Married by Accident Taming the Billionaire (Cecilia)
Chapter 345 Mr. Cyrus Was Missing

Chapter 345 Mr. Cyrus was Missing

"My beautiful lady, may I?" Remington reached out his hand gentlemanly, and Cecelia gave her hand to him. They stepped onto the dance floor together for the first dance. They were the center of attention tonight, and their every move attracted much attention.

Everyone envied them. Men envied Remington for having a beautiful woman in his arms, while women envied Cecelia for winning Remington's heart.

They looked at each other affectionately with their implicit dance moves of the same rhythm.

Winnie, outside the dance floor, also paid attention to Cecelia. She was heisting whether she should apologize to Cecelia.

She couldn't bring herself to do it!

After the first dance, Cecelia was about to leave the dance floor when Remington pulled her back. He wanted to dance with her again.

Other men and women began to look for dance partners and entered the dance floor.

Handsome men would have many women come to invite them to dance. A young lady came to Rupert and asked him to dance, but he refused.

He held the champagne glass and looked at Ariella across the dance floor. Ariella was watching Cecelia dancing with admiration in her eyes.

It didn't matter that no one asked her to dance. She didn't want to dance anyway.

Rupert drank all the wine in his glass, put down the glass, and walked towards Ariella. Ariella keenly noticed Rupert walking towards her, and she ran out of the hotel quickly to avoid him. She thought she could avoid meeting Rupert this way, but unexpectedly, Rupert chased her out.

Outside by the pool, Rupert stopped her, "Ariella, stop!"

Ariella froze, and she could only stop. She turned around and asked expressionlessly, "Mr. Jackbone, what's the matter?"

"Now I'm not talking to you as a friend, but as your boss. Do you understand?" Rupert sounded serious.

Ariella shook her head and said, "I don't quite understand. What boss?"

"Don't you know yet? Jackbone Group has acquired the company you work for. I'm your boss!"

Ariella was too shocked to speak. She had heard rumors from her colleagues that the company might be acquired, but she hadn't expected that Rupert had accepted it. Had he become her boss?

"I see. I will resign tomorrow!" This was Ariella's reaction when she learned about it.

Now that the company had become Rupert's, she thought she'd better resign.

With that, Ariella passed Rupert and walked away, but he grabbed her wrist.

He was distraught, "What's your attitude? I said I had acquired your company, but you will resign?"

How much did she dislike him?

"Mr. Jackbone, I can resign if I want to. This is my own business! Please let me go!" Ariella was a strong woman, and she pulled away hard, causing her to lose her balance. She staggered in her high heels and couldn't help falling back.

"Hey..." Seeing her fall into the swimming pool, Rupert rushed over in time and put his arm around her waist.

He successfully caught her, and they looked at each other like a couple on TV.

But Ariella couldn't resist gravity due to her weight after all. After stopping at the edge of the swimming pool for several seconds, she dragged Rupert into the swimming pool.

With a thud, a huge splash of water appeared in the calm swimming pool as they fell, and the splash quickly submerged them and they sank.

After falling into the water, Ariella began to struggle. Rupert struggled to get her out of the water and push her back to the edge.

Ariella lay down by the swimming pool, spit out a mouthful of water, and started coughing. She found her nose hurting from being choked by the water.

Rupert also lay on the edge, wiping the water off his face, "How are you?"

"Ahem... I'm fine..."

"It's all your fault. You're too heavy, and you dragged me into the water. Do you know how long it took me to get this look?"

Ariella knew it had cost him a lot of money and time to do the styling, and she considered apologizing. But on second thought, it wasn't her fault!

"Who told you to pull me up? If you hadn't pulled me up, I wouldn't have fallen. You deserve it!"

Rupert's eyes widened in anger when he heard her so ungrateful, "You...you are such an ungrateful woman! I saved you just now, or you would have sunk to the bottom like a cannonball!" He was comparing her to a cannonball?

Ariella was pissed off by his sharp tongue, "I didn't ask you to save me! I beg you to stay away from me. Every time I see you, something bad happens!"

Ariella turned around and tried to get ashore from the side, but Rupert reached out and pulled her back.

It was just that his hand accidentally touched something he shouldn't have felt.

"Bastard! How dare you touch me?" Ariella folded her arms in fright with a blushing face and kicked him angrily.

Rupert was kicked away and swam a little in the pool. He looked at his hand suspiciously. What had he just touched?

Was it a sponge?

It felt so soft!

After Ariella climbed ashore, she ran away in embarrassment. Rupert was stunned for a while before coming up from the water.

Cecelia and Remington finished their dance at the event and left the dance floor together.

A subordinate came in to inform Cecelia that her excellent friend Ariella was in trouble and asked her for help.

"I'll go take a look!" Cecelia told Remington before she came outside the hotel and saw Ariella dripping wet.

"Ariella, what's going on?"

"I just accidentally fell into the water."

"Come with me and change your clothes." Cecelia took Ariella to the hotel room.

All activities had been completed, meaning today's succession ceremony ended.

Roger came with his wife Winnie to say goodbye, "Remington, thanks for your kind invitation. We are going back! Goodbye!"

"Okay! See you!" Just as Remington was about to leave, one of his subordinates suddenly ran in and reported to him, "Mr. Nelson, something happened!" "What's up?" Remington looked stern.

Roger and Winnie had turned around and were about to leave. But when they heard "something happened," they both stopped and wanted to know what had happened. "Just now, the children played hide-and-seek outside, but we discovered Mr. Cyrus was missing. We searched the entire garden and couldn't find him."

When Roger and Winnie heard that the child was missing, they looked at each other.

Remington was highly nervous and frowned, "Are you sure you have searched everywhere? Could he be hiding somewhere?"

Roger said, "Mr. Nelson, let's take a look!"

They all came to the garden together. There was an area here that was a children's playground. At this time, many bodyguards were looking for the child.

The other children were taken away by their parents one after another, leaving three children of the Nelson family and several others who hadn't been taken away. Roger's son Hubert was supposed to be playing with the children. But when they arrived at the scene, neither Roger nor Winnie found him.

"Why is Hubert missing too?" Winnie suddenly became panicked.
