All Chapters of Will You Marry Me, Again?: Chapter 501 - Chapter 510

Maia remained calm and flashed Ralph a smile, “I’m merely expressing concern and trying to get to the bottom of the case. After all, your sons stole valuable possessions from my house. Never have I thought they’d start to compare and fight over the quantity and value of the antique paintings in the middle of the theft. It truly baffles me.”The shareholders were dumbfounded. All they knew was that Freddy and Nobel went to the Larkin Manor to steal valuable possessions, but they weren’t aware that the two of them fought over such matters.“Don’t get too excited, uncles. Let’s all chill out. I don’t mean any ill intentions. I just want to find out how both of you educate your sons. After all, they’re truly something different. I’d love to learn from your mistakes and avoid using the same way to raise my child.”Maia might be smiling, but her words were as sharp as the thorns on roses, concealed but deadly. It stung both Virgil and Ralph.“Stop avoiding the elephant in the room, Maia!

Maia reacted fast and flashed a smile at the shareholders. Then, she shook her head lightly and said politely, “You’re too kind, everyone. It’s my duty. We share the same goal and that’s to build up HL Corporation. The moment I gained your trust and became the CEO, I made up my mind I won’t let you guys down. And I intend to keep my word.”Cedric’s lips curled into a smile. Maia did a good job with her speech.Being the cunning men that they were, the shareholders knew she merely gave a speech for formality’s sake. They weren’t being honest with her and she helped keep up their pretense in return. She was doing them a favor.With Cedric around, the shareholders knew that they had to watch where they stepped. Ralph and Virgil were the best examples of how it’d end for those who didn’t. If he could kick his own uncles out of the conference room for her sake, then who was to say that he wouldn’t do the same to them?Watch where they step and they could hold on to their seats on the bo

“Are you calling this crappy bunny an effort?” He said disdainfully.“He made it himself. How’s that not an effort?”“I peeled shrimps. Does that count as an effort?” He was talking about the shrimp he peeled for her.She nodded. Of course, it counted.“Well, then. Why did you tell me you can’t finish them earlier?”She was speechless.Not long after, the entire company knew about Cedric leading Maia to the staff cafeteria. One of the employees was quick to spread the word. She posed as ‘the informant’ and made a post on the internet, attaching a blurry picture.The keyword, “Cedric peeling shrimps” made the trending search and overtook the top place from the search about HL Corporation!The entire internet was having intense discussions about it.“Can this picture be blurrier? Anyway, it did nothing to discount the fact that Cedric and Maia are stunning! Let’s cheer for the warring couple! Hip hip hooray!”“Is the informant still okay? Is she fired? I can’t believe she poste

“Right, I was with him the whole time.” Fernando nodded and started to recall what had happened. “I had eaten breakfast and lunch with Mr. Hans. That’s it! It must be it! It’s the box of cream puffs from Treats Galore! Mr. Hans had been asking to get him some cream puffs.“He had even threatened not to have dinner if we didn’t get him some. I had no choice but to send some men to get a box from Treats Galore.” Treats Galore was a famous confectionery store in Prismara City. They were most known for their delicious cream puffs, which were expensive. A single cream puff costs about 10 dollars and only allows customers to buy at least a box of 5. “Ms. Maia, it has got to be the cream puffs! Aside from that, I ate the same foods Mr. Hans had eaten. The only thing that I did not eat was those cream puffs!” Fernando paused and turned to Cedric.“Mr. Cedric, I’m sure that it’s Treats Galore. We must look into them and find out who poisoned the cream puffs. Mr. Hans cannot face any more

“Mom was so sad that she could not even eat. She needed to rely on the hospital’s IV drip to survive. It was my father who had stayed with her and taken care of her. That was why she had chosen to marry him.“From the day I was born, I knew she had never loved my father. She had chosen to marry him because of his power and family background. She had wanted to seek revenge.” Eddie paused and sighed.“When James passed away, I saw my mother crying in secret. I’m not sure if that was because she was relieved that she could take her revenge or because she had loved him. I didn’t realize how much she hated him until she laid her hand on you.“But who would’ve guessed you were the son she had missed dearly. As to how you’ve managed to survive, that’s something that only James or Rosa would know.” Eddie shook his head. Cedric sat on the sofa next to them as he listened to Eddie’s story. He said coldly, “How could I prove you’re telling me the truth?”“I promised you that everything I’ve
