Slowly Falling into His Love Trap

Chapter 488: Chapter 488: In the End, She Was the One Who Ruined Him

Before Cecilia Lynch could speak, Shannon Dunn continued, "If you don’t destroy Evelyn Morgan, you’re essentially destroying Julian Keaton. You know how much Julian loves you, don’t you understand what he’d become if he lost you?"

Cecilia tightened her fist, her anger instantly ignited by Shannon Dunn.

She pointed to the door and yelled at Shannon, "Get out! Get out of here!"

"Yelling at me is useless." Shannon shook her head, "Don’t be foolish! In this day and age, if you don’t look out for yourself, you’re doomed. You have a shortcut to success yet you refuse to take it. Do you really want to foolishly face disaster?"

"Shut up!" Cecilia’s voice came through gritted teeth.

"If you just use a little bit of your brain, you can change both your life and Julian Keaton’s. If you won’t think about yourself, or your mom, won’t you at least think about Julian Keaton?" Shannon asked.

"Get out of here!" Cecilia roared, "Shannon Dunn, forget it! None of you should even think about it! I will never do anything to betray Evelyn, absolutely not!"

"I’m here just to give you an opportunity." Shannon’s lips curved into a faint smile, "You’re a dutiful daughter. If within three days, you don’t do something to break the bond between Evelyn Morgan and Caden Lockwood, I’ll personally tell your mother about you and Julian Keaton."

"No way!" Cecilia’s face turned even paler, shaking her head in grief, "Shannon Dunn, you..."

"This is a dog-eat-dog world." Shannon looked at Cecilia, her eyes devoid of warmth, "If you don’t eat, you’ll be devoured. More than anyone, you know your mom always felt like a burden to you. If she finds out you became Julian Keaton’s lover for her, she won’t be able to live on."

With those words, Shannon stood up and left, her face bearing a smile of inevitable victory.

As she reached the door, she stopped, parted her thin lips: "Didn’t Julian Keaton tell you? His dad has already forbidden him from going to the company, and also froze his bank card, taking away his transportation. He pretends to go to work every day, but he’s really out looking for a job. Yet, with The Keaton Family’s order to blacklist him, what job could Julian Keaton possibly find?"

After speaking, Shannon left behind a cold laugh, and left.

Listening to Shannon’s words, Cecilia collapsed onto the ground, shaking her head in torment.

She indeed felt something was off, thinking Julian Keaton’s expression looked too weary whenever he came home.

Furthermore, some of his previously proud demeanor seemed to have faded considerably.

She shouldn’t have returned!

Shouldn’t have appeared in front of Julian Keaton!

If she had left back then, it would all be over, and they wouldn’t be caught in such a complex web now.

Ultimately... It was she who harmed Julian Keaton!

If she leaves with her mother now, is there still time?

It’s too late!

Mrs. Keaton had said, even if she chooses to leave, she would tell her mother about her being a mistress.

Her mother, upon learning the truth, would definitely be devastated!

They are all forcing her, forcing her to destroy the happiness of Evelyn Morgan and Caden Lockwood.

Because... only she is the person Evelyn Morgan trusts the most, no matter what she says, Evelyn Morgan would unconditionally believe it.

Yet precisely because Evelyn Morgan trusts her this much, how could she betray that trust?

Cecilia didn’t even know who she could talk to about all of this.

If she disclosed the difficulties and helplessness she faced now, her mother would immediately know everything.

What should she do?

Isn’t there anyone who can tell her what to do now?

What should she do to protect her mother, Evelyn Morgan, and Julian Keaton at the same time?

It seems... There is simply no such perfect solution.

Cecilia sat in place, her gaze dim without a trace of brightness, like a helpless ghost, left only to cry...
