Aiken placed the bags against the wall and then swiftly ran off. As he passed by two bodyguards, he even threw a triumphant wink at them! Once he left, Maia looked at the six or seven bags on the ground and couldn't help but laugh.

’How could this guy be so amusing?’

Cedric felt a surge of anger. The slap she gave him seemed to hurt again. Her laughter was because of another man. Could he not be furious?

Then, Cedric looked at the two bodyguards. Seeing that Maia's laughter dumbfounded them, he became even more infuriated!

"Ready for a job hunt?"

When the two bodyguards heard Cedric's words, they quickly lowered their heads. They retreated to the door outside the safe exit.

Maia watched the two bodyguards leave nervously, picked up the bags, and turned to Cedric, her lips curled.

"I want to go home. Take care of yourself, Mr. Cedric. I won't keep you company. No one will suspect you if you tell them you were worried about me and forced me to go home to rest. Three years ago, I

    "Next Wednesday," Maia answered.She never expected the fish to bite so easily. Tess was indeed in a hurry, eager to go to Osttahl with her. Wasn't this a sign of guilt?"Okay, I'll book the plane tickets and hotel.""Aunt Tess, I've already booked the plane tickets and hotel. Just buy another ticket based on my flight." Maia dared not let Tess handle these things. No one knew if she would tamper with the plane or hotel."Alright." Tess nodded.After quietly eating a few bites of breakfast, she left Prismara Hill in Tess's car. Just as they left Prismara Hill, the villa's bodyguards immediately reported to Cedric.When the car arrived at Starlight Entertainment, as soon as Maia got out, the security guard at the entrance quickly saluted her. Tess smiled and nodded at the security guard, indicating he could stop, but he still stared at Maia and didn't stop saluting."Maia, no one at Starlight Entertainment recognizes me anymore. Sigh..." Tess sighed helplessly and looked at the s

    About five minutes later, Maia broke the awkward atmosphere with a light laugh."The meeting for today concludes here. Everyone, let's get back to work. Thank you all for your hard work," said Maia, nodding towards the executives present. The executives didn't expect Maia to dismiss the meeting. They sighed with resignation, lowered their heads, and walked toward the meeting room door.Buck was kept outside the door by Tess and couldn't enter the meeting room. However, looking at the expressions of the executives, he sensed something was wrong. He quickly walked to the pantry and called Cedric.Meanwhile, Tess said, "Maia, you cannot agree to these investments. The total investment for these TV dramas is over a hundred million. How can this work?""What do you mean?" Maia was curious about Tess's current thoughts."Find TV dramas with smaller investments, of course. Invest less to increase the chances of a return!" Tess's idea was not wrong. Of course, there should be TV drama

    Tess's expression froze briefly before immediately smiling and saying, "Maia, it's not hard for me. Don't think too much. Losing your memory isn't your fault. Even if you can't recover your memory, it's okay. You aunt is here, right?"Maia found Tess's words even more amusing. She nodded, suppressing the boiling anger within, and smiled, "Thank you, Aunt Tess.""You don’t need to thank your family, silly child."Maia was well aware of how pompous and nauseating these words were. She yearned to rip Tess's mask off and reveal the malevolence lurking beneath.Maia simply nodded at Tess and didn't say another word. Her phone vibrated a few times. Checking her phone, she realized Cedric had forwarded all the emails from the entire day at Starlight Entertainment to her. Apart from emails, there were also contents of electronic files. It seemed Buck had backed up everything and sent it to Cedric, who forwarded it to her. Maia was out of Tess's sight as she examined the content of each

    Cedric's lips slightly curled up. "Revealing your true businesswoman colors?"Maia glanced at him and said, "If someone ruins your cooperation, then it's probably not as simple. We’re equal in this sense...."Both being business people, naturally, they shared the same mindset! Cedric laughed devilishly. He reached out, holding Maia, and kissed her lips."Cedric! Mm!" Maia widened her eyes, staring at the handsome face. She forcefully bit his lips, then pushed him away."Cedric, you've violated our agreement again. What do you think you're doing?""You said it, we’re equal.""What?" Maia looked at him in confusion. He chuckled lightly. "Businessman's true... colors.""You jerk!" Maia didn't mince words.He laughed indulgently, wiping away the blood on his thin lips with his fingertips."Cedric, you know that now is a critical moment. I have to be involved with you to lure Aunt Tess out of her hole. So, you act recklessly, completely ignoring that contract. But as a businessma

    “Municipal Hospital.” Errol was terrified when he heard what Cedric said. The video call was cut off before Maia could say anything.“Errol!”Cedric ordered, “Municipal Hospital. Now.”“Roger.” Gilbert started driving toward the hospital.Celia was on the hospital bed and Errol was standing in the corner. It was plain to see that he was in misery. Maia looked at him, then at Celia’s agent and assistant, who were wiping tears. Then, she took both of them out of the room.The moment the door closed, she asked them, “What happened?”Celia’s assistant wiped her tears and said, “Celia would always rest in the makeshift standby room when she’s not shooting a scene. Lately, she seems more exhausted than usual.“She’s a light sleeper, so she doesn’t like it when people disturb her sleep. Yesterday, she went to rest as usual, but she wasn’t in the standby room when I went to tell her that her scene was up. I called her immediately, but she didn’t answer.“I got worried. So, I told the f

    Errol signed, his hands trembling, “She was pregnant with my baby, sis. It was my baby!” He struck himself intensely. Maia couldn’t stop him. In fact, she was almost pulled to the ground!“I should’ve put aside my winery to be with her in the hills for a few days. I promised her that I’d accompany her and take our relationship public when the time was right, but I had to stay back in Prismara to take care of business. “She said she understood my situation, but I could tell she was actually very disappointed. I have no idea how I’m supposed to face her now. What am I supposed to say to her when she comes around?”“Errol…” Maia didn’t know where to begin to comfort him. Nobody could understand the kind of pain he was feeling right now.“Sis!” Errol signed as he wiped his tears. “Did they find the culprits?”“The police have their DNA samples. They’ll be found very soon,” Maia said, reassuring him.“Was this a random attack or a deliberate plan?”“It could be either one, but I p

    It was unseasonably warm. The night breeze was both hot and dry. Errol was sitting quietly on a bench in the hospital yard, smoking a cigarette.He reached into the case to take another cigarette when the last one burned out. However, the case was already empty. The ashtray on top of the trashcan was already full of cigarette butts.Errol pulled his hair, frustrated. Then, someone offered him a cigarette. He stood up abruptly when he saw who it was and signed, “Greetings, Cedric.” “There’s something on your mind.” Cedric stood next to him and said firmly. He knew Cedric was not well-versed in sign language, so he took out his phone and started typing. “What made you say that?”“You know the answer,” Cedric said coldly. Errol took a sharp breath and typed, “No. I’ve nothing to say.”Cedric sneered. “So much for your love for Celia.”“What about your love for Maia? You hurt her so badly in the past! You know all too well how much pain she went through!”Cedric said sharply, “

    Errol watched as Cedric left. Then, he stared at the pack of cigarettes on the bench and smiled. He had to admit that men shared an unspoken language sometimes. A pack of cigarettes would help alleviate his unease.Errol headed back to Celia’s ward once the reek of cigarettes on him had worn off. It was seven o’clock. Thanks to Maia’s soothing attitude, Celia was smiling and speaking now. He was a little surprised.“Have you eaten anything, Celia?” He smiled and signed. She nodded and said affectionately, “I have. Were you able to rest? Why do you look so worn out?” “I rested. I’m not tired at all. You’ll see. We’re going to count the stars on the moonlit sky tonight.” Celia turned and looked out the window, “I’m sure the moon is going to be brilliant and there‘s going to be a sea of stars tonight!”“Exactly.” Errol nodded. Maia smiled and rose. They were such a lovely couple. She was going to give them some privacy.She waved at Celia. “Get some rest. I’m going to leave now

    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?
