Chapter 364 Superb Plan
Alfred motioned for Johnson to step back, looked at Queenie, and said, “Queenie, I spare you because Cecelia interceded. Don’t let this happen again! Apologize to her! It would be best if you got along well in the future. Don’t make trouble for her again!”
Queenie understood Cecelia’s power, so she dared not disobey him and said, “I see, Grandpa.”
Then, she looked up at Cecelia, suppressed her hatred, and said, “I’m sorry, Cecelia. It was my fault. I know I was wrong. From now on, I will treat you as my family member. Please forgive me!”
“Sure. Aunt Dana, please take Queenie back and treat her wounds!”
Hearing her words, Dana gave her a stern look, helped Queenie, and left West Garden.
After the people watching the fun dispersed, Alfred stayed here. Cecelia was waiting for this opportunity and asked, “Great-uncle, who is living inside?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Jesper appeared at the door. He was waving the big when cursing, “I’ll cut you to death!”
Seeing him act like a madman, Alfred sighed and explained, “His name is Jesper. He used to be our butler before he became insane. I fear he may hurt others, so I locked him up in West Garden. He occasionally returns to normal and takes good care of the Garden but often acts like this.”
Cecelia nodded and asked, “Did my grandmother live here before?”
“Yes, she used to live here. But she left nothing there after she left.”
Alfred stood outside the door, looked at the crazy man, and shouted, “Jesper, be careful. Don’t hurt yourself!”
Jesper turned a deaf ear and continued to go crazy. After a while, he cut the branches to pieces.
Alfred shook his head, ordered the servants to lock the door, and asked them to guard here. Then, he turned around and left, followed by Cecelia.
Before leaving, she looked back at the door and decided to return later.

Speak Garden in the east was Queenie’s family’s residence.
Dana and Chris took her back, closed the door, and cheated on her wounds. Seeing the overlapped lash marks, Dana cried in distress and said, “Your wounds are serious! They look scary.”
Queenie was still crying when she said, “Mom, Cecelia set me up! She hurt me!”
“Don’t say such words. If your grandfather hears them, he will punish you more!”
Dana took out some medicine and applied it to her wounds.
Queenie stopped talking but was cursing Cecelia in her heart. Thinking of her charming face, she hated her to the core.
Cecelia had used Queenie’s plan to plot against her and pretended to be excellent. She had interceded because she wanted to build up a broad-minded persona. Others would not doubt her no matter what she did next. Instead, they might suspect Queenie.
It was a superb move!
Queenie knew she had made a mistake. Although she had been punished, she did not repent. Instead, she wanted to plot against Cecelia more. She would not let her get away with it. Wait and see!

When Cecelia accompanied Alfred to the main hall, they chatted a lot about the Songo family. She asked, “The Songo family is famous for the Songo Dyehouse. Is there any incense dye workshop left?”
“Yes. I was just about to tell you about this. I will show you around the dyeing workshop tomorrow morning!”
Alfred took the initiative to take her to the Songo Dyehouse because he had a purpose.
“OK! I want to take a look. I’ll go downtown this afternoon.”
“Do you need me to arrange people to accompany you?”
“No, thanks. My assistants will go with me.”
After sending him back, Cecelia said goodbye and left.
Seeing this, Alfred winked at a subordinate who immediately took the hint and quietly followed her.
The car soon went out of the Songo family.
Adam was driving while Cecelia and Remington sat in the backseat. After getting in the car, he quietly held her hand.
“Cecelia, the Songo family are shameless. I did not expect them to want to harm you. They are stupid!”
When Adam glanced at her in the rearview mirror, she smiled, “I offended Queenie. When she took the initiative to talk with me, I guessed she was plotting against me. It is within my expectations.”
Remington proudly said, “You are smart. She was seeking death to fight you.”
Adam asked, “By the way, did you find anything in West Garden?”
“I met Jesper and was almost bitten by his dog. He was fierce at first. But after I revealed my identity, he reacted violently. He must know something. But Alfred doesn’t want me to ask about it, so he ordered people to guard there today. I will find an opportunity to go there again.”
Cecelia had made up her mind but could not do it right now. After all, she had alerted the enemy. Alfred would monitor the backyard more closely.
Adam asked, “Where are we going now?”
“We will go to the police station to check the files.”
“OK!”
He would do whatever she ordered.
Remington reminded him, saying, “Let’s get rid of the tail first.”
Adam also spotted the car following them, so he said, “OK! Sit tight! I’m going to speed up!”
After he stepped on the accelerator, the speed of the car increased. Seeing this, the vehicle following them also accelerated.
It would have only taken ten minutes to get to the nearest police station, but Adam took a detour in Porema and showed off his excellent driving skills in the inner ring, sticking in wherever there was room.
When they left the inner ring, they had long gotten rid of the car following them. After arriving at the police station, they went in together.
Mr. Boris received them.
“Hello, officer. I want to check some information about Cassie Songo.”
“What’s your relationship with her?”
“I am her granddaughter.”
Mr. Boris looked at her in surprise and asked, “You’re Cassie’s granddaughter? You are on the news today, right?”
The Songo family always attracted the media’s attention. They had had a new product launch today, so they were headlines and had become a trending topic.
Both citizens and the police had watched the news. Mr. Boris had never expected the woman who had slapped the Songo family in the face at the new product launch conference to come to the police station.
“Yes, officer. My name is Cecelia Linsey.”
Mr. Boris excitedly asked, “Ms. Linsey, what exactly do you want to check?”
Cecelia expressed her intention, saying, “I want to check the case files related to my grandma. Can you please help me check the records?”
