Married by Accident Taming the Billionaire (Cecilia) 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.
As for Jersey's actions and choices, Cecelia didn't know what to say anymore. She only knew that she owed him a great deal.
She sighed and said, "I understand that you've been defending him because you've had feelings for him all along, haven't you?"
"..." Jessica was initially shocked, but in the end, she lowered her head in melancholy.
Cecelia had already grasped everything she needed to know, so she didn't say anything more. Her figure vanished at the doorway.
Back in the car, Remington asked her, "How did it go? Did you find out anything?"
Cecelia took a deep breath and replied softly, "I never knew that Maggie Taylor is actually Jersey's birth mother."
Remington was also taken aback by this revelation. "No wonder that old woman was willing to be manipulated by Tobiani Bowman! The biggest leverage was in her oppenent's hands! But Tobiani Bowman is despicable for using even his own son for his purposes!"
"Perhaps, in his eyes, there's no such thing as family ties," Cecelia mused.
Sympathy was all Cecelia felt for Jersey at this moment.
Knowing he had a mother but never experiencing her love from childhood, he had been twisted him into a monster by his evil father, living in darkness. Cecelia couldn't fathom the loneliness and pain he must have endured.
As for Maggie Taylor, although her own flesh and blood was right in front of her, she couldn't acknowledge him, which must have been a great torment for her.
Perhaps, this was the soft spot that could defeat her!
However, Cecelia still needed to uncover the truth about reasons behind her departure from Dark Moon after giving birth to Jersey with Jersey Bowman. What had happened back then? What is the true identity of her daughter, Petunia Taylor?
Based on her age, Petunia was younger than Jersey, but it remained to be seen whether they shared the same mother or not.
After discussing her plans with Remington, Cecelia said, "Let's go, we need to pick up Kevin from the hospital now."
The day was the day that Adam was discharged from the hospital. Remington accompanied Cecelia to the hospital.
Adam had already prepared himself and changed into the new clothes his sister had provided. He looked sunny and handsome again.
"Cece!"
Seeing his sister enter the ward, Adam got up from the bed.
"Kevin!"
The siblings embraced warmly. After letting go, Cecelia smiled as she examined her brother. "You look really handsome today, Kevin!"
She helped adjust his collar and smoothed his hair, saying, "Let's go, Kevin, we're going home!"
"Okay."
Adam's heart was filled with excitement. It didn't matter where he would stay after leaving the hospital, as long as he had family with him, it would be home.
Cecelia linked arms with her brother and left the ward. She left their things to be packed by her subordinates. As they exited the ward, they encountered Remington, who had just finished a phone call.
"Brother-in-law, congratulations on successfully proposing to my sister!"
Adam had already heard the news and wanted to wish his sister a happy and fulfilling future.
Addressing Remington as "brother-in-law" made him beam with pride. He patted Adam's shoulder and said, "That's right, Kevin, congratulations on your discharge!"
"Thanks!"
Adam added, "But let me be clear, if you ever make my sister suffer even the slightest injustice, I won't hesitate to use my fists!"
He raised his fist and made a threatening gesture.
"Every time it's me who suffers!" Remington sighed, half in amusement and half helplessly. "Your brother-in-law is one of a kind. You need to learn to protect him, care for him, and look out for him!"
Cecelia pulled down Adam's raised fist and said, "Alright, let's go!"
The three of them left the hospital together, and on the way back, Adam couldn't help but inquire, "Remi, has Louis already revealed the secret communication channels of the Revenant Sect? How's the investigation going?"
