Will You Marry Me, Again by Pear Heart

Chapter 242

Chapter 242 This Way, Lady!

It was a brief text, but Maia felt tears in her eyes after she read it. She had longed for him to care about her this way in the past. The fact that he had shown up whenever she needed him was something she had not even dared to dream of.

However, all of his actions today were pure irony to what happened in the past. She dared not go to the balcony because she was worried that she would be found out like what happened last time. She was not sure if he had left.

Did he leave? Was he still standing down there?

Some time had passed when her phone rang suddenly. Maia snapped out of her thoughts and looked at her phone. She was both disappointed and relieved that it was not Cedric.

Buck was on the other end when she answered the call. “I investigated Victor according to the lead Hope gave us. Aside from some erotic pictures, I came up empty–handed.

“I had to work another angle. I looked into the female celebrities who had fallen victim to him. My findings confirm that Victor used to groom a girl group called Victorious Secret. They shot to fame for a little while, but it only lasted two years before they were disbanded and faded into obscurity.”

“Victorious Secret?” Maia was a little familiar with this girl group. They had been famous for their unique songs. They endorsed many brands and put out a lot of performances. However, they were disbanded soon after their debut. No one had heard from them ever since.

It looked like there was a reason it happened. It was very likely they were put in cold storage.

“That’s right. I tracked down the leader of the troupe. She was selling alcohol in one of the nightclubs in Prismara. She has a kid and that’s how she’s supporting her family. It’s not an easy life.

“She was exposed to the unspoken rules that were present in Mykonos Studio. I don’t think it’ll be easy to convince her to testify against Victor.”

“Which nightclub is she working at?” Maia asked.

“It’s the first nightclub on Langford Street.”

“I’m headed there now.”

Buck was surprised, “Huh? Did you say you’re going there now, Ms. Maia?”

“You heard me.” With that, Maia hung up the phone. She picked up her car keys and went
