Wolves, Maces, And Blood

Chapter 48 Cecilia’s World. Get the Hell out of Hilshire

Take a look?

At what?

Cecilia’s mind was in a state of breakdown and she couldn’t even think about it, not to mention her

eyes.

The legal manager took out another marker pen and handed it over, “If you are willing to accept our

offer, please sign on the engagement agreement.”

It took Cecilia half a while to recover.

She looked down at the hiring agreement in the legal manager’s hand. Instead of reaching for it or

rushing to sign it, she looked up at Lilith Carter and asked, “Miss Carter, right? Are you sure you’re not

kidding?”

“Of course.”

Lilith Carter smiled and nodded, “I’m pretty sure the new CEO I’ve been waiting for is you. By joking

about something like this, are you questioning my personal and professional competence?”

“No, I just…”

Cecilia frowned and said, “But why? Why did you hire me?”

This was the common question in everyone’s mind.

Isaac was about to cry.

Only then did he finally believe that Cecilia had not just been pretending to be innocent. She really

didn’t know what happened yesterday, let alone what was going to happen today!

But instead of making him feel happy, the result made him even more angry and jealous!

Why was that? Why???

He and his father had worked hard to succeed the Moore Group, by hook or by crook. But in the end, at

the last moment, all the efforts were wasted.

Cecilia, on the other hand, turned the corner and effortlessly became the new president of the Moore

Group without even knowing it.

No contrast, no harm!

Isaac couldn’t accept that!

So, he looked up, stared at Lilith Carter with the greatest venom in his eyes, pricked up his ears, and

waited, too, for Lilith Carter’s answer.

“Let’s go up first.”

Lilith Carter said with a crooked smile, “Our entire staff came to work two hours early to prepare for

today’s welcoming ceremony, and they’re still waiting.”

“As for the reasons, I will explain them to Miss Moore alone later.”

Lilith Carter kept the secret. There were too many strangers on the street, it seemed that some words Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

couldn’t be heard by outsiders.

Explain to her alone?

Hearing this, everyone was disappointed.

“Okay, fine.”

Cecilia nodded, then looked at Dylan and Isaac and said, “Now that Miss Carter has hired me as

president of the Moore Group, that means I can now exercise the powers of president, right?”

“Yes.”

Lilith Carter certainly knew what Cecilia was up to. “Please help yourself.” She said with a smile.

“In the future, I don’t want to see any more Moore’s!”

With that, Cecilia turned and walked away.

Over the past five years, the Moore family had done irreparable damage to Cecilia. Just like Dylan and

Isaac wouldn’t let her go, she wouldn’t be stupid enough to return good for evil.

Just kicking Dylan and Isaac out of the Moore Group was the best she could do.

Out of sight, out of mind!

“Do you hear that?”

Lilith Carter looked at the head of security and the legal manager and said, “Miss Moore doesn’t want

to see them. So, there’s no need for them to stay with the company, and Hilshire.”

“Okay!”

The head of security and the legal manager looked at each other and knew what to do.

Getting them out of the company was enough. Why Getting them out of Hilshire?

Shareholders and executives couldn’t help but gasp and sweat, thinking, “Well, Lilith Carter was sent

by the Campbell Family of Crane Town. She is so decisive in her work. And she’s fucking cruel!”

“Bitch, who do you think you are?”

Isaac jumped to his feet, his anger rising so high that it eclipsed his fear of the security captain. He

pointed at Lilith Carter’s nose with a ferocious look in his eye, “Hilshire is my home! This is my town!

Even if you’re a lackey from the Campbell family of Crane Town. So what?”

“If you want me to leave Hilshire, I’ll kill you!!!”

Crazy!

Isaac was really pissed off.

The first reason for his deference to Lilith Carter was that he was afraid of being beaten by the security

captain. The second reason was that he was afraid of being burned by the Campbell family behind

Lilith Carter. The third reason was that he wanted to temporarily eat humble pie and secretly plan for

revenge and recapture the Moore Group.

And now, with Cecilia’s casual words, all his hopes had been destroyed.

So, why should he stand it?

Isaac yelled at Lilith Carter and even ran at her in a desperate attempt to attack her.

Unfortunately, the head of security was standing right next to Lilith Carter.

Bam!

In front of the head of security, the mad Isaac was like a three-year-old. He kicked Isaac in the chest

and kicked him out on the spot.

He flew back the way he came.

He fell back the same way he got up.

That was a good kick.

Poof!

After Isaac fell, he spewed out a cloud of blood. He lay there like a dead dog. Though he struggled for

a long time, he couldn’t get up.

“Isaac!”

Dylan was furious.

He wanted to go after Lilith Carter, too, but Isaac beat him to it. Now, seeing Isaac’s sad end, he gritted

his teeth and swallowed it.

He rushed over to check Isaac’s injury.

Isaac had been beating up since Sean got out of jail yesterday morning. He added a new wound to the

old one. He was kind of miserable.

“Mr. Moore.”

Lilith Carter looked down at them both and snorted, “Antagonizing the Campbell family won’t end well.

If you’re smart, keep your son in line, take your father, go home, pack your things, and get the hell out

of Hilshire.”

“Otherwise, it might not be as simple as leaving Hilshire. You might need to go to another world.”

Death threats!

Then she turned and walked away.

After forcing Carter Moore to sign the equity transfer contract at city Hospital last night, the reason Lilith

Carter didn’t dispose of Dylan and Isaac on the spot was to give Cecilia the opportunity.

Let Cecilia avenge herself! Let Cecilia avenge herself!

The shareholders and executives of the company remained frozen in place. The sound of swallowing

was all around. Until yesterday, Carter Moore was the biggest shareholder in the Moore Group. He

made the call.

Dylan and Isaac were also bossy and overbearing.

But now?

Who would have thought that in just one day, everything would turn around? Cecilia, used to be beaten

down everywhere, turned the tables and replaced them as president of the Moore Group.

Everyone’s heart was shaking hard. It all happened too fast to be true.

Boom! Boom!

Just as they were transfixed, there was a deafening salute behind them, one after another, which was

very beaming. They looked back and saw Cecilia walking on the red carpet at the entrance of the

Moore Group, between two rows of blooming flowers. The employees in the company applauded wildly

to welcome the new president.

At this moment, they knew that from today on, the Moore Group would be Cecilia’s world.

Cecilia, surrounded by a crowd of stars, became the center of attention. She suppressed her shock and

disbelief. She was almost at the end of the carpet when she turned her head and looked in the direction

Sean had disappeared.

Thinking, “Did this guy know Lilith Carter had hired me to be president of the corporation, and that’s

why he ran so fast and didn’t worry about me?”

At that time.

Sean had arrived south of town in the Mulsanne.

As Cecilia guessed, Sean knew what was coming and took it all in his stride. What she didn’t know was

that Sean planned this whole thing.

Cecilia was deeply attached to the Moore Group.

Although she pretended to be strong and said that being kicked out of the Moore Group only meant

unemployment and she could get another job, Sean could tell how much she was hurting.

Sean took the pain out of her!

Joining the Moore Group was Cecilia’s big moment, and Sean didn’t want to steal her thunder. Besides,

Sean had more important things to do.

That was to visit his grandma and grandpa…

Five years!

He was wrongfully imprisoned, his mother died in the Capital City, and N&P Media was taken. His

grandma and grandpa were old and helpless, and he didn’t know how they were living now.

It must have been tough.

Sean was worried.

The Taylor Family also took the villa that belonged to his family.

After talking to a few old neighbors, Sean found out that his grandma and grandpa had moved to the

suburbs. They rented a fruit stand in the suburbs to make ends meet.

So, Sean raced to the suburbs.

According to the address given by his old neighbor, he wasted more than half an hour zigzagging

around the suburban streets before he found the place.

In the distance, he could see people crowding around the fruit stand.

A noise could be faintly heard.

“What’s going on?”

With a slight frown, Sean pushed the door open and got off. He stopped Mulsanne at the entrance of

the street and walked alone towards the crowd on the opposite side.

The closer he got, the clearer the sound became.

Amid the confusion, there was a whine, and a shrill voice of a middle-aged woman.

“Don’t be such a jerk, old dogs!”

“I, Betty Webber, was so kind as to rent the shop and booth to you. But instead of doing business

properly, you smashed up my shop like this!”

“Pay me! I want you to pay me back!”

The middle-aged woman who called herself Betty Weber posed like a vixen with her hands akimbo.

Sean pushed his way into the crowd.

The sign said Wright’s Vegetable and Fruit Shop. In front of the shop, there was a stall. At the time, no

matter inside the shop, or outside the shop, all in a mess.

The old rolling shutter door fell askew there, and the tables and chairs were tilted. The glass on the

window was smashed and broken, and the wall skin was peeled off.

Not to mention the fruit and vegetable waste all over the floor. It was a mess because so many people

had gathered to watch.

In front of Betty stood an elderly woman over 60. Her hair was already snow-white around her temples,

her eyes were red now, and her wrinkled cheeks were filled with fear and helplessness…

She was Gemma Wright, Sean’s grandmother, and Nicola Wright’s mother!
