âRemington, I do.â She nodded with a smile.
âGreat!â Their friends all cheered enthusiastically and applauded. Remington finally heard the answer he had expected. He was excited and couldnât wait to take out the diamond ring and put it on Ceceliaâs left finger.
The next second, he picked Cecelia up and spun her around three times.
He was so happy!
He was in high spirits. She was the only one in his eyes and his heart.
âPut me down!â Cecelia exclaimed and patted him on the shoulder, asking him to let go.
After Remington let go of her, he kissed Cecelia directly with all the guests watching.
His sweet kiss made all the singles present envious.
The applause and blessings continued, and Petunia couldnât stand it anymore. She felt unfortunate and quietly left the banquet.
Camelia didnât want to applaud; her applause was sparse, and her heart was full of contempt.
So what if Cecelia could marry Remington?
Cecelia would eventually grow old and ugly, and Remington would certainly dislike her one day!
When Winnie in the audience saw Remingtonâs proposal to Cecelia and the scene of them kissing sweetly, she finally believed that Remington and Cecelia were a perfect couple.
They were looking at each other with unhidden love in their eyes. It was true love!
She could see it!
Maybe she had misunderstood. She had been biased, narrow- minded, and jealous for no reason.
It was indeed her fault that the marriage between her and her husband had come to this. At this moment, Winnie completely woke up.
After the proposal, Remington took Cecelia off the stage. The emcee continued hosting the rest of the event, âLet us give our applause and blessings to Mr. Remington and Miss Cecelia again!â
Applause broke out again, and the emcee continued, âNow, letâs do a small interactive activity. All the children brought by the guests can come on stage to participate in this fun painting activity, and there will be small gifts for them!â
The emcee introduced the content of the activity and asked all the children present to draw together.
The staff was ready, and a long canvas was spread out on the stage. Each child could use their imagination to draw their favorite pictures on it.
The four children of the Nelson family, Hubert, and the children brought by other guests were all invited to the stage to participate in the painting activity.
All the guests watched the childrenâs painting. The scene was lively, and the children used colorful paintbrushes to create colorful pictures.
While the children were painting, Cecelia noticed Maggie leaving the scene and followed her.
Maggie went out to look for her daughter. She searched everywhere in the garden outside the hotel but couldnât find her daughter, who didnât answer her calls.
The sound of high heels came from behind. Maggie turned her head and saw Cecelia coming.
âMiss Linsey, did you come to see me?â
âYes, Mrs. Taylor! I have something I want to talk to you about.â
Cecelia came to her. Maggie snorted coldly, âMiss Linsey, you were proposed to in public today. Youâre the center of attention, and many girls are envious. Even if you want to talk, I donât think you should falk to me, right?â
âStop doing bushing around the bush. I already knew it. You are also from Dark Moon. Esmeeâs death has something to do with you.ââ Cecelia got straight to the point.
Maggie had prepared a countermeasure, âNow that you know it, I wonât hide anything. Yes, I used to be from Dark Moon, but Iâm no longer working for Dark Moon. Also, you are wrong about Esmeeâs death. It has nothing to do with me.
Expecting that Maggie would deny it, Cecelia stared at her sharply and said, âYou have quit Dark Moon, but you still have a death contract. Otherwise, you wouldnât have lurked for five years and raised my daughter. Itâs a pity that your plan failed eventually. Arenât you disappointed?â
Maggie smiled coldly and said nothing.
Cecelia walked past her, stopped, and continued, âIâm curious. How long will your death contract last?
What are the terms of the exchangé?â
She wanted to determine the exchange conditions for Maggieâs willingness to sign the death contrast.
What had made Maggie so willing to live with the death contrast?
âYou are no longer from Dark Moon, and I do no need to tell you!â Maggie had learned the news about Ceceliaâs withdrawal from Dark Moon from Tobiani.
âThatâs right. I quit.â
âDid you also sign a death contract?â
âOf course not. I am free now. I was able to escape unscathed thanks to Jersey. If he hadnât taken a bullet for me, I might not have withdrawn so easily.â
âJersey⦠was shot?â Maggieâs emotions fluctuated when she heard the news. Tobiani hadnât even told her about it!
âWhat does his being shot have to do with you?â
Cecelia noticed the change in Maggieâs face. When she mentioned Jersey, Maggieâs expression changed slightly.
Was there something going on between them?
Maggie realized her blunder and quickly regained her composure, âIf you just want to tell me that you have quit the organization, I have no interest in knowing about it.
Maggie walked away from her, but Cecelia spoke again, âDo you know how many people you killed?â
Maggie paused slightly, âWhat do you mean?â
âMr. Miller was ruined at your hands. Jessica and her sister, Kara of Dark Moon, helped you eliminate Esmee as a stumbling block, You were afraid that Kara would be exposed, so you sent someone to kill Kara!!!
âKara is dead? I didnât kill her!â Maggie denied it again.
Cecelia turned around, and her eyes were icy cold, âYou can deny it, but donât forget that you will give yourself away sooner or later! Murder must be paid with life, and blood must be paid with blood! What you owe will eventually be paid!â
With these harsh words, Cecelia went back to the hotel. Maggie stared at her back in a trance for a long time. In the end, she did not return to the hotel.
Thinking of the deadline of her death contract, Maggie narrowed her eyes. Her time was running out!
At the activity site, the childrenâs paintings were almost completed. Each child finally left a little handprint on it and received a small reward gift.
The children took photos with their paintings and happily followed the staff away from the scene with their gifts.
Next, this giant long scroll was hung up and placed in the most eye- catching venue.
The emcee continued, âAs weâve seen, the children have vibrant imaginations, and their world is so colorful. I want to thank every child who participated. Thank you!
âMr. Nelson will purchase this painting with a value of 100 million to show his support for charity. This painting will be displayed at the Sierra International headquarters.â
All the guests applauded when they heard about the purpose of the painting and Remingtonâs original intention.
After this session, it was the dance session that everyone had been. looking forward to. As soon as Cecelia entered the venue, she heard melodious waltz music and saw Remington walking towards her from the crowd proudly and elegantly.
