“Certainly not!” Scarlet exclaimed sympathetically. “Don’t you remember? Last time, you were fooled by Mr Lisa’s words and foolishly believed they would treat everyone equally… If Mr Lisa truly regarded you as his family, he wouldn’t have warned you like that, and he wouldn’t have locked you up here like he did today.”

Cecilia smiled sorrowfully. If anyone knew that she had been locked in her room for self-reflection by Lisa…

It would be so embarrassing if it got out.

“Last time, I advised you to take advantage of their affection towards you and kick Isabella out of the Logan family or secure the greatest benefits for yourself. Alternatively, you could have become the most prominent woman with Mr. Mason. But you didn’t choose any of those paths. Instead, you came up with the most useless one: to get along with Isabella and please everyone in the Logan family…” Scarlet continued.

At this moment, Cecilia realized how foolish she had been to believe that she could genuinely be families with Isabella…

“If only I had listened to you earlier, things wouldn’t have escalated to this point. It was my unwillingness to give up, always holding onto a glimmer of hope and believing that Lisa and the others would truly treat me equally…”

“Ah, if they were fair, why would Mr Lisa have planted the Tibetan snow lotus, Isabella’s favourite flower, on her balcony before he called you to the terrace for a conversation?” Scarlet interrupted.

It didn’t seem like something Mr Lisa would do at all!

If he genuinely treated them equally, why did Isabella have flowers while Cecilia had none?

Wasn’t everything he gave to Isabella supposed to be what Cecilia had owned for the past eighteen years, such as planting flowers or giving her the four-leaf clover necklace? Cecilia had never had any of those things.

Cecilia didn’t know how long she had been crying. For the first time, she felt that her tears would never stop flowing.

Her heart was truly broken, filled with despair.
