Married by Accident Taming the Billionaire (Cecilia) novel Chapter 329

Chapter 329 Cut Ties Forever
"This is the rule in our gang. Ask Cecelia if you don't believe me!"
Jersey would not allow outsiders to go to the headquarters of Dark Moon, especially someone like Remington.
Remington looked at Cecelia, and Cecelia couldn't let Remington go to Dark Moon either. If outsiders intruded into Dark Moon, they would be treated as enemies and killed instantly.
She didn't want him to get into trouble!
"Remington, you go find a hotel to stay in first. Once I handle things here, I will go find you."
"But what if..."
Remington was worried that the people from Dark Moon would hurt Cecelia after she confronted her master.
How could he let her go to such a dangerous place alone?
"Don't worry. I will be fine!"
Cecelia nodded at him, indicating for him to relax. Remington didn't say anything else, and Jersey instructed the driver to start the car.
Watching the private car leave, Remington felt a little anxious. He didn't follow Cecelia's words and hailed a taxi, telling the driver to follow the car in front.
After driving about 30 kilometers, they left the capital of the Swaxon Kingdom and entered the border of Field City.
The car in front passed smoothly, but the taxi Remington was in was stopped at a road checkpoint and not allowed to continue.
They had already entered the territory where Field City Castle was located, and no unrelated vehicles were allowed in.
Remington got out of the car, and the taxi drove away. He could only wait here and contact his friends in the Swaxon Kingdom to come over first.
The vehicles continued for another ten kilometers and finally entered a castle. There was a moat surrounding the castle, and guards were stationed outside the moat.
This was the stronghold of Dark Moon, where Cecelia's master, Tobiani, usually resided.
Cecelia followed Jersey into the castle, and the guards inside the castle saluted them respectfully.
When they met the steward of the castle, Jersey asked him to lead them to his father.
They were brought to a grand study. Cecelia saw Tobiani playing with the golden eagle on his iron stand.
"Father!"
Jersey spoke first.
"You're back?"
Tobiani asked without turning his head.
"Father, I came back with Leah."
In Dark Moon, they called Cecelia by her code name, Leah.
Upon hearing this, Tobiani stopped what he was doing and turned around slowly.
The father and son had very similar appearances, but Tobiani appeared maturer and gloomier, and his voice was deeper.
"Oh, Leah is here too. I was just talking about you yesterday."
Tobiani walked over with his hands behind his back, smiling gently. "I'll have someone prepare a welcome feast for you!"
"No need, I'm not here to eat."
Cecelia stared at Tobiani, her eyes becoming particularly cold. Tobiani furrowed his brows slightly. He sensed something and then looked at his son.
Jersey took a deep breath and said, "Father, Leah has known about your plan."
Tobiani looked at Cecelia again but remained silent.
Cecelia gloomily said, "I want to talk to Master alone. Please leave for a moment."
Jersey nodded and turned to leave the study.
In the study, only she and Tobiani were left. Tobiani's plan was exposed by her, but it seemed to have no effect on him.
"Leah, since you've known about it, it's good. You should understand what I want to do, right?"
Tobiani no longer concealed his ambition.
"I understand it very well now! From five years ago to now, I have been living in your lies and plans! You have been using me, while I have been kept in the dark by you."
Cecelia said angrily.
"You can't say it's using, Leah. In these five years, have you not received the favors of Dark Moon? How did you become powerful step by step? Wasn't it all given to you by Dark Moon?"
Tobiani said in a superior manner.
"Dark Moon nurtured me indeed, but the purpose of making me stronger was just to help you obtain The Collection of Fragrant Clothes. To get silk, you must first pay with mulberry leaves. That's your plan!"
Cecelia stared at the old man in front of her. "Why? You have been scheming for five years just for the rumored The Collection of Fragrant Clothes. What exactly do you want to obtain?"
"You don't need to ask. As long as you are willing to give me the secret book you have, I won't treat you unfairly."
Tobiani wouldn't tell her the true purpose. He had been planning for more than five years, even longer, to obtain The Collection of Fragrant Clothes.
"Impossible!"
Cecelia shook her head coldly. She thought of something and asked, "For a secret book, you have been planning for so long. So, do you have some shady dealings with the Songo family in Bemanko?"
She wanted to know how big of a game Tobiani had planned and what he wanted to do with The Collection of Fragrant Clothes.
What was his true goal?
A mere imperial tomb treasure was nothing.
Tobiani was already an Earl appointed by the royal family in the Swaxon Kingdom. He had status, power, and hidden forces. Wasn't he wealthier than ten or eight imperial tomb treasures combined?
Cecelia had some understanding of Tobiani's background, so she was even more curious about his goals.
Just for a few antiques from an ancient tomb, why would he plan for so many years?
"I have no relationship with the Songo family. I don't get involved in their affairs. I only care about the secret book. Give me the secret book..."
"Don't even think about it!"
Before he could speak, Cecelia sternly rebuked, "Let me tell you the truth. I came to see you today to completely sever ties with Dark Moon! I want to completely cut off from Dark Moon!"
Tobiani had long expected this day to come, so he didn't care. "Are you sure you want to quit? Don't you know the rules of Dark Moon?"
"I know, but I won't accept it!"
It was said that anyone who quit Dark Moon had to accept a death contract. Signing it meant that their lives were in the hands of Dark Moon and they had to unconditionally agree to any conditions.
Anyone who violated the death contract of Dark Moon would die!
Cecelia wasn't that foolish!
"It was originally a conspiracy, a trap you set in advance to lure me in.
"You were prepared long ago. Once I saw through the deception, I would quit, so you would wait for me to sign the death contract, and the condition is The Collection of Fragrant Clothes. Am I right?
"You want to get The Collection of Fragrant Clothes from me, but it's impossible! I won't sign the death contract, either!
"From today onwards, I am completely severed from Dark Moon!"
Cecelia came to sever ties, completely cutting off all the so-called favors and obligations. From now on, she was no longer a member of Dark Moon.
In the past, she had been grateful for the favors and had never thought of leaving Dark Moon. She even thought of defending the honor of Dark Moon with her life.
But when her faith collapsed, and her beliefs were no longer there, even if it meant death, she didn't want to be a member of Dark Moon anymore!
Cecelia turned around and walked out decisively. However, when she reached the door, it slammed shut.
From behind, Tobiani's voice sounded cold and deep, "By breaking the rules of Dark Moon, do you know what awaits you?"
Cecelia turned around and looked at Tobiani, her eyes showing no fear.
"Since I dared to come back, why would I be afraid of your so-called consequences? Since I want to leave, no one can stop me!"
Cecelia's eyes became even more fierce, and a strong cold killing intent surged.
Tobiani took a deep breath. "Alright, since you refuse to sign the death contract and insist on leaving Dark Moon, there is only one option! If you can pass through the Death God's Purgatory, I will allow you to leave!"
