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.

“When all’s said and done, Zera’s death means nothing to me. I’m merely returning the favor because you saved me last night. It’s up to you how you’re going to find out her murderer.

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

bus.

As for Rita, she was going to pay for what she did to Maia. There was no question about it.

He took Maia’s hands in his own and led her across the street. She tried to break free, but Cedric had a firm grip on her. She looked around and got worried that somebody might record everything on video. So, she pursed her lips and stopped struggling.

Maia shook his hand off as soon as they were in the car. The partition went up momentarily. It was dead quiet in the car until Cedric broke the silence, “Do you know why I was in Greendale last night?”

Maia shook her head. Oswald was able to carry out his plan because Cedric was there. It took two hours to drive from Greendale to Prismara Hill.

“Zera was at Prismara Dock before she died.”

Maia was stunned. She asked, “Did you find out something? Why would she appear at Prismara Dock before her death? It’s so far away from Stonebrook..”

“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.

“Or, perhaps they handed Zera over to the murderer. Then, the murderer transported her to Stonebrook via the waterway. Is it possible he killed Zera and framed me for the murder?”
