Married by Accident, Taming the Billionaire

Chapter 408 A Critical Strike in the Decisive Battle

However, with Remington here, there was no chance for others to harm Cecelia.

Noticing the bowl of hot oil Dana threw, Remington quickly kicked it aside, causing the hot oil to splash onto Mariah’s face instead.

“Ah…”

Mariah’s face was splashed with hot oil, driving her to jump up in pain. “Ah… Mom… it’s so hot… my face hurts…”

Mariah continuously touched her face with her hand, but the scalding sensation from the hot oil penetrated her skin, generating excruciating pain.

“Mariah… Oh, my dear Mariah…”

Dana looked at her daughter-in-law who was now injured by the hot oil, feeling a mix of worry and sorrow.

Mariah’s face was still in pain. “Mom… what should I do… my face hurts so much…”

Seeing Mariah in pain, Dana remembered that Mariah had already contemplated divorcing her son. Determined, she grabbed a handful of incense ash and applied it to Mariah’s face. “The incense ash will make it better!”

Cecelia watched the scene coldly, refraining from commenting. She wasn’t sure if Dana had done it on purpose, but applying incense ash to the scalded face was a strange choice.

Mariah might find it challenging to remarry with her face in this condition.

After taking care of Mariah’s face, Dana looked at Remington and Cecelia again, pointing at them. “You… look at what you’ve done!”

Remington snorted. “Mrs. Songo, if you hadn’t tried to harm Cecelia just now, I wouldn’t have kicked that bowl. The consequences are your fault.

“Listen up! As long as I’m here, no one dares to bully my woman, or they’ll regret it!”

After his stern words, Remington took Cecelia and left the East Garden.

As they all exited the residence’s main gate, an ambush of a pistol was set up from the bamboo grove outside the entrance, aiming at Remington.

A muffled gunshot, accompanied by a suppressed sound due to the silencer, echoed.

Adam, sensitive to the sound, predicted the bullet’s trajectory and promptly pushed Remington aside.

Remington and Cecelia heard the gunshot, and everyone became alert. Adam, Fredric, and the other bodyguards rushed forward to protect them.

Adam dashed towards the bamboo grove, but the assailant had already retreated.
