A man walked toward the runaway. He had an intimidating aura as he walked toward Maia and took out a black handkerchief to clean the residue from her forehead.

“It’s swelling.” He looked at her gently, but his tone was upset.

Moments later, Baz came into the hall with a group of security guards and restrained the woman who threw the egg at Maia.

“Unhand me! She was brave enough to commit murder, so why is she so scared of hearing what people are saying? We’re not allow to even ask for justice for Zera, just because Mr. Cedric is protecting Maia Burgess!” The woman continued to struggle against Baz as she yelled.

The woman had managed to ignite a storm of anger in the once silence hall. The organizers had also rushed over to check on the situation. They were shocked as something this controversial had never happened in the history of the fashion show.

The organizers immediately apologized to Cedric, but Cedric only turned to them and asked for a microphone.

“I was the one who ordered news about her to be removed.” Cedric eyed the woman who questioned him dangerously as he replied coldly.
