Chapter 22 She Stole the Spotlight

At this point, Heather had no choice but to explain, “We all thought she’d been burned to death five years ago, but we didn’t think she’d survive and escape. She came back recently.
“Well, so that’s what happened!”
“Cecelia has become so beautiful after five years! I wonder if she is engaged.”
Heather felt depressed to see the attention of the guests shift to Cecelia.
Although Heather was a little upset, she didn’t show it on her face. Immediately, she put on a smile and walked up. “Gee! Cecelia, you’re back!”
Ophelia also saw Cecelia coming. She wondered why Cecelia had suddenly come uninvited.
Sean noticed the woman who walked in. He was shocked to hear Heather refer to her as Cecelia.
He was extremely shocked!
He had no idea Cecelia was alive. And he hadn’t heard the Linsey family say that she had returned alive.
When he suddenly saw Cecelia, he was stunned, guilty, and terrified.
At first, he thought he’d seen a ghost!
After all, he had set her up five years ago!
At that time, he wanted to burn Cecelia and the child in her belly. However, he didn’t expect her to be alive. Had Cecelia really come back alive?
Moreover, what he couldn’t believe was that Cecelia had changed so much that he didn’t dare to recognize her.
After all, five years ago, Cecelia was unattractive, simple, weak, and gullible.
However, now, Cecelia looked gorgeous. She had a wise and cold gleam in her eyes that made her look completely different from before!
He couldn’t believe his eyes!
