Chapter 230 The Huge Secret Hidden in the Secret Recipe
Both Cecelia and Remington were stunned after speaking and wondered when they had become so in sync.
After a moment of silence, Remington asked, "Shall I come to you?"
"Let's meet at the Monishore Riverbank Cafe on Maple Street." Cecelia chose a nearby location.
"Alright."
When Cecelia arrived at the Monishore Riverbank Cafe, Remington had just arrived as well, with both of their cars parked one behind the other.
"Cece."
After getting out of the car, Remington approached Cecelia.
Cecelia said, "Let's talk inside."
They entered the cafe together and found a secluded corner to sit down.
Cecelia asked, "What did you want to tell me?"
"Here is the information about the Songo family in Poremathe. Take a look!"
Remington handed Cecelia some documents, and she took them and flipped through them.
These were all the family members' information about the Songo family, the same as the results she had previously requested the Dark Moon Pavilion to investigate.
At present, the head of the Songo family was Alfred, who was also Cecelia's grandmother's cousin as well as Cecelia's great-uncle.
Alfred had married three women, and the total number of children he had officially registered reached up to twelve.
From the chart, it was clear that the Songo family was large and prosperous, with numerous descendants.
Cecelia raised her gaze and asked, "The Songo family is really large. Did you find anything suspicious?"
"The Songo family still maintains the Songo Dyehouse and also has the Songo Group, which holds significant influence in Bemanko. The Songo family is the largest family in the entire Porema. Surface-level investigation shows everything is normal, and we couldn't find anything wrong for now."
"Why can't such a big family business accommodate my grandmother? Perhaps what we see is only the tip of the iceberg, and they may not be completely legal," remarked Cecelia.
"Yes, we need to continue investigating in secret," Remington told her another important matter, "By the way, I've learned some clues related to The Collection of Fragrant Clothes."
"What?" Cecelia leaned closer as Remington raised his hand to his mouth and whispered into her ear.
"There are rumors in the black market that The Collection of Fragrant Clothes is not only a secret recipe for making scented clothes, but it also hides a secret map. It is said that the map can unlock the ancient tomb treasury. I suspect that those who want to find The Collection of Fragrant Clothes are after this purpose."
Remington leaned back after finishing his sentences. Cecelia's face was full of astonishment. "How is that possible? It sounds like a ridiculous rumor. I've already read it, and there's no map inside."
Cecelia had read the first half of the secret recipe, which only recorded some spice formulas and dyeing methods. How could there be a tomb map?
"I also think it's impossible, but outsiders don't think so. People are driven by interests, and those who want to find The Collection of Fragrant Clothes will do anything for it."
Rumors could really harm people.
Cecelia sighed and told Remington the truth, "You know what? I met Maggie today and we talked about Doris. Guess what condition she proposed?"
"Did she ask you to join the Taylor Group?" Remington guessed.
"Yes, that's one of the conditions. She proposed another one, saying that she wants me to give her a full copy of The Collection of Fragrant Clothes in exchange for Doris."
"What? Does Maggie also want The Collection of Fragrant Clothes?" Remington asked in shock.
"That's right. She wants it. Otherwise, there's no deal." Cecelia felt a pang of sadness and frustration at the thought of not being able to get her daughter back.
Remington slammed the table in anger, "Da*n it! Let me just take some people to her and snatch Doris back! What's there to discuss with that old witch?"
