Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 240 Birds of A Feather
The playboys breathed a sigh of relief. However, the next sentence made their expressions change drastically. “But the convertible ride isn't free. You can only experience the charm of a convertible when you're stripped bare!"The playboys stood there, each one unable to utter a word in shock. They had thought she genuinely intended to let them off and arrange transportation to the hospital. Little did they know, she planned to strip them bare, using their own methods against them!"Ms. Maia, the one who just said he'd strip you naked... i-it's this guy! No, it wasn't us!" One of the playboys explained tearfully, pleading with Maia, "W-We were only dining with him due to the influence of the Brad family. Ms. Maia, please forgive us, we're just small fry. If you want justice, deal with this guy!""Yes, yes, Ms. Maia, spare us!""Ms. Maia, please have mercy. we won't dare to do it again!"The others also began begging for mercy. Maia looked at them pleading, contrasting their curr

“Just doing my duty.” That was all Cedric said. Everyone knew just how much meaning those four words carried.Then, Elena covered her mouth and pointed at Maia’s feet.“There’s blood on Maia’s feet!”Cedric grabbed Maia’s arm, looked at her feet, and frowned. There certainly was blood tracing down her feet.“It’s okay. I must’ve been cut by the pieces of glass when the bottle shattered,” Maia said casually. She tried hard to break free, but he held on to her firmly. “Please carry on, everyone. I’m going to take care of her.” Cedric put his suit jacket around her legs and swept her off her feet in front of everyone.“Cedric!” She hissed. “I’m taking you to the hospital,” he said firmly. He cared more about her injury than she did. Maia was a little pissed off, but she could not raise her voice in public. “Put me down. It’s just a scratch. I can take care of it myself!”“What if it leaves a scar? Don’t you hate those?” He asked.Maia was startled. She was surprised that he r

It was a brief text, but Maia felt tears in her eyes after she read it. She had longed for him to care about her this way in the past. The fact that he had shown up whenever she needed him was something she had not even dared to dream of.However, all of his actions today were pure irony to what happened in the past. She dared not go to the balcony because she was worried that she would be found out like what happened last time. She was not sure if he had left. Did he leave? Was he still standing down there?Some time had passed when her phone rang suddenly. Maia snapped out of her thoughts and looked at her phone. She was both disappointed and relieved that it was not Cedric.Buck was on the other end when she answered the call. “I investigated Victor according to the lead Hope gave us. Aside from some erotic pictures, I came up empty-handed. “I had to work another angle. I looked into the female celebrities who had fallen victim to him. My findings confirm that Victor used to

Barney called out to her, “Is it true that my father’s company is collaborating with your company, Ms. Maia? He talks about you all the time. I’m sure we’ll run into each other again at The Horizon Awards next month. Please say a good word or two about me to my father.”Maia glanced at the man before her. She thought he was tough at first. Little did she know that he was just another boy desperate for his father’s validation.“I’ll pretend I didn’t see anything tonight as long as you treat the ladies nicely, Barney. I was never here and we never met.”He nodded and thanked her. “Splendid, Ms. Maia. I like how you cut to the chase.” Then, Maia went further in to look for Penelope. He stared at her as she left. The smile on his face had all but vanished.“I would’ve taught you a lesson in the private room if it weren’t for the collaboration.” He wiped the wine from his face. “How dare you pour wine on me, bitch?”…Buck followed Maia and asked, “Do you truly believe he’ll treat

“Um…” Penelope lowered her head. Then, she looked into her daughter’s room and saw Jasmine playing with a doll that had been stitched back several times. Her eyes reddened and silence draped over the entire place. Maia said nothing. Instead, she followed Penelope’s gaze.“Your daughter is everything to you,” Maia said confidently. Penelope nodded, “That’s right. I wouldn’t have been able to keep going if it wasn’t for her.”“Do you want to give her a better life?” Maia said. Penelope stared at her, unnerved. “Are you offering me a helping hand?” There was longing in her eyes.Maia nodded, “You were the leader of Victorious Secret. You were both the lead singer and dancer. You’re experienced. I can put you back on stage if that’s what you want. Otherwise, you can work as a mentor in my company. “Your salary will be more than what you earn selling alcohol and you’ll have a fixed working schedule. Both you and your daughter can stay in our dormitory. It’ll be safer than this pl

“Ms. Maia.” Penelope looked at her and went down on her knees. Maia was shocked and moved to help her up.“What do you think you’re doing? Get up now.”Penelope shook her head and said, “I’ll always be grateful to you for giving me a job and a safe place to stay, but I have to beg you for a favor. “Please. Please tear Victor down and make sure he can’t come back from it! I know I’m powerless and this is all I can do, but you have what it takes to make it happen. Ms. Maia!”Maia helped her up. She had not expected Penelope to be this passionate. “I give you my word. I’ll make sure he can’t come back from this. Everyone will despise him. He’ll pay dearly for everything he’s done!”Penelope wiped tears from her face and nodded repeatedly. The battered door swung open as Buck came in. “The food is here, Ms. Maia.” Penelope opened the door swiftly. Buck was standing outside with bagels and pizzas in his hands, smiling. Maia shouted, “Jasmine. Your bagels are here.”Jasmine was pl

Buck was shocked to see the bag Maia handed to him. “I didn’t know they had collected all the proof they could behind his back. I thought Victor had made sure not to leave any traces behind! With this evidence, it would be much easier for us!” “Make sure that The Horizon Awards proceed as planned. I want this evidence to be exposed in front of all those famous personnel from the entertainment industry.” “Don’t worry, leave them to me!” Buck promised. Maia nodded and got in the car. As she was inside, she could not help but glance toward the other direction that led to the parking lot. Was he still there?Buck was parked next to her. By the time he started pulling out, Maia’s car was still parked. He drove over and gave her a honk. He lowered his window and yelled at her, “Ms. Maia, are you alright?” When Maia heard him, she collected herself and drove out of the parking lot. Whether Cedric was still there or not had nothing to do with her. By the time she was driving on

Buck glanced at Maia after he finished and added playfully, “Do you want Mr. Cedric to be there? If you do, he’s just one phone call away. No wait, just a text is enough! I’m sure he’ll appear if you text him!” Maia noticed that the lights were green, so she said, “You should go back to driving and shut up.” Buck remained silent throughout the drive to the venue. They were already broadcasting the show live when Maia got there. She hurried to her seat and noticed that there was an empty seat beside her. He was not there.Seconds later, The Quest main theme song played, and Aiken appeared on the stage. He gave the audience a charming smile when the spotlights shone on him. Maia was distracted through half of the show until a staff member jolted her back to reality by informing her that Aiken had invited her on stage.Maia quickly composed herself and gracefully strolled on stage. “Let us welcome Starlight Entertainment’s CEO, Ms. Maia Burgess!” A round of applause erupted as s

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
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 693 Don’t Make Me Wait Too Long
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
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 692 Baz Is a Coward
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
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 690 It’s a Son’s Duty
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
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 688 What About This?
“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!
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 687 The Airhead
“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
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 686 Be a Woman for Three Minutes
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? What’s the problem if I try to win his heart? What does it have to do with
