Chapter303HerIdentityExposed


    Cecelia immediately drove over when she heard something had happened.


    Arriving at the ce where Esmee Nelson used to live, Cecelia saw Remington waiting outside the


    door. “What happened?” she asked. “Esmee Nelson has gone missing!” he replied.


    Upon hearing this, Cecelia didn’t say anything and walked directly into the yard.


    Fredric Ingerwood was inspecting the scene with his team, and he came out and said, “Mr. Nelson, the


    surveince cameras have been tampered with and cannot be repaired. We can’t see what happened


    before.”


    “Is there any sign of a struggle inside?” Remington asked.


    “No, everything seems intact. There’s even half–eaten food on the table.‘


    Cecelia and Remington went inside the house to take a look. “Do you think she ran away on her own?”


    Cecelia wondered.


    “It’s possible,” he replied.


    “If she managed to escape from here, it means she’s clever.”


    As Cecelia said this, she casually nced at the table and unexpectedly noticed several scratch marks.


    Looking at the table legs, there were also traces of movement. Cecelia boldly spected, “Maybe she


    didn’t run away; perhaps she was kidnapped!”


    “How do you know she was kidnapped?” Remington turned to ask.


    “Look here. Under what circumstances would such deep scratch marks be left on the table, so deep


    that it moved the heavy table itself? It’s likely that she was taken against her will from here. So, it’s


    highly possiblé that an outsider was here!”


    Cecelia’s first thought was, “Could it be that Maggie Taylor’s people kidnapped Esmee?” After all,


    Esmee was in Cecelia’s custody, which was one of the reasons Maggie Taylor couldn’t sleep at night.


    “I won’t rule out that possibility,” Remington replied.


    Remington immediately ordered his men to leave, and he instructed Fredric Ingerwood, “Fredric, you’re


    in charge of preserving the scene and collecting fingerprints and footprints from this room Let’s find out


    who else has been here besides us.”


    “Understood, Mr. Nelson!”


    Fredric and his team began their collection work right away.


    Remington took Cecelia away from the scene. He also assigned personnel to secretly investigate the


    Taylor Group to see if Esmee had been kidnapped by Maggie Taylor’s people.


    On the way back to the city, Cecelia received a call from Universal Entertainment. She nced at the


    caller ID and said to Remington, “It’s from Universal Entertainment, probably about Jimmy Bloom’s


    contract.”


    Afterward, she answered the call. “Hello?”


    “Miss Linsey, have you seen the recent news?”


    “What news? Are you talking about the Christie’s news or the news about Jimmy Bloom joining


    Universal Entertainment?”


    “No, neither of those. It’s about your exposé.”


    “Send it to me!”


    Soon, Cecelia received a news link, and when she clicked it, she was shocked to see that it was an


    exposé about her true identity.


    The news imed that Cecelia Linsey was not the biological daughter of Gary, Linsey, but rather the


    result of an extramarital affair with her mother, Le Done. It also used Cecelia of wrongfully taking


    over the Linsey Group.


    Who would have thought that Cecelia, who wasn’t even a celebrity, would suddenly be trending due to


    this exposé, alongside Jimmy Bloom?


    Online discussions were rampant, all focused on Cecelia’s background, whether she was truly a Linsey


    family member, and various spections about her mother.


    [So, she’s the result of her mother’s affair, not really from the Linsey family!]


    [She’s just aplete fake heiress!]


    [Who did Le Done have an affair with to give birth to Cecelia? Gary, Linsey must be feeling betrayed.


    One cheats, and the other. marries a mistress. They’re not good people.]


    [Like mother, like daughter. Le Done was known as a seductress. back then, and now her daughter is


    no different!]


    After reading the news and thements, Cecelia felt a surge of anger.

    She could tolerate people questioning her, but couldn’t stand them ndering her mother!


    “What’s wrong, Cecelia? What’s the news about?” Remington asked, noticing her troubled expression.


    He pulled over the car. “Take a look for yourself!”


    Cecelia handed him her phone, and after he read it, his face also darkened.


    “These people have nothing better to do!”


    He returned the phone to Cecelia and reassured her, “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.’


    Remington made a call to have all the negative news about Cecelia removed from the inte, and the


    trending topics canceled.


    He also instructed, “Find out who’s behind this exposé and shut down the media responsible!”


    With the crisis resolved, Remington held Cecelia’s hand and said, “It’s all taken care of, don’t worry.”


    “Thank you.”


    Cecelia thanked him, but her emotions were still low. Remington asked again, “Is this exposé true?


    Your biological father…”


    “Yes, it’s true. Gary Linsey is not my biological father. As for who my real father is, I still don’t know. All I


    know is that my mother referred to him as ‘L.“”


    “L isn’t an abbreviation for Linsey?”


    “I’ve read her diary, and it doesn’t seem to be Linsey.”


    “Could it be ‘L‘ as in Lyn?”


    Cecelia shook her head. She couldn’t be sure, but no matter what, her biological father hadn’t tried to


    find her and her mother in all these years, which indicated that he was either dead or a terrible person.


    In the city, in a rented apartment.


    Ophelia Linsey and Heather Done, mother and daughter, observed the situation on the inte.


    They had seen Cecelia’s exposé news climb to the top three trending topics and were secretly pleased


    that Cecelia was receiving bacsh.


    But why did it suddenly disappear within half an hour?


    “Mom, where did it go? Even the original news links are gone!”


    Ophelia clicked on the links she had saved, but none of them. opened.


    Heather, after checking, angrily mmed the table. “That wretch must have used some means to


    delete all the news.”


    If it was Cecelia’s doing, it meant that she had seen the news and taken steps to remove it.


    Thinking of Cecelia’s vengeful nature, Ophelia was somewhat worried. “Mom, do you think she’ll trace


    it back to us?”


    “How could she? The news was sent to the underground media anonymously. Even if she investigates,


    she can only trace it back to the underground media, not us.


    Considering the current situation, Ophelia was quite concerned. “Mom, what do we do now? She has


    taken over the Linsey Group, and her influence is so significant. How can we sessfully retaliate?”


    “Don’t worry, revenge is best served cold! Once your face and body are fully healed, you can reappear


    with a new identity. By then, we can change our profession and start over!”


    “Okay!” Ophelia felt hopeful about the future.


    Remington had just finished dealing with Cecelia’s scandal when he received a call from Captain


    Shawn. “Hello? Captain Shawn?”


    “Mr. Nelson, pleasee over as soon as possible. We’ve discovered a murder case here, and the


    victim might be Esmee Nelson.”


    “What?”


    After ending the call, Remington told Cecelia about it, and she was shocked.


    Had Esmee Nelson been murdered?


    “Quick, let’s go and see!” Remington immediately drove to the crime scene.
