Will You Marry Me, Again

Chapter 194 I’ve Been Long Wanted This

Tess’s expression froze briefly before immediately smiling and saying, “Maia, it’s not hard for me. Don’t think too much. Losing your memory isn’t your fault. Even if you can’t recover your memory, it’s okay. You aunt is here, right?”

Maia found Tess’s words even more amusing. She nodded, suppressing the boiling anger within, and smiled, “Thank you, Aunt Tess.”

“You don’t need to thank your family, silly child.”

Maia was well aware of how pompous and nauseating these words were. She yearned to rip Tess’s mask off and reveal the malevolence lurking beneath.

Maia simply nodded at Tess and didn’t say another word. Her phone vibrated a few times. Checking her phone, she realized Cedric had forwarded all the emails from the entire day at Starlight Entertainment to her,

Apart from emails, there were also contents of electronic files. It everything and sent it to Cedric, who forwarded it to her. eemed Buck had backed up

Maia was out of Tess’s sight as she examined the content of each email, leaning against the side of the sofa in the best position to face Tess. She continued this until the evening.

Then, her phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number, but these digits were already ingrained in her memory from before. She pressed the answer button and said, “Hello?”

“Work’s over.” “Yeah, | know,” Maia said, checking the time. It was indeed time to leave. “lm downstairs.”

“What?” Maia was surprised, getting up and walking toward the French window. The smooth lines of the car were particularly eye-catching in the evening twilight.

Tess looked at Maia standing by the French window and asked, “Maia, what are you looking at? “Aunt Tess, Cedric is here,” Maia replied.

Upon hearing this, Tess’s expression stiffened slightly. “Cedric is here? Wasn't he at the hospital? How did he come to the company?”

“He’s here to pick me up after work.”

“His injuries haven’t healed yet, and he’s here to pick you up after work. Maia, Cedric is really nice to you,” Tess said with a smile, but her voice had a strange tone.

10 +15 BONUS Maia smiled. “Yeah, I’ve been looking forward to it for so long...”

In the past, she didn’t know how long she had waited for him to come and pick her up. Now, it was so easy to obtain him, even though he still had leg injuries.

“Congratulations, Maia. Cedric really likes you. Fortunately, you only have memories from three years ago, or else you might not accept Cedric so easily.”

Tess also saw the luxury car outside. Then, she spoke again, “Ah, to be honest, | still hoped you wouldn’t accept him. Cedric is too terrifying. No one knows if he'll let you stand at the pinnacle with him or if he will push you off the cliff and devour Starlight Entertainment.”

Mala shook her head and said, “Aunt Tess, he won't.” “Never judge a book by its cover. Maia, you're just too kind.”

Maia smiled at Tess, expressing, “Aunt Tess, | believe that as long as one isn’t foolishly kind, it’s better to be kind. You might be afraid to walk the night road if you do too many bad things.

Tess paused and then nodded. “Yes, you are right.” “Aunt Tess, you’ve had a busy day. Let’s go off work.” “Alright,” Tess responded. After packing up, they left the office together.

When the employees saw Tess on their way out, they froze. Although each one nodded and greeted her, their expressions were rigid, as if it were strictly business. Some employees even deliberately avoided her, not wanting to make eye contact with Tess.

Maia felt helpless. It was only her first day at the company, and she had already lost the goodwill of the employees.

As they exited the company, Gilbert, the driver, immediately stepped forward. He looked at Maia, nodding. “Ms. Maia, Mr. Cedric has been waiting in the car for quite some time.”

“Okay,” Maia nodded. She then looked at Tess and said, “Aunt Tess, I’m getting in the car. Please drive safely back.” “Sure.” Tess nodded with a smile.

Maia followed Gilbert to where the luxury car was parked. The door opened from the inside, and Maia saw Cedric sitting in the back. She immediately entered the car.

As the door closed and the partition in the car rose, Maia reached up and gently massaged her face, allowing her to relax after the day’s tension.

“You had been acting all day, tired?” Cedric looked at her calm and relaxed appearance, asking with a light laugh. +15 BONUS

“It's as tiring as pretending to be disabled all day,” Mala replied. This day was exhausting for.

her

“| think it's not bad.“

Mala was startled. “You find it not too bad to pretend to be a delinquent all day, Cedric?”

“It's worth it to have you by my side.”

The atmosphere in the car fell into silence because of Cedric’s words. Mala glanced out the window. Somehow, her cars turned slightly red. Perhaps the air conditioning inside the car wasn’t cool enough?

Cedric noticed her subtle change and couldn't help but laugh. This laugh was enough to make countless young hearts flutter. Maia tried to avoid it, but she still saw it.

She cleared her throat several times, trying to ease the awkwardness. Then she asked, “Cedric, any action from Oswald?” “None.”

“The mastermind behind the scenes didn’t call him again?”

“Nope.”

Now, Maia was even more puzzled.

“The plan didn’t succeed, yet so much money was given to Oswald. The person behind the scenes can’t just let it go. Why is there still no action? Could it be Aunt Tess?” After all, Tess was fully focused on Starlight Entertainment at the moment,

Cedric said in a cold voice, “She is currently too preoccupied to consider anything else.”Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Yeah, Aunt now has control of Starlight Entertainment. Today, she set rules and flaunted her power in the company, almost ruining those big productions with investments of millions.

“If those TV dramas were to fail, | would definitely expose her!” Maia said, her beautiful eyes. carrying a sense of determination. +15 BONUS

Chapter 196 A Deliberate Plan

“Municipal Hospital.” Errol was terrified when he heard what Cedric said. The video call was cut off before Maia could say anything.

“Errol!” Cedric ordered, “Municipal Hospital. Now.” “Roger.” Gilbert started driving toward the hospital.

Celia was on the hospital bed and Errol was standing in the corner. It was plain to see that he was in misery. Maia looked at him, then at Celia’s agent and assistant, who were wiping tears. Then, she took both of them out of the room.

The moment the door closed, she asked them, “What happened?”

Celia’s assistant wiped her tears and said, “Celia would always rest in the makeshift standby room when she’s not shooting a scene. Lately, she seems more exhausted than usual.

“She's a light sleeper, so she doesn't like it when people disturb her sleep. Yesterday, she went to rest as usual, but she wasn’t in the standby room when | went to tell her that her scene was up. | called her immediately, but she didn’t answer.

“| got worried. So, | told the filming crew about what happened and we called the police. They searched for her in the hills and found her in the woods. She... She was...

The assistant was overwhelmed with emotion and burst into tears. The agent was slightly calmer, so she continued where the assistant left off.

“It was a mess when the police found her. We're not sure how many men had been involved, but Celia’s costume was torn to pieces, and there was blood everywhere on her legs.

“We sent her to the hospital at once and found out that she had miscarried. They got the culprits‘ DNA samples. The cops will get them soon enough!”

“Why didn’t you let me know right there and then?”

Celia’s “I only just found out about what happened. You got here

The assistant kept wiping her tears. “It’s all my fault. This wouldn’t have happened if | had been by her side!”

Maia reassured her. “You might not have been able to protect her even if you were with her. You wouldn’t have been strong enough to fight against multiple assailants. Were there any witnesses?”

Celia’s assistant shook her head. “Everyone was focused on the shooting of the scene. Ms.
