Will You Marry Me, Again by Pear Heart

Chapter 123 She Is a Big Shot

“You’re here at last, Cedric! Would you listen to what she’s saying?” Rita started whining.

“I 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 I 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 I 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 I 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?”
