Chapter 367 Her Deliberate Probe

Cecelia shook her arm to get rid of the water and glanced down at her wet clothes, quickly unbuttoning her collar to cool her skin.

The tea was hot, and she felt much pain even though she had been scalded through the clothes.

Her skin was fair, and her arms quickly turned red because of the burn.

“I’m fine, but Mariah, I really don’t understand why you would do this?” Cecelia looked up at the woman in front of her with cold eyes.

She had seen through Mariah’s trick, and she wanted to question Mariah why Mariah was targeting her.

“Is Mariah helping Mizey deal with me?” Cecelia wondered

Warda realized the trouble caused by his wife and looked at Cecelia’s scalded arm. With blame in his eyes, he scolded, “Mariah, how could you be so careless? Look! You scalded Cecelia.”

“I’m really sorry. I just wanted to get a new cup of tea. I didn’t notice Cecelia when she happened to come in. Oh no, Cecelia! Your clothes are wet, and your skin is red. It’s all my fault. Shall I take you to get changed and apply some ointment on you?”

“No, thanks!” Cecelia rejected it.

Through this incident, she realized that Mariah was a real angelic bitch.

Since she dared to mess with Cecelia, Cecelia would get back at her sooner or later.

When Alfred heard the news of Cecelia’s return, he ordered, “Cecelia is back. Get ready to serve dinner!”

“Yes!”

A sumptuous dinner was served, and everyone took their seats and began eating.
