Cecelia remained silent, and her eyes coldly fixed on Maggie.
The expert added, “The box may be genuine, but the manuscript. inside cannot be authentic. The paper’s texture indicates it has aged, but the ink is new. So it’s just a replica.”
Maggie stood up, sneering, “Cecelia, that’s such a childish trick!”
Her reaction was well within Cecelia’s expectations.
“Ms. Taylor, I won’t give you the original manuscript. A replica is my final offer.
If you want to develop Fragrant Clothes, does it matter whether it’s the original or a replica? Unless you have some other ulterior motive.
Cecelia’s tone was cold, and she stared at Maggie, standing her ground firmly.

“So, you don’t want to make this deal anymore? You don’t want your daughter back?”
Maggie’s eyes turned colder, and her expression grew more serious. “I don’t care about the deal, but I’m taking back my daughter!”
Cecelia wouldn’t easily back down.
“Hmph, since you broke your promise, I will not let you have your kid back!”
“I knew you’d say that! Since you adopted Doris, your eyes have focused on the manuscript. You’ve been waiting for this opportunity and schemed for so long to get it.
Cecelia could see through Maggie’s intentions and motives from when she proposed the exchange for the original manuscript.
‘Also, you keep saying that you had a good relationship with my mother, but based on the letters and other items she left behind, I didn’t see any sign of your close relationship. You got close to my mother to get that manuscript, didn’t you?”
Maggie stared at Cecelia, and her silence said it all.
Cecelia’s cold gaze became sharper, “Originally, I was grateful to you for raising Doris for five years, and I wanted to return the favor. But now, everything is part of your scheme, and I am no longer grateful to you.”

“Do you think you can make me surrender just by threatening not to let me take Doris? You’re getting too c ocky!
She’s my daughter, and I’m gonna take her away no matter what! Just wait to be subpoenaed!”
Cecelia turned to leave, but Maggie said, “Cecelia, don’t forget! Even if you are Doris’s birth mother, you haven’t taken any
responsibility for her in the past five years. I am her legal guardian, and the judge won’t grant custody to you!”
Cecelia, who had reached the doorway, turned back, her gaze icy, “But the judge won’t let a child stay with a criminal either!”
“What do you mean?”
“Ms. Taylor, have you forgotten, perhaps due to your old age? Esmee forced herself on Nick, and that caused a sensation in the Center City. Who was behind that?”
Maggie was visibly shocked that Cecelia brought that up.
“Do you want me to recap what happened back then? Professor Nick Miller loved my mother, and you admired Professor Nick Miller. But because you couldn’t have him, you sought revenge and manipulated Esmee to destroy Nick.
This is your tactic, right? If you can’t have something, you’d rather destroy it, right?”
“You’re talking nonsense! Do you have any evidence?”
Maggie’s emotions were getting out of control as she angrily questioned Cecelia.
“Evidence? Do you want testimonies or physical evidence? I have my mother’s diary! It records what happened among you all. As for the testimony, it’s Esmee! She’s with me!
Imagine if the world knows that you masterminded the downfall of the famous Professor Nick Miller; how would the public condemn you?
All these years, Esmee has borne the blame for you. Do you think your Taylor Group can survive if it all returns to you?”
Before Maggie knew it, the tide had turned.
Cecelia had the upper hand!
Maggie’s face darkened with rage as they confronted each other.
Maggie could never have imagined that the seemingly insignificant

Cecelia would be so ruthless!”
She had seriously underestimated her!
Cecelia was far more formidable than her mother.
Meanwhile.
In the office, Petunia was playing with Doris. At this moment, her a**istant rushed in and whispered something in her ear.
After hearing the news, Petunia’s face turned pale, and she, immediately told Doris, “Doris, I will take you home first. Let’s go!”
She made Doris carry her backpack, holding her hand tightly, and hurriedly led her through another pa**age to leave the office.

Her subordinates had just informed her that Doris’s biological mother had come, and Ms. Taylor instructed her to take the child and hide
her away.
So far, Petunia still didn’t know who Doris’s biological parents were. Maggie had never told her daughter about it.
Upon hearing that Doris’s birth mother had come to claim her, Petunia naturally wanted to take the child away as quickly as possible.
Petunia left Taylor Group through the back door, but just outside, she saw a group of b*dyguards standing there, and a car was parked nearby.
She immediately recognized the man sitting in the back seat- Remington.
Remington saw Petunia coming out with the child and walked down from the car. “Ms. Taylor, where are you taking Doris?”
“Mr. Nelson, I’m taking Doris home!”
Petunia explained. Seeing Remington appearing at her company’s back door at this moment, she was puzzled, wondering why he was there.
“Indeed, it’s time for Doris to go home!”
Remington directly said to Doris, “Doris, come on, I will take you to find your mommy!”
Doris was about to go, but Petunia stopped her. “Thanks, Mr. Nelson, but Doris doesn’t have a mommy. She grew up with her me. and grandmother.”

“Ms. Taylor, didn’t your mother tell you about Doris’s true identity?” Remington asked.
“What do you mean? What does it have to do with you?”
Petunia only knew that the child was adopted by her mother and was raised as their own.
Over the years, they had treated the child as a family member and given her the best care.
“Doris’s mother is still alive, and her mother is Cecelia.”

Remington revealed the truth to her, and Petunia was shocked after hearing it.
If Doris was Cecelia’s child, then she was the daughter of Cecelia and Remington.
Oh my G od!
Petunia could hardly believe her ears!
As the truth about the child’s identity unfolded, Petunia began to figure some things out.
She asked sadly, “So you mean, from the beginning, you got close to me because of Doris, not because you liked me?
Remington nodded, “I kept something from you, and I’m sorry.”
Petunia remained silent.
Her heart felt a sharp pain. She had thought that Remington had feelings for her, and she even started to anticipate their future in a romantic relationship.
But now she realized that it was all part of Remington’s plan!
She had been deceived!
Tears welled in her eyes, and Petunia asked sorrowfully, “Mr. Nelson, did you not feel anything for me during our time together?”
“I’m sorry, I only love Doris’s mother.”
Remington replied, then gestured to Doris, “Come here, Doris! Come to me!”
Feeling deeply hurt, Petunia embraced Doris tightly and exclaimed emotionally, “Doris is mine! None of you will take her away from me!”
