I Won’t Pick Up The Trash I Threw Away Again

Chapter 118



Chapter 118

I looked at the door, wondering if it was Sir Rohen. But it was a maid, not Sir Rohen, who opened the door and entered.

Expectation diminished like a deflated balloon and disappointment filled its place.

The maid came in with a large cake on a tray.

Finally, the cake is here.

It must have been the cake Philen prepared.

The maid put the cake tray next to me.

Up close, the cake was much larger and more colorful. It was about three stories high, and gold powder was sprinkled all over it.

Could it be that the thing that's stuck up there is a real jewel?

Happy birthday, Leila.

I couldn't believe birthday greetings could make me feel this bad.

Thank you, Duke.

But thanks to him, I also got a great opportunity to bring this out.

I thought you would prepare a birthday cake for me, so I brought something with me.

I rang the bell and Ness brought a bottle of champagne. It was the champagne that Cecily gave me as a gift yesterday.

Cecily looked at the champagne and didn't react much. She blinked as if she had never seen it before. 

Seeing her reaction, I wondered if I was mistaken, but it was just in case.

I have nothing to lose anyway, so let's push it to the end. 

This is the champagne Miss Cecily gave me yesterday. She got a good one, but since I drank it only by myself, I brought it here with me.

When I beckoned, Ness poured the champagne into their glasses.

I think it'll go well with the cake, so lets drink it together.

"That's a good idea. Cecily, did you do such an admirable thing without me knowing?

When Philen asked with a satisfied smile, Cecily replied with a small smile.

Of course, I should. Because we are a family now.

We, huh? 

But what should I do? I can't drink alcohol because my body hasn't recovered yet. Phil, too, can't drink because his hand hurt before."

Oh, right. I did."

Ah, I wondered why she was so confident, it's because she didn't have to drink it, huh? 

Champagne is an extremely low-alcohol drink.

I didn't want to let her slip away like a loach.

It is said that a glass of light alcohol is good for blood circulation. So, wouldn't a glass be okay? Its also a toast to celebrate my birthday.

Thats also true.

Philen's light ears continued to flutter even at this moment.

Cecily's eyes shook slightly as Philen acted as if he would drink the champagne at any moment. But it was really a fleeting moment. She looked at Philen as if nothing was wrong and said.

Still, I think you better be careful. Its your right hand, not the other hand. It's a big deal if it gets worse.

Hmm. 

If you want a toast, Ill bring you non-alcoholic champagne. I can drink it too if it's that.

The more Cecily did that, the more my suspicion turned into certainty. She must have added something to the champagne.

However, if I said that here, I was sure Cecily would get away again.

I have to make sure she can't get away.

For that to happen, Sir Rohen had to come, but when on earth would he come? It's already past 1 o'clock.

It was when I kept drinking only water because my mouth was dry due to anxiety that he might not be able to come.

"Forgive me for being late!"

At last, the long-awaited Sir Rohen appeared.

Sir Rohen was not alone. Behind him were the woman I had seen yesterday and a man in a brown robe. He brought the people I told him about. 

I looked at Sir Rohen with a beam of delight.

Who said it was okay for you to come in, Sir Rohen?

Philen, on the other hand, glared at Sir Rohen and asked in a slightly bloody tone.

As Sir Rohen looked at me, I then stood up. I didn't forget to bring the reticule that I had next to me.

I called him. 

Philen looked at me with disgruntled eyes.

Why did you call Sir Rohen?

It's to prove my innocence.

I took out the result from my reticule so that everyone could see it.

This is the result from Abeldan Pharmacy for the two drugs I received from the Duke yesterday.

"So what?"

Philen's reaction was indifferent. He seemed to think that the result was the same as he thought.

Well, is it really?

A laugh came out. It was better to show it to him directly rather than with words, so I handed the result to Philen through the butler.

Philen's face, who received the result with an indifferent face, was distorted in an instant.

"This!

Cecily also peeked from the side, and immediately opened her eyes in disbelief. 

I smiled and told them the result.

As you can see, the red drug is for pregnancy, and the blue drug is for abortion. 

"NO WAY!"

Cecily shouted, denying the result. Philen also raised one eyebrow in disbelief.

Can I trust this result?

Are you doubting the skill of Abeldan Pharmacy?

Maybe because he wasn't, Philen shut his mouth. 

However, he still seemed to not believe the result. No, he couldn't believe it either. If the blue drug was the abortion drug, all the excuses he had to threaten me would disappear.

And that was exactly what I wanted.

The blue drug is definitely the abortion drug. That's what I was told when I received them from Countess Thebesa.

Countess Thebesa?

"Yes. Those drugs were given by Countess Thebesa. Just in case."

I deliberately didn't mention that just in case' was Cecily. 

I wasn't covering for Countess Thebesa. I just didn't want to get involved in something more troublesome than this.

Everyone was startled by my words. Cecily's face turned white, and Philen stared at me absurdly.

Youre not lying to cover your fault, are you?

Its all true. If you have any doubts, you may ask another pharmacy.

Then Philen narrowed his eyes and frowned. There was a sign of anguish. 

You shouldn't be in agony already, Philen. I still have a lot to show you.

The maid, who brought the Duke this blue vial, said this, didn't she? That she saw me holding these vials.

Philen answered in silence.

Thats weird.

I tilted my head slightly as if I was really puzzled.

The maid came in after I left the mansion, so how could she see it?

what?"

Not only Philen but also Cecily looked surprised. I guessed she didn't know either. Well, if she had known, she wouldn't have been stupid enough to make Kenna do such an important thing.

As expected, it was like that!

Cecily clapped her hands and spoke in a lilting voice.

As I expected, the Baron was innocent.

What?

The former chief maid named Misa planned this on her own. I didn't know about that and yet I suspected the Baron

Tears welled up in Cecily's big, deer-like eyes. She covered her mouth with both hands and continued.

Im so sorry, Baron Aster. Although I'm only saying this now, I believed in the Baron's innocence from the beginning. I was a little skeptical because people around me kept saying that the Baron was the culprit, but I wasn't convinced!

What kind of nonsense is she saying?

It seemed like she was trying to get away because things were going weird, but there was no chance.

I walked silently to the small side door inside. 

There was a rule that the exclusive servants should always stand by at their owner's call behind the side door. So, there should be Ness, who temporarily served me as my exclusive maid, Jeffrey, Philen's exclusive servant, and Ellie, Cecily's exclusive maid.

"Ah."

As expected, Ellie was also there. 

I didn't say anything and just stared at her. Maybe because she felt something disturbing, Ellie ran away without looking back.

Where?!

But Ness, who was quick-witted, caught Ellie.

With the help of the other maids, Cecily's Ellie was dragged into the dining room without a hitch.

Young, Young Lady!

Ellie called Cecily anxiously, but Cecily turned away.

I took Ellie to the woman I met yesterday.

Is this the maid who gave you the jewel and bought something from you four months ago?

The woman narrowed her eyes and looked carefully at Ellie, then nodded her head bigly.

"That's right."

It, it's not me!    

Ellie shook her head violently and denied it.

I didn't do anything like that! I, I don't know anything!"

I have the transaction this woman brought to my store!

As Ellie kept denying it, the woman glared at Ellie as if she was very disgusted and shouted.

I thought the jewel might be stolen, so I took the transaction to make sure!

Transaction? It was my first time hearing it, but it was another piece of evidence for me.

I glanced at Cecily. She looked at this way with her eyes wide open as if in shock. 

Of course, she would. Because the transaction must have been written by Cecily. It couldn't have been written by Ellie, who didnt know how to write.

So, what did this maid buy?

It's a women's product that was used when the monthly period arrived! And she only bought the high-end ones!

As soon as the woman finished, a heavy silence filled the dining room.

Everyone looked at Cecily in shock.

When pregnant, women wont have the monthly period while having the baby in their wombs. Thats basic common sense that everyone here knows.

I looked at Cecily, who was trembling like an aspen, then asked.

But why did you buy the womens product that was used when the monthly period arrived? Can you tell me what you were going to use it for?

Cecily didn't say anything and bit her lip.

Of course, she cant say anything. Theres no way she can.

You, all this time, you!

Was it a fake pregnancy?

"Oh my God. Was it all a lie?

Does it mean she has been fooling us all this time?

I didn't even have to bring it up. Maids and servants all muttered, and it soon spread beyond the dining room to the outside.

BANG-!

As Philen slammed the table as if to break it, there was still silence in the dining room again.

Everyone closed their mouths and read Philen's mood.

Cecily.

It was a bleak voice that could only be heard in a cemetery on a midsummer night. There was also a bulging tendon around Philen's neck.

Cecily, who was trembling at this, shook her head violently and shouted.

"NO!"
