Chapter 411 I’d Give You My Life

"Where do you want to go? The driver is here," he said, naturally pulling her into his arms.Upon hearing Cedric's words, Maia suddenly laughed. "Are you going to be my driver today? How about skipping the conglomerate? What if those shareholders scold me for being a harbinger of bad luck?""They'll need guts to do that.""But if they scold me as a harbinger of bad luck, I'll accept it. After all, who wouldn't accept praise for being beautiful?" Maia said playfully, blinking mischievously.Then, Maia's expression gradually became serious. She looked at Cedric in front of her and said, "Cedric, can you guess where I want to go?""Burgess Winery." This statement was so affirmative, as if he could peer into her heart.Maia blinked in surprise. "How did you know? Cedric, do you really have the ability to peek into my inner thoughts?""How can I not know my Maia's thoughts?"Then, Cedric handed her a folded piece of paper."What's this?" Maia looked confused as she took it."It's

Chapter 412 Shall I Take Care of That?

Cedric promptly closed the window that had just been opened."It’s cold outside." His tone brooked no argument.Maia snorted softly, "I feel hot...""Shall I take care of that for you?" He raised an eyebrow, his voice husky.Those eight words carried profound meaning."No, it's not necessary. Just turn the heater down a bit." As Maia spoke, her cheeks turned even redder.Cedric chuckled softly.Burgess Winery covered a vast area and was not located in the prime real estate of Prismara City, but at the other end of Mount Xavier. On a good day, one could see the extensive vineyards from the peak of Mount Xavier.Even the security guards at the winery entrance had changed. When they saw Cedric and Maia, they respectfully nodded and saluted. Maia knew that everyone here must now be Cedric's people. Even all the employees had been replaced."Is the winter pruning done? Are the orders proceeding as usual? Is the winery the same as before?" Maia looked at the vineyards, then turned t

Chapter 413 You Failed Her

"Relying on my past experience managing the winery is sufficient. The current younger generation can't compare to us elders. The old ways are the best. Hand over the winery, and you don't need to worry about it anymore. My daughter won't pale in comparison to you."My daughter. Those two words once again stabbed Maia's heart. Did it hurt? Not anymore. She had been through so much pain by now that she was used to it."Hope won't manage the winery. She has her own dreams and ambitions. You shouldn't impose your personal will on her. It might seem good for her in your eyes, but she may not see it that way.""Maia, don't think I don't know what you're trying to do. You, like your mother, want to take everything from the Burgess family and firmly control everything in your hands. Errol is now missing, most likely dead. You want the winery's heart, it's as clear as day.""Mr. Homer, mind your words. Is the HL Corporation worth less than the Burgess Winery? If Maia really wants it, I'll h

Chapter 414 It’s Not Your Loss

She unloaded all the burdens in the harbor she felt was the safest, crying out her sorrows. At that moment, she was helpless. No matter how strong a person was, with enough pressure, the strong shell would eventually collapse.Cedric gently stroked her long hair, and his extremely gentle words echoed in her ear. "If the Burgess family doesn't want you, I do."Maia looked up, tears filling her eyes. She blinked, and the tears fell silently. But these silent tears pierced Cedric's heart with pain. For him, this was a silent weapon with great destructive power.He gently raised his hand, smiling tenderly at her, "As long as I am alive, you will never be alone."At that moment, Maia was like a traveler walking in the desert. She had walked a long way, exhausted, and only now had she encountered him. Each of his words was like the most precious water in the desert, moistening her parched soul."Let's go. Let's go home." He held her hand, leading her towards the exit of the winery.His

Chapter 415 All These Are For Her

"For fear of being kicked out by you, I had the servants move it away."Maia looked at his serious appearance and could not help but burst into laughter."Then sleep on the couch." Saying this, Maia reached out and patted the couch in the living room. "This Italian imported couch is soft and comfortable. You won't lose a wink of sleep on it."Maia casually pushed him away and walked towards the direction of the elevator. Cedric, in the corner of his eye, noticed the missed call on his phone, and did not go after Maia. He just smiled as he watched her enter the elevator.Once he had seen her go upstairs, he picked up his phone and walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window.He called Paine."Why did it take you so long to answer my call? The documents have been handed over to Baz, and he will bring them to Prismara Hill for you. Regarding the risk, you already know, but by doing this, the entire Larkin family will be in an uproar. Those old fossils from the HL Corporation will probably

Chapter 416 I'll Have a Voice Recorder

All Maia could see was darkness. It was likely she had risen rather abruptly, causing her blood pressure to drop suddenly. It was rather common. She rose slowly once she felt a little better and rubbed her sore neck. She exited the master bedroom and saw a couple of bodyguards carrying two cartons into the study. She asked, “What are those?”The bodyguards saw her and answered, “These are voice recorders, Ms. Maia.”Voice recorders? She was even more confused now. What was he doing, buying so many voice recorders? Did he need two cartons of them?The elevator door slid open slowly, and out came Cedric. “What are you doing here?” He saw that Maia looked a little tired. She asked, “Why did you buy this many voice recorders?”“I’m distributing them to the staff.”She was stunned. “Is this some kind of benefit for staff?” How often did she see companies distributing voice recorders as a part of their benefit package? Moreover, it was an expensive brand. Every single recorder w

Chapter 417 It's Your Wedding Present

“Drink it.” Cedric put down the milk before Maia. “Cedric…” She frowned. “I can’t.”“Don’t you want to find Hope?”She grunted lightly. “Of course I want to find her, but I don’t want to drink the milk either.”“There, there. Drink it.” He said that and took the milk to her. Maia watched as he gave her the milk again and hesitated. At that moment, he gave Baz a look. Baz said immediately, “I’ve tracked down Ms. Hope, Ms. Maia.”Maia asked hurriedly, “Where is she?” Baz merely looked at the milk and didn’t dare to say more. She had no choice but to submit, so she drank the milk. Cedric wouldn’t quit until after she had drunk all of it.Baz proceeded to say, “She’s at the Burgess Winery, Ms. Maia.”Maia walked out of the villa immediately. Cedric gripped her hand again and said, “I’m coming with you.” She shook her head quickly and said, “You didn’t go to your company yesterday, so you have to go today. Otherwise, the old guys won’t let you hear the end of it. Although I do

Chapter 418 Done Having Your Fit?

Homer got even madder when he saw how sad Hope was. He banged on the desk forcefully. “When are you going to wise up, Hope? What’s there to be sad about?”“How can you say that, Dad? Errol’s my brother and your son!” Hope had never thought her father could be this cold-hearted. Shaking his head helplessly, Homer said, “Errol isn’t my son. He’s in no way related to me, and he’s certainly not related to you. There’s no need for you to feel sad for him.”She was dumbstruck. All she could do was stand there and stare at Homer. He yanked Hope’s arms and said, “Wake up, Hope. Errol isn’t part of our family. For that matter, you and Maia are on very different paths. Don’t you know how much she hated me as well as your mother? What makes you think she has your best interests at heart? “Who knows what she’d do to you if you worked at her company? Listen to me and stop putting yourself in the public’s eyes. Obey me and take over the winery. I know everything there’s to it. I can show you t

Chapter 419 The Smothering Love

Homer was rooted to the spot the moment he saw Maia. “W-What are you doing here? This is the Burgess Winery. We don’t welcome you here. Get out!” Homer looked at her with fear in his eyes. He was cowering, as if Rosa herself were standing before her. What’s worse, Cedric was the one behind her. Who would have guessed Cedric, a man who was usually preoccupied with various matters, would follow her as if he were her shadow?He hurled the broom onto the ground forcefully to establish his authority. “I agreed to let you have the winery, but I didn’t agree to let you take away my employee by force. You even hit her!” Maia looked at Homer, who was staring daggers at her. She had cut off her ties with her father last night. Now, she was the CEO of Starlight Entertainment, and Hope was her company’s actress. She has a duty to seek justice for her employees. The fact that the outrageous person was her father wouldn’t change that!“She’s my daughter. How can you say that I took her awa

Chapter 420 Does Cedric Mean Much to Maia?

“What do you think you’re doing?!”Buck was six-foot-two while Homer was an old man. Naturally, it wasn’t difficult for Buck to hold him off. “Please don’t hurt my dad, Mr. Buck.” Hope said.Mr. Buck. The way she addressed him was unbearable.“Don’t worry about it, Ms. Hope.” He would do his job professionally.Hope was also distressed to hear the way he called her.“My biggest regret in life was that I gave life to you, Maia Burgess. You’ve always worked against me!” Homer shouted at her. He was directing all of his hostility toward her now.Maia stopped in her tracks. She felt all her father said, but she didn’t feel hurt. Was it because she was numbed to it? She pursed her lips. She kept her slender back straight, but her clenched fists were trembling. “What a coincidence! My biggest regret in life is having an unreasonable excuse for a father.” However, there was repressed sorrow behind that calm tone. Hope tightened her grip on Maia and said, “No, Maia… You and Dad a
