Will You Marry Me, Again by Pear Heart

Chapter 72 You Ruin Yourself

Breaking down in tears, Zera clutched Cedric’s clothes as she hurried into the house. “I’m done this time, Cedric. Only you can save me now!”

Seeing this, Rita said, “Cedric, I know we could’ve been kinder to Maia, but what she did in the past was too much! Besides, I bet she’s somehow behind the scandals.”

“You’re damn right I am,” Maia said as she leaned against the wall nearby. Cocking her head, she waved at Rita and Zera. “Good evening, guys.”

Rita and Larkin were stupefied to see her show up in a nightgown.

“Y–you…” Rita looked at Maia and then at Cedric in disbelief. “What the hell is going on?”

Maia smiled at her. “What do you think?”

Rita palmed her heart and stumbled backward a few steps.

Pointing at Maia, Zera screamed, “You fucking whore!”

She turned to Cedric while sobbing. “See? She admitted it herself! You can’t let her do this to me, Cedric! I know I was in the wrong, and I apologize, okay? Please don’t do this to me, or I’m going to kill myself!”

Maia smiled. “Again?”

She readily handed Zera a paring knife.

Zera looked at it, bewildered. “W–What are you doing?”
