The second Angelo heard that, his eyes glimmered, and he licked his lips. “Haha! That means I'm going to die among women.”
Cecilia was so mad that she panted heavily, but she did not dare to say anything.
After helping Angelo to settle down, Cecilia thrashed everything in the hall to vent the rage in her heart.
That was the only way she could vent her emotions.
“Lady Jingle, can that person really help us to get rid of Peyton? Why do I get the feeling he's not a reliable person?’’ one of the elders asked in puzzlement.
“Exactly. That man looks useless and lecherous. It makes me want to dig his eyes out so bad,” said another elder furiously.
Cecilia recollected herself before saying slowly, “Regardless he's capable or not, he's our only hope for now. Remember what I've said. When the crucial moment comes, take Millie and flee. Don't bother about me—”
Suddenly, Millie barged in and stared at Cecilia with teary eyes. “I'll never leave without you, Cecilia!”
Seeing Millie had rushed in and found out about everything, Cecilia waved her hand to tell the elders to leave.
“Millie, don't be stubborn. I'm doing this to protect Crimson Palace. As long as you're alive and have the palace head's decree, you can still rebuild Crimson Palace.” Cecilia stepped forward and gently wiped Millie's tears.
“I won't. I won't leave you behind. If you die, then we'll die together. I can't live without you, Cecilia!” Millie buried her head in Cecilia's embrace.
“You silly child. You're all grown up. You can still live well without me.” Cecilia began tearing up as well. Of course, she wanted to stay with Millie. On top of that, she knew Millie would have a tough life if she left Millie. After all, the latter was still young.
However, she had no other choice but to prepare herself for the worst.
Right then, Jared came to Millie’s mind, and she asked Cecilia about him, “Cecilia, where's Jared? Where did he go?”
“He must've left Crimson Palace long ago.”
