When they arrived at Prismara Hill, Maia did not even bother getting out of the cab. She simply handed the bag of items to security and asked them to give it to Cedric. Before the security guard got a clear look at her, he spoke crudely, “Just take it home. Do you know how many women have tried to send gifts to Mr. Cedric? Yours would only end up in the trash." When the security guard got close enough to the taxi, he was surprised to see Maia inside. He immediately greeted her politely. “Ms. Maia, how can I help you?”“Pass these to Cedric.”“Got it. Ms. Maia, would you like to come in as well? Mr. Cedric had told us to welcome you whenever you’re back.” “There’s no need for that. I’ve seen enough of this place.” Maia closed her window. Then she told the driver to leave the place. The driver was momentarily stunned as he finally realized who his passenger was. He managed to recover from his petrified state the second time Maia addressed him. “Sure thing, right on it,” th

Maia did not expect Tess to approach Hope personally. She knew that things were getting complicated. “I got it. I’m coming over right now.” She instructed her secretary to adjourn her upcoming meeting and left the office in a hurry. "What are you planning, acting all weak and innocent?" Tess asked Hope as she sat down. You made Maia leave her assistant here just to look after you? I’ve underestimated you.“Tell me, is this part of your plan to make her assistant work as a mole for you instead?” Tess was crude with Hope. She did not want to waste time beating around the bush. “Let me warn you. Your mother killed my sister and took her place as the mistress of the Burgess household. We’re done playing nice. How could you have the audacity to ask Maia to help you with your contract issues?“Maia is kind enough to see you as her sister, but how could you claim to be hers when your mother has done such despicable things to us? How dare you ask such a huge favor of her?”Hope was confuse

The message read, “I’ll always be your sister.”Hope received the text in the ward. Already teary-eyed, she read it and burst into tears. Puzzled, Buck and Wesley tried in vain to console her.Hope then broke into a smile for the first time in a while. Buck and Wesley were bewildered by this.After Maia rushed back to her office, she said to Paige, “Help me get information about Hope Burgess’s contract with Nebula Entertainment and the company itself.” Paige was taken aback. “Ms. Maia, are you going to help her sort out her contract problem?” “Why do you ask?”“There’s a rumor that says that you’re going to help her. Anyway, her problem is an open secret. She was forced to sign an unfair contract that would bind her to the company for 50 years, among other unreasonable terms. Nebula sure treats their artistes like shit.” Paige shook her head, sympathizing with Hope. “I’m not trying to resolve her contract problem,” Maia said. “I’m trying to take over Nebula.” “I see. I’ll get on i

“Well, she’ll always be my wife, and I enjoy following her around.” Cedric’s reply made the crowd go wild again. “But based on what I know, Ms. Maia is very close to a famous attorney. She doesn’t even care about you, okay?” Fiona said, acting like a spoiled girl. “What matters is that I care about her.” The commotion grew so loud that it was impossible to continue record the show. Maia had the urge to leave immediately, but she knew she had to wait until the show was over. Fiona was stumped by what Cedric said. The crew didn’t dare to offend the daughter of a sponsor, but they couldn’t afford to have her upset Cedric and their boss, Maia, either. Born with a silver spoon in her mouth, Fiona could hardly take the humiliation and sobbed pitifully after they managed to persuade her to leave the stage. Someone then uploaded a video of Fiona crying online, entitled “Maia Burgess humiliated a participant for having bad teeth and problematic eyes.” It was a viral hit.As

Feeling his breath on her cheek, Maia looked away and said, “If you think you can force me into remarrying you, you can dream on. I’d rather kill myself!” When she said the last sentence, Maia met his gaze. This time, Cedric let her go. Maia then opened the door and walked out of the room without saying anything. Broadcast live, the dinner was held buffet-style in the central square. The equipment was set up, and the audience could watch what was going on from four different angles. Not long after the live broadcast started, the number of viewers exceeded five million, with countless comments. “Where’s Cedric? I want to see him, please!”“Where’s Maia? I want to see her and Cedric!” “I want to see them get back together!” The moment Maia entered the central square, all eyes were on her. Her beauty was captivating. “Ms. Maia.” A mentor named Jackie Tenny handed her a soda. “Have some iced soda. It’s perfect for this weather.” Although it was not scorching hot, they
