there''s something I want to tell you."


    Cecilia took a seat beside her. "What is it?"


    "Do you still remember what happened at your friend Vivian''s wedding?" Queenie asked her.


    Cecilia nodded.


    How could she possibly forget something so important?


    Up until now, it was still unknown who exactly was the person that harmed Vivian.


    Only then did Queenie speak up. "The one who hurt Vivian was none other than Ste!"


    Shock was evident in Cecilia''s eyes. "Really? How did you know?"
