Married by Accident, Taming the Billionaire

Chapter 368 Finally Spilling the Beans

As Alfred spoke, he realized his slip of the tongue and quickly stopped.

“What does it have, Granduncle?” Cecelia stared at the old man without blinking, studying his aged, livid face.

She thought to herself, “Hmph! You finally spilled the beans.”

“Well, nothing,” Alfred responded. He then inwardly cursed, “D*mn it! How could she actually burn something so important?” He was so furious that he wanted to stomp.

However, Alfred didn’t really believe Cecelia because he knew this girl was very cunning.

“Let me guess! Is it true that there’s a royal tomb map hidden in the secret manual, just as the rumors say? Everyone wants the manual just to find the treasure in that tomb, right?” Cecelia asked.

Alfred stared at her in surprise, opening his mouth but not denying it.

Cecelia continued, “But Granduncle, do you realize your age? You’re eighty-eight years old, practically one foot in the ground. Even if you find the treasure, do you have the energy to get into the royal tomb and find it? I might believe you if you said you wanted to be buried there after your death.”

When it came to cursing people, Cecelia was definitely a master among masters.

She could insult someone without using a single dirty word.

“You have quite a sharp tongue, girl,” Alfred remarked. His aged face turned livid with anger as he listened to her sarcastic words. Nothing offended someone his age more than telling him that he didn’t have much time left.

“I only have a sharp tongue, but some people have vicious hearts and cruel methods. Don’t tell me that you’re looking for the treasure for the offspring of the Songo family! Is it necessary for the Songo family, with its background and status, to go to such lengths to explore an ancient tomb? Besides, you should know that royal tombs and ancient graves belong to the country, not to any individual. Is it worth expending so much effort on just a few ancient artifacts? Tell me, Granduncle, is there a secret behind the Collection of Fragrant Clothes that outsiders don’t know?” Cecelia suddenly got closer to the old man, making Alfred feel uneasy.
