Will You Marry Me, Again by Pear Heart

Chapter 126 Who Dares Touch Her?

“Of course, I’d start feeling suspicious when you’re looking at Hope like that. It’s as if you’re trying to steal her away.” Maia smiled cheekily at Buck.

“N–no, that’s not true.” Buck tried to deny it but he was not very convincing,

“Stop trying to deny it, just admit that you like her. I could tell right away just from the way you look at her.”

“W–was I that obvious?”

“See? You’ve admitted it.”

Buck was rendered speechless. He did not expect Maia to be so cunning with her words. “Ms. Maia, how could you?”

“Don’t make me out to be the bad guy. You were the one who had something to hide.”

She turned to stare at Hope, who was standing at the balcony. “If you like her, you should do something about it. Hope clearly doesn’t hate you and since her mother is not here anymore, she needs someone else to look after her, right?”

Buck nodded and added playfully, “I guess Hope’s sister is not against this relationship.”

“My acknowledgment means nothing. You need Hope to agree.”

“I’ll work on it!” Buck pumped his fist in the air to encourage himself before he would officially pursue Hope.

Maia just smiled and went back to finishing her noodles. The wound on her knee still hurt. She took a glance at it as the bowl of noodles she had been eating suddenly felt bland.

The night was filled with an air of forlorn silence back at Prismara Hill. When the news about Maia got out, Cedric had immediately instructed Baz to remove any negative news regarding Maia from the internet.

“Mr. Cedric, we’ve managed to take down numerous negative posts from Twitter. However, the news has already spread out far and wide, so there’s only so much we can do.”

Cedric nodded. He knew very well that they would not be able to completely prevent people from talking about it.

“I want you to purchase most of Starlight Entertainment’s shares,” Cedric instructed.

Baz was confused. He asked Cedric, “If the news about Ms. Maia continues to spread, Starlight Entertainment’s market value would definitely drop. Why should we buy them?”

“That’s exactly why I’m asking you to buy them.” Cedric needed to make sure that her
