Chapter 78 Mr. Nelson has some human feelings, knowing to protect his wife
When Remington and Cecelia were both pondering the reasons, Esmee returned.
"Oh, you're all here?"
Esmee entered and glanced at everyone.
"What's wrong? You all look off-color. Didn't you sleep last night? I've watched the news. I heard there was a fire at the Nelsons' house last night. Is that true?"
"Of course, it's true!" Renee said.
"I heard from the servants that it was the old lady's room that caught fire. Did anyone die?" Esmee asked.
Hearing her question, Remington said coldly, "It looks like you're just itching for someone to die, aren't you?"
"Ah, nephew, your words are deeply pleasing to me! I just came to see if the old lady is still alive. If she's dead, I can inherit a share of her legacy, right?"
Esmee didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said, but it infuriated Remington.
"Guards! Throw this madwoman out!"
Hearing Remington trying to throw her out, Esmee shouted, "Hey, nephew, I'm your aunt, but you're trying to drive me away! I haven't gotten my share yet, so why should I leave?"
Remington didn't want to waste his breath with her. Whitegon and Winger had stepped forward, taking Esmee out of the living room.
"Hey, let go! Let me go! You idiots! Do you know how expensive my clothes are? Can you afford to pay for them if you rip them apart, eh?"
Esmee was dragged away, her shouting the only thing left behind.
Cecelia let out a deep breath. She was wondering why there was a freak like Esmee in the Nelson family.
Now, nothing could be found on the surface, so they could only ask Whitegon and his lot to investigate it secretly.
She believed that it wouldn't be long before everything became clear!
All those "demons and monsters" would reveal their true forms!
After the servants dispersed, Renee waved to Maximus, "Andres, come here. Let Grandma take a look at you. You weren't too scared last night, were you?"
Maximus didn't move, still nestled in his mother's arms.
He had been asleep last night, so he didn't even know about the fire.
"Andres was frightened. I'll take him to rest now."
Cecelia made an excuse and left the room with her child in her arms.
Remington followed them out. Back at the Aroma Villa, Cecelia went to cook lunch herself.
After lunch, Cecelia received a call from Verda, saying that she had found the whereabouts of the undertaker, Paul Galler.
"I need to go out. Do you want Andres to stay with you? Or should I take him with me?" Cecelia asked as she went out.
"Of course, he'll stay with me. Where are you going?"
"To do something."
Cecelia didn't tell him the details. After instructing her son, she left.
Remington summoned Fredric soon. The latter asked, "Sir, do you want me to continue to follow Miss Linsey today?"
Upon hearing this, Maximus frowned. His bad dad even sent someone to follow his mom?
But what Remington said next dispelled much of Maximus's disdain for him.
He said, "You follow her secretly. If she runs into any trouble, find a way to help her! Just don't let her find out that I sent you!"
"Yes, sir."
Fredric felt that their master seemed to have some human feelings. He knew to care about Miss Linsey's safety.
Maximus also thought that his scumbag father seemed a bit more like a real man. He would observe and see if he could reconcile with his father.
