Chapter 1808 The Intentions Of Yuliana

Heather was nothing more than a picture of helplessness. Alphonse and Bethany, who had lived long enough to deal with all sorts of shameless people, were hardly fazed.

Bethany let out a cold chuckle before turning to Cecilia. "Ceci, don't waste your time on her. If she wants to make a scene, let her. We should head inside and get some rest."

Cecilia nodded immediately. "All right."

Without another word, the group left Heather standing at the doorstep as they walked inside. Heather stood frozen in place, torn between leaving and barging in.noveldrama

Charlotte hesitated before shutting the front door. She then spoke in a serious tone, "Madam, have some sense of shame. You should go home and take care of yourself."

Heather's face drained of color. Furious, she erupted into a loud tirade right outside the villa. "You bunch of scoundrels! Stealing my daughter's property and leaving an old woman like me out in the cold! You'll all get what's coming to you!"

She cursed one insult after another, her voice ringing through the air. But the mansion was massive. Once they were inside, her shouting became little more than a faint noise in the background.

"Inside the living room, Cecilia's face was filled with embarrassment. ""Mom, Granddad, Granny, I'm sorry you had to see that.""

Bethany stepped forward, taking her hand. "Silly child, what are you even saying?" she chided gently. "We're family. There's no need for apologies." Neither she nor Alphonse felt anything but sympathy for Cecilia.

Hearing those words, Cecilia was deeply moved, her eyes glistening with emotion. "Granny, thank you."

Bethany patted her head with a fond smile. "Silly girl."

Alphonse came over as well. "Ceci, don't overthink it. At our age, we've seen it all. Situations like this? Child's play."

Cecilia nodded.

Queenie also chimed in, "Exactly. We love you more than anything. Let us face this together."

The fact that Cecilia was now a grown adult and Heather still dared to harass her-one could only. imagine how terribly she must have been treated as a child.

Cecilia was touched, her heart full. "Okay."

Charlotte then beamed. "Granddad, Granny, Mdm. Queenie, and Ms. Yuliana, dinner's been ready for a while now. Let's eat."

"All right."

The group gathered around the large dining table, the warm atmosphere of family filling the air.

Yuliana, however, barely touched her food. After a few bites, she stood up. "I'm full. Where's my room? I'd like to rest."

Seeing how little she ate, Queenie frowned. "Yuliana, do you not like the food? Or are you just exhausted from the flight?"

With her elders present, Yuliana remained polite. "I guess I'm just not that hungry. I'm feeling a bit tired and want to sleep."

Cecilia immediately had a

Cecilia still had her doubts about Yuliana's visit. But as long as Yuliana wasn't

hurting herself or anyone else, Cecilia didn't care enough to interfere.

The next day, Cecilia took Alphonse and Bethany on a leisurely tour around Tudela. Queenie, however, made an excuse to leave early. She wanted to join in on the fun, but her body simply couldn't keep up. Left with no choice, she went straight to the hospital instead.

After examining her, the doctor sighed. "The best course of action would be hospital treatment. Given your condition, going home really isn't an option."
