Chapter 259 One of Maggie’s Missteps

Back then, Jessica and Kara, the sisters, saved her. They took her to a safe place for childbirth. After the last child was born, they informed her of its death.

Kara sent the child away for disposal. So how did Maggie coincidentally find the child?

If the baby died, even if they disposed of it, it would have been in some remote location. How did Maggie manage to come across the child?

There were numerous inconsistencies and doubts within this story.

She had doubted Jessica and Kara, but they were both members of Dark Moon. Cecelia had even contacted them and found no issues.

Their loyalty to Cecelia and Dark Moon was strong, and there was no evidence of betrayal or their siding with Maggie.

“My subordinate happened to pass by, found the child, and brought her to me. I believe I’ve answered this question for you before.”

“Who is your subordinate? Where is he now? I want to meet him!”

Cecelia made the demand.

Maggie chuckled softly, “Well, he resigned and left a year ago. I don’t know where he is now.

Cecelia narrowed her eyes at Maggie’s inscrutable face. “Even if what you say is true, I still don’t believe it! You’ve worked tirelessly and waited for five years if not longer, to obtain The Collection of

Fragrant Clothes. I’m sure you must have strong reasons for wanting it so badly. What are those reasons?”

Maggie locked eyes with her and didn’t respond.

From her silence, Cecelia deduced that Maggie’s goal wasn’t as simple as acquiring an ancient book.

While ancient texts were valuable, there were countless other treasures, and Maggie had no reason to fixate on just one.

What was her true objective?

Could it be because of the rumored treasure in the ancient tombs?

After waiting a moment, Cecelia took a deep breath and said with conviction, “Mrs. Taylor, I’ll figure it out even if you don’t tell me! Don’t forget, Esmee is still in my hands!”

Threatening her with Esmee?

Finally, Maggie got a little flustered, and her brows furrowed. “I’ve given you Doris. Can’t you just let it go?”

This was another one of Maggie’s missteps. She regretted not having Esmee killed abroad all those years ago. Leaving Esmee alive had turned into a thorn in her side.

“Heh, considering all those despicable things you have done, never let it go!”

Cecelia approached Maggie, warning her, “If you’re willing to reveal all the details to me, maybe I’ll appreciate it. But if I find out you’re involved, Mrs. Taylor, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

After delivering her warning, Cecelia walked directly past Maggie and out of the gate.

Maggie watched Cecelia’s retreating figure with narrowed eyes. From today on, it was clear that she and Cecelia were destined to be enemies.

Outside the hotel, Remington walked hand in hand with his daughter. Petunia’s voice reached them from behind.

“Mr. Nelson!”

Remington turned around, seeing Petunia approaching him. He understood she might have something to say, so he let Fredric take his daughter away first.

“Ms. Taylor!”

“Hmph, I can’t believe the esteemed CEO of the Nelson Group is also a master of deceit. I shouldn’t have trusted you!”

Petunia looked at Remington, her eyes brimming with intense hatred. “I gave you my whole heart, but what about you? You’ve just been leading me on! You’re a fraud!”

Petunia was so angry that she wanted to hit Remington, but he caught her wrist. “Ms. Taylor, I admit I got close to you for Doris but never promised anything. Nor have I ever led you on. You’re overthinking it!”

“Did… did you feel nothing for me?”

Petunia’s tears welled up, and she asked in distress.

She couldn’t accept that her first romantic attachment had been a deception.

She still held an unrealistic fantasy about Remington.

“I’m sorry, but you can find someone better. You don’t need to waste your time on me.

Shrugging off Petunia’s hand, Remington turned around and walked away coldly.

However, Petunia was determined. She couldn’t let go of

Remington. She rushed forward and embraced his waist from behind.

“Remington, please don’t leave. Be with me, and I’ll be the best. partner for you. I’m young and attractive, not any less than Cecelia. If you date me, you’ll see that I’m your perfect match. Cecelia can give you children, and so can I! I can have as many children as your want!”

Petunia’s pleading was humble, but Remington pried her hands off. “Don’t waste your time, Ms. Taylor. And don’t try to compare yourself to Cece. No one can replace her in my heart. She’s irreplaceable.”

With these cold words, Remington walked away without turning back.”

Petunia was left standing in place, watching the man walk away with sorrow, anger, and confusion. Why give her hope and then cruelly take it away?

Why treat her this way?

What had she done wrong?

Why couldn’t she compare to Cecelia? NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

High heels clicking on the ground reached her ears from behind. Petunia turned around and saw Cecelia approaching, her eyes blazing with hatred.

If it weren’t for her, Remington might have been with her!

Cecelia had witnessed everything that just happened, Petunia had indeed developed feelings for Remington, but she had chosen the wrong person.

“Cecelia!”

Petunia reached out and stopped her.

Cecelia gave the distorted woman a cold glance; her face twisted in anger. “Ms. Taylor, what do you want?”

“I have something to say! Since you’re divorced now, why aren’t you

going far away? Why do you keep showing up in front of

Remington? If you keep using the child as an excuse to find him, how could he ever forget you?”

“I’m divorced from him. What does that have to do with you?”

“It’s all because of you that he couldn’t choose me! If you weren’t around, he would’ve chosen me!”

Petunia said with resentment.

“Are you sure? He would choose you if I weren’t around? If that’s the case, why have you and Remington not made any progress over these past years when I wasn’t in the Center City?”

“If he cared about you, why hasn’t he looked for you in the past few years?”

“If you had feelings for him long ago, why didn’t you take care of him when he had an accident?”

“Am I the reason you couldn’t get Remington?”

Cecelia’s questions left Petunia speechless.

Tears of frustration swirled in her eyes. She was trying to maintain. her usual pride; she didn’t want to admit defeat or show weakness in front of Cecelia.

“Ms. Taylor, let me offer you some advice. Before loving someone else, learn to love yourself. Love that is begged for and born out of submission cannot last. When you are good enough, you can win any man’s heart. It was never meant to be yours if you can’t have it by forcing it!”

Cecelia left the hotel, and Verda came over to pick her up.

“Let’s go back to Bluebell Mansion.”

“Okay!”

Verda slowly drove onto the main road, but at that moment, a rapidly approaching vehicle suddenly crashed head–on into their car.
