Chapter 1944 Clearing His Name


    Immediately, Magnus turned to Cecilia and the others, saying, "See? I was truly wronged."


    Cecilia fell silent.


    In spite of that, Kingston and Phoebe remained unconvinced.


    Their daughter rarely came homete. This was the first time, and also the first time she had drunk to such an extent. If one were to say that it had nothing to do with Magnus, they still found it somewhat hard to believe.


    Upon seeing Cecilia, Chelsea was somewhat puzzled. "Cecilia, why are you also here?"


    Immediately, Phoebe stepped forward and said, "There was a slight


    misunderstanding, but everything is fine now. Chelsea, you''ve had too much to drink. You should rest now."


    "Yeah, my head really hurts. I did drink too much," she admitted.


    Meanwhile, Kingston invited Cecilia and Magnus outside.


    There, he sincerely apologized, "Mr. Smith, I''m sorry that I misunderstood you.”


    He apologized to Cecilia again, saying, "Ceci, I''m really sorry for calling you over at such ate hour."


    Cecilia waved her hand. "Don''t worry about it. All that matters is that Chelsea is fine."


    "Indeed." Kingston nodded, then said, "She used to be so obedient. We never expected her to change so much. I assure you, we''ll talk to her after this."


    With nothing else to attend to, Cecilia and Magnus took their leave.


    Upon stepping out, Cecilia stopped Magnus, "Magnus, I misunderstood you today, I''m sorry."


    She jumped to conclusions, assuming that Magnus had truly done something wrong.


    Magnus pretended to be hurt. "Cecilia, you still don''t trust me. I''ve truly changed. I really want to date Chelsea. They say a reformed man is worth more than gold."


    "Um, I''m sorry," Cecilia apologized once again.


    She had made a mistake, so it was only right for her to apologize.


    "Don''t worry, you''re my sister. How could I ever me you? I must go now." Magnus bid her farewell, then got into the car.


    Once he got in the car, his expression changed in an instant. His eyes were filled with resentment.


    "That d*mned bartender, why did he have to meddle in my affairs?"


    ét


    He had taken Chelsea to the hotel, thinking that he would sleep with her.


    er, to his surprise, the


    bartender had followed them and even informed Chelsea''s parents.


    Had it not been for his sudden hunger, prompting him to go downstairs to buy some food, the deed would have already been done by the time Chelsea''s parents arrived.


    "Darn it!"


    Magnus mmed the steering wheel hard in frustration.


    At this moment, in Room 6008 of the Four Seasons Hotel, Chelsea had almost regained her sobriety.


    Her parents sat beside her, their eyes filled with confusion and heartache as they looked at her.


    "Do you have any idea how much danger you were in today, Chelsea?" Phoebe asked.


    Chelsea was well aware that she


    had overstepped her boundarieset


    that day. She had consumed far too much alcohol and spent time with a man she had only met twice before.


    "I''m sorry," she apologized.


    "Thank goodness nothing happened to you. Otherwise, it would be toote for regrets," said Phoebe.


    Kingston heaved a sigh. "We''ve always told you not to go out with strangers alone. You were really bold today. If it weren''t for that bartender, things would have gotten out of hand."


    Kingston, being a man himself, understood the true intentions of other men.


    After all, there was only one reason to bring a girl to a hotel.


    Chelsea massaged her temples. "I understand," she said, "I''ll definitely be more careful next time."


    Even though Magnus hadn''t done anything to her, Chelsea still felt a lingering


    unease.


    "It would be best if no next time," dered Kingston.


    "I understand." Chelsea nodded.


    Phoebe sat beside her, saying, "We''ve had someone investigate Magnus. He''s not Ceci''s younger brother by blood, so don''t let his appearance fool you."


    "How so?" Chelsea asked, puzzled.
