Slowly Falling into His Love Trap

Chapter 468: Chapter 468: The Shortcut to Becoming Mrs. Keaton

"I don’t think it’s all a burden," Cecilia Lynch whispered, "Although I don’t have money, I have experience doing odd jobs. In the future, I can also go out to negotiate business and contribute to The Keaton Family’s work. Moreover, I’m very good at cooking and cleaning, and in the future, I will be filial to you and uncle."

Pausing for a moment, she continued, "Maybe, if Julian marries a lady, it can help him. But if he doesn’t love her, and they live unhappily, wouldn’t that make him suffer for the rest of his life?"

"Love?" Mrs. Keaton responded as if she’d heard a very amusing joke, "Julian is only feeling fresh about you right now. Do you think that love is deep?"

Before Cecilia Lynch could speak, Mrs. Keaton continued, "And back then, he directly gave you money to be his mistress, which already clearly showed that he understood the gap between you and her. You’ve been together for so long, but you’ve always been unable to see the light of day. How do you have the face to stand in front of me and talk about love justly?"

Hearing Mrs. Keaton’s questions, Cecilia Lynch’s face turned exceptionally gloomy.

Her appearance as Julian Keaton’s mistress was a shadow she could never shake off in her lifetime.

"I don’t want to waste words with you!" Mrs. Keaton said coldly, "I have two paths for you to choose from."

Cecilia Lynch responded obediently, "Please say it."

"The first path, leave Julian," Mrs. Keaton demanded with a tone of command, "I will find a place for you and your mother to live well, giving you enough money for your lifetime, only if you never show up again!"

"Auntie," Cecilia’s heart twisted in pain, "What’s the second path?"

Mrs. Keaton’s gaze narrowed as she stood up, walked in front of Cecilia, and looked her up and down with a face of deep complexity.

The air in the bedroom seemed to suddenly freeze, eerily silent, so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard.

Mrs. Keaton gently parted her thin lips and lowered her voice: "The second path is, I want you to ruin the relationship between Evelyn Morgan and Caden Lockwood."

Upon hearing this, Cecilia’s eyes trembled in disbelief as she looked at Mrs. Keaton, her legs giving way, causing her to take a big step back.

Ruin Evelyn Morgan and Caden Lockwood’s happiness?

Why?

What does her situation with Julian Keaton have to do with Evelyn Morgan and Caden Lockwood?

"Evelyn trusts you the most. If you can separate her and Caden Lockwood, make her break up with Caden, then I’ll let you become Mrs. Keaton," Mrs. Keaton spoke in a benevolent tone, as if she was already making the final concession.

"Why?" Cecilia asked in confusion, "What does Evelyn and Caden’s relationship have to do with my relationship with Julian? No way! I absolutely cannot betray Evelyn!"

"You don’t need to know the reason." Mrs. Keaton gave Cecilia a glance, "Cecilia Lynch, I have many ways to drive you away, but I haven’t reached the extremes yet. If you are dead set on marrying into The Keaton Family and ruining Julian, I can’t guarantee I will remain as calm as I am now."

"Auntie..."

"When you left a few days ago, I thought you still had some self-awareness," Mrs. Keaton scoffed coldly, "But I didn’t expect that when you came back, you had already transformed, wanting to become Mrs. Keaton? How shameless are you?"

Cecilia stood still, her hands tightly clenched into fists, with tears welling up in her eyes.

Loving a man of noble status, is that shameless?

"Which path will you choose?" Mrs. Keaton asked, "If you choose neither, Cecilia Lynch, don’t blame me for doing something excessive."
