Married by Accident, Taming the Billionaire novel Chapter 321

Chapter 321 Caring More about Him than She Thought 

"Cecelia, you can't leave!" 

"Don't let her go! She killed someone. Does she still want to escape?" 

"There are so many eyewitnesses. Is she planning to deny it?" 

Some of the wealthy ladies who disliked Cecelia were now kicking her while she was down, blocking her way and stopping her from leaving. 

Outside, many guests had just arrived from downstairs and had no idea what was happening. 

Coincidentally, there was a firework show going on at this time, and many of the latecomers were leaning on the railing, enjoying the spectacle. 

Remington, Sam, and Rupert came upstairs, chatting as they walked. 

A waiter walked toward them. He stared at Remington while aiming the hidden gun muzzle beneath the tray at him. 

The sharp-eyed Remington noticed something off about the waiter's behavior. When he heard the gunshot, he immediately dodged and pushed Rupert and Sam away. 

The sound of the gunshot blended with the explosions of the fireworks, and it didn't attract any attention from the people around. 

Sensing danger, Remington shouted loudly, "Watch out, everyone!" 

Seeing that the waiter was about to shoot again, Remington kicked out, hitting the waiter's wrist and causing the gun to misfire, leaving a clear bullet hole in the nearby wall. 

After the assailant failed in both attempts, he quickly turned to escape. Regardless of the danger, Remington chased after him. 

Rupert and Sam also realized that there were criminals on board who had just attempted to attack Remington, and they joined in the pursuit. 

Jersey quickly learned about the murder on the cruise. Startled, Jersey immediately left the performance hall and went to the crime scene with his men. 

The guests at the entrance moved aside when they saw Jersey arrive. 

Jersey led his men inside and saw Cecelia and Roger, as well as the waiter, who was sitting against the wall, covered in blood. 

"Cecelia, Mr. Shawn, what's going on? What happened here?" Jersey asked in shock, especially when he saw the blood on Cecelia's dress and hands. 

Before Roger could explain, the guests behind them started yelling, "Cecelia killed someone…" 

"I didn't kill anyone." 

Just as Cecelia finished her sentence, she heard the sound of fireworks exploding outside. It sounded similar to gunshots. 

"Move away!" 

Assuming that Black Hawk was taking action, Cecelia did not waste any time. She pushed through the obstructing guests and rushed outside. 

"Captain Shawn, catch the murderer! Don't let her escape!" Someone yelled, trying to cause trouble to Cecelia. 

Roger also heard the gunshots outside and realized something was amiss. He quickly followed after Cecelia. 

The guests assumed he was going after Cecelia. Winnie felt that she had finally vented her anger, assuming that as this time Cecelia had committed the murder herself, the law wouldn't go easy on her. 

Winnie hoped her husband would catch Cecelia. 

After examining the deceased, Jersey ordered his men to secure the crime scene and instructed the cruise to return to port. 

Once the instructions were given, he also hurried out of the lounge. 

Cecelia arrived in the corridor outside and saw fireworks exploding ahead. Many unsuspecting people were gathering at the front railing, enjoying the fireworks. 

She began searching through the crowd for Remington but couldn't find him anywhere. 

"Where is Remington?" wondered Cecelia. 

Never before had there been a moment where she felt so anxious. 

It was safe to say she was burning with worry. 

Only now did she truly realize how much she cared about Remington. 

Her diamond high heels weren't practical for running, so Cecelia took them off and carried them in her hand, sprinting barefoot down the corridor. 

"Remington!"
