After a moment of silence, Remington asked, “Shall Ie to you?”
“Let’s meet at the Monishore Riverbank Cafe on Maple Street.” Cecelia chose a nearby location.
“Alright.”
When Cecelia arrived at the Monishore Riverbank Cafe, Remington had just arrived as well, with both
of their cars parked one behind the other.
“Cece.”
After getting out of the car, Remington approached Cecelia.
Cecelia said, “Let’s talk inside.”
They entered the cafe together and found a secluded corner to sit down.
Cecelia asked, “What did you want to tell me?”
“Here is the information about the Songo family in Poremathe. Take a look!”
Remington handed Cecelia some documents, and she took them and flipped through them.
These were all the family members’ information about the Songo family, the same as the results she
had previously requested the Dark Moon Pavilion to investigate.
At present, the head of the Songo family was Alfred, who was also Cecelia’s grandmother’s cousin as
well as Cecelia’s great-uncle.
Alfred had married three women, and the total number of children he had officially registered reached
up to twelve.
From the chart, it was clear that the Songo family wasrge and prosperous, with numerous
descendants.
Cecelia raised her gaze and asked, “The Songo family is reallyrge. Did you find anything
suspicious?”
“The Songo family still maintains the Songo Dyehouse and also has the Songo Group, which holds
significant influence in Bemanko. The Songo family is thergest family in the entire Porema. Surface-

anything wrong for now.””
“Why can’t such a big family business amodate my grandmother? Perhaps what we see is only

“Yes, we need to continue investigating in secret,” Remington told her another important matter, “By the
way, I’ve learned some clues rted to The Collection of Fragrant Clothes.''”
“What?” Cecelia leaned closer as Remington raised his hand to his mouth and whispered into her ear.
“There are rumors in the ck market that The Collection of Fragrant Clothes is not only a secret
recipe for making scented clothes, but it also hides a secret map. It is said that the map can unlock the
ancient tomb treasury. I suspect that those who want to find The Collection of Fragrant Clothes are
after this purpose.”
Remington leaned back after finishing his sentences. Cecelia’s face was full of astonishment. “How is
that possible? It sounds like a ridiculous rumor. I’ve already read it, and there’s no map inside.” Cecelia
had read the first half of the secret recipe, which only recorded some spice forms and dyeing
methods. How could there be a tomb map?
“I also think it’s impossible, but outsiders don’t think so. People are. driven by interests, and those who
want to find The Collection of Fragrant Clothes will do anything for it.”
Rumors could really harm people. N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.
Cecelia sighed and told Remington the truth, “You know what? I met Maggie today and we talked about
Doris. Guess what condition she proposed?”
“Did she ask you to join the Taylor Group?” Remington guessed.
“Yes, that’s one of the conditions. She proposed another one, saying that she wants me to give her a
full copy of The Collection of Fragrant Clothes in exchange for Doris.”
“What? Does Maggie also want The Collection of Fragrant Clothes?” Remington asked in shock.
“That’s right. She wants it. Otherwise, there’s no deal.” Cecelia felt a pang of sadness and frustration at
the thought of not being able to get her daughter back.
Remington mmed the table in anger, “Da’n it! Let me just take some people to her and snatch Doris
back! What’s there to discuss. with that old witch?”

Remington couldn’t stand it anymore and stood up to leave, but Cecelia stopped him. “Remington,
calm down! Since she’s after the secret recipe, she must have taken precautions and won’t let us find
our daughter easily. If we really confront her, and she sends Doris away and hides her, we might never
see our daughter anymore. For now, we can only buy time and think of a solution. She gave me two
days to think about it.”
Remington sat back down, his eyebrows furrowed in deep thought. After a moment, he finally came up
with a good n.
“How about this?….” Remington whispered to Cecelia, and after listening, she said, “Alright, let’s take
the risk and give it a try.”
The two of them left the café, and Remington followed Cecelia to Bluebell Mansion. She handed him
the first half of The Collection of Fragrant Clothes, which showed her trust in him since she entrusted
such an important thing to him.
After receiving the stuff, Remington immediately left Bluebell, Mansion and went to meet a friend who
specialized in restoring ancient books.
Cecelia stayed at Bluebell Mansion and prepared for the Nelson family’s birthday banquet in the
evening.
At dusk, the Nelson family’s old house was brightly lit.
The banquet was held in thergest banquet hall of the main. building area of the Nelson’s.
Everything needed for the event had been prepared. The garden. and the entrance had been
beautifully decorated.
Gabrie was getting ready to change her clothes at her residence. Cynthia helped her put on a
beautiful new outfit and eximed, “Grandma, you look lively and beautiful in this outfit.”
Gabrie beamed. When she thought about meeting her great- grandchildren in the evening, she was
so happy that she couldn’t stop smiling. She asked again, “Cynthia, will Cecelia and the children
come?”
“Of course, they will. It’s your birthday banquet. Cecelia will definitely bring the children to celebrate this
big day with you.” Cynthia reassured her.
“Good! I need to prepare some gifts for my great-grandchildren.”

Gabrie happily reminded Cynthia, and Cynthia said, “Don’t worry. Everything has been prepared for
you.
“Then let’s go! I can’t wait any longer.”
”
Gabrie walked toward the banquet hall with Cynthia’s help.
At this time, the invited guests were arriving one after another, and the Nelson family’s garden parking
lot was filled with luxury cars.
Almost all the prominent figures in Center City hade to congratte Gabrie, including
representatives from the Quinsey family, the Banks family, the Cosby family, the Jackbone family, and
so on.
Samuel, as the head of the family, had returned to the Nelson’s in the morning. At this moment, he was
responsible for weing guests into the banquet hall.
When Remington returned from outside, he met Samuel at the entrance of the banquet hall. It was
clear that there was some tension between them.
“Remington.” Samuel wanted to greet him, but Remington walked past him and headed into the
banquet hall without saying a word because, after the banquet, it would be the time for revtion.
Many people from the major families gathered at the banquet hall. Some elderlydies, apanied
by their charming daughters, had been waiting for a long time, not for Gabrie, but for Remington.
It was known to all that Remington had recovered and was divorced.
Moreover, he was the heir of the top-tier Nelson family and the president of the Nelson Group. He was
a handsome, young, wealthy man, the ideal marriage candidate for every woman.
When he walked in, all the women in the banquet hall couldn’t help but cast their eyes on him.
“Oh, my G od! I meet Mr. Nelson.”
“Mr. Nelson is so handsome.”
The sound of women swooning and gasping echoed through the hall. However, Remington walked
straight toward Gabrie without sparing a nce at them.
“Grandma, sorry! I’mte.”
Gabrie looked at him and then nced toward the entrance.
“Don’t block the way! Whether youe back or not doesn’t matter. I only care about whether Cecelia
hase.
Remington was speechless.
