Mr. Law's Official Announcement: He is a Wife-Doting Fanatic!

After Cecilia Vaughn was released from prison, she changed her phone number. Not many people knew it.

A frantic male voice quickly sounded on the other end of the line.

”Cecilia Vaughn, how could you let the Alden family’s eldest daughter end up in a detention center! Do you even know who Chloe Alden’s father is?!”

”She’s the daughter of the mayor! How are we supposed to establish Radiant Group in Stellerton with you doing something like this?!”

”You troublemaker! Just got out of prison and you’re already causing chaos everywhere. Do you want your father dead?”

It was Gregory Vaughn!

Cecilia Vaughn was taken aback. It had been a long time since she heard from Gregory Vaughn after he caused a scene at Prescott Hospital.

The girl’s almond-shaped eyes were cold, her voice carrying a touch of sarcasm.

”It’s really something that you still remember you’re my father, Gregory Vaughn. Since you know Chloe Alden is in detention, don’t you care about your daughter who almost drowned because of her in the river?”

”Who exactly shares your bloodline, Chloe Alden or me?”

...

Being called by his name by Cecilia, Gregory Vaughn’s throat tightened, almost wanting to throw something.

This rebellious daughter!

Gregory Vaughn took a deep breath. He knew Cecilia had always responded better to softness than force. He suppressed his anger, softening his tone.

”Cecilia, it’s not that I don’t care about you. Aren’t you fine now?”

”But the Alden family’s eldest daughter is currently in detention. Imagine what she’s going through there! You know her background. Couldn’t you just endure it?”

Endure?

When her mother passed away, Fiona Vaughn and Florence Warner, that malicious mother-daughter duo, came to the Vaughn Residence and took over the rooms of her and her brother. Gregory Vaughn asked her to endure it.

Later, when Fiona frequently bullied her, Gregory said Fiona was her sister and asked Cecilia to endure it.

And now, even after Chloe Alden nearly got her killed, Gregory still advises her to endure?

In Gregory Vaughn’s eyes, was she just a puppet on strings, or a real person with life in her?

She was a person too, with feelings and pain!

She was also selfish, desiring a complete family, craving her father’s love...

But those desires ultimately became nothing more than a fantasy...

...

Hearing Gregory Vaughn’s self-righteous tone, Cecilia tightly gripped the phone, a dull pain in her heart.

How ridiculous, the father she idolized for over a decade was the one who broke her heart the most.

Unable to distinguish between heartache and numbness, Cecilia pursed her lips, her beautiful face seemingly covered in frost.

”Father, since you think endurance is the essence of life, why don’t you advise Miss Alden to come to terms with it and spend the rest of her life enduring in prison?”

”You—”

Gregory Vaughn was so angry he nearly spat blood, forcibly restraining the rage surging in his heart, trying once again with a gentle approach.

”Cecilia, are you trying to drive Radiant Group to ruin?”

”Do you not know that Chloe Alden’s mother holds a significant amount of shares in Radiant Group too? If it weren’t for the support from the Alden family, do you think Radiant Group would’ve thrived so well in Stellerton these past two years?”

As he spoke, Gregory Vaughn seemed extremely emotional, playing on feelings and reason, even bringing up Cecilia’s deceased mother, Wendy Sutton.

”Cecilia, Radiant Group is the last thing your mother left me. I want to protect it well, want to protect the home for you and Evan. Can’t you give Miss Alden a chance?”

”She’s so young. If her record is tarnished, do you know how many people will gossip behind her back, and how much it will backlash onto our Vaughn family’s business?”

Gossip behind her back?

She was only eighteen when she went to prison, just an adult, way more innocent and pitiful than Chloe Alden!

How did Gregory never think about how miserable his own daughter had it, yet he sympathized with outsiders?

Cecilia’s lips curled into a cold smile, directly exposing Gregory Vaughn’s facade.

”Father, isn’t it a bit absurd to play the family card at this moment?”

”I seem to remember that neither Mother nor Grandfather planned to leave Radiant Group to you. Instead, they talked about transferring the shares to me?”

Upon hearing this, Gregory Vaughn was shocked. This little girl was still fixated on the assets!

”Cecilia, you’re still young. I’m managing it for your own good, and you aren’t married yet.”

Cecilia asked indifferently.

”What if I were married?”

Gregory awkwardly evaded.

”Cecilia, that’s not a joke anyone can casually make! You can’t just decide to get married like that.”

Holding the phone, Gregory’s expression grew increasingly grim.

—He had wasted so many words, yet Cecilia remained unmoved, sounding impossibly calm, even terrifyingly indifferent!

Was this still the weak, easily manipulated girl from three years ago?

...

”Father just wants to ask you, what would it take for you to let the Alden family’s eldest daughter go? Radiant Group can’t afford any mishaps right now!”

Cecilia leaned against Adrian Law’s embrace, her voice clear and cold as shattered ice.

”The Alden family wants to ransom someone, right? Actually, I’m quite lenient myself...”

”But after falling into the water, I have to go to Prescott Hospital for a full check-up. Oh, you should remember I’m scared of water. This incident caused me severe mental distress, so the Alden family should compensate for my loss. Only then will I let it go.”

Cecilia understood that the matter could be blown big or kept small. Considering the Alden family’s tactics and the fact that Fiona fell into the water first, it might not be enough to bring Chloe Alden to ruin.

In that case, she might as well demand a hefty sum.

...

Hearing this, Gregory Vaughn realized there was a turning point and was overjoyed.

”Cecilia, how much do you want? I’ll talk to the Alden family now.”

Cecilia nonchalantly flicked her fingers.

”Not too much, not too little. The examination fees, nutrition fees, follow-up maintenance fees, plus compensation for mental distress. Let’s say three million should cover it.”

”...”

Three million!

Why doesn’t she just go rob a bank!

Gregory Vaughn was taken aback. Who would’ve thought Cecilia would demand so much money right off the bat!

”Cecilia, this is extortion! The Alden family would never agree to such an amount—”

Cecilia chuckled lightly, her laughter like that of a devil’s.

”Oh, not willing? Then Miss Alden can just remain inside. Since you sympathize with her so much, you can take her place.”

”Think it over. I’m hanging up.”

Without waiting for Gregory Vaughn’s response, Cecilia ended the call first.

...

The busy tone sounded, and Gregory Vaughn, his face livid with rage, flung the phone away!

This troublesome girl has really grown wings now!

Does she still have the nerve to make such outrageous demands!

Fortunately, he had ruthlessly burned the stock agreements left by Wendy Sutton and Martin Sutton back then!

Don’t blame him for being a tough father. What use is Cecilia, a little girl? Only he can lead Radiant Group to better development!

...

Gregory Vaughn’s gaze became even more ruthless as he coldly ordered the servant.

”Quick, call Lawyer Lynch over!”

It seems certain plans need to be expedited!
