The photos were screenshots from the surveillance video.

The man purposefully avoided the camera, preventing it from capturing his front face. However, after applying high-definition processing to his profile, some features became faintly visible.

Cecilia looked at it carefully and shook her head.

"I haven't seen him. Who is he? What does it have to do with Juliana?"

Christopher took his phone away and said, "I'm looking into it. But I haven't found any useful information yet."

Cecilia understood his predicament. They didn't even know what the man looked like. It was really hard to replace out information about him. "Chris, send me the photo. I'll be meeting Juliana later."

Christopher and Juliana were in a hospital.

He deliberately chose this place because it was convenient for him to make a move on Juliana.

"Let's go together."

Cecilia understood that Christopher wanted to make a move against Juliana.

This time, she didn't stop him.

"Okay."

Because she didn't want to put up with Juliana anymore! After saying that, she bandaged the wound with medicine again.

"This ointment is applied three times a day, and the stitches can be removed in three days. The scab will fall off in about one week."

Christopher hadn't anticipated Cecilia moving so swiftly. His words were still caught in his throat when he suddenly felt a chill creeping up his legs.

The next moment, the hospital blanket was back over him. Cecila hadeft expected Christopher to be only wearing underwear.

Christopher couldn't help but chuckle at Cecilia's hasty retreat. "How could Cecilia be so cute?" he thought.

Thinking that Cecilia was going to call a nurse, he hurriedly shouted, "Ceci, get the doctor here"

The nurse was a female, and the doctor was a male.

"Okay, noted."

Soon, the doctor came, but Cecilia didn't follow him.

Not long after, Christopher received a message from her.

[I'll go out and come back in about two hours.]

Instead of looking for Juliana, she went to the detention center to meet Joel.

Cecilia had made an appointment yesterday, so she met him very smoothly.

It was not long since Joel arrived at the detention center, but he had visibly lost weight. His eyes appeared sunken and had a vacant, bluish tint to them.

Seeing Cecilia, he asked in a low voice, "Why do you want to see me? Do you replace joy in seeing me in a state of desperation?" Cecilia didn't answer him and asked, "Did Juliana contact you after you took her blame? I'm afraid she didn't even make a call, right?"

"Cecilia, I'm already facing legal consequences. Why can't you let Juliana go? If you're here to manipulate me into saying something incriminating, you can leave."

After saying that with a hint of hostility, Joel stood up and was about to leave.

Cecilia immediately stopped him. "Joel, don't leave so fast. I found something interesting about you and Juliana.”

Logic urged Joel to depart swiftly and not entertain Cecilia's

nonsense.

But he wanted to know what Cecilia had found, so he hesitated for a moment and sat down again.

Joel was momentarily captivated by the video's correr, but his

heart sank.

After the video concluded, he clumped into a chair, feeling a though someone had delivered aherry blow to his head rendering him incapable of coherent thought Having accomplished her objective, Cecilia rose and depared without uttering a word.

Joel didn't come back to his senses until he was brought back to the detention room.

Reflecting on Juliana's kindness toward him, he concluded that it had been a ploy from start to finish. She had only wanted to exploit him, leaving him feeling utterly foolish He slapped himself hard in the face. Joel, you're so s**pid"

After berating and scolding himself, his eyes filled with intense hatred.

"Juliana, how could you be so vicious?"

She orchestrated someone to bully him, then presented herse as a savior.with an angelic facade, weaving illusions to lure him into a trap.

All so that he would commit wrongful acts on her behalf and shoulder her blame.

His life had been utterly shattered, yet the person responsible for it remained unscathed and untarnished.

Thinking of this, Joel got up and slammed the iron door hard. He shouted, "I want to appeal! I want to turn over my

confession!"

However, the appeal could not be completed overnight. It took

time to go through the process

And the outcome wouldn't necessarily turn out to be what he wanted.

Because Juliana was very skillful in her choice of words. She never explicitly asked him to do anything, always relying on hints instead

However, even if it couldn't alter the outcome, he was

determined to ensure that everyone discovered the true nature of the heart concealed beneath Juliana's exterior!

Noon, Cecilia received the news that Joel was planning to appeal

She wasn't surprised, as she had anticipated this outcome.

At this time Juliana didn't know that Joel was going to change his confession

She was swiping her phone angrily and said in her heart, "Why is Cavila so fortunate? I crafted such a meticulous plan, yet she still managed to come out alive. And as for that foolish Jackson, he can't even handle simple tasks. I can't believe he even loses in his expertise, racing cars!"

The door of the ward was pushed open as soon as she finished

Jackson strode in with a gloomy face.

After Cecile le, he checked the criminal case she mentioned.

He discovered that she had a near-miss with a car this morning and almost got stabbed

you can win."

The only way he could win was that Cecilia didn't show up on the field.

So he came to see Juliana.

Upon spotting Jackson, Juliana's malicious expression vanished instantly, replaced by one of concern. "Jack, it doesn't matter if you lose the game. Even if everyone does not understand you, I will stay with you." As soon as she finished speaking, Jackson grabbed her by her

collar.

The coldness in his eyes scared her.

He had never looked at her like this before.

"Jack, you... What's wrong with you?"

Looking at Juliana, who was terrified and delicate, Jackson unconsciously loosened his grip.

But the expression on his face was still sullen, and his eyes fixed on Juliana.
