Chapter 132 Glass Shards in the Sweets Rita looked at Polly, exclaiming, “What did you say? Baz retaliated against Josephine, and she was throwing eggs?” Polly nodded, truthfully recounting the events at the fashion show to Rita.
“Yes, we arranged for audience members to cooperate with Josephine to stir the public. They said she rushed onto the stage and threw eggs at Maia, and then Mr. Cedric arrived.
“Not only did he publicly prove that Maia was innocent, but he also defended her in front of everyone! Now, the videos are all over the internet, and based on the footage, everything they said is true. Mr. Cedric is still holding Ms. Taylor, and we don’t know the exact situation...”
“What a dumb thing! How could we have such a stupid relative in the Larkin family?” Rita said, “I told her to go after Maia, get everyone to attack her, kick her out of the fashion show, and make it go viral! But she actually went and threw eggs at Maia?”
Rita clutched her chest and sat on the nearby sofa. “This is the 1s11 Fashion Show. What an ignorant country bumpkin!”
How could she not be angry? Since Zera’s death, she wanted a distant relative from her mother’s side to be with her. Someone she could use. But unexpectedly... she chose such a stupid person!
Polly could only comfort Rita, saying, “Mrs. Rita, please calm down. | knew Josephine was inexperienced, so | found a teacher for her. But even | didn’t expect her to be this foolish... We can only find a way to salvage the situation.”
“How can we Salvage it? She’s genuinely an imbecile! Why would she act so stupidly in public at the 1511 fashion show? What does she think of those people in high society?
“| had arranged for so many people to help her amplify critics, spark discussions, and strengthen everyone's dissatisfaction! But she went to throw eggs at someone?
“Ma’am... and...” ‘And?” Rita became even angrier, questioning, “What else?” Polly didn’t know how to continue and could only say, “You need to be mentally prepared.”
“At a time like this, | have to be mentally prepared. If I’m not, what else can | do? Tell me, what other foolish thing has the swine done?”
“When Josephine was taken away, she confessed in the fashion show... about you, Mrs. Rita.” As soon as Polly said this, Rita fainted on the sofa...
“Ma’am, Ma’am!” Polly was scared and immediately pinched Rita’s philtrum. Then she
Later, the ambulance arrived, and Rita was taken to the Prismara Hospital. Almost immediately, Cedric received the news of Rita’s hospitalization.
“Mr. Cedric, Mrs. Rita fainted when she heard that Josephine accused her! Mrs. Rita is old. How can she withstand such turmoil?”
Cedric found it ridiculous. A servant's actions reflect the master.
“Is she still alive?” He asked indifferently.
On the other end of the phone, Polly was stunned, never expecting Cedric to ask this way with little concern!
“Now that everything is fine, she needs to be monitored in the hospital for a while...”
“Since she’s fine, why bother calling me?” His tone was colder than before.
Now, Polly was utterly dumbfounded. Before she could react, Cedric had already hung up the phone.
“What did he say?” Rita looked at Polly. Her face was slightly pale, and her voice was weak, clearly angered by Josephine. Polly swallowed and dared not speak. “Ma’am, you should rest...”
“I'm asking you a question. What was Cedric’s reaction? When is he planning to come see me?”
“Mr. Cedric said nothing. He only asked...” Polly hesitated, not daring to speak.
Rita instantly asked, “What did he ask?”
“He asked if you were still alive...” Polly answered timidly.
Rita’s expression dropped. She was already feeling chest discomfort due to anger, and at this moment, her face turned livid.
“| told Mr. Cedric that you're fine and needed to rest in the hospital for a while. Mr. Cedric asked why | called him since you were fine...” Polly continued, and her voice gradually faded.
Rita’s face turned pale, and her breath became difficult.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
“Doctor! Doctor!” Seeing this, Polly quickly pressed the side button, shouting outside the ward.
Public discourse continues to intensify.
Everyone was saying that the warring couple sweetened each other, but there would be glass shards in the sweets. +15 BONUS
After that day, Cedric never appeared by Mala’s side again. She suddenly felt empty, but she seemed to return to her life before him.
This may be a good thing. Mala also moved back to the Cloud Nine Residence.
She took advantage of the weekend to deliver the items that Aiken had asked her to give to his father. His home was in the western part of the city.
“Jordan, these are the Stonebrook specialities that Aiken asked me to bring you.”
Jordan looked at a couple of bags Mala handed over, shaking his head helplessly. “This brat always buys such random things. In the end, | have to feed them to the dogs!”
Though Jordan complained, he accepted them with a smile.
“Jordan, you might sound mean, but you’re obviously enjoying it.”
“Girl, you cannot say such things in front of that brat. Otherwise, he might become conceited! Maia nodded understandingly. “Relax, Jordan. | know what to do.”
“Come, have some Earl Grey that | just brewed.” Jordan poured a cup of tea and handed it to Maia
She smiled and thanked him.
Then, Jordan looked at Maia and said, “Maia, I've heard about Rosa.”
Maia was slightly startled. Jordan held a high position within the group. Of course, he would have known about it.
“Jordan, everything has come to light now.”
Although Yvette was dead, she had finally admitted her crime.
