Who would’ve thought that Aunt Tess was the one who had paid an exorbitant amount of money for someone to kill her? Such a twist would have been deemed too preposterous even for television!Reality was too cruel.Now, there was one less person who cared about her. For that matter, there was one less person for her to care about as well. Not that she even had have that many to begin with…“Who said you were only worth a billion dollars?” Cedric wasn’t pleased with what he heard.Maia smiled. “Well, how much do you think I’m worth, Cedric?”“You’re priceless,” Cedric said decisively. It was what he genuinely thought. Maia was startled. Something stirred in her heart when she saw the way he looked at her. She pulled her eyes away. She didn’t want to continue this vein of conversation, much less meet his affectionate gaze. She said, “The charity event is in less than thirteen hours. I’m a little tired. I’ll be going back to my room to rest.”“You can do that here.”“That’s not

“Where do you think you’re going? You should’ve known this day would come the moment you killed my mother, Aunt Tess!” Maia’s voice was still tender, but she uttered each word with venom.“Y-You knew all along…” Tess knew that she had lost Maia’s trust completely. Her escape from the venue sent a very clear message. “Why?!” Maia couldn’t figure it out. Her clutch over Tess’s collar tightened. “Tell me. Why?! Why did you kill my mother? She was your sister too! Your own sister!”“Why, you ask?” Tess laughed out of nowhere, “She deserved it! Your mother deserved to die, Maia. Rosa had it coming!”Maia slapped Tess across her face.“You’re insane!” Tess looked pathetic. She fell onto the ground and burst into laughter.“You’ve got that right. Rosa made me insane! Do you know what the Starlight Entertainment building used to be in Prismara? It was the Wilson Group. And do you know who the CEO was? It was Harry Wilson! He was the love of my life! “I begged your mother to give him a hand

Tess closed her eyes as all signs of life left her body. Maia’s eyes began to sting. The blowing wind dried the tears on her cheeks. She stood there motionless until somebody put a suit jacket on her.Time passed. Maia was so exhausted. Her grip on the pistol loosened and it fell onto the ground. She turned around and walked toward the car.Cedric was right behind her. Just as she was about to open the car door, he swept her up and placed her in the passenger’s seat. He buckled her in, closed the door, and drove off into the night..Maia did not know how she got back to the hotel, much less how she got back to a room. All she knew was that this was not her room. It was the Osttahl Hotel’s presidential suite on the top floor. She sat by the window and gazed blankly at the city. It looked so peaceful. How many of its inhabitants were aware of the wickedness lurking in the dark? Cedric frowned when he saw the state she was in. He held her in his embrace and said sternly, “Go ahead

The moment the tweet was posted, the netizens' accusations took a turn for the better! Cedric had personally responded to the scandal, who else would dare say otherwise?Moreover, Starlight Entertainment had released an official statement stating that they would be suing the three artists for defamation and terminating their contracts immediately!Maia eyed Cedric suspiciously. She could not really tell if he was trying to help her or make matters worse. Even though it looked like he had cleared all accusations of her sleeping with those male artists, he also exposed the fact that they were together for three days. “Wait a minute! Does that mean that Ms. Maia was with Mr. Cedric all along? So, those artists were just trying to frame her! How could Starlight Entertainment keep such horrible artists?”“To think those artists would even go so far as to defame their own boss. What were they thinking?” “Does this mean that they’re getting back together? I’m all for the warring couple

The moment Aiken stepped into the building, he encountered Nigel head on. Nigel had a pile of documents in his hands and he looked worn out. Aiken took off his sunglasses and marched toward him, blocking Nigel’s pathway. Nigel raised his head and looked at Aiken, “How can I help you, Mr. Cantrell?”“How did you know I had something to ask of you?”“You wouldn’t be blocking my way otherwise.”Aiken grinned at Nigel, “You’re right, I wouldn’t. You look exhausted. Didn’t sleep well last night?” “Is this why you’re blocking my path? If you have nothing more to say, I’ll take my leave. If you have any court cases you would like us to take up, feel free to look for me at our law firm.” Nigel sidestepped Aiken to leave. However, Aiken continued to block Nigel’s path as he said, “If it’s about Maia, would you be interested?” Nigel met Aiken’s eyes as he asked, “Where should we talk about this?”“There’s a cafe nearby, how about that?”“Sure,” Nigel replied, and they made their w
