Married by Accident Taming the Billionaire (Cecilia) novel Chapter 398

Chapter 398 Something More Fierce

Queenie found out that Cecelia was attending a perfume tasting event in Porema.

Upon arriving at the event, she saw Cecelia, dressed in an elegant light blue gown, engaging in conversation with a group of noble and rich ladies.

Cecelia, who had been recognized by the citizens of Porema as the heir to the Songo family's Fragrant dyeing technique and also the famous perfumer Olivia herself, quickly gained recognition among the upper-class ladies.

Many of those women wanted to ask Cecelia to design designated perfumes for them, and even perfume companies wanted to have cooperation with her in developing new products.

The main reason for Cecelia's success and connections was the support of Benson Quinsey and Edwin Songo. Benson was her uncle, and Edwin was her cousin. With their connections, they were able to introduce Cecelia to the entire high society of Porema, as well as the perfume and fashion industry in the city.

While Cecelia was being surrounded by people, a sharp, discordant female voice came to them. "Cecelia!"

Everyone turned to look at the woman who had just entered the hall and looked so aggressive.

Cecelia recognized that it was Queenie who had come to find her, and she wasn't surprised at all. She already had a hunch about the reason behind Queenie's visit.

Seeing her approach, Edwin took the initiative to greet her, "Sis!"

"Don't call me 'Sis'! Have we met?! You don't know me at all!" Queenie retorted angrily.

Queenie was very angry and confrontational, not even giving Edwin a chance to speak.

"What's wrong, Queenie? What happened? Why are you acting so aggressive!"

Edwin was confused, as he had no idea about Warda's situation. He had spent last night working on a project and had been too busy to check the news on his phone in the morning.

When he arrived at the event, he didn't hear anyone talking about the Songo family, so he genuinely had no idea of what had happened.

"It seems like you don't care about what's happening at home at all!"

Queenie didn't want to argue with him, so she went straight to Cecelia and asked, "Did you have something to do with my brother getting arrested?"

Cecelia asked with indifference, "Queenie, what do you mean by that? How would I be involved in Cousin Warda's arrest?"

In fact, most people at the event knew about what had happened with the Songo family, but they didn't openly talk about the topic out of respect.

Now that Queenie had brought it up, the murmurs around them grew louder.

"They're talking about Warda being arrested for rape, right?"

"I'm shocked to hear that Mr. Songo was the rapist! Wasn't his public image always a perfect husband?"

"The news says it's not the first time he has committed rape. Oh my God, who would have thought he was that kind of man!"

"The discussions intensified, and Queenie's expression became even more grim.

"You're still pretending! It was you who invited my brother to the hotel for a meeting, only to set him up and have him arrested. I warn you! Go to the police right now and explain what happened! Make them release my brother!"

The more desperate Queenie became, the more indifferent Cecelia seemed.

"Queenie, you should know that you are responsible for what you are saying. I went to the police in the morning to assist with the investigation. It was your brother who invited me to a meeting. But who knew he had ulterior motives and did such a thing!

"The victim reported it to the police, and they found evidence on the spot. The evidence is undeniable. Even if you come to me, I can't do anything about it! The police are not under my control. They can't just release a suspect without following legal procedures, right?"

Cecelia asked the people around and all those ladies nodded.

Queenie looked at the people present, many of whom were her familiar friends, and anxiously said, "Don't let this woman deceive you! She is an extremely cunning scammer!"

"Queenie! Why are you desperately trying to ruin my reputation? You have to slander me like this just because I exposed your fake fragrance dyeing launch?" Cecelia coldly retorted.

"Cecelia Linsey, you're still pretending to be innocent!"
