Chapter 369 Misery

“Oh? Isn’t that Cecelia? She’s over there.”

Fiona was the first one to spot Cecelia and walked over with Mariah.

“Cecelia, so you’re here.”

Mariah noticed Edwin standing beside Cecelia and exclaimed, “Edwin, when did you come back?”

“Good evening, Mariah, Aunt Fiona! I just arrived home.”

Edwin politely greeted them. When he heard Cecelia’s name in their conversation, he was a bit shocked. “Is she Cecelia, the granddaughter of Grandaunt Cassie?”

He had heard about the disruption of the Songo family’s new product launch, and Mizey had complained to him, asking him to contact Olivia to handle the matter. That was why he had flown back from France.

“Yes!” Mariah responded and looked at Cecelia, pretending to be concerned. “Cecelia, sorry for accidentally burning you earlier. I specifically got some ointment for you. You should apply it quickly to avoid scarring.”

Mariah handed the ointment to Cecelia, who glanced at it and calmly accepted it. “Thank you, Mariah.”

“Don’t mention it! Remember to apply it three times a day!”

Mariah’s eyes flickered with excitement as Cecelia took the ointment.

Cecelia could see through this little trick of Mariah’s. Mariah showed concern by bringing the ointment and dragging Fiona along, all in an attempt to find a witness to prove Mariah’s care for Cecelia.

Cecelia didn’t buy into Mariah’s seemingly kind-hearted gesture. Who knows what damaging ingredients could be mixed into the ointment Mariah brought? Trusting Mariah would be dangerous.

However, Cecelia was quite curious and wondered, “Why hasn’t Mariah shown any reaction after eating the food I served?”

“Edwin, you and Cecelia haven’t met yet. Let me introduce you to each other.” Mariah pretended to help with the introduction, but before she could finish her words, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. The pain spread rapidly, making it impossible for her to speak.

“What’s wrong, Mariah? Are you okay?” Edwin noticed her pained expression.

Mariah waved him off, trying to endure the discomfort. “I’m fine. Da*n!”

Although she said she was fine, the pain grew more intense and uncontrollable. She felt the urge to fart, and she couldn’t even hold it in.

To make matters worse, Chris and Dana, as well as Bowin and the head of the third branch, along with Mariah’s husband Warda, happened to pass by at that moment.
