Chapter 439 Join Forces for a Deal

Maggie lowered her head, remained silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and said, “It was me, but not entirely me. Everything I did was ordered by Tobiani. Everything he did was to clear obstacles and obtain the Songo family’s secret manual.” She revealed the truth to Cecelia. “I know my hands are stained with blood and I have committed grave sins, but if I had a choice, I wouldn’t have done so much for Tobiani.” Cecelia believed that what she said might be true. The root of all evil lay in Tobiani’s ambition! Maggie was nothing more than a sword in his hands, a tool to be used. “I believe what you said. Have you also heard of the legend that The Collection of Fragrant Clothes contains a treasure map of the Imperial Tombs? Don’t you find it absurd that he is doing all this for that purpose?” “I really want to know the true reason why Tobiani made you hide for so many years to obtain the secret manual.” Maggie’s tears had dried up, but her expression remained upset. She sighed softly and said, “Actually, it’s not about the treasure of the Imperial Tombs, but something even more important than that.” “Before I left Dark Moon, he already told me that finding The Collection of Fragrant Clothes could lead to the discovery of a map to a mysterious ancient country, and that map seems to be hidden within The Collection of Fragrant Clothes.” “A mysterious ancient country?” Cecelia was shocked by her words. Was Tobiani searching for a mysterious ancient country? This was too far-fetched! Whether it was the Imperial Tombs or the mysterious ancient country, Cecelia didn’t believe in such claims.

She had only found the land contract of Songo Dyehouse in the first half of The Collection of Fragrant Clothes. Where did the map come from? “I don’t know if what he said is true. The only reason I know is this.” Maggie told Cecelia everything she knew and also made it clear that she was no longer an enemy of Cecelia. It was because of Cecelia’s heartfelt confession just now that Maggie could now be honest. Cecelia felt that she might be able to get more clues from Maggie, so she asked again, “Since he has been planning this for twenty or thirty years, do you know the real reason behind the extermination of my grandfather’s Done family?” “I don’t know who did it, but it wasn’t Tobiani. There are many forces outside, just like Dark Moon, who are coveting The Collection of Fragrant Clothes.” “After your grandmother’s true identity was exposed, the Done family was destined to not have peace. Although I don’t know who destroyed the Done family, when I took over your grandfather’s Canes Mansion, it wasn’t through a foreclosure auction, but from a reselling seller. He was not Gary.” “Not Gary? Then what is the name of the reselling seller?” Cecelia had always assumed that it should be Gary who dealt with the Done family, so why wasn’t it him? Could it be that after the incident with the Done family, the real estate and family assets went through several intermediaries? “Jaxon Brown.” “How to spell Jaxon?” Maggie explained, “J – A – X – O- N.” Jaxon? Cecelia thought for a moment. She had never heard of this name before. Who exactly was this person? What was the relationship between him and the downfall of the Done family? Cecelia couldn’t figure it out for a while. In the end, she said, “I will investigate thoroughly when I go back.”

She had said almost everything she needed to say and had also clarified many questions. As for how to deal with Maggie? Killing her probably wouldn’t have much impact on Tobiani. To stop Tobiani from committing more evil, Cecelia had a new plan. “Mrs. Taylor, why don’t we make a deal together?” “What?” “I will help you persuade Jersey and resolve the resentment between you two. In return, you help me bring down Tobiani!” In this world, there were no real enemies. When interests changed, former enemies could also become allies. The person that Cecelia really wanted to deal with was Tobiani. After hearing Cecelia’s words, Maggie’s pupils shook and she showed a look of astonishment. “Do you want to deal with Tobiani? Deal with Dark Moon?” Maggie could hardly believe it. Did Cecelia not know the consequences of opposing Tobiani and Dark Moon? Especially Tobiani, she couldn’t even imagine his identity, status, and power. Who would dare to confront him? “You don’t need me to describe how cruel Tobiani is. He used me, causing me to be separated from my daughter. He deliberately wanted to obtain the secret manual. He is extremely wicked and deserves to be killed by everyone.” “Do you still want to continue serving him and being controlled by him?” “Of course, I don’t want to, but… I’m running out of time.” Maggie also wanted to live a normal life, but reality didn’t allow it! “Is the time for the death contract almost over? How much time is left?” “He originally planned carefully and gave me a deadline until I found the secret manual. But I still haven’t completed the task, and he no longer expects anything from me. I am a discarded pawn, with only one month left… I…”

When Maggie thought of this, tears uncontrollably welled up in her eyes. She was afraid she wouldn’t even have a chance to resolve her grievances with her son. When the deadline arrived, Dark Moon would send assassins to end her life, and she would have nowhere to escape! “So, you’re just accepting your fate like this?” Cecelia’s eyes revealed determination and resolve. “Mrs. Taylor, I have never believed in fate. I only believe that fate is in our own hands! Since you are going to die anyway, I might as well take a gamble!” Maggie raised her eyes in shock. She was once again deeply shaken in her heart. She thought Cecelia would kill her, but Cecelia subverted her imagination. She was still afraid to confront Tobiani, unable to forget how he brutally killed Zephyr. When that man became cruel, he could do anything! Joining forces with Cecelia, she was afraid she wouldn’t be his match! “But with our strength, how can we possibly shake the power of Dark Moon? It’s like ants trying to move a tree!” Maggie didn’t have much power of her own. She only had a place in the business world. “Mrs. Taylor, Tobiani is cruel and heartless, and no one supports him. Even Jersey has left him. This shows that his ultimate fate will be to be betrayed and abandoned by everyone! “You have become a discarded pawn, and you know too many of his secrets. He even mistakenly believes that you have cuckolded him. So he won’t be able to spare you! “Even if you don’t think for yourself, you should consider your children! He knows that Jersey is not his biological son, and he mistakenly believes that Petunia is the daughter of you and Zephyr. So, do you think he will let them go?” Maggie clenched her clothes, feeling so much pressure that she almost couldn’t breathe. It didn’t matter if she died, but what would happen to her children? “If I’m not mistaken, when the time comes, the assassins he arranged will not only take your life but also theirs!”Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Cecelia told her the seriousness of the situation, and then turned around and said, “Think about it carefully! Will you just wait to die, or will you join forces with me to fight back?”
