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

“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

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

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. Everyone here is our own

“I’m going to press charges against you! I’ll make sure your restaurant is no longer in business! You’re going to pay for what you put me through today. This isn’t something that can be solved with an apology. Just wait and see!”Rita looked fierce, and her tone was fearsome too. Maia was kind of impressed with her. She was drenched through and through. She was also shivering and looked very miserable. However, she still found the time to shout at the restaurant staff. Shouldn’t she have a change of clothes before she did that?Maia felt a little helpless. So, she listened to Rita’s incessant grievance as the restaurant manager apologized to her repeatedly. Then she frowned.She hatched the plan. “I think we shouldn’t make this bigger, mother. Cedric bought this place. So, it’s technically the Larkin family’s property.”“I-If we make this thing bigger than it is, it will affect their profit. Money isn’t as big an issue as our family’s reputation.”Rita used to tell her countless
