“I know, Ms. Long, that you and Heather Done are friends, otherwise, you wouldn’t invest in the Linsey Group. So, I’m here today not to ask you to feel for me and join my side, but to make a deal with you!”
Cecelia’s tone was calm and composed, with a hint of confidence.

Karen Long stared at her for a few seconds and chuckled, “Hah, Miss Linsey, the Nelsons might have paid you a lot for the settlement of the divorce, but I don’t accept bribes!”
Karen thought money or valuable items are Cecelia’s leverage to win her benefits.
Many might a**ume that after Cecelia divorced Remington Nelson, she would receive a fat settlement check.
Cecelia explained nothing and slowly shook her head, “I don’t take money or treasures as my bargaining chips.”
“Oh? I’m curious about what you can offer me then.”
“It is something you won’t turn down, Ms. Long.”
“What do you mean?”
A sudden serious look appeared on Karen’s look, and she became more alert.
“Relax. What I mean, Ms. Long, is your most cherished things: your marriage and family.
Cecelia revealed her trump card; she had already done some
digging on Karen Long’s personality and knew well about the woman. she was dealing with.
She was an ambitious, shrewd, and capable woman, with an iron fist in her career, but her family and marriage were bumping along a rough trail.
If Cecelia wanted to win over Karen, she had to focus on what the woman cared about the most.
Karen Long was puzzled by her words and couldn’t understand her intentions.
“I don’t understand! What was that supposed to mean? Stay out of my family and marriage! My husband loves me deeply, and that, Miss Linsey, is none of your business!”
Some unfavorable rumors about Cecelia had also reached Karen

Long’s ears.

Moreover, she had heard from Heather Done and Ophelia Linsey about how Cecelia was known for stealing men from other women. Rumor had it that she even sn atched the opportunity of the marry- and-bless thing.
To be honest, she had no good impression of women like Cecelia.
She also feared that after Cecelia’s divorce, Cecelia would try to approach her husband!
“Is that so?”
Cecelia smiled faintly, indifferent. “Only he knows whether he truly loves you. Perhaps you were what love could ever be when you were young, but now, his love for you can’t be guaranteed! Your marriage seems to be in trouble, isn’t it?”
Hearing her words, Karen Long, as her face was turning blue, pounded the table. “What nonsense are you talking about? No one gets to accuse my husband of that but me! You think you know it all? My husband loves me very much, and our marriage is strong! Stop talking out of your *ss!”
Facing Karen Long’s anger, Cecelia also pounded and stood up.
Cecelia overmatched Karen’s vibe and dominated the room.
“Although you have a successful career, a seemingly loving marriage with two children, and a life that others envy, only you know your husband is having an affair! Don’t you know any of that, Ms. Long?”
Cecelia slammed a photo of her husband being intimate with another woman onto the desk before her.
Karen Long slumped back into her seat, for Cecelia and her words exposed her inner wounds and anguish.
Unable to contain her emotions any longer, she became agitated. Her anger was merely a way to hide her inner turmoil and pride!
“You may have achieved great success in your career, with your chain of KLCS nationwide, KLFO being a famous domestic feminist organization, and Stardream even growing into a listed corporation, but your family is drifting away from you further and further. All the while, you know little about where and with whom your husband spends every night. Is any of that part of successful women?”
“Enough! Please get outta here!”

vulnerability?

Her growing success in her career had led her to neglect her family, and her husband’s infidelity was a result of her overpowering
nature.
She had lost the man who once loved her, and she was barely holding on to the shattered marriage because she still loved him and for the sake of their children.
To others, she might seem like a successful woman, but in her marriage, she was an insecure woman who was unable to keep her
man.
Karen Long covered her face, fearing to reveal her true self and the mess underneath her mask of a hypocrite that was yanked off.
However, she was feeling more vulnerable and in pain. She was a woman; how could she not care whether her husband loved her or not?
“I’m sorry for saying things that hurt you. I’ll leave now, but before that, I still want to make this deal with you, Ms. Long. I have a way to make your husband change his mind! Here’s my business card; feel free to contact me if you need help.”
Cecelia put her card on the table and turned to leave.Karen Long casted her sorrowful eyes on the photo before her, feeling devastated.
In the moment before Cecelia was about to close the door, Karen Long called out to her, “Miss Linsey, please wait!”
Cecelia paused her steps, a slight smile playing on her l*ps. Everything was going as she had expected.
She turned around gracefully, standing there like a wise person, inspiring a sense of reverence.
At the time, Karen Long had dropped her previous cold and arrogant demeanor. She came forward and humbled herself to invite Cecelia back to the seat.
Miss Linsey, I agree to your deal. I hope you can help me!”
She was Sincere this time!
Since Cecelia seemed to have everything under control, she must have a way!
“Thank you, Ms. Long, for this opportunity!”
They sat down and started chatting with Karen Long telling details

between her and her husband.

When it comes to sad parts, beads of tears dropped as she sobbed, “I led all of it into this situation; I don’t even dare wish him back! What possible can you do?”
“Don’t worry, I can make him change his mind and come back to you!”
Deeply moved, Karen Long held Cecelia’s hand and said, “Miss Linsey, if you can make him change his mind, I’m willing to do anything for you!”
“Then, let’s wait and see!”
After leaving the office, Cecelia called Cynthia Nelson and left together.
Cynthia was curious about what she discussed with Karen Long, but Cecelia simply said, “I just want to help her make her husband fall in love with her again!”
“Oh? Do you have that kind of magic? Then sprinkle some on me, so your senior cla**mate will fall for me faster!” Cynthia Nelson said. anxiously.
“Heh, why the rush? If it’s not meant to be, it won’t happen no matter what you do.”
After dropping her off, Cecelia returned to the Bluebell Mansion.
On her way, she received a call from Remington, “Hello?”
“Where are you, Cece?”
“On my way back.”
“Well, I’m calling to tell you I’ve found Eaton Brown and your brother!”
So excited, Cecelia exclaimed, “How’s he now!?”
But Remington didn’t reciprocate that emotion, and in a heavy tone, he replied, “We might need to go there in person. I’m arranging a helicopter. Come to me!”
“I’ll be there!”
Cecelia’s heart tightened, and a bad feeling surfaced. Could something have happened to her brother?
