Married by Accident, Taming the Billionaire novel Chapter 259

Chapter 259 One of Maggie's Missteps

Back then, Jessica and Kara, the sisters, saved her. They took her to a safe place for childbirth. After the last child was born, they informed her of its death.

Kara sent the child away for disposal. So how did Maggie coincidentally find the child?

If the baby died, even if they disposed of it, it would have been in some remote location. How did Maggie manage to come across the child?

There were numerous inconsistencies and doubts within this story.

She had doubted Jessica and Kara, but they were both members of Dark Moon. Cecelia had even contacted them and found no issues.

Their loyalty to Cecelia and Dark Moon was strong, and there was no evidence of betrayal or their siding with Maggie.

"My subordinate happened to pass by, found the child, and brought her to me. I believe I've answered this question for you before."

"Who is your subordinate? Where is he now? I want to meet him!"

Cecelia made the demand.

Maggie chuckled softly, "Well, he resigned and left a year ago. I don't know where he is now."

Cecelia narrowed her eyes at Maggie's inscrutable face. "Even if what you say is true, I still don't believe it! You've worked tirelessly and waited for five years if not longer, to obtain The Collection of Fragrant Clothes. I'm sure you must have strong reasons for wanting it so badly. What are those reasons?"

Maggie locked eyes with her and didn't respond.

From her silence, Cecelia deduced that Maggie's goal wasn't as simple as acquiring an ancient book.

While ancient texts were valuable, there were countless other treasures, and Maggie had no reason to fixate on just one.

What was her true objective?

Could it be because of the rumored treasure in the ancient tombs?

After waiting a moment, Cecelia took a deep breath and said with conviction, "Mrs. Taylor, I'll figure it out even if you don't tell me! Don't forget, Esmee is still in my hands!"

Threatening her with Esmee?

Finally, Maggie got a little flustered, and her brows furrowed. "I've given you Doris. Can't you just let it go?"

This was another one of Maggie's missteps. She regretted not having Esmee killed abroad all those years ago. Leaving Esmee alive had turned into a thorn in her side.

"Heh, considering all those despicable things you have done, I'll never let it go!"

Cecelia approached Maggie, warning her, "If you're willing to reveal all the details to me, maybe I'll appreciate it. But if I find out you're involved, Mrs. Taylor, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

After delivering her warning, Cecelia walked directly past Maggie and out of the gate.

Maggie watched Cecelia's retreating figure with narrowed eyes. From today on, it was clear that she and Cecelia were destined to be enemies.

Outside the hotel, Remington walked hand in hand with his daughter. Petunia's voice reached them from behind.

"Mr. Nelson!"

Remington turned around, seeing Petunia approaching him. He understood she might have something to say, so he let Fredric take his daughter away first.

"Ms. Taylor!"

"Hmph, I can't believe the esteemed CEO of the Nelson Group is also a master of deceit. I shouldn't have trusted you!"

Petunia looked at Remington, her eyes brimming with intense hatred. "I gave you my whole heart, but what about you? You've just been leading me on! You're a fraud!"

Petunia was so angry that she wanted to hit Remington, but he caught her wrist. "Ms. Taylor, I admit I got close to you for Doris but never promised anything. Nor have I ever led you on. You're overthinking it!"

"Did... did you feel nothing for me?"

Petunia's tears welled up, and she asked in distress.
