Chapter 188: Chapter 186: Dare to Lie to Cecilia? Don’t Want Your Arm?

Winston Marshall looked at the group, annoyed and confused. He had no idea what they were laughing at.

"Cecilia, they’re from Lorcain. This makes things even easier," Duane said with a smile to Cecilia Sterling, holding Henry Marshall with one hand like he was picking up a baby chick.

’Cecilia?’

Winston Marshall was even more baffled. ’For a group of people this ruthless to show her such respect, she must be someone I’ve at least heard of in Lorcain, right?’

Besides, Cecilia Sterling was far too young, which made it impossible for Winston Marshall to guess her background or connections.

Seeing that she had sat down and his captors had released him, Winston Marshall figured she wanted to talk. He decided to stop guessing and asked directly, "You... you’re from Lorcain too?"

Cecilia Sterling raised an eyebrow and nodded.

Winston Marshall’s brow tightened. "I haven’t heard your name before."

Duane looked at Winston Marshall and said, "You don’t need to have heard of Cecilia. You just need to know who Jeb is."

"J-Jeb?"

A flicker of understanding crossed Winston Marshall’s eyes, and he unconsciously shifted in his seat.

’Wesley Yates?’

’No wonder. No wonder they’re so brazen.’

Winston Marshall, who had been forcing himself to appear as solid as a rock, finally let a flicker of panic show on his face.

His expression softened noticeably. He looked at Cecilia Sterling and forced a smile that was uglier than a grimace. "My mistake. I failed to recognize who I was dealing with."

James Lockwood was shocked, too. ’Didn’t Cecilia just meet Jeb a short while ago?’

’How could Jeb send so many people to accompany her to Starwood today?’

But of course, Cecilia Sterling was under no obligation to explain any of this to anyone. She simply said coolly, "Let’s talk. Weren’t you the one who wanted to sit down and discuss things?"

"This is my son’s fault. I’ll have him apologize to your sister," Winston Marshall said, no longer trying to act tough.

He now understood completely that if they truly wanted his son’s arm, they wouldn’t hesitate for a second.

He knew his son’s character better than anyone. On any other day, it would have been the other party who suffered.

But today, his son had picked a fight he couldn’t win and stirred up trouble that even he couldn’t smooth over. All they could do now was stand straight, take their punishment, and admit their fault.

In Lorcain, there were two kinds of people you could never afford to cross.

Those at the top.

And those at the bottom.

Wesley Yates was one of the latter.

Where else would he have gotten the nickname "King Yama"?

"An apology..."

Cecilia Sterling murmured, pondering for a moment before nodding. "That’ll do."

Then, she looked at Duane. "Go with them. Record the whole thing, but just focus the camera on him."

Duane was smart. He understood what Cecilia meant.

"Who can show us the way?"

The assistant director quickly raised his hand. "I-I can! I know where Lily’s dressing room is."

He just wanted to get out and catch his breath.

’Lily’s sister is terrifying!’

So, the assistant director led the way, with Duane practically dragging the weak-kneed Henry Marshall behind him. After a series of twists and turns, they finally arrived at Lily Sterling’s dressing room.

Filming had been completely shut down for the day because of the incident. Lily Sterling and Suzanne Sawyer were both in the room. Suzanne had called her father, but he was on a business trip abroad and couldn’t get back right away.

So, Lily Sterling had insisted she stay with her, worried that Henry Marshall might come looking for her again.

The assistant director knocked on the dressing room door. Finn was the one who opened it.

Before Finn could say a word, the assistant director stepped aside, and Duane barged into the room, hauling Henry Marshall with him.
