Homer was rushing over while yelling Yvette’s name. When he saw Yvette’s lifeless body, he immediately ran forward. The police stopped him. “Mr. Homer, this scene is cordoned off to the public. You’re not allowed to enter. Please cooperate with us.” “We already made plans for tomorrow. I was supposed to bring her breakfast. How would she just…!” Homer could not believe what he saw as he cradled his head and sat against the wall. “We found a will in her drawer admitting to the murder of Rosa Burgess.” “What murder? Why would my ex-wife be involved in this?“Yvette Burgess has admitted to pushing Rosa Burgess down the building, causing her death.” Homer was stunned beyond words. He kept shaking his head and denying, “That’s not possible! Yvette had no reason to do that! Rosa always had bodyguards surrounding her. Even if she

Cedric entered the driver’s seat and instructed Maia to get on. He could not let her drive them back when he was the one who brought them here in the first place. Besides, she was exhausted from everything that had happened. Maia knew arguing was pointless, so she just accepted her fate. Cedric fastened her seat belt when she was about to buckle it. The drive back to the city was quiet, as Maia thought deeply. Cedric’s last words about not wanting her to continue investigating echoed in her head. What exactly did he mean by that? Maia felt that she was missing something. Looking at the jewelry box on her lap, she could not brush off the uneasiness. When they got to the Cloud Nine Residence, Maia reminded Cedric before she got out with her jewelry box, “I’ve paid my debt. So, there’s no need for us to be seeing each other again.” Instead of giving her a clear answer, he said, “You should go.”Maia turned to leave without a word. As she entered the building, she bumped into a group

”We’ve seen the sunrise and walked through the snow, just you and me.” Cedric’s comment had already garnered a wave of discussions and likes.

Everyone, try to read between the lines!”“Here's my two cents. Mr. Cedric is trying to say that they’ve seen the sunrise and experienced the first snow of the season together. They shared first times together and were each other's firsts! How romantic!”“Just from his words alone, I can tell he loves Ms. Maia very much. But why did they get a divorce? It's such a shame! I wonde

Cedric looked at her coldly and remarked, “You should’ve thought about that when you caused her miscarriage.”Rita froze as she avoided eye contact with Cedric. Yet, she continued to make up excuses, “W-what are you talking about? It was Maia that didn’t want the child. She fell from the third floor on her own, just to cause a miscarriage.”“Shut up!” Cedric demanded loudly.Rita was surprised by his tone and turned pale. She took a few steps back and argued, “Cedric, there’s no proof of your claims. How could you just put the blame on your mother? This isn't like you! The old you wouldn’t have just trusted her word blindly over your own mother’s!”Cedric looked at her in pain.

I promised her this would never happen again!” he said coldly, before turning around and marching towards the elevator.Baz immediately followed as Rita ran up toward them. Her hair

”If I knew my life was going to be so miserable, I would’ve rather died before you gave birth to me!” Zera retorted as she grabbed Rita’s wrist.“Listen carefully! Maia must die, Cedric and the corporation should be mine as well!”“Fine, I’ll remember what you said!” Rita replied and walked out of the room. Zera just smiled at her back approvingly.Rita closed the door and instructed the housekeepers to clean up Zera’s room. The housekeepers nodded reluctantly and braced themselves to enter her bedroom.Judy rushed over with a glass of water and some medication. After she was fired by Cedric, she had returned to Rita’s side.Judy had served Rita even before she became a Larkin. “Don’t get so worked up. You should take your medicine.”Rita had been diagnosed with heart problems. The doctor had told her that it was best not to get so emotional. Rita took the glass with her trembling hands and swallowed her pills.“Mrs. Rita, you should take care of yourself! As for Ms. Zera, she
