Will You Marry Me, Again

Chapter 123 She Is a Big Shot “You're here at last, Cedric! Would you listen to what she’s saying?” Rita started whining.

“| merely suspected that she’s behind Zera’s murder, but look at how unapologetic she is. Does she think she’s some big shot just because she’s the CEO of Starlight Entertainment?” Cedric grinned and said, “She is a big shot. What about you?”

Rita was startled. “I’ve got you, Cedric. You’re my son! What need do | have for a company?”

All of the staff lowered their heads and started grinning. Even the participants who were rushing to the shoot stopped in their tracks.

After all, no one expected the famous man to have a mother who could not take a hint!

Baz realized more people were gathered around them. So, he moved to clear them away. Rita started bawling after the crowd dispersed.

She whined, “I saw Zera, Cedric. I-It was horrible. She is part of our family. Her fate is tragic, but the perpetrator is free. “I'm heartbroken! Maia came out of her kidnapping in one piece. My baby, on the other hand, died in that warehouse!”

Rita wiped her tears and kept going, “Why is it that Maia could pull through every single crisis? Why isn’t my baby waking up again? Why can’t | ever hear her call me ‘Mom’ again?

“It's perfectly sensible for me to say that Maia was the mastermind. She secretly did a lot of bad things to Zera after all! She’s a suspect! She is!”

Cedric wasn’t amused. “Is that all?”

“Do you need more proof? She’s the reason Zera could not work in the entertainment industry, had a nervous breakdown, and spent her days as a mindless husk. It’s all thanks to this woman right here! That’s why | said she’s a suspect!”

Rita sobbed uncontrollably. She made it sound as if it really happened that way, and she was there to witness it. If Maia had not kept her cool, she would have believed Rita and assumed she was the murderer.

“If what you said is true, then I’m the bigger suspect.” Rita was stunned. “H—Huh?” “| destroyed her reputation.” After all, Cedric gave the order to release the videos.

Aside from the fact that she undermined and took resources away from other celebrities, there’s another important reason why she could no longer stay in the industry. And that was

Maia was not aware of it, but Cedric was aware that Zera had been slutting around overseas during Maia’s absence. So, it was easy as pie to pull up these videos.

He took Maia’s hand in his and led her away without another word. They had not gone far when he noticed her high heels. “Don't you have a flat shoe?”

“| don't.” Maia shook off his hand and said it coldly.

He was a little dissatisfied and asked, “Why are you wearing high heels when your knee’s hurt?”

“My feet are fine!”

“Aren't you limping?”

“That doesn’t concern you. Don’t you think you're overstepping, Cedric?”

“Who would take care of you if | didn’t?” He proceeded to carry her again.

“Let me go, Cedric!” Maia fought hard to break free, but she scraped the wound on her knee. She frowned out of pain, but she glared at him nonetheless.

“My jacket, Baz.”

“Right away.”

Baz was lugging three suitcases. He nodded and handed the jacket to Cedric, who used it to cover Maia’s legs. It also covered her skirt and saved her from embarrassing moments.

Maia was infuriated. “It doesn’t concern you. Let me down!”

“Say it again, | dare you!”

“| said it doesn’t concern you! Let me down now! It’s none of your business! I’m none of your ... Mmph...”

Cedric was upset, so he covered her lips with his. However, he let go of her swiftly. Maia had bitten him again. Much harder, too.

“When did you get an upgrade?”

“What the hell are you talking about?” Maia was puzzled. Her eyes are full of fury.

“You upgraded yourself from a cat to a tiger.”

“I'm going to teach you a lesson if you keep this up!”

Maia sounded intimidating, but there's a big difference between a man’s and a woman’s strength. Furthermore, Baz was there and he would surely help Cedric. She was at a complete disadvantage.

Cedric said calmly, “Sure. Go ahead.” She could teach him a lesson anytime she wanted. “Do you have to be this shameless?”

“| thought you were already aware of it?” He didn’t think it was shameful for him to win her heart. Instead, he felt proud of himself.

“Can you please stop bothering me, Cedric?”

She had tried to keep her distance from him, but he had always closed the gap rather quickly whenever she had some measure of success. Who exactly were they to each other? The others were already spinning wild tales about them.

Cedric looked at her firmly and answered her without much thought, “That's a no.” Then he carried her away.

Rita cried loudly, “I’m your mom, Cedric. How could you treat me this way?! Are you going to turn your back on your family for that bitch? Huh? Your reputation will be ruined if you keep treating me this way!”

It fell on deaf ears. They didn’t know that Rita had secretly arranged for someone to capture this moment.

The video was edited and uploaded to the internet several hours later. It was the most trending topic in just a few seconds. The netizens were busy discussing about it.

“When did this happen? How was Zera murdered?”

“Ms. Rita cried hysterically in the video. She must've been heartbroken! Although she adopted Zera, but she raised her since she was very young. Zera’s like a daughter to her.”
