Chapter 2173

Cecilia learned about the arrest from Norman, the news hitting her like a shock of ice water.

For now, posting bail was impossible.

“Mr. Jenkins, please look into this,” Cecilia said, her voice steady but tight. “Charlotte never hurt Felix.”

Norman shifted the briefcase at his side, straightened his tie, and met her gaze with composed assurance. “Ceci, don’t worry. I’ll dig until every piece of evidence is out in the open. You have my word.”

Cecilia lowered her head in quiet gratitude. “Mm.”

Yet even after that small nod, unease pressed heavily against her chest.

She knew all too well how ruthless Miranda could be. Given the slightest opening, that woman would pursue Charlotte without mercy.
