Married by Accident, Taming the Billionaire novel Chapter 366

Chapter 366 He Concealed the Truth

"Your grandmother's second uncle." Howard looked around and, seeing nobody else around, he continued, "Because she disappeared with her second uncle, there have been many unpleasant rumors circulating about them, like elopement and incest. The Songos even issued a warning that they would hold those who gossiped about it responsible. But I've always believed that your grandmother isn't that kind of person."

Cecelia was shocked by the news and nodded. "Okay, Howard. Thank you for telling me!"

As those several people left the archive and got into the car, Cecelia contemplated what she had just learned about.

She asked, "My grandmother's second uncle is Alfred's father, right?"

"Yes," someone responded.

"Did he actually disappear with my grandmother? I've never heard of this before, and Alfred never told me about it. Instead, he said that my mother eloped with someone else."

Cecelia analyzed the situation and became even more certain that Alfred had concealed all the truths.

Remington chimed in, "I can understand. He wouldn't spread rumors about his own father. The Songos value their reputation a lot. They would never let such rumors spread."

Cecelia nodded. "But I'm sure there was nothing going on between my grandmother and her second uncle. She loved my grandfather, Allen."

"Yeah. There must be another hidden story. We need to continue investigating. Perhaps only by uncovering everything can we find clues about your mother's whereabouts," said Remington.

Cecelia responded, "You're right. My mother's disappearance is definitely part of the conspiracy. When you and Kevin have the chance, please check out the Songo family's buildings in secret and see if there are any hidden secret rooms or the like."

"Okay," Remington replied.

The next stop for them was the home of Spencer, the former private lawyer for the Songo family.

Cecelia had already found out Spencer's residence with a private detective's help. It was located in a quaint town called Marinatown on the outskirts of Porema.

They arrived at the quaint town according to the address.

"It's just on the road ahead," Cecelia instructed, according to the address, and Adam made the turn.

A tranquil lake came into view, and by the lake stood a small building with white walls and red tiles. It was reflected in the water, which created an exceptionally beautiful scene.

Spencer chose this place to enjoy his old age after retiring, which was indeed a good decision.

However, as the three people approached the building, they saw an ambulance parked downstairs. They got out of the car and saw medical personnel carrying a stretcher out.

On the stretcher lay an old man. It should be the lawyer, Spencer, if they were not mistaken.

The medical staff got the old man into the ambulance, and two younger family members of the old man got into it, too. The ambulance quickly drove away.

Cecelia, Remington, and Adam looked at one another in surprise and wondered, "What a weird coincidence! Spencer was actually rushed to the hospital as soon as we arrived."

An old woman was standing at the entrance, holding a cane, watching the ambulance driving away.

Cecelia approached the gate and greeted her, "Hello, ma'am!"

"Who are you?" The old woman looked at Cecelia and her friends, feeling a sense of unfamiliarity.

Cecelia responded, "We are from the Songo family. Is Mr. Lowell your husband?"

The old woman said, "Ah, so, you're Songos. Yes, I'm Spencer's wife. What can I do for you?"

"Mrs. Lowell, can we meet Mr. Lowell?" Cecelia asked.

The old woman sighed, "Unfortunately, my husband had a sudden heart attack today. As you saw earlier, he was taken away in an ambulance."
