Married by Accident Taming the Billionaire (Cecilia)
Chapter 369 Misery

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 exclaimed, "Edwin, when did you come 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 product launch, and Mizey had complained 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 accidentally 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 glanced at it and calmly accepted 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 discomfort. "I'm fine. Da*n!"

Although she said she was fine, the pain grew more intense and uncontrollable. 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-in-law 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 explain with her hand over her belly, but it was already too late. 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 uncontrollably. 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 slapped.

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, and lay down on the bed to rest.

In the quiet late night, a dark figure swiftly flashed 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 flashlight 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 accompany her.

Both of them were dressed in black 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 exclaimed, "Did someone just pass by? Chase after him!"

Then, Remington successfully 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 Cecelia landed on the other side, the large 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 the large 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 success 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 place, 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 explained.

"Well, I'll think of a solution later," 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.
