Maia looked at Oswald with a mixture of fear and anxiety as she did not know how to break it to him. Should she tell him that something was wrong with the food?

Suddenly, someone shouted, “Mr. Oswald! Mr. Oswald!”

“What’s wrong?”

“My wife must have eaten something bda. I need to take her to the hospital!”

“Sure, be careful on your way there.”

Right after Oswald send him away, another housekeeper came running to him.

“Mr. Oswald, my sister is throwing up too!”

“Mr. Oswald, the other housekeepers are sick too!”

Oswald looked around in shock, “What’s going on? Why is everyone throwing up?”

“We’re not sure. We all had the same thing for dinner, but why are we fine?” One of the housekeepers explained with confusion on her face.

“Me too. I feel fine.” Oswald shook his head. Suddenly, it dawned on him that something was wrong. He looked at Maia who was standing in the kitchen. “Ms. Maia, could it be that...?”

Maia knew what Oswald was about to say when she interrupted him, “I t

    The moment the window was ajar, she jumped out. Right at that second, the door to the game room opened as well. The shadowy figure lifted his hunting gun and pointed it at his prey. Maia did not know what was happening behind her as she dashed as fast as she could without looking back. There was nothing she could do aside from run for her life!The rain continued to pour and water splashed onto her as she ran. Maia’s eyes were red, and her legs were threatening to give way as she could feel her adrenaline pumping from the fear. Seconds later, the man fired a shot as Maia tripped and fell to the ground. The bullet missed her by an inch, hitting a tree trunk and falling to the ground with a clink sound. Maia pushed herself up as she knew that the man would try to fire another time. She had to keep moving. She needed to get out of firing range! Maia trembled in fear as tears and rain streamed down her face. She ran as far as she could. At that moment, 3 minutes seemed like an ete

    “T-turn around!” Maia demanded.Cedric smiled as he gently moved his hand that was on Maia’s waist.Maia was ticklish so she could not help but laugh lightly as she pushed him with one of her hands and grabbed his hand with the other.“Cedric, you’re breaking the rules!”“It wasn’t written that I can’t be in the bathroom with my wife.” Before Maia could protest, Cedric dimmed the lights in the bathroom and stepped into the bathtub, “Nor take a bath with her.” Maia was taken aback for a few seconds before retreating to a corner. She had thought that Cedric would play by the rules. “You’re so shameless!” She shouted at him as she tried to grab a towel to wrap around her body. Unfortunately, Cedric stopped her midway as he snatched the bath towel out of her reach. He smiled, then moved to trap her between himself and the bathtub. He whispered into her ear in a low husky voice, “What do you think a man would do at a time like this?”“Cedric, I’m warning you. If you dare lay a

    “So, you chose to trust her and carry out her orders?” Maia asked incredulously. “You don’t even know who she was, yet you still chose to raise your gun at me? Oswald, how foolish could you be?”“I had no other choice. I had to give it a try even if the odds were against me. As long as my grandson is saved, I would even kill myself to atone for the sins I’ve committed.” Oswald’s voice trembled with guilt. Cedric just eyed him coldly and spat at him. “How stupid!” “Mr. Cedric, this was all my doing. Please don’t hurt my family. They know nothing about this. They’re still trying to figure out ways to save my grandson. Please, don’t harm them.” Baz could no longer contain his anger as he reprimanded Oswald, “How foolish could you be! You could’ve asked Mr. Cedric for help instead! Instead, you choose to believe some woman who you’ve never even met?” “That woman on the phone even gave me 3 million dollars just to persuade me. She told me that my grandson would be promised a privil

    He smiled sadly as he released her. “Then, let’s start over, as if that teacup didn’t exist.” “That’s easier said than done, especially to the ones that were hurt in the process. Just as the saying goes, once bitten, twice shy. I’m not sure what my future holds, but I would prefer it if you weren’t part of it.” Maia smiled. Her broken heart had taken ages to mend itself. How could she possibly forget all the hurt he had caused her so easily?“Cedric, we’ve had a long day. Let’s all go to bed now.” Maia said as she turned and left the game room without waiting for his response. Cedric looked at her slender back with a pained expression. His eyes could not contain the loneliness he felt as his heart quivered in pain. He tousled his hair in rage and punched the surface of the billiard table. He knew that he had brought this upon himself.After about 5 minutes, Cedric came out of the game room and entered the kitchen. When Baz saw him sitting at the kitchen counter, he rushed forwa

    She looked at Maia still sleeping in bed, and felt annoyed. Rita tugged at the blanket, and exclaimed, "It's already late morning. Why are you still sleeping?"Maia was confused for a few seconds. What did it matter if she slept until late in the morning? She ignored Rita, covered herself with the blanket, and continued sleeping.Seeing Maia had no intention of getting up, Rita continued, "With this attitude, how can you be a good wife to Cedric? We agreed to have lunch together at the new restaurant. Why didn't you keep the appointment?"Be a good wife to Cedric? Who said she wanted that position?"Let her sleep."Suddenly, a deep voice came from the doorway. Rita quickly turned to look at the entrance."Cedric, it’s almost 10 a.m. and you haven't gone to work yet?" Rita immediately put on a smile upon seeing Cedric. "I had an appointment with Maia, but she hasn't gotten up yet. “The restaurant is booked for 11. Being late means losing the reservation. Oh, why is this girl so

    How was Maia supposed to answer? Should she tell Rita that she was almost killed last night? Even though it was highly likely that Rita didn't poison the chicken soup, her cruelty was no different.After much thought, Maia came up with the most embarrassing yet adequate excuse. It could make Rita speechless and embarrassed."It's all because of last night... It's all my husband's fault. He went to work today full of energy while I suffered... and made you wait for me for so long. I feel really guilty, Mom, please don't be mad at me?"Maia's voice was soft and tender."No worries. You and Cedric are a loving couple. As a mother, I'm just happy. It's my fault for being inconsiderate and disturbing you in the morning."Seeing Rita's hypocritical appearance, Maia felt disgusted. Although she hadn't eaten breakfast, she had the urge to vomit now."Mom, it's my fault..."Since the enemy was hypocritical, she needed to be a million times more hypocritical. The play had to be executed f

    Maia didn't go to the restroom but quietly went downstairs. Upon reaching the lower floor, she headed directly to the front desk. Looking at several hotel staff working diligently, she instructed, "Bring two glasses of peach rose wine upstairs.""Yes." The staff nodded, immediately beginning the preparation.Observing the staff uncorking the bottles, she noticed that the peach rose wine was produced by the Burgess Winery. Seeing her family winery's wine, she couldn't help but smile. She didn't expect Errol to expand the winery business so much, with their wines making their way into various high-end restaurants.Then she looked towards a few robust staff members standing on the side. She approached them and whispered, "Did Cedric ask you to protect me?"As soon as she spoke, they simultaneously called her "Miss Maia.” She made a quick "shh" gesture, then attentively gazed upstairs, worried about catching Rita's attention."Miss Maia, please rest assured.

    “Help! I'm in the restroom! Is anyone there? Waiters!”No matter how loud Rita shouted, there was no response. The next moment, a "click" sound echoed, and the entire restroom plunged into darkness. It was pitch-black with no trace of light.Rita was startled. She began pounding on the door, desperately calling for the waiters. Suddenly, several sprinklers in the restroom turned on, spraying water down. Water poured down relentlessly, flooding the entire restroom. "Ah, waiter! Waiters! There's water everywhere here!""Waiters! Can you hear me? There's someone in the restroom!"The water fell densely and rapidly, resembling a torrential downpour. Rita couldn't evade it at all. In no time, she was soaked like a drowned rat. The sound of falling water became terrifying in this enclosed and dark space. She felt desperate, continuously pounding on the door, hoping someone would notice her inside.As she relentlessly pounded the door, her palms turning bright red, suddenly, intermit

    Amanda came to sit next to Maia as she said, “I’m glad you’ve noticed this as well. Lauren is usually quite into the drama that she’s watching on TV. Today’s episode was a sad one, so I was wondering why she was still so happy watching it.” Lauren smiled back at them and replied, “I’m just really happy. I’ve never thought that I’d be able to see my eldest son again and that he has such a kind and beautiful wife by his side. “Eddie was also able to find his loved one, and I was lucky enough to be a grandmother. I never thought that I’d be able to go on a family trip with all my sons.” She started to tear up.“Lauren, don’t cry,” Maia said as she handed Lauren a handkerchief to dry her tears. Lauren wiped her tears as she smiled and nodded. “Don’t worry about me. I’m just being dramatic.” She looked around and asked, “Where’s Cedric? Is he with Eddie?”Maia nodded. “Yeah. This new project is a bit of a hassle, so he went over to try to help.” Lauren sighed, “Eddie’s father an

    Cedric just smiled when he saw Maia’s worried reaction. “You sure you’ll keep your promise?” Maia tugged the blanket closer to herself and nodded. Maia would not dare to say no. If Cedric decided to do as he had said, she would just end up in bed the whole morning. “We can register our marriage anytime. You mean it?” She knew that Cedric was just baiting her, but she had no choice. She did not know what he would do next. When she glanced at his handsome face, her heart could not help but skip a beat. Just then, Cedric took out two pieces of paper from the bedside drawer. Maia was taken aback as she saw the document. They were marriage registration forms, and they were already filled in. “T-This was a setup! You’ve already had this all planned out from the beginning!” Maia scanned through the forms and was surprised to see that the only section left empty was the signature. Maia did not know when Cedric had started to prepare all this, but it looked like it had been a whil

    Cedric glanced at Baz and asked, “How does it feel to miss someone so much?”Baz’s smile froze as he shook his head quickly. “Now, I can finally understand why you hate being separated from Ms. Maia.”Cedric just looked at Baz coldly. Baz quickly added when he noticed Cedric’s glare, “I’m just saying that you love your wife very much, and that man who’s like you would definitely understand.”“That’s a fact,” Cedric replied as he turned around and walked back into the bedroom. Baz immediately stopped him as he asked. “Mr. Cedric, why don’t you tell Ms. Maia the real reason why you’re so against calling Ms. Lauren your mother? Why didn’t you tell her the scars on your back were inflicted by Ms. Rita?” It was a horrible and unimaginable part of his childhood. “I don’t want to frighten her.”“But it’s difficult for you as well, Mr. Cedric. Calling Ms. Lauren your mother brings back horrible memories for you too.” “It doesn’t matter. I’ll do anything for her.” Cedric replied as he

    “Is that true?” Gigi asked her grandmother.Lauren nodded and said, “Of course it is. Has grandma ever lied to you?”“Wow! Grandma, what was Daddy like when he was a kid?” Gigi was excited. She was not sleepy anymore as she pestered Lauren to tell her more. “Whenever I brought him to attend events, he would always cry. I still remember he had wet his pants once in kindergarten.” Gigi covered her mouth and giggled happily. Amanda laughed and looked at Eddie. “Did you really wet your pants?”Eddie palmed his forehead and told his mother, “Stop embarrassing me in front of my daughter, Mom.” Lauren just smiled happily back at her son. At the same time, Maia tugged on the hem of Cedric’s shirt and questioned cheekily, “Did you wet your pants when you were a kid?” Cedric drew her into his arms in response and threatened, “Maia, it seems like you won’t be able to go to bed tonight.” “I’m not afraid of your empty threats,” Maia replied. “Are you sure about that?”Maia nod

    It was hard to believe he’d change his mind out of nowhere. She blinked and gawked at him. She almost forgot to breathe because of the sheer shock. Her face turned red from it, too. “Hey, breathe.” Cedric frowned. He realized her eyes were widening and her cheeks were completely reddened. Then, her lungs worked, and she started drawing breath again. She gripped the hem of his shirt instinctively. “Hmm?” Cocking his brow, he looked at her casually while taking her hands in his. “Do you want to know why I changed my mind?”She nodded immediately. Needless to say, she wanted to spring that question on him, but she wondered if she should. On the other hand, he merely chuckled and didn’t say anything. All he did was fix a deep, passionate stare at her. His eyes were filled with love and affection when he did it. Realizing that he wasn’t going to talk, she was bewildered. “W-Why aren’t you saying anything?”His grin widened at what she said. Reaching out, he pinched her fair ch

    Taking his hands, she rested her fair cheeks on his palm.“Is there another reason you did it?” She asked. “I had someone plant something in the painting.”“What do you mean?” She pressed.“A wire.”Then, it hit her. “D-Does this mean you knew Fidelia would buy the painting at all costs?”“Mm-hmm.” He nodded.Pursing her lips, she said, “I guess it tracks. After all, Fidelia will surely buy anything you donate to Nordic College. She loves you so much that she peeled an entire bowl of prawns for you.”“Do peeling prawns mean she loves me?” He cocked his brow.She nodded instinctively.“Well, then. Do you know how much I love you now?”Maia was initially pondering something, but she was scattered the moment she heard what he said!Her face turned red. She couldn’t decide if she should nod or shake her head now. The only thing she could do now was change the topic. “Wait a minute. I just asked Gigi to bid on it. Did I almost mess up your plan?” Her brows were furrowed. She

    “Maia!” Amanda called out to her and hastened over. “D-Did you just say I was already on trending search?”“Mm-hmm.” Nodding, she handed her phone to Amanda. Amanda saw the search topic ‘Amanda Tate Burst Out Laughing.’ and was rooted to the spot.“H-How’s this already up there?”Maia chuckled. “There are so many people in the dining hall. There’s no way you can keep it from spreading on the internet for long. Even Gigi and Eddie got on the trending search. They were right behind you. “Valentines Group has also started working on the public relations angle. I browsed the internet and didn’t find any overly vicious remarks either. None of the marketing accounts were trying to stir up trouble either. All of Gigi’s pictures were censored as well. So, there’s nothing to be worried about here.”Amanda let out a sigh of relief at what she said. “It’s a good thing that no one attacked Gigi on the internet. Otherwise, I’m going to start chasing them with a machete that’s one foot long!

    “Why, you!” Fidelia took the glass of fruit juice from the table and spilled it all over him!The sticky juices clung to his cheeks for a second before rolling down them.“Listen up, plastic face! It doesn’t matter if I can’t lay a finger on Maia because Cedric loves and protects her. It isn’t your place to make fun of me! Who do you think you are, Neilson? “You’re nothing more than my family’s lap dog. Look at how stiff your face is. You’ve wasted a perfectly good glass of fruit juice!”Staring at him angrily, Fidelia warned him nastily. She was so gripped with rage that her chest was rising and falling hastily. Then, she gritted her teeth and threw the empty glass at him.Catching the glass midair, he lowered his head. “You make a fine point, Ms. Fidelia.” Wiping the fruit juice from his cheeks, he apologized again. “Please calm down, Ms. Fidelia. You have to look at where we are now. It’d be wise not to make Mr. Thomas mad again.”“Are you seriously warning me again? Who do

    Maia made up a reason so Amanda could take Gigi away. Amanda nodded, carried her daughter, and left the scene. All Gigi did was speak the truth, but Fidelia’s face grew grim and shot the three-year-old girl a terrible look. It was clear that Fidelia might do something outrageous to Gigi again if she didn’t divert her attention from the little girl. After all, Fidelia didn’t care about the consequences of her actions at all!So, she looked at Fidelia and said, “I’m not sure why you kept trying to win my husband’s heart, but I’ve been sitting here the whole time. Are you ignoring me on purpose? Or, are you so arrogant that you care only about Cedric and nobody else?”Fidelia immediately shifted her gaze to Maia. Glaring at her, she directed all of her anger and frustration at Maia. “What are you trying to say, Maia? My dad saved Cedric’s life. So, is there anything wrong with me peeling the shrimp for him?
