Chapter 1243 Why Should He Help You
The second Angelo heard that, his eyes glimmered, and he licked his lips. “Haha! That means I’m going
to die among women.”
Cecilia was so mad that she panted heavily, but she did not dare to say anything.
After helping Angelo to settle down, Cecilia thrashed everything in the hall to vent the rage in her heart.
That was the only way she could vent her emotions.

“Lady Jingle, can that person really help us to get rid of Peyton? Why do I get the feeling he’s not a
reliable person?” one of the elders asked in puzzlement.
“Exactly. That man looks useless and lecherous. It makes me want to dig his eyes out so bad,” said
another elder furiously.
Cecilia recollected herself before saying slowly, “Regardless he’s capable or not, he’s our only hope for
now. Remember what I’ve said. When the crucial moment comes, take Millie and flee. Don’t bother about
me—”
Suddenly, Millie barged in and stared at Cecilia with teary eyes. “I’ll never leave without you, Cecilia!”
Seeing Millie had rushed in and found out about everything, Cecilia waved her hand to tell the elders to
leave.
“Millie, don’t be stubborn. I’m doing this to protect Crimson Palace. As long as you’re alive and have the
palace head’s decree, you can still rebuild Crimson Palace.” Cecilia stepped forward and gently wiped
Millie’s tears.
“I won’t. I won’t leave you behind. If you die, then we’ll die together. I can’t live without you, Cecilia!” Millie
buried her head in Cecilia’s embrace.
“You silly child. You’re all grown up. You can still live well without me.” Cecilia began tearing up as well.
Of course, she wanted to stay with Millie. On top of that, she knew Millie would have a tough life if she
left Millie. After all, the latter was still young.
However, she had no other choice but to prepare herself for the worst.
Right then, Jared came to Millie’s mind, and she asked Cecilia about him, “Cecilia, where’s Jared?
Where did he go?”
“He must’ve left Crimson Palace long ago.”
Cecilia had sent Jared off earlier. Hence, she figured the man had left Crimson Palace already.
“That’s impossible. I’ve been keeping an eye on the palace’s door, and I didn’t see Jared leaving. Maybe
he’s still in Crimson Palace! Jared’s a powerful person. Can’t we get his help?” Millie asked.
Cecilia put on an awkward smile. “Silly girl. It’s not as simple as you think. Not everyone is as innocent as
you. Why should he help you when you’re not related to him? Besides, Jared might’ve made a name for
himself in Jadeborough and has great abilities, but this is the south. Peyton has Divine Beast Sect that’s
backing him. Do you think Jared would dare to go against them?”

After a long silence, Millie suddenly said, “I’m going to look for Jared. Perhaps he’s still in Crimson
Palace, and perhaps he might help us.”
With that, she ran out before Cecilia could even stop her.
“This silly girl. She believes in people too easily.” Cecilia shook her head.
The next day, everyone in Crimson Palace looked stern and anxious.
All of them were on full alert as they gripped their weapons.
They were waiting for Peyton’s arrival.
Their survival depended heavily on that day.
Angelo, on the other hand, did not leave the room until it was late in the morning. When he walked out of
the room with a yawn, he saw Cecilia and the others waiting for him outside.
“Don’t worry, Lady Jingle. I promised Crimson Palace would be fine. So, there won’t be any problems,”
Angelo said confidently.
“Sorry to trouble you then, Mr. Calderon,” said Cecilia.
She was starting to believe in him when she saw how consistent Angelo’s confidence was. At that
thought, she let out a sigh of relief.
