Chapter 1211

Her ability to quibble was truly something.

“You just did this to piss off Hailey Vulpe.”

Facing the direct accusation from Latonia, Hertha didn’t even flinch, then furrowed her brows,

pretending to be confused, “Pissing off Hailey? What does it have to do with Hailey?”

Latonia set down her cup, looking coldly at Hertha.

“The moment you entered Cedric’s apartment, Ms. Vulpe showed up. You must have known she was

coming, that’s why you staged this whole drama.”

Hertha acted as if she finally understood, she lowered her head in thought for a moment, then looked

straight into Latonia’s eyes.

“Mrs. Laurence, I bumped into Cedric on the street and took him home. During that time, I had no idea

Ms. Vulpe was coming. Did Cedric and Ms. Vulpe have a prior appointment?”

This point was indeed not mentioned by Cedric, so he and Hailey probably had no appointment.

Latonia remembered that she went to Cedric’s apartment right after she had a conversation with Hailey

that night.

Her quick action to find Cedric indicates that she took her advice to break up with Cedric.

It seems that Hailey seeing the intimate scene of Cedric and Hertha was also because of her.

For a moment Latonia could not find any other response, she had to remain silent.

“Judging by your expression, they didn’t have an appointment. If they didn’t, how could I possibly know

in advance that Ms. Vulpe would come to Cedric’s apartment?”

“If I didn’t even know she was coming, why would I want to piss her off?”

“Even if I wanted to use this incident to annoy Ms. Vulpe afterwards, it would definitely leave a record of

me seeking her out.”

“You can directly ask Ms. Vulpe if I ever sought her out.”

“If I didn’t, then you guys are just fabricating evidence to frame me!”

Listening to these words, Latonia’s face darkened.

“Ms. Hertha, I can’t guess your motives, but I know that I won’t let your slander against Cedric go

easily.”

Seeing Latonia signal the bodyguard again, Hertha retorted in fear.

“Mrs. Laurence, I did not slander Cedric. He really did sleep with me. Please don’t resort to violence

against me!”

Latonia ignored her and just looked coldly at the bodyguard.

“Beat her until she admits she did it!”

“Got it!”

The bodyguard started to beat Hertha, who was left bruised and battered, but she still firmly denied it.

“I didn’t slander Cedric, he really did sleep with me. Why don’t you guys believe me?”

Seeing this, Latonia ordered the bodyguard to beat her even harder.

Soon, Hertha was almost unconscious from the beating, but she still didn’t change her story.

“Mrs. Laurence, are you pressuring me like this because Cedric sleeping with me was discovered by

Ms. Vulpe, and you guys want to deceive Ms. Vulpe, so you’re forcing me to say he didn’t do it?”

Hertha, lying on the ground, her face covered in blood, still stared hard at Latonia.

At this moment, Hertha seemed genuinely unaware that Hailey had been there that night.

Facing such a stubborn and determined Hertha, even Latonia, who was convinced of the truth, started

to find it hard to distinguish between truth and lies.

But still, Latonia remained cool and resolute, looking coldly at Hertha, who was curled up in pain in the

corner.

“If my son says he didn’t touch you, then he didn’t touch you!”

Hearing this, Hertha sneered inwardly, but on the surface she played innocent, tearfully saying,

“Mrs. Laurence, just because Cedric says he didn’t touch me, does that mean it’s true?”

Her question stumped Latonia for a moment, and Hertha took the chance to say:

Is it possible that Cedric lost control after drinking and doesn’t remember, or he remembers but is afraid

that Ms. Vulpe will find out the

truth, afraid of losing Ms. Vulpe, so he lied? Otherwise, why would he tie me up here and force me to

say he didn’t do it?”

This argument was something Latonia didn’t expect. She had thought of Hertha as a weak girl she

could easily handle, but she didn’t expect that Hertha’s tactics, after her experiences abroad, had

already surpassed hers.

Arguing with Hertha would not only fail to produce a favorable result, but also fail to find any loopholes.

And she couldn’t really hurt Hertha. After a moment of thought, Latonia stood up from the sofa.

She walked over to Hertha, slowly squatted down, and gently lifted Hertha’s face with her hand.

Their eyes met, and a sharp look suddenly appeared in Latonia’s eyes.

“Ms. Hertha, as long as you admit that nothing happened between you and Cedric, your parents can

enjoy a peaceful and happy life in the future. If you don’t admit it, they might not be able to make it

through this winter…”
