Chapter 369 Misery
“Oh? Isn’t that Cecelia? She’s over there.”
Fiona was the first one to spot Cecelia and walked over with Mariah.
“Cecelia, so you’re here.”
Mariah noticed Edwin standing beside Cecelia and eximed, “Edwin, when did youe back?”
“Good evening, Mariah, Aunt Fiona! I just arrived home.”
Edwin politely greeted them. When he heard Cecelia’s name in their conversation, he was a bit
shocked. “Is she Cecelia, the granddaughter of Grandaunt Cassie?”
He had heard about the disruption of the Songo family’s new productunch, and Mizey had
comined to him, asking him to contact Olivia to handle the matter. That was why he had flown back
from France.
“Yes!” Mariah responded and looked at Cecelia, pretending to be concerned. “Cecelia, sorry for
identally burning you earlier. I specifically got some ointment for you. You should apply it quickly to
avoid scarring.”
Mariah handed the ointment to Cecelia, who nced at it and calmly epted it. “Thank you, Mariah.”
“Don’t mention it! Remember to apply it three times a day!”
Mariah’s eyes flickered with excitement as Cecelia took the ointment.
Cecelia could see through this little trick of Mariah’s. Mariah showed concern by bringing the ointment
and dragging Fiona along, all in an attempt to find a witness to prove Mariah’s care for Cecelia.
Cecelia didn’t buy into Mariah’s seemingly kind-hearted gesture. Who knows what damaging
ingredients could be mixed into the ointment Mariah brought? Trusting Mariah would be dangerous.
However, Cecelia was quite curious and wondered, “Why hasn’t Mariah shown any reaction after
eating the food I served?”
“Edwin, you and Cecelia haven’t met yet. Let me introduce you to each other.” Mariah pretended to
help with the introduction, but before she could finish her words, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her
abdomen. The pain spread rapidly, making it impossible for her to speak.
“What’s wrong, Mariah? Are you okay?” Edwin noticed her pained expression.
Mariah waved him off, trying to endure the difort. “I’m fine. Da*n!”
Although she said she was fine, the pain grew more intense and uncontroble. She felt the urge to
fart, and she couldn’t even hold it in.
To make matters worse, Chris and Dana, as well as Bowin and the head of the third branch, along with
Mariah’s husband Warda, happened to pass by at that moment.
Mariah had timed her arrival to make a good impression as a good daughter-inw in front of her
family. But now, she couldn’t hold it in any longer.
Suddenly, a loud, long fart erupted, capturing the attention of everyone around.
“Oh my!”
Fiona was the first to cover her nose, her face full of disgust.
Cecelia also took a few steps back, and Edwin’s eyes toward Mariah changed as well.
“D*mn! I….”
Mariah tried to exin with her hand over her belly, but it was already toote. The pain in her
abdomen intensified, making her unable to hold it any longer. Suddenly, everything came rushing out.
In front of everyone, Mariah’s embarrassing situation unfolded uncontrobly. She was really in a
miserable state.
Everyone around showed disgusted expressions, and even Warda, upon seeing his wife like this, felt
nauseous.
“Mariah, how can you…?”
He wanted to say, “How could you make a poo-poo in public? It’s so humiliating.”
Mariah, of course, knew how embarrassing she looked. To have diarrhea in front of everyone,
especially in front of Cecelia, was even more humiliating than being pped.
At this moment, all Mariah wanted to do was find a hole to crawl into. Holding her painful stomach with
spasms and leaning against the wall of the corridor, she scrambled away in embarrassment.
Cecelia silently snorted and thought, “This is the consequence of intentionally picking a fight with me.
She got what she deserved.”
“I apologize for my wife’s behavior,” Warda said with a sullen face and quickly walked away. Chris Dana
pretended not to have seen anything and left on another route.
“This is so disgusting. Let’s leave. It stinks here!”
Fiona grabbed Cecelia’s arm and led her away. By the time Edwin came to his senses, Cecelia and the
others had already walked far away.
Cecelia returned to her room, took a shower, andy down on the bed to rest.
In the quiette night, a dark figure swiftly shed by the window. Cecelia felt her phone vibrate and got
up to open the door for the man outside.
She and Remington had made a secret code. He would call her when he came to see her, and if she
felt the vibration, she would let him in.
Once Remington slipped into the room, he immediately embraced Cecelia in the darkness and pressed
her against the door, kissing her passionately to alleviate their longing for each other.
When the kiss became suffocating, he released her, his voice low as he asked, “I heard you got
burned. Where were you injured?”
Remington had learned about this from the servants of the Songo family.
“On my left arm, but it’s not serious,” Cecelia replied.
“Let me have a look.”
Remington turned on his phone’s shlight and illuminated her arm, where there was a red patch on
her fair skin.
Remington blew on it with concern and took out some ointment from his pocket, applying it gently on
her arm. “Be careful from now on.”
“All right. I will,” Cecelia responded.
“Let’s go. We need to take action now.”
Remington didn’t want Cecelia to go to West Garden alone, so he decided to apany her.This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
Both of them were dressed in ck attire, blending into the darkness as they made their way towards
West Garden.
On the way, they encountered a night patrol servant. They hid in a dark corner until the servant passed
and then continued running ahead.
They reached West Garden after passing through the back garden. The lights at the gate of West
Garden were on, and two male servants were standing guard.
“I’ll distract them,” Remington said to Cecelia.
“Be careful,” Cecelia reminded.
“Okay.”
With that, Remington quickly ran towards West Garden, catching the attention of the two servants.
They eximed, “Did someone just pass by? Chase after him!”
Then, Remington sessfully lured the two servants away, and Cecelia was able to approach West
Garden. This time, she didn’t open the door but instead chose a tree near the wall. She climbed over
the wall by gripping onto the branches.
As Cecelianded on the other side, therge guard dog was alerted. The dog sensed an intruder in
the garden and began barking furiously.
“Woof woof woof….”
The sound was loud and disturbing, and Cecelia could even hear the sound of the dog’s barks getting
closer.
In the thick darkness, she could see the shadow of therge guard dog running towards her. Cecelia
had no choice but to quickly climb back over the wall and retreat.
Even from a far distance, after running away from West Garden, she could still hear the barking dog.
She wondered what she should do now.
To find Jesper, she had to deal with the dog first.
Tonight, it seemed impossible to make it. The two servants returned to West Garden without any
sess in catching the suspicious person.
Cecelia hid in her previous hiding spot until Remington returned to find her.
Seeing that she was still in the same ce, Remington asked, “What’s wrong? Didn’t you take action?”
“I tried, but the dog inside was too fierce. It would alert others if I scared it. Let’s give up today and think
of another way,” Cecelia exined.
“Well, I’ll think of a solutionter,” said Remington.
Both of them returned to Cecelia’s room. Remington walked Cecelia back to her room, and she urged
him to go back quickly to avoid being discovered.
But Remington was reluctant to leave. After entering the room, he held her tightly, saying, “Cece, I’m
hungry.”
“Didn’t you have dinner tonight?” Cecelia asked.
“I did, but I’m not satisfied,” Remington whispered.
In the darkness, his eyes sparkled, and his warm breath surrounded her.
