Married by Accident Taming the Billionaire (Cecilia) novel Chapter 367

Chapter 367 Her Deliberate Probe

Cecelia shook her arm to get rid of the water and glanced down at her wet clothes, quickly unbuttoning her collar to cool her skin.

The tea was hot, and she felt much pain even though she had been scalded through the clothes.

Her skin was fair, and her arms quickly turned red because of the burn.

"I'm fine, but Mariah, I really don't understand why you would do this?" Cecelia looked up at the woman in front of her with cold eyes.

She had seen through Mariah's trick, and she wanted to question Mariah why Mariah was targeting her.

"Is Mariah helping Mizey deal with me?" Cecelia wondered

Warda realized the trouble caused by his wife and looked at Cecelia's scalded arm. With blame in his eyes, he scolded, "Mariah, how could you be so careless? Look! You scalded Cecelia."

"I'm really sorry. I just wanted to get a new cup of tea. I didn't notice Cecelia when she happened to come in. Oh no, Cecelia! Your clothes are wet, and your skin is red. It's all my fault. Shall I take you to get changed and apply some ointment on you?"

"No, thanks!" Cecelia rejected it.

Through this incident, she realized that Mariah was a real angelic bitch.

Since she dared to mess with Cecelia, Cecelia would get back at her sooner or later.

When Alfred heard the news of Cecelia's return, he ordered, "Cecelia is back. Get ready to serve dinner!"

"Yes!"

A sumptuous dinner was served, and everyone took their seats and began eating.

Cecelia didn't see Mizey. Probably, Mizey didn't come because of her wounds.

The crowd chatted during the meal, and Alfred no longer berated them due to Cecelia's previous rule-breaking.

Mariah succeeded in her conspiracy and was in a good mood. During the meal, she smugly raised her eyebrows.

She only slightly restrained herself when she met Cecelia's eyes. Then she pretended to be nice and served Cecelia some food.

"Cecelia, have a taste of this! It's an authentic local dish from Porema. You can't have it anywhere else."

Cecelia took a bite. "Yeah, it tastes good. Thank you, Mariah! It's so nice of you. Courtesy demands reciprocity. Please have a taste, too!"

Cecelia also stood up and served some dishes to Mariah.

"Thank you, Cecelia. It's really nice of you," Mariah praised, happily eating the food that Cecelia had given her.

When Cecelia served Mariah food back, Mariah just believed it to be a sign of fear, awe, and flattery from Cecelia. But in fact, Cecelia had discreetly drugged the food.

After dinner, the crowd left one by one. Cecelia offered her arms to Alfred and walked him to the door.

"You don't have to walk me back to the room, Cecelia. Just go back and have a rest," whispered Alfred.

"It's okay, Granduncle! I'll accompany you to your residence. There's something I want to talk to you about." Cecelia insisted.

Alfred no longer refused and went back to his room with her. Once there, he asked, "What would you like to talk with me about?"

"I want to ask you about my mother." Cecelia sat down in a chair next to Alfred.

Alfred looked at her and calmly said, "Yeah, you never mentioned your mother before. How is she doing?"
