Chapter 41 She Has Gained the Upper Hand

“Miss Linsey, let’s go to the study then!”

Now Morris was a little afraid of her. He made a “please” gesture, and Cecelia walked with him toward the study.

Seeing that her husband had truly agreed to converse with her in private, she shouted, “Honey, what’re you doing? Is there anything you can’t talk about here? And you have to talk to the woman in the study?”

“Don’t make a fuss! Wait for me here!”

Morris reprimanded her and turned, taking Cecelia to the study.

Watching the two walk into the study one after the other, Jenny almost exploded.

What kind of trick was Cecelia playing?

What did she want to tell her husband?

What really happened on June 22 ten years ago?

In the study, Morris was no longer that arrogant as one of high. status, but slightly nervous.

Carrying a hint of warning in his tone, he whispered, “Miss Linsey, what do you really mean?”

“As soon as you hear my words, you’ll know what I mean. What did you do on June 22 ten years ago?

And where did you do it? I don’t think you want me to remind you, right?”

The inside stories of the incident from ten years ago were told in the anonymous messages sent to her.

Cecelia sneered, “If I told everything you did to the police, guess what would happen? Who would fall from high status with his reputation ruined?”

Morris was now panicky. He didn’t know how much this woman knew, but if she truly knew what he had done ten years ago and made everything public, he would have his downfall and lose his reputation.

“You dare!” he bared his teeth.

“Am I afraid of doing anything? I have nothing to lose, so I’m not afraid of anything. I’m just nobody.

Mrs. Quinsey has ruined my reputation. Senator Quinsey, you’re of high status and have great power.

Compared with you, I’m nothing indeed.”

Cecelia’s eyes turned colder. The two of them stared at each other for a few moments. Then Morris warned insidiously. “If you dare to Chapter 41 She Has Gained the Upper Hand

disclose them, I’ll make your life very hard! And you shall never dream about leaving the Quinseys’

house alive today!”

“Bang!”

Cecelia suddenly banged her palm on the table and shouted, “Senator Quinsey!”

Looking fierce, she said. “Your family bullied me, but you forced me to apologize. Is that fair? Now you also want to threaten to kill me! Do you really think I’m easy to bully as a woman?

“Since I dared to come barehanded, I don’t care if you’ll kill me! Will I be afraid of your family? Or you?

“Since you became an official, you’ve been upholding the banner of being incorruptible. But you have tens of millions of dollars behind the wall of this study. Where did you get the cash? Do you want me to tell you about their sources?”

Cecelia had decided to visit the Quinseys’ house. Of course, she had done enough investigation in advance. Only by finding out everything about Morris could she confront him without fear.

She would see if he would remain arrogant!

Morris opened his mouth a few times, his eyes full of shock and cold sweat running down.

Now he was so afraid of Cecelia. What was the background of this woman?

Why did she even know how much money he had behind the hidden. wall of his family’s study?

This was a war of nerves. Cecelia knew she had gained the upper hand.

She added, “Don’t worry, Senator Quinsey. I’m not here to disclose your secrets or make them public because I’m not interested.”

“Then… then what do you really want?” Morris asked again.

“I just want to reiterate one thing. Your son and wife bullied Andres Nelson. I want them to go to the Nelsons’ house to apologize, and I also want you to stop suppressing the Nelson Group.

“I promise you’ll continue being the senator. And you’ll even have a meteoric rise! Otherwise…

Morris didn’t have any other choice. After weighing the pros and cons for a while, he said solemnly, “Okay, I agree!”

The study door reopened, and Jenny almost fell in.

She had been leaning against the door, hoping to hear what was

going on inside. Anyway, she was afraid Morris would try to seduce her husband.

She took her husband a few inches away and asked nervously, “Honey, what did she tell you?”

Morris answered, “Miss Linsey has told me about all the details, Your really went too far. Our son bullied someone, but you didn’t tell him how to behave. Instead, you made impertinent remarks! So you’d better take our son to the Nelsons’ house to apologize in a while!” “What? You ask me to apologize to them?”

Jenny was stunned as if a bolt of thunder had struck her.

“Senator Quinsey, take your time to discuss it. I’ve got to go.”

Cecelia simply walked past Jenny, going outside with a straight back.

Everyone in the living room watched her leaving. No one dared to stop her.

After she left, Jenny made a scene. “Honey, make it clear! What did she tell you? You said you would help me, didn’t you? Why do you ask me to apologize?”

“Stop it! I ask you to apologize. Just do it! Don’t ask any more. questions!”

“Okay, I got it. The fox must have told you something. Have she and you done something filthy? Tell me!”

Jenny held Morris’s collar and began shaking him.

Morris pulled his wife’s hands away and slapped her. She was stunned.

“You slapped me?”

“Cool down! Stop making trouble for me! She has evidence against me in her hands. She can make me lose my status and reputation in minutes. If you don’t want me to fall from power, go apologize!”

Jenny was lost for words in shock. How could Cecelia have such terrifying abilities?

She could get evidence against her husband!

And her husband was even a little afraid of her?

Cecelia came out of the Quinseys’ house.

Seeing her come out untouched, Fredric immediately went up. “Miss Linsey!”

“Why did you come here, Mr. Ingerwood?”

“Mr. Nelson was worried. He asked me to come and take a look. How’re things going now? Did they give you trouble?” Fredric asked. “No, they didn’t. The Quinseys were all polite.”

Knowing this might be the credit of those inside information pieces he had sent over, Fredric added.

“Okay then. Please get in the car, Miss Linsey. I’ll drive you home!”

“No, thanks. I’m going to meet someone. You go back first.”

After that, she walked toward the luxurious Bentley in the distance. and then got in the car. Soon the car left.

Fredric stared with widened eyes for a while, a little shocked. This car was expensive. Whose car did Cecelia get into? Who was she gonna meet?

Fredric returned to the Nelsons’ house and reported everything to Remington. After hearing all that, the latter asked in a strange tone, “Are you saying that after coming out of the Quinseys’ house, she said she was going to meet someone and that she got in a Bentley?” “Right, sir!”

“Is the man who picked her up young, tall, and handsome?” “Yes, right.”

Remington fell silent, remembering that she had said she liked handsome young men. Was she really going to date a young guy?

A young guy who could afford a Bentley was surely from a rich family.

Thinking of that, he immediately became anxious. He felt like he was now a c uckold.

“Why didn’t you follow her?” he asked with some anxiety.
