Married by Accident, Taming the Billionaire novel Chapter 296

Chapter 296 Embarrassing Cecelia in Public

"Mr. Nelson! Miss Linsey! Watch out behind you!"

Winger, who was in the distance, saw this scene and hurried back, but it was too late.

At this critical moment, a man in a white suit happened to arrive as well. Seeing the situation, he rushed up, and with his suit jacket, he shielded Cecelia and Remington from the paint.

The man's white suit was instantly stained. Both Cecelia and Remington turned back and saw a young man standing in front of them, red paint dripping down his clothes.

Heather stood frozen in place with an empty paint bottle in her hand.

Realizing she had splashed on the wrong person, Heather instinctively wanted to escape, but Winger and his men caught her in time.

"She is picking quarrels and provoking trouble. Take her to the police!" Remington ordered, and Winger had his men take Heather away.

"Let go! Let go of me!"

Heather didn't want to go to the police station, but in the end, she was taken away.

"Are you alright, sir? Thank you for your help!" Cecelia expressed her gratitude to the man who had come forward to shield her from the paint.

"I'm fine."

The man raised his head, revealing a strikingly handsome face.

Judging from his attire, it was evident that he was affluent and possessed an elegant and noble demeanor.

Noticing that the man's mesmerizing eyes were constantly fixated on Cecelia, Remington instinctively put his arm around Cecelia's shoulder and thanked him. "Thank you for helping us, sir! Your clothes got dirty. Shall I compensate you?"

"No, thanks! It's just a piece of clothing. It's my honor to protect Miss Linsey," the man responded as he took off his paint-stained suit jacket and threw it into a nearby trash can.

It was clear that he didn't care about his clothes at all.

Cecelia was surprised and wondered, "How did he know my surname? Does he know me?"

"See you later, Miss Linsey!"

The man gave her a slight smile and then walked past them into the venue.

"Do you know him?" Remington didn't quite like the way that man had looked at Cecelia, and he felt upset when he noticed that the man knew Cecelia's name.

"No, I don't know him."

Cecelia shook her head. She really didn't know that man, but he seemed to know her as if they were old acquaintances. She wondered what was going on.

"Let's go in to have a look."

Cecelia retook Remington's arm, and they successfully obtained their paddles before heading to the reception area beside the auction hall.

As Remington and Cecelia made their appearance, attracting the attention of the crowd, a stir arose, and many people cast their gazes toward them.

Camelia noticed them among the crowd and said to her sister-in-law, "Winnie, Cecelia has really come."

Winnie turned around and snorted coldly when she saw Cecelia holding onto Remington. "What a shameless sl*t! I can't believe she can even boldly appear in public while holding her ex-husband's hand. How disgusting!"

"Exactly. What a sl*t!"

Camelia hated Cecelia because if it weren't for Cecelia, they wouldn't have been kicked out of KLCS and made a fool of themselves in public.

Therefore, Camelia decided to get back at Cecelia today.

"I have already made arrangements. See how I'm going to teach her a lesson in a while!" Camelia said.

Having checked beforehand that Cecelia would be attending the auction, Camelia had made plans to embarrass her in public.

Both Camelia and Winnie scoffed at Cecelia.

Maggie and Petunia also arrived at the reception area. Petunia felt a sense of hatred when she saw Cecelia and Remington appear together because she still believed that Cecelia had ruined the relationship between Remington and her.

"Mom, that bi*ch is here too."
