Chapter 18 What a Pair of Siblings!
“The Nelsons outrank most of the families. You have power and money, and I can gain a lot from bringing the blessing. If Young Master Remi recovers, Madam Nelson will pay me big time. Why wouldn’t I take the job?”
Cecelia wouldn’t reveal her true purpose, so in order not to rouse suspicion, she had to downgrade herself into a narrow–minded. woman who came here for money and power.
However, these words came through the ajar door to Remington’s ears without a single syllable missing.
Remington got depressed hearing those words.
He had seen it clear before that this woman was harboring some purpose.
She was such a snob, apparently taking this job for the Nelson money and the title of Mrs. Nelson!
Her words didn’t rouse Ronald’s suspicion, and with his lips curving up a smile, Ronald said, “Then take good care of my brother. I’ll pay you much as long as he’s better!”
“Thank you, Young Master Ronald.”
“As for the quarrel thing between Barry, Kalvin, and Andres, I’ve heard about it, and my mother and wife spoiled my kids too much, and my wife sometimes goes too far. I apologize to you on behalf of them. You don’t need to take that personally!
Saying, Ronald reached a hand to grab one of her shoulders and secretly gripped it.
He locked his pair of sharp eyes on hers like a hawk targeting its prey.
Did he just paw her the first time he met her?
Was he implying something by that?
Cecelia swayed back her shoulder and smiled lightly, “I get it. I won’t take it personally!”
“Ahem…”
At that moment, Remington’s intense coughs came out of the room, and Cecelia was urged to go back in.
Before the bed, she asked Jackson Chamber, “Dr. Chamber, is Young Master Remi alright?”
Jackson Chamber replied, “Young Master Remi’s mania is Post-

and lung recovered well, and if taken care of with medical treatment, he’ll have the chance to get well!”
Ronald Nelson gave a stare at Jackson Chamber, “Much obliged, Dr. Chamber. Please prescribe some medications for my brother!” Jackson Chamber took out two bottles of medicine from his medical kit, handed them to Cecelia, and told her about the volume.
“Okay, thank you, Dr. Chamber. I’ll keep my eyes on Young Master Remi and remind him to have them!”
“Thank you, Miss Linsey, for taking care of my brother. I’ll be back to check on him in a few days!”
After Jackson Chamber checked on Remington and prescribe medications, Ronald had to say goodbye and take him away.
They walked out of the door together, and when they left the Aroma Villa, Ronald whispered and asked, “Why would Remington wake up for no reason?”
“I’m not aware of that. I’m also wondering why Young Master Remin grabbed his mind suddenly. Maybe I miscalculated the volume of the potion.
Ronald Nelson exhaled a long sigh and asked, “How soon will the medicine today take effect?”
“Regularly one month after he takes it.”
“Excellent!”
A sinister hint flickered in Ronald’s eyes and his lips curved up into a complacent smile.
Remington put on a long face In the main bedroom and felt enraged so long as he imagined the scene and conversation between his brother and Cecelia.
Cecelia didn’t realize the man was upset but was scrutinizing the two bottles of medicines Jackson Chamber prescribed.
She took a shot of them and sent it to her assistant Verda Hill to do some searching.
When she didn’t talk, the whole room was quiet like no one was there. Yet, Remington shouted, “I need to the bathroom!”
“I heard you. Keep your voice down. I’m not deaf!”
She placed down the bottles, stood up, and asked, “Pee or dump? How are you gonna do it? Need me to carry you there or you’ll finish it on your bed?”
“Get outta here and find a guy back!”

“Fine!”
Cecelia called in a male family servant to help Remington handle his business.
She didn’t avoid them at first, for she wanted to see how the servant helped him, but he didn’t want her to see his private parts. He yelled, “Linsey, get out!”
She raised her beautiful eyebrows and talked back, “There’s nothing to expect. I’ll go!”
Remington,
Her words brought hot fury to him.
Nothing to expect?
Cecelia waited and come back until the servant left.
Soon enough, Remington once again yelled out, “I need water!”
She poured a glass of water for him and served him to take a sip, but he deliberately picked on, “Too hot!”
She poured some cool water into the glass, but he continued, “Tool cold!”
“Too hot and too cold? What’s that supposed to mean?”
She could sense that this mister is releasing his wrath on her.
“I only drink water of 37.5 degrees! No lower or higher!”
Remington thought he made it difficult for Cecelia and she would take it. Unfortunately, she wouldn’t.
She poured the water into a bin, and said, “Then you won’t drink it! I don’t care how thirsty you are! And when the thirst beats you up, bet you’ll drink pee!”
“You damn woman! How dare you abuse me? You think I won’t kick you out of our family?”
Remington was so angry at the fact that Cecelia didn’t react as he predicted.
On top of disobeying him, she dared to challenge him!
“Who dares kick my granddaughter–in–law out of our family? Who can take care of you if she’s gone? I heard about the snake last night, and were it not for Cecelia, you’d be bitten! Now instead of thanking her, you’re going to kick her out?”

grandson roaring the kick–out–Cecelia speech.
A good–looking woman followed Madam Nelson when she walked in, and it was Cynthia Nelson, Remington’s sister, who opened her mouth, “Brother, you should tame your temper! Or you’ll never find a wife for the rest of your life!”
“Beat it!” Remington was rude even to his sister. But in his defense, she had it coming by cursing him that he couldn’t find a wife.
“Grandma, look at him. He’d die alone!”
Cynthia didn’t stop but continued, “What kind of dumb girl would choose him and even have a baby with him? Oh, such a poor girl!”
It brought a blush up Cecelia’s cheeks, and she was too embarrassed to admit she was the mentioned poor girl.
Judging from the conversation between the siblings, they must have been in many fights before!
What a pair of siblings!
Cecelia continued, “Madam Nelson, you’re here just in time! I’m going to talk with you about that snake!”
“What on earth is going on?” Madam Nelson asked.
“I’m also wondering how the snake came out of nowhere?”
“That was a venomous snake from abroad, not local. I suspected that someone was trying to murder Young Master Remi.
Madam Nelson and Cynthia were shocked, and Cecelia added, “Madam Nelson, all we need to do now is find out who sent the snake and catch the murderer!” C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
“That’s right. We’ll have to catch the murderer!”
Madam Nelson soon called in Carlos Minton the butler and passed her order, “Dig it up. Do not miss any clue and suspects!”
“Yes, ma’am!” Carlos Minton answered.
Right at that moment, Florence Omar hurried in and reported, “Miss. Linsey, I just found out, the snake was gone!”
“Gone?”

The people in the room came out downstairs and Cecelia found that the snake was really gone from where she hung it.
“Madam Nelson, that snake was hanging in the corner of the hall. I kept it as evidence for you to check. Somehow, it’s gone now.” Cecelia explained.
“But how was it gone? Who would take it away?” Madam Nelson asked.
Cecelia took a look at the servants around and they were all shaking their heads and saying they didn’t see anyone there.
Cynthia looked over at the Villa and said, “Badly, that corner has no cameras, a dead end. We won’t know who took it away.‘
“It’s obvious. That person dared to steal that snake during the daytime for only one reason. He or she is guilty and fears Madam Nelson to investigate that case. Therefore, he who stole the snake must be who sent it here!”
That was why Cecelia orchestrated it that way, hanging the snake up there in the corner that cameras didn’t cover so that the murderer could steal it away.
It was daytime and the man must be too afraid to let Madam Nelson investigate the case so he stole the evidence, which was why he took risks to do the stealing.
And that was the trap Cecelia wanted that guy to get into.
It was all going according to her plan, and then she could trace that murderer by it.
“You’re right! Miss Linsey, what a clever girl you are!”
Cynthia’s eyes shimmered brightly as she found Cecelia not only smart but beautiful and treat Andres well. She was such a perfect Sister–in–law material!
Madam Nelson also credited Cecelia’s assertation and asked, “What are we gonna do to spot that murderer?”
“Madam Nelson, you can go back now. Then, gather all Nelsons at the front lobby and I’ll prove to you how the true murderer is!”
“Great!”
Madam Nelson agreed, and Cynthia got excited expecting how Cecelia, the female Sherlock Holmes, to grab the tail of that murderer.
Her expectation went high!

As the matriarch, Madam Nelson gathered every family member of the Nelsons at the main lobby of the Nelson Mansion with all servants standing outside the gate in lines.
Except for Maria Albert and Lydia Charton who got injured, and Remington who couldn’t move, nearly every member was here.
As Cecelia walked into the lobby, she learned how complicated the family network was seeing all the members. Even Samuel Nelson, Remington’s father, showed up.
She was told that Master Samuel was running the Nelson International Corp overseas and he barely lived in the mansion during the years.
Cecelia swept her eyes around and received all the attention, which was when Madam Nelson asked, “Cecelia, honey, this is everybody. How are you gonna spot that murderer?”
“Madam Nelson, I hung the snake up in the corner of the hall where no cameras cover, so if the snake was stolen away, we couldn’t know who did it.
“But if the murderer thinks he can get away with it, he or she will be so naive! I smeared with some special powder the rope where I hung up the snake, and anyone who took it off must have some on his or her hands.”
“Flip your palms up and let me check them. I’ll give you the murderer!”
Cecelia sounded very certain, and Ronald in the crowd was staring at her, trying to hide his smirk.
Madam Nelson followed and gave her order, “Everyone, flip your palms up and let Miss Linsey check!”
They had to reach out their hands because only doing this could help them get off the suspicion.
Cecelia began to check on them one by one from inside to outside the gate, with no exception.
When she came back, Madam Nelson asked, “What’s going on? Did you spot the murderer?”
“I didn’t, Madam Nelson. I suspect he must have worn gloves.” Cecelia answered.
Sabrina Nelson sneered, “Stop your tricks, better leave the case to the police to crack! You think you’re a detective?”
Cecelia had a look at Sabrina with cold detachment. She ignored the taunt and spoke to Madam Nelson, “Madam Nelson, even if the murderer was wearing gloves, I have a way to find him!”
