Chapter 398 Something More Fierce

Queenie found out that Cecelia was attending a perfume tasting event in Porema. Upon arriving at the event, she saw Cecelia, dressed in an elegant light blue gown, engaging in conversation with a group of noble and rich ladies. Cecelia, who had been recognized by the citizens of Porema as the heir to the Songo family’s Fragrant dyeing technique and also the famous perfumer Olivia herself, quickly gained recognition among the upper-class ladies. Many of those women wanted to ask Cecelia to design designated perfumes for them, and even perfume companies wanted to have cooperation with her in developing new products. The main reason for Cecelia’s success and connections was the support of Benson Quinsey and Edwin Songo. Benson was her uncle, and Edwin was her cousin. With their connections, they were able to introduce Cecelia to the entire high society of Porema, as well as the perfume and fashion industry in the city. While Cecelia was being surrounded by people, a sharp, discordant female voice came to them. “Cecelia!” Everyone turned to look at the woman who had just entered the hall and looked so aggressive. Cecelia recognized that it was Queenie who had come to find her, and she wasn’t surprised at all. She already had a hunch about the reason behind Queenie’s visit. Seeing her approach, Edwin took the initiative to greet her, “Sis!” “Don’t call me ‘Sis’! Have we met?! You don’t know me at all!” Queenie retorted angrily. Queenie was very angry and confrontational, not even giving Edwin a chance to speak. “What’s wrong, Queenie? What happened? Why are you acting so aggressive!” Edwin was confused, as he had no idea about Warda’s situation. He had spent last night working on a project and had been too busy to check the news on his phone in the morning.

When he arrived at the event, he didn’t hear anyone talking about the Songo family, so he genuinely had no idea of what had happened. “It seems like you don’t care about what’s happening at home at all!” Queenie didn’t want to argue with him, so she went straight to Cecelia and asked, “Did you have something to do with my brother getting arrested?” Cecelia asked with indifference, “Queenie, what do you mean by that? How would I be involved in Cousin Warda’s arrest?” In fact, most people at the event knew about what had happened with the Songo family, but they didn’t openly talk about the topic out of respect. Now that Queenie had brought it up, the murmurs around them grew louder. “They’re talking about Warda being arrested for rape, right?” “I’m shocked to hear that Mr. Songo was the rapist! Wasn’t his public image always a perfect husband?” “The news says it’s not the first time he has committed rape. Oh my God, who would have thought he was that kind of man!” “The discussions intensified, and Queenie’s expression became even more grim. “You’re still pretending! It was you who invited my brother to the hotel for a meeting, only to set him up and have him arrested. I warn you! Go to the police right now and explain what happened! Make them release my brother!” The more desperate Queenie became, the more indifferent Cecelia seemed. “Queenie, you should know that you are responsible for what you are saying. I went to the police in the morning to assist with the investigation. It was your brother who invited me to a meeting. But who knew he had ulterior motives and did such a thing! “The victim reported it to the police, and they found evidence on the spot. The evidence is undeniable. Even if you come to me, I can’t do anything about it! The police are not under my control. They can’t just release a suspect without following legal procedures, right?” Cecelia asked the people around and all those ladies nodded.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Queenie looked at the people present, many of whom were her familiar friends, and anxiously said, “Don’t let this woman deceive you! She is an extremely cunning scammer!” “Queenie! Why are you desperately trying to ruin my reputation? You have to slander me like this just because I exposed your fake fragrance dyeing launch?” Cecelia coldly retorted. “Cecelia Linsey, you’re still pretending to be innocent!” Queenie had lost her composure and picked up a nearby glass, ready to throw it at Cecelia. Fortunately, Edwin intervened in time and blocked the splash of the drink. The drink spilled on Edwin’s face and clothes. He wiped off the drink and said angrily, “Queenie, let’s talk elsewhere. Today is a perfume tasting event. Don’t cause trouble here!” “He tried to lead Queenie away, but Queenie refused to leave. “I didn’t cause trouble! Cecelia Linsey, go to the police station right now to clear my brother’s name!” “We have law and law enforcement personnel to do justice. If Cousin Warda is innocent, the police will release him after a thorough investigation!” Cecelia calmly stated. “Get out of my way! Don’t block me! You b*tch! I have to teach you a lesson today!” Queenie pushed Edwin aside and charged towards Cecelia again. “Cecelia Linsey! Stop talking nonsense! You framed my brother! And yet you are still doing it now!” She grabbed a bottle of wine from the table and threw it at Cecelia without hesitation. Cecelia didn’t dodge, as even Benson couldn’t bear to watch anymore. He caught the bottle and firmly grabbed Queenie’s wrist, warning her, “I am the one hosting this perfume tasting event, so stop causing a scene here!” “Cecelia is my niece. Dare to lay a hand on her and see what happens!” Benson’s favoritism couldn’t have been more obvious! In terms of blood relations, he was paternal uncle to Queenie and maternal uncle to Cecelia. But he chose to protect his Cecelia. Well, how could Queenie not feel frustrated about this? Perhaps it was because Queenie had been slapped by Benson four times before, and he had a fierce look in his eyes. Anyway, in the end, she was scared into submission.

After things calmed down, Queenie noticed the gazes of the people around her, and many were pointing at and whispering about her. She finally realized that her series of out-of-control actions had completely tarnished her identity and reputation as the Songo family heiress. “Well! Nice to know! I finally understand now… You… You… You’re all in cahoots…” Queenie, despite her anger, had to suppress her rage and swallow her pride. She decided to go back first and think of another way. But no one had expected that, at that moment, several uniformed police officers entered through the gate. And the leading officer showed his badge and arrest warrant. “Miss Songo! Based on reliable witness testimonies, we suspect you of being involved in a murder case. This is an arrest warrant. Please come with us to the police station!” The words of the police shocked everyone in the room, and all eyes turned to Queenie. Queenie stood there dumbfounded, as if struck by lightning. It was only when the cold metal handcuffs were placed on her wrists that she snapped back to reality. “I didn’t commit murder! Why are you arresting me… I didn’t do anything… Let me go…” With all eyes watching, the police took Queenie away. Her shouts gradually faded at the doorway, and chaos erupted in the room. “Queenie Songo is now a suspect of a murder? No way! This is too terrifying!” “Look at how insane she looked. She definitely wanted to kill someone. If it wasn’t for Mr. Nine stopping her in time, Miss Linsey would definitely have suffered!” “Wow, Queenie Songo actually committed murder! It’s terrifying!” Listening to the people around, Cecelia couldn’t help but sneer in her heart. Who else could Queenie Songo blame for her arrest? She brought this upon herself by causing harm to others. What goes around, comes around! This was her third strike in the counterattack against the Songo Group! There would be even more intense actions coming up to them next! Just wait and see!
