The Three Little Guardian Angels

Chapter 2547

‘I knew it! I knew he would come to me. Seems like Clover has succeeded! That woman must’ve already lost her baby!’

However, what she did not know was that the atmosphere in the living room was awkward.

Lucius was sitting on the couch with a dark expression on his face while Nollace sat opposite him, sipping on the tea the maid served him.

“Dad.”

Cecelia sat beside her father with a smile on her face. She looked at Nollace and said, “Why didn’t you tell me in advance that you’re coming to my house, Your Highness?”

Lucius’s face was getting darker and darker. He looked at her daughter and said, “Go back to your room, Cecelia.”

Noticing the grimness that latched onto the edge of her father’s voice, Cecelia was stunned for a moment. She asked, “What’s the matter? Is there anything that I can’t hear?”

Nollace put down the cup and replied calmly, “Nope. I came here exactly for you, Ms. Taylor.”

Cecelia was filled with exhilaration when she heard what Nollace said. “Did you hear that, Dad? His Highness is here for me.”

Lucius looked at Nollace and asked, “What do you want?”

“I guess you should ask your daughter that question.”

Cecelia was stunned, and it was only now that she realized something was wrong. “What… What’s wrong?”

Lucius set his jaw tightly and said, “I’m sure Cecelia wouldn’t do something like that.”

“Then ask your daughter and see for yourself if she really hasn’t done anything.”

Cecelia’s expression changed, and her heart jumped into her throat.

‘Did Clover sell me out? No, this is impossible! She wouldn’t do that!’

She rose to her feet and asked, “Your Highness, can you please tell me what I did?”

Nollace did not give Cecelia or her father any chance to say anything and played Clover’s recorded statement. Nobody spoke for a moment, and the living room was filled with only the sound of the recording.

Cecelia’s knees gave way, and she fell back on the couch. She shook her head and said, “No… Dad. She’s lying. I didn’t do-”

Before she could finish her sentence, Lucius turned around and slapped her across the face. Cecelia’s head turned sideways, and her eyes were filled with disbelief.

Lucius turned back to Nollace and tried to calm him down by saying, “Your Highness, I’m sorry for not educating my daughter well. I’m really disappointed that she would do something like this. Don’t worry. I’ll give you a satisfactory answer. I’ll keep her in the house from now onward.” Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Dad, no! You can’t do this to me!”

“Shut up! Look at what you’ve done!” Lucius reprimanded.

Cecelia covered her face and bit her lips.

Nollace let out a cold smile and leaned onto the back of the couch. “Don’t you think the punishment is a bit too light?”

Lucius frowned and said through gritted teeth, “What else do you want me to do?”

Nollace loosened his watch and continued calmly. “Your daughter killed the baby in my wife’s womb, and you’re just going to ground her? Are you sure the Taylors are capable of being responsible for the charge of plotting against a royal descendant?”

Lucius glared at his daughter for giving him so much trouble. He tried calming himself down and said, ” Your Highness, my daughter didn’t mean to harm your wife or child. Besides, the one who truly did it was that housekeeper.”

Cecelia hastily chimed in. “That’s right! She’s the one who did it! She’s lying to you!”

As long as she refused to admit it, she was certain that Nollace could not do anything to her since he was

in their house now.

After all, he had lost his child. She did not believe Nollace would do anything to the Taylors because of an

unborn child.

Nollace chuckled and played with his watch. “Are you trying to fool me, or you’re trying to fool the royal family?”

“Your Highness!” Lucius said with a stern voice, “We Taylors are loyal to the royal family. From my grandfather to my father, we have all served the king passionately. How could you doubt our loyalty?”
