“Name your terms,” he said coldly. “I like how you cut to the chase! I intended to threaten Errol with this medicine initially because I didn't like him. Little did I know it would become a ‘big help’ to you, Cedric!” Cedric's eyes grew darker at that. Big help? Did she seriously claim that she was helping him?“Your terms,” Cedric repeated himself briefly, not hiding the fact that he did not want to waste more time with her. “My terms are simple. The Fox family has a longer history than the Larkins. It has stood for a thousand years and it’ll be here for many millennia to come. As the matriarch of the family, I’d like to formally invite you to a dinner party. What say you, Cedric?”Lauren paused for a few seconds before continuing with a smile, “Take your time, Cedric. I’ll give you seven days to think about it. As far as I know, Maia could afford to wait for another seven days. “Take your time and ponder on my offer. After all, it’s quite momentous should you decide to atte

He lost his memories in the past. He had always chosen to trust in his own mother. He believed her when she said Maia was a scheming gold digger. Rita fed him stories that his first time with Maia at the hotel was a setup. Their marriage was also a setup. Maia was the reason for every bit of unhappiness in his life.He ate it all up and clung to it, using it as a reason to distance himself from her and take her for granted. However, the truth was, he had concerns about her. To put it plainly, he did not want to care about her because he had feelings for her.That was why he felt as if his heart had been torn apart the night he recovered his memories. Now, however, he was extremely content just to have her in his arms. He might have had only seven days with her but it was better than anything in the world.Maia’s eyes were filled with shock. She was dazed by what he had just said. “W-What did you say…?” she asked, sweetly and incredulously. He smiled in response and planted a kis

Maia watched as Cedric ate his food calmly. She barely stammered out the words. “I-I already used those.” “Mmm. That explains why the food is so tasty today.”He. Is. Just. So. Shameless!Cedric finished eating quickly. In fact, he felt relaxed when Maia finished the chicken soup. At least, she took the medicine when she drank the soup. Then, he asked the servants to take away the food.Maia lowered her head and checked her Twitter. She had asked the public relations department to give Aiken the freedom to do anything he wished. He should have made an announcement by now, so why was there nothing about it on Twitter? She felt that something was amiss.“What’s on your mind?” Cedric asked. “Word got out about Aiken and Victoria. My company’s public relations department wouldn’t let him reveal it, but I asked them to follow his idea and work with him. The Aiken I know would’ve announced it in a flash. So, why isn’t he saying anything now?” Aiken tended to act rashly in his private

Yuna wanted to leave a good impression, so she quickly rushed toward Victoria and tried restraining her. Without a second thought, Maia stepped forward and grabbed Yuna’s forearm. Maia had not forgotten that Yuna had once hurt Victoria badly. How could she allow that to happen again?“Which bitch is restraining me?!" Yuna yelled and turned her head toward Maia. However, before she could react, Maia slapped her across the face. The room fell into utter silence. Maia said, “You should be careful with your words. You never know who you’re talking to!”Yuna did not expect to see Maia here at all. Victoria was excited and said, “Maia, you’re here! Come help me out with this!” Victoria was referring to the expensive items in the room. Maia felt a throbbing sensation in her head just seeing Victoria’s actions.Instead of helping her, Maia turned toward Mrs. Smith. “I apologize for slapping your daughter-in-law. However, what she said was quite vile, and I couldn’t help myself. Si

Maia had already known that Victoria was impulsive, but she did not expect her to be so foolish. How could she just barge into the Smith’s residence and break their priceless antiques? Victoria might have done this to vent her anger. However, this would only do more harm than good to herself. Victoria had also realized that her actions were reckless. “I-I just couldn’t stand by and watch them hurt Aiken.” “And you think that they wouldn’t hurt him after you’ve wrecked their house?” The answer to Maia’s question was obvious. The stunt Victoria pulled today was just an act to vent her anger. This would most likely set off the Smiths, causing them to continually cause problems for Aiken. Victoria bit her lips nervously as she explained, “I was just too angry. Maia. Do you know how worried I was when I saw the news? I had prayed that it was just fake, but when his assistant picked up the call instead of him, I almost lost it. “When I found out that his accident had happened in
