Married by Accident Taming the Billionaire (Cecilia) novel Chapter 415

Chapter 415 Give Her the Final Advice

They split up and sneaked into the study of the old mansion as well as Alfred's sleeping quarters, privately searching for the secret manual. After several hours, the siblings met in the room.

"Sis, how did your search go?"

"I found two."

"I found three."

Both of them took out the second half of the secret manual from their pockets. Cecelia looked at the five manuals in front of her and furrowed her brow.

"Which of these is the real one?" Adam asked while looking at the identical covers of the manuals.

Cecelia inspected them one by one and, after reviewing their contents, concluded, "None of these are real! They are all imitation manuals created to deceive thieves."

"So, where could the genuine one be?"

Cecelia shook her head. "Perhaps the old man was telling the truth. It's possible that the genuine manual is not in the Songo family, and it might have been taken away by our grandmother. As for why only the upper half remains, there must be a reason for that."

The siblings couldn't figure out what had happened in the past. The situation required further investigation. For now, the search for the manual in the Songo family was abandoned.

The next morning, Mariah returned from the hospital and went directly to Alfred to report, "Grandpa, I just came back from the hospital. My mother-in-law underwent emergency surgery and was saved, but the doctors say her brain is damaged, and she might become a vegetable. What should we do now?"

Alfred sighed, "For now, just arrange for someone to take care of her."

"Okay, I understand, Grandpa."

Mariah then made another request. "Grandpa, with all the recent events in the family, I want to go back to my parents' home for a while."

"Alright, go ahead."

Without trying to persuade her to stay, the old man already sensed that the Songo family couldn't retain anyone. With his grandson in jail, there was no hope of keeping his daughter-in-law as a widow at the Songo family estate.

Mariah packed her belongings and left the Songo family, dragging her suitcase. She ran into Cecelia on her way.

Seeing Cecelia, her eyes still carried a lot of hostility. She said, "Cecelia, you've successfully harmed us, causing the Songo family to become what it is now, just as you wished."

Cecelia didn't respond directly. Instead, she gazed at the ornate wooden beams above. "Big sister-in-law, do you think these wooden beams overhead look beautiful? But if you don't strip them open, you'll never know how many pests are inside.

The Songo family is the same way. It may appear to be a harmonious large family on the surface, but in reality, it's a place that harbors corruption and impurity. The Songo family has reached this point because the pests have eroded it too severely, causing the main beam to collapse."

"I don't understand your metaphor. I only know that you've caused me to lose my husband and my family."

Mariah held a grudge against her. If it weren't for Cecelia, she would still be the eldest granddaughter-in-law of the Songo family, enjoying the prestige and luxury as the heiress to a prominent family.

Now, she had nothing.

"Big sister-in-law, you should be thankful to me. By leaving Warda, you can enjoy a new life. However, following a dangerous criminal like him, you will never achieve true happiness.

"What kind of person is Warda? You know better than anyone else!"

Cecelia stared at her face, which was marked with scars. She continued, "Do you remember why your mother-in-law used incense ash to apply on your face after it was scalded with hot oil?

Anyone with some common sense wouldn't do that, but she did. What did your face end up looking like? Did it leave behind an indelible scar?"

Upon hearing this, Mariah instinctively covered her cheeks. There were indeed many black scars on her face, which greatly affected her appearance.

"Hmph, do you really think your mother-in-law is looking out for your best interests? Let me tell you the truth, she's only thinking about her son.

Her son was in jail, and she was afraid you wouldn't remain a widow. That's why she used this method to ruin your face.

With your face scarred, it's challenging to remarry, which is most beneficial for her and her son. Do you understand now?"

Mariah was shocked because Cecelia's words, when carefully considered, were indeed accurate.

Her mother-in-law didn't do it for her sake!

Afterward, she had talked to her mother-in-law about the scar on her face, and her mother-in-law claimed her son wouldn't mind, and so on. Now, thinking back, her mother-in-law's actions were indeed despicable.

"Whether you believe what I've said or not, just heed my advice. Leave quickly, get out of this quagmire!"
