Married by Accident, Taming the Billionaire novel Chapter 349

Chapter 349 The Strongest Desire at This Moment

Seeing that Jessica's mental defenses were on the brink of collapsing, Cecelia used a mix of truth and deception to coax her, "Actually, even if you hadn't told me, I would have figured it out. Whoever fears Esmee Nelson ending up in my hands, and sent you to deal with her, is even more afraid of you two falling into my hands. So, whenever she has a chance, she'll eliminate you all as quickly as possible.

"Your sisters also didn't anticipate that while helping her kill Esmee, you'd be risking your lives too. Is it really worth it? Think it over carefully. Do you want to tell me everything truthfully, or do you want to protect the murderer of your sister?"

All of this was based on Cecelia's suspicion that Maggie Taylor was the murderer. That's why she used this approach.

After saying this, Cecelia stood up, preparing to leave.

Just as she was about to step out, Jessica finally broke down.

"I'll tell you!"

Cecelia paused, took a deep breath, turned around slowly, and stared at Jessica with a cold expression, waiting for her to continue.

"It was Maggie Taylor who wanted to kill Esmee Nelson, and we became her knife. But she double-crossed us and killed my sister. I can't tolerate it! If she's the killer, please make her pay!"

This was Jessica's strongest desire at the moment!

"You mentioned the Young Master earlier. Does this have anything to do with him?" Cecelia double-checked.

"No! It has nothing to do with the Young Master!"

Jessica continued to protect Jersey Bowman, as he was the person she and her sister, Kara, were determined to defend.

Since it had nothing to do with Jersey Bowman, there was no need to worry about repercussions.

Cecelia needed to employ the most powerful means to force Maggie Taylor to reveal her true self.

"I will investigate thoroughly and ensure that the murderer doesn't escape justice. However, this killer is more cunning than you can imagine. If she doesn't confess, what can I do to make her willingly face the consequences?"

Cecelia squatted down and asked, "Do you know her well? Does she have any dark secrets?"

Jessica fell silent again, torn between revealing the truth and protecting the Young Master.

However, keeping silent would mean her sister had died in vain.

For her sister's sake and that of her reason, she finally decided to speak up, "She does!"

"What is it?"

"She has a close relationship with the Young Master..."

Hearing this, Cecelia 's beautiful features froze for a moment, and she asked in surprise, "Are you saying they're romantically involved?"

Jessica shook her head, "No, Maggie Taylor is the Young Master's birth mother. She signed the contract with a death clause to protect him."

"!!!"

Cecelia couldn't help but gasp in shock after she learned this crucial information.

She had never expected that Maggie Taylor and Jersey Bowman were actually mother and son.

When Maggie Taylor left Dark Moon, she agreed to a death clause in exchange for protecting her son, which explained why she had been willing to bide her time for so many years to help Tobiani Bowman obtain the secret collection.

Jessica, revealing a secret she had kept hidden for years, added, "Please, don't tell the Young Master. He has never known the truth, and the Sect Master even issued an order. Those plans were all orchestrated by the Sect Master, and the Young Master had no knowledge of them. He's actually... a very pitiable person..."

Precisely because the sisters had been raised by the Dark Moon since childhood, essentially growing up alongside Jersey Bowman, they deeply understood him.

They knew about his unfortunate childhood, how the darkness had twisted his psyche, and they understood the pain and shadows within him. This was why they were willing to risk everything to protect him.

Jersey Bowman's character was indeed different from Tobiani's, and Cecelia could discern this. Otherwise, he wouldn't have fought against his mentor in the arena to save her.

He would rather become an enemy of the Dark Moon for her sake, protecting her at all costs and preventing others from harming her.
