Married by Accident Taming the Billionaire (Cecilia) novel Chapter 414

Chapter 414 He Swears a Solemn Oath

"Give me the second half of The Collection of Fragrant Clothes."

Cecelia needed to retrieve what belonged to the Songo Group, and she firmly believed that the original manuscript must be in Alfred's possession.

He had admitted it before, though he had used a replica to deceive her.

Alfred had already expected Cecelia's condition. At that moment, he sighed deeply.

"Cecelia, I must tell you the truth. The original edition of The Collection of Fragrant Clothes is not in my possession. What you saw was just a replica and I only have a replica."

"Do you think I'll believe you?" Cecelia scoffed.

How cunning this old man was, didn't she know?

"Believe it or not, I truly don't have it. When you asked me last time, I deceived you."

Alfred explained with great weight and depth.

Cecelia stared at him for a long while before speaking coldly, "Uncle Grandpa, I hope you'll answer me carefully. Otherwise, considering your age, what can you do even if you had half of the secret manual? Do you want to take the secret manual with you into the coffin?"

"Sigh... I truly don't have it, Cecelia! You've seen it yourself; I only have a replica. It was made by your great-grandmother while she was still alive. She created many replicas back then to confuse outsiders.

Over the decades, the Songo family has had many thieves, but what they managed to steal was all fake.

The real one was taken away by your great-grandmother. You should ask her!"

Cecelia kept her gaze firmly on the old man, who was sweating under her scrutiny. In order to prove the truth of his words, he didn't hesitate to swear a solemn oath.

"Cecelia, if you don't believe me, I can swear to the heavens. If what I said contains a single false word, let me be struck down by heaven and never find peace!"

For a person to swear such a solemn oath indicated that what he said might actually be true.

Could it be that the second half of The Collection of Fragrant Clothes wasn't really in the Songo family?

Where could it have ended up?

For the time being, Cecelia couldn't figure it out and she couldn't completely trust Alfred. She decided to put this matter aside.

"All right! Since you've sworn, I'll believe you this time. As for the secret manual, if you can't produce it, I won't bring it up anymore. However, you have to agree to one more condition."

"What is it?"

Alfred raised his head and looked at Cecelia.

As Cecelia was leaving the room, she stopped and said. "Tomorrow, you will come to the grave of my great-grandmother, Jessie, and kneel down to apologize!"

Alfred was deeply shaken, opening his mouth but unable to say anything. Eventually, he dropped his arm in defeat.

Cecelia left these words and directly left the study room.

Adam was waiting outside and asked, "Sister, how did the conversation go? Did he agree?"

"He had no choice! Let's go visit Jesper."

Cecelia and Adam went to the West Garden, unlocked the door, and entered.

Their loyal wolfhound, Puppy, was also very responsive. When it saw Cecelia, it ran over to greet her, wagging its tail non-stop.

"Puppy!"

Cecelia patted the wolfhound's head and entered the house. "Jesper!"

Hearing her call, Jesper walked out of the room. "It's you, Cecelia!"

"Jesper, I've come to take you out."

Cecelia took the old man's hand, and Jesper looked a bit surprised. "Where are we going?"

"First, we'll take you to the barber to get a haircut, then you can take a nice bath, and after that, we'll go to the hospital for a health check."
