“What expression did you just make? What was so funny?”

Remington held her down somehow, feeling that they hadn’t finished their conversation.

Cecelia didn’t have time to waste with him and frowned. “What’s wrong with laughing? Don’t you think you’re boring? If you don’t let go, don’t blame me for being rude!”

Exactly at that moment, someone else arrived and hurried into the next sfall.

Soon, Cecelia and Remington both realized that something seemed off.

There were voices of a man and a woman.

They were actually having sex in the stall.

Upon realizing what they were doing, Remington felt a sudden sense of agitation, and Cecelia was extremely embarrassed.

“I have to leave this place right now,” thought Cecelia.

She pushed the man away and was determined to leave, but as soon as she turned around, she noticed an embarrassing problem.

The front of her dress was covered with a layer of hollow lace fabric, which happened to be h ooked onto the gemstone cufflink on Remington’s suit at the moment.

As she walked away, she took his arm with her.

Remington had to pull her back again.

“Are you playing hard to get?”

He gritted his teeth sightly.

Cecelia bit her bottom lip and glanced at Remington, thinking, “B ullsh it! When did I ever play hard to get?”

Remington’s eyes were dark and unfathomable as he stared daggers at her.

If eyes could kill, Cecelia would have died a thousand times over.

Remington thought to himself, “She’s really good at playing tricks. Hmph! She tries to fool me again and again. She’s really excellent in playing hard to get.”

Cecelia furrowed her brows even more and could only grit her teeth to untangle the tangled parts.

Remington gazed down, but when he saw something he shouldn’t have seen, he quickly looked away, thinking, “Hmph! I’m sure that she just meant it.”

The more Cecelia tried to untangle it, the tighter the knot became. She couldn’t find a way to undo it, so in the end, she had to muster up the courage to tear apart the lacy fabric.

Finally, she could free herself from Remington. She left without looking back.

Remington was left standing alone, staring down at the piece of lace. fabric hanging from his cufflink.

He wondered, “She left just after tearing off the fabric? Then would she potentially expose herself at any moment?

Remington snapped back to reality and quickly stuffed the lace fabric into his sleeve before chasing after her.

But Cecelia was already nowhere to be seen.

The thought of many men drooling over her made Remington’s blood boil.

She was his ex-wife, after all. How could he let other men take advantage of her?

Hence, Remington picked up the phone and dialed Fredric’s number. “Prepare a dress. Size….

Fredric was left bewildered and thought, “Why did Mr. Nelson. suddenly need to prepare a dress? Who is it for?”

Just when Remington was planning to go to the banquet hall, he heard a woman’s voice behind him.

“Cecelia is not in the ladies’ restroom. I don’t know if she’s doing something secretive.”

“Who cares! As long as she comes back later, we’ll teach her a good lesson! Let’s drug her and embarrass her in front of the whole school!”

“Great idea!”

Remington turned around and saw Ophelia and another woman walking away in the opposite direction.

His eye turned cold after he heard their conversation.

After searching around, Cecelia still failed to find the suspicious. figure she was looking for and had to return to the private room. The dinner party in the private room was still going on, and someone was improvising on stage with a microphone.

When Cecelia returned to her seat, Ariella asked her, “Cece, why were you gone for so long?”

“I just went to attend to something private,” responded Cecelia. “You haven’t had anything yet. Hurry up and grab something to eat!”

As soon as Ariella finished speaking, someone called out to her, “Ariella, it’s your turn.”

“Cece, it’s my turn now. I’m going up,” Ariella said.

Everyone had a chance to speak, and after Ariella took the stage, Cecelia scanned the crowd.

A few female students were talking to Ophelia about the fashion show.

“Ollie, your design style is so unique. We’ll all come to support your for the new product fashion show!”

“Thank you!”

The waiter came in with a tray of juice, one glass for each person, and placed them down one by one.

Cecelia also got a glass of juice. When she looked up at the two women opposite her, she noticed smirks on their delicate faces.

Ophelia stood up, picked up the juice, and said, “Cecelia, no matter what, you are my sister. The Linsey Group is going to hold a fashion show fomorrow and we would like to invite you to attend. Do you have time?”

“Sorry! I may not be available.”

Cecelia could see through Ophelia’s intention and knew it wasn’t a sincere invitation.

“It’s okay if you’re busy. We’ll have plenty of opportunities to meet in the future. I heard you divorced Mr. Nelson. I hope you can bounce back soon. Cheers to you, Cece!”

Ophelia qulped down her juice and acted like a caring sister.

Cecelia knew what Ophelia was up to, and she would like to play the game with Ophelia.

Then, Cecelia picked up her juice, sniffed it lightly, and then took a sip.

At the sight of it, Ophelia tried to contain her excitement. “Good! Cecelia, you’re doomed. You’ll surely make a fool of yourself in front of all the teachers and students at the school celebration in an hour. I’ve already prepared to record the video.”

The class reunion’s atmosphere was quite lively. After the meal, everyone rushed to the University of Center City.

The 100th-anniversary celebration of the University of Center City was more grand than ever before.

The university was well decorated, with a big red banner hanging on the school gate reading the 100th anniversary of the University of Center City. Words like “Welcome back to your alma mater!” were also printed on it.

The celebration was held at the school stadium, where a huge stage had been set up and the school song was sounding passionately. When Cecelia and her classmates arrived, students from other grades had already come.

Everyone searched for their class location based on their graduation time. When Cecelia walked into the venue, she met Shepard.

Shepard came over to say hello, and Ariella and her friends went inside. “Cece, just have a talk with my brother. We’ll wait for you inside.”

“Shepard, I thought you weren’t coming!”

Cecelia heard from Ariella that Shepard had to perform an important surgery today and might not be able to attend the celebration party. “The surgery was rescheduled, so I have some free time.”

Shepard and Cecelia started chatting, while Remington was sitting in his luxury car at a distance, watching the two of them.

Then, Remington’s face darkened slightly.

Fredric noticed it and asked, “Mr. Nelson, Miss Linsey, and Dr. Nuno are talking with each other. What should we do?”

“Do you need me to teach you?” Remington asked coldly, glaring at Fredric.

Upon receiving the glare, Fredric grabbed his bag and quickly ran over to Cecelia.

“Miss Linsey!”

At that, Cecelia turned and found Fredric waving at her. She said to Shepard, “Shepard, just go in. I’ll be right there.”

“Okay!”

After Shepard left, Cecelia asked Fredric, “What’s up? Can I help you?”

“Miss Linsey, Mr. Nelson asked me to prepare this for you. He hopes you can change into it quickly to avoid any wardrobe malfunctions. Fredric handed over a bag, and Cecelia glanced down to see that it contained a dress.

She realized that Remington had prepared it for her probably because she had torn her dress in the restroom earlier.

She thought to herself, “But this isn’t care. He’s just afraid that I will expose myself and embarrass him.”

After all, she was his ex-wife, and Remington was a man who cared so much about his reputation.

Cecelia was well aware of what was on his mind.

She didn’t even take it. “Take it away! I don’t need it.”

Fredric knew that she wouldn’t accept it and he anxiously said, “Miss Linsey, if you don’t take it, I won’t be able to explain to Mr. Nelson.

“None of my business!”

Cecelia turned to leave, but Fredric stopped her again.

“Miss Linsey, please! Mr. Nelson said if you don’t change, he’ll make me wear it in public. I really don’t want to be regarded as a freak. Could you please have mercy and help me out?”
