Will You Marry Me, Again by Pear Heart

Chapter 128 He’d Do Anything for Her

“Don’t look at me like that. You gave Ms. Maia a huge gift, so naturally we would have to give you something huge in return too. Mr. Cedric instructed us to take good care of you.”

Baz explained patiently. “It’s such a shame to let all these eggs you brought go to waste. Let’s put them to good use.”

The woman started yelling, “How dare you touch me! You piece of trash! Do you know who I am?”

“Of course, you’re one of Ms. Rita’s distant relatives!”

“If you already knew who I am, you wouldn’t dare do this to me.” She glared daggers at him. Baz shook his head helplessly and asked, “Do you know who you just messed with?”

The woman was momentarily taken aback. How could she not know Maia Burgess? “What do you mean?”

Baz moved closer to her and elaborated helpfully, “Since you’re clearly not the brightest person, I’ll explain it to you. The lady you just offended is an important person to Mr. Cedric. He would do anything for her.”

He went on. “Meanwhile, you’re just a distant relative of Ms. Rita. So, what makes you think that Mr. Cedric would even care about you?”

The woman’s face was distorted with fear, “N–no, you can’t do
