“I’m going to press charges against you! I’ll make sure your restaurant is no longer in business! You’re going to pay for what you put me through today. This isn’t something that can be solved with an apology. Just wait and see!”

Rita looked fierce, and her tone was fearsome too. Maia was kind of impressed with her. She was drenched through and through. She was also shivering and looked very miserable.

However, she still found the time to shout at the restaurant staff. Shouldn’t she have a change of clothes before she did that?

Maia felt a little helpless. So, she listened to Rita’s incessant grievance as the restaurant manager apologized to her repeatedly. Then she frowned.

She hatched the plan. “I think we shouldn’t make this bigger, mother. Cedric bought this place. So, it’s technically the Larkin family’s property.”

“I–If we make this thing bigger than it is, it will affect their profit. Money isn’t as big an issue as our family’s reputation.”

Rita used to tell her countless times that she had to learn to tolerate everything for the sake of the Larkin family’s reputation. So, that was what she did.

Maia was telling Rita the same thing now.

Rita calmed down when she heard what Maia said. She realized that Cedric bought this restaurant. It wouldn’t be good for the Larkin family and herself if she kept this up.

“Mom,” Maia could tell Rita was hesitating. So, she moved to mitigate the situation, “Let’s get you home and cleaned up. It won’t do you catch a cold. You have to take care of yourself before you can go after the restaurant.”

Maia’s voice was so soft, and it worked well on Rita.

“You’re right.” Rita shivered from the cold. Then she glanced at the restaurant manager, who kept his head lowered.

“I’m going to settle the score with you sooner or later! Don’t think you’re off the hook because my son bought your restaurant! I was the victim of your busted door and sprinkler system in the toilet! What if the same thing happened to the other customers?”
