Abandoned Luna Now Untouchable (Cecilia) novel Chapter 370

Chapter 370: Chapter 370 The Fall Guy

Cecilia ’s pov

I raised an eyebrow slightly.

She got the full story fast. Too fast.

"I heard everything," Daisy said as she stepped closer, looking guilty. "I don’t understand why the butler would do something like that. He’s worked for us for decades and never caused any trouble.

I don’t know why he pretended to be Sebastian. I’ve already sent people to look for him. Since it happened in our house, I’ll make sure you get an explanation."

Answers ?

It sounded fake. Like something she memorized in front of a mirror.

An old butler would take the fall while the rest of them stayed clean.

I didn’t challenge her. I kept my professional, polite smile in place. "Thank you, Daisy."

"I’m the one who should be apologizing," she went on, pressing her fingers to her temple like she was about to faint.

But something felt off. She wasn’t just losing balance.

She was falling straight toward Sebastian.If she leaned a little more, she would’ve landed right in his arms.

"Careful," Sebastian said and reached out automatically.

I moved faster. I stepped in, grabbed her shoulders, and kept her upright.

I didn’t do it gently.

"You look exhausted, Daisy . Maybe you should lie down."

Daisy blinked, clearly thrown off by my interference.

It took her a moment too long to recover.

"With Riley burning up with fever last night and this mess with Cecilia ... I’m the only one holding this house together. How can I rest ?"

I kept my voice even, with just enough warmth to sound concerned.

"A sick child needs her mother most. Since you’ve already sent people to investigate, I’m sure we’ll hear something soon."

On the outside, I sounded concerned.But in my head, I was already laughing.

The butler was probably long gone.People who knew too much and screwed up usually didn’t live to talk about it.

Daisy gave me a soft smile. "Cecilia , you’re so understanding."

She asked a few more questions about last night, her face a flawless mask of concern and disbelief.

Sebastian eventually called for a staff member to escort her back to her room.

Once Daisy was gone, he grabbed my arm and pulled me into the guest room, slamming the door behind us. Harper and the others were left standing in the hallway.

As soon as the door clicked shut, my smile vanished like a dropped curtain.

I yanked my arm free and walked silently to my suitcase, starting to pack.

Sebastian followed, taking my clothes from my hands. "You’re too clever for your own good."

I didn’t react to the compliment. "If I weren’t, you’d be identifying my corpse right now."

His throat moved as he swallowed.He stepped forward and pulled me into his arms, murmuring something low against my ear.

I froze for a second. Then I snapped back and glared at him.

"You knew ? You were part of this the whole time ?!"

"If I’d told you, your reaction wouldn’t have been believable," he said casually.

His gaze dropped to the dark circles under my eyes. His voice softened. "You didn’t sleep at all ?"

"Would you have, in my place ? What if they’d decided to break down the door when I didn’t come out ?"

"You’re cautious to the point of paranoia.

Very on-brand for you."

"That’s not a compliment."

Sebastian narrowed his eyes. "Back in the hallway... was that jealousy I saw ?"

I knew exactly what he meant.
