Chapter 400 It Was Cecily Who Harmed Us
Aurelia's eyes widened in terror as she tried to scream, but Victor swiftly covered her mouth and dragged her forcefully into the room.
Cecily had barely taken two steps when the strange sensation in her body grew stronger. She knew the drug was potent, and after struggling with Victor for over ten minutes inside, she realized she couldn't go downstairs in her current state.
Clutching her chest, Cecily stumbled into a guest room.
Meanwhile, downstairs, Freya kept a close watch on the commotion upstairs.
Seeing that the time was almost up, she suddenly asked, "Why is Cecily taking so long to change her clothes and hasn't come down yet?"
"Yes, Cecily has been changing for about twenty minutes now. What's going on? Could she be feeling unwell?" Jennifer echoed Freya's concern, feigning worry. "Why don't we go up and check on her?"
At that moment, the front door opened, and everyone turned to look.
They saw Darian, dressed in an expensive black suit, tall and slender, walking in with a blank expression.
Every time Freya saw Darian, her heart couldn't help but race.
A servant stepped forward to take Darian's suit.
Darian changed his shoes and handed the suit to the servant.
The servant said, "Mr. Fitzgerald, Miss Watson and your children are here."
Darian responded indifferently, his gaze sweeping across the living room, landing on Sandra, Jennifer, and Freya. His deep eyes darkened.
Sandra noticed the emotion in his eyes and her smile deepened.
Although Darian had forgotten Cecily, once Cecily returned, his thoughts would inevitably be drawn to her.
Sandra understood that Darian was completely ensnared by Cecily, and no one could change that fact.
"Mom."
"Cecily is upstairs changing clothes, and Rowan and Griffin are with Owen. By the way, Owen asked you to see him."
Darian nodded.
Feeling ignored, Freya quickly stood up.
If Darian went to see Owen, he might be gone for a long time and miss the show.
She couldn't let that happen.
Freya hurriedly approached Darian.
Darian frowned and took a step back. "Don't come near me."
Seeing Darian's rejection, Freya felt hurt.
"Darian, I just want to talk to you."
"Don't call me that." Darian's voice was icy.
He hadn't forgotten Cecily's disdainful expression when she smelled perfume on him.
Freya's face turned pale with embarrassment, but that wasn't the main issue now.
"Mr. Fitzgerald, I just wanted to say that Cecily has been upstairs changing clothes for quite a while. I'm worried she might be unwell. I was thinking of going up to check on her, but as you know, Cecily always dislikes me, and she might not appreciate me going into her room. So Mr. Fitzgerald, could you go up and check on her? Otherwise, we can't be at ease."
Freya's words were reasonable and left no room for error.
Darian glanced at Sandra, who nodded. "It has been a while. My legs aren't convenient, so you should go check."
Darian headed straight to the room.
Freya's eyes gleamed with excitement.
Cecily was about to be ruined.
If Darian saw the scene of her and Victor making love, he would never forgive her.
"I'll go up too, in case they need help," Freya said eagerly, running upstairs.
Sandra, noticing Freya's barely contained excitement, felt something was off and immediately called a servant to push her upstairs.
Darian reached the room door, with Freya close behind. The door was tightly shut, but as they got closer, they could hear faint screams from inside.
Freya almost laughed out loud. She suppressed her excitement and asked with a worried face, "What's that sound?"
"It sounds like..." Jennifer hesitated, looking at Darian's darkening expression.
"Don't run, baby. I'll take good care of you." Victor's excited voice came from inside.
"Oh my God!" Freya exclaimed, covering her mouth in shock. "Isn't that Mr. Victor Fitzgerald's voice? Why is he in Cecily's room?"
"Is Cecily with Mr. Victor Fitzgerald...?" Freya trailed off, glancing cautiously at Darian.
"What's going on?" Owen, hearing the commotion, came down from the third floor with Rowan and Griffin.
"Mr. Owen, it seems something has happened. Cecily and Mr. Victor Fitzgerald are in there..." Freya said with a worried expression, her eyes indicating the tightly closed door.
"Where's our mommy?"
They were about to rush forward, but Darian stopped them.
Clearly, something was happening inside, and regardless of whether it involved Cecily, the children shouldn't witness such a scene.
Freya couldn't wait any longer and opened the door. The sounds inside became instantly clear.
The man's frenzied voice mixed with the woman's sobs.
Darian's brow furrowed deeply.
"Cecily, you..." Freya exclaimed, suppressing her excitement and feigning shock at the scene before her.
Darian's eyes darkened as he looked into the room. For a moment, he felt his blood freeze.
"Help! Help!"
It was Aurelia's voice!
Darian's eyes narrowed, and he strode into the room. He saw Victor, like a madman, tearing at Aurelia's clothes. Aurelia, not as strong as the crazed Victor, could only be pinned beneath him, desperately holding onto her last line of defense.
"Darian, help! Victor has gone crazy. He's gone crazy!"
Darian's long brows furrowed as he stepped forward, yanking Victor away and lifting Aurelia, wrapping her in a nearby blanket.
Aurelia's clothes had been almost completely torn off by Victor. Darian averted his gaze, silently watching them finish.
Victor, still not fully conscious, tried to pounce again, but Darian kicked him away.
Everyone at the door was stunned by the scene, including the experienced Owen, who couldn't believe what he was seeing.
'They are siblings!
Is Victor a beast to lay hands on his own sister?' he roared inwardly.
Freya and Jennifer stood there, dumbfounded. Freya muttered, "How could this be?"
'How could it be Aurelia? The person inside was clearly Cecily.
How could this happen?' she wondered.
"Why are you all gathered here?" Josep and Olivia returned, seeing everyone gathered and hurried over to see what was happening.
Olivia, noticing Sandra's worried expression, laughed and said, "Sandra, why do you look so worried? What's going on?"
Sandra glanced at Josep and Olivia, unsure how to explain, and said, "See for yourselves."
"See for ourselves? See what?" Josep and Olivia walked into the room.
The next second.
"Aurelia!"
Seeing the frenzied Victor and the disheveled Aurelia, they were instantly petrified.
"Dad, Mom!" Aurelia cried, rushing towards her parents.
Olivia quickly embraced Aurelia, her eyes fixed on the chaotic scene in the room, her throat feeling choked, unable to utter a sound.
As adults, they understood the scene with just one look.
"Dad, Mom, Victor went crazy. He went crazy and actually tried to..." Aurelia sobbed, unable to finish her sentence.
Although Darian had arrived in time, preventing her from actually being raped by Victor, the situation had clearly terrified her.
She had almost been...
Aurelia couldn't bear to think about it and cried in Olivia's arms.
Josep's expression changed drastically. Seeing Victor on the ground, he angrily walked over and kicked him, shouting, "You beast, you animal!"
Victor, now somewhat conscious, opened his eyes, bewildered by the people in the room.
As he took a few more kicks, Victor couldn't dodge. "Dad, what are you doing?"
"What did you do to Aurelia, you beast? I'm going to kill you today."
Josep frantically searched around, grabbing something handy and smashing it down on Victor.
Victor, who had just struggled like a beast fighting for food, was now completely exhausted and could only endure Josep's beating helplessly.
The room was in chaos.
Owen, watching the scene, clutched his throbbing forehead and closed his eyes deeply. "What a disgrace to the family, what a disgrace!"
Amid the chaos, Freya noticed something fall from Victor's pocket. She discreetly picked it up and put it in her own pocket.
Seeing Victor being beaten to death, Olivia rushed to stop it.
Darian, having no interest in their chaos, searched the room for Cecily. Not finding her, he grew anxious.
"Dad, stop hitting Victor. It was Cecily who did this,. She set us up on purpose."
