Chapter 117 Deeply Impressed by Her
In theory, after being wrongly accused and then honored, Cecelia should have wildly fluctuating emotions like a pendulum.
But she didn't.
She was calm and unruffled with a cold and indifferent expression all the time.
She looked so detached as if she were not involved at all.
Cecelia didn't take the check for 150 thousand dollars sent by Roger.
"Thank you for the commendation from the police department, but I don't need this check. Captain Shawn, I hope you can help me distribute the money equally among the families of several victims. They should need compensation more than I do. Even if it's just a drop in the bucket, I hope it can help them."
No one had expected Cecelia to make such an arrangement. She actually refused to take the prize and even cared for the families of the deceased.
"Oh my goodness! This kind of generosity is truly astonishing and moving. Perhaps this is a reflection of her personal charisma," thought Roger to himself.
At this moment, he was extremely excited and deeply impressed by Cecelia.
Remington was also shocked by Cecelia's actions once again, and he was puzzled, wondering, "She didn't want 1.5 million before, and now she refused to take 150 thousand. Is she pretending to be generous, or does she really not care about money?"
Roger nodded with great excitement. "Okay. I will definitely convey your kindness.
"There is also a letter of appreciation from the families of the deceased here. It stands for their heartfelt gratitude toward you, and they hope you can accept it."
Roger showed Cecelia the letter, on which was written, "Thank you for punishing the evil and upholding justice for us!" with the signatures of representatives of the families of the deceased below.
In fact, Cecelia had just lifted a finger to help, and she didn't need any of these honors or gifts. But since Roger personally delivered it, she had to accept it.
"Alright. I'll accept the gift. Please thank them for me!"
"Sure thing. By the way, Miss Cecelia, the reporters want to interview you. Do you have time?"
The recent serial murder case had a tremendous impact on society, and now that it had been solved, the upper management paid great attention to it, and they hoped to project a typical image of a hero who spared no effort to protect the world.
"I'm sorry. I'm afraid I don't have time. Since there's nothing urgent, I'll just leave now."
Cecelia declined the interview and expressed her gratitude to Remington before leaving. "Thank you, Mr. Nelson, for your help just now! Goodbye!"
After saying those words, Cecelia turned around coldly. Her clothes fluttered as she walked out of the Nelson's without looking back.
Fredric was stunned. He had never admired any woman before, but if he had to choose one, it would definitely be Cecelia.
Winger also felt that only a woman like Cecelia deserved Remington.
It was a pity that Cecelia and Remington were already divorced.
The most shocked one, without a doubt, was Remington.
Recalling her words and actions just now, he thought Cecelia was so cool.
With this evaluation, he overturned his perception of Cecelia for the first time.
He couldn't describe what he was feeling inside when watching her leave.
She left so coldly and indifferently, without a trace of nostalgia.
However, a wave of strange feelings flooded over Remington.
He actually felt reluctant to part with her.
After Cecelia left, Roger and Remington said goodbye and left with their people.
Renee, Camelia, and Sabrina would enjoy a day trip to the police station and spend 24 hours in the detention room.
Fredric and the others pushed Remington back to the Aroma Villa, excitedly chatting along the way.
"Miss Linsey is so cool. She's a real wonder woman. She actually caught the serial killer. How awesome she is!"
"Indeed, she's awesome," Winger echoed.
"Awesome? She's a real demon, all right? You guys don't know how badly she tricked me."
Remington answered with a hint of disappointment. He didn't feel as excited as he thought he would after divorcing Cecelia.
"But I think Miss Linsey has done a lot since she came to the Nelson family. Mr. Nelson, without her protection, you and Andres wouldn't be doing so well."
"That's because you're incompetent and can't protect us well enough. You should be sent to the camp for proper training," snapped Remington.
"Well...."
Fredric freaked out and thought, "Why does Mr. Nelson suddenly seem to dislike me so much? Why can't we just chat happily? Does he want to send me to the horrible training camp of Mysterious Realm? No! Please don't! I don't want to die."
