Chapter 181 It’s Only Fair

Maia paused for a few seconds. Then she said again, her fists clenched tightly, “With that said, I’m not about to let her off easy. I remembered every single thing she’d done to me vividly.

He didn’t care about Zera’s fate. The reason he was investigating it was because someone pinned it on Maia, Zera was but a pawn. The perpetrator only used her to throw Maia under the

“You can see cargo marked with the Prismara Dock logo in the video the murderer sent you.”

Maia considered it. “Rita has admitted that she hired those men, but she didn’t order them to kill Zera. She merely wanted to teach her a lesson. The men probably left the dock when they

finished their tasks.
