Chapter 296 Embarrassing Cecelia in Public
“Mr. Nelson! Miss Linsey! Watch out behind you!”
Winger, who was in the distance, saw this scene and hurried back, but it was toote.
At this critical moment, a man in a white suit happened to arrive as well. Seeing the situation, he
rushed up, and with his suit jacket, he shielded Cecelia and Remington from the paint.
The man’s white suit was instantly stained. Both Cecelia and Remington turned back and saw a young
man standing in front of them, red paint dripping down his clothes.
Heather stood frozen in ce with an empty paint bottle in her hand.
Realizing she had sshed on the wrong person, Heather
instinctively wanted to escape, but Winger and his men caught her in time.
“She is picking quarrels and provoking trouble. Take her to the police!” Remington ordered, and Winger
had his men take Heather
away.
“Let go! Let go of me!”
Heather didn’t want to go to the police station, but in the end, she was taken away.
“Are you alright, sir? Thank you for your help!” Cecelia expressed her gratitude to the man who had
come forward to shield her from the paint.
“I’m fine.”
The man raised his head, revealing a strikingly handsome face. Judging from his attire, it was evident
that he was affluent and possessed an elegant and noble demeanor.
Noticing that the man’s mesmerizing eyes were constantly fixated on Cecelia, Remington instinctively
put his arm around Cecelia’s shoulder and thanked him. “Thank you for helping us, sir! Your clothes got
dirty. Shall Ipensate you?”
“No, thanks! It’s just a piece of clothing. It’s my honor to protect Miss Linsey,” the man responded as he
took off his paint-stained suit jacket and threw it into a nearby trash can.
It was clear that he didn’t care about his clothes at all. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Cecelia was surprised and wondered, “How did he know my

“See youter, Miss Linsey!”

The man gave her a slight smile and then walked past them into the
venue.
“Do you know him?” Remington didn’t quite like the way that man had looked at Cecelia, and he felt
upset when he noticed that the man knew Cecelia’s name.
“No, I don’t know him.”
Cecelia shook her head. She really didn’t know that man, but he seemed to know her as if they were
old acquaintances. She wondered what was going on.
“Let’s go in to have a look.”
Cecelia retook Remington’s arm, and they sessfully obtained their paddles before heading to the
reception area beside the auction hall.
As Remington and Cecelia made their appearance, attracting the attention of the crowd, a stir arose,
and many people cast their gazes toward them.
Camelia noticed them among the crowd and said to her sister-inw, “Winnie, Cecelia has really
come.”
Winnie turned around and snorted coldly when she saw Cecelia holding onto Remington, “What a
shameless sl’t! I can’t believe she can even boldly appear in public while holding her ex-husband’s
hand. How disgusting!”
“Exactly. What a sl*t!”
Camelia hated Cecelia because if it weren’t for Cecelia, they wouldn’t have been kicked out of KLCS
and made a fool of themselves in public.
Therefore, Camelia decided to get back at Cecelia today.
“I have already made arrangements. See how I’m going to teach her a lesson in a while!” Camelia said.
Having checked beforehand that Cecelia would be attending the auction, Camelia had made ns to
embarrass her in public.
Both Camelia and Winnie scoffed at Cecelia.
Maggie and Petunia also arrived at the reception area. Petunia felt a sense of hatred when she saw
Cecelia and Remington appear

together because she still believed that Cecelia had ruined the rtionship between Remington and
her.
“Mom, that bi*ch is here too.”
“I know.”
Maggie’s tone was indifferent. She had already noticed Cecelia’s presence. No matter what, Maggie
would do anything to get The Collection of Fragrant Clothes tonight.

Maggie not only saw Cecelia but also noticed Jersey was not far away. Every time Maggie looked at
Jersey, her eyes showed mixed emotions.
Jersey had also arrived at the reception area and raised his ss toward Cecelia as a sign of greeting.
Cecelia noticed him and nodded toward him, but instead of going to talk with Jersey, she stayed by
Remington’s side.
She also noticed the man in a white suit. He had been standing not far from Jersey and smiled at
Cecelia.
Remington felt really upset, as if his treasures were being coveted, when he noticed that those two
men and many other meň present were staring at Cecelia.
To prevent Cecelia from interacting with them, Remington asked, “Céce, can you check my ear? I’m
feeling unwell.”
“What’s wrong?” Cecelia immediately checked his ear.
In outsiders’ eyes, it looked like they were whispering to each other.
People who didn’t know them thought they were a sweet couple, and those who knew the truth thought
they didn’t seem like a divorced couple at all, and they wondered if they had already reconciled.
During the party, someone identally bumped into Cecelia’s arm and spilled some wine on her.
“Excuse me. I need to go to the restroom.”
Cecelia wanted to go to the restroom to clean up.
Remington asked, “Do you want me to go with you?”
“No, thanks! I’ll be right back,” responded Cecelia.
Watching Cecelia head toward the restroom, Camelia became excited and secretly followed her.

However, Cecelia didn’t enter the restroom but cleaned her dress in front of the mirror outside.
When she was about to return to the reception area, she happened to run into Camelia.
Camelia thought to herself, “Hmph! She’s quite cun ning. She actually didn’t enter the restroom.” With
her arms crossed over her chest, Camelia sarcasticallymented, “Cecelia, don’t get too ahead of
yourself. You’re possessing Remington but still flirting with other men. Enough of that!”
Upon hearing Camelia’s jealous words, Cecelia coldly retorted, “Miss Shawn, what position are you in
to criticize me? What do you think your rtionship with Remington is? That’s between him and me.
None of your business!”
“Don’t be so arrogant! I’m just warning you! You had better be cautious and don’t let Remington find out
your infidelity!”
“You don’t need to worry about me, Miss Shawn. Just take care of yourself!”
Cecelia walked past Camelia and left the restroom, leaving Camelia feeling frustrated.
Suddenly, something urred to Camelia. She entered the restroom and pounded the door of one of
the stalls, reminding someone, “Your cane out now. She’s already gone. The n failed.”
But as Camelia turned around, a man suddenly reached out and pulled her into the stall.
Camelia was so frightened that she wanted to scream, but the man covered her mouth and said, “Miss
Cami, don’t scream!”
The man released his grip, and Camelia widened her eyes, lowering her voice as she questioned,
“Bruce, what do you want?”
“Miss Cami, I’m feeling so ufortable. Actually, I’m very into you.”
Bruce was a ser vant of the Shawn family. Camelia often bossed him around, and he always obeyed
hermands.
Today, he took some drugs as Camelia had instructed and hid here. to attack Cecelia, but he
underestimated the effects of the drug.
It only made him want to have sex with the woman he liked even
more.
He had a secret crush on Camelia. Now, hearing her voice, he couldn’t control himself any longer.

He wanted to embrace Camelia, but she pushed him away and snapped, “Bruce, have you forgotten
your status? You’re just a ser vant. If you dare to act recklessly, I won’t let you go.”
“Even if it means going to jail, I’ll have no regrets.”
With that, Bruce charged toward Camelia.
