Will You Marry Me, Again by Pear Heart

Chapter 291 He Checked Out

Vicky raised her head and looked at Maia. “My purpose here is to design unique dresses for you. It’s because you were the only one for Cedric. In any case, I’m here to serve you.”

“Is that all?” Maia squinted at her, “Don’t you think you need to explain yourself about the painting?”

Vicky was a little surprised. She did not think Maia would press her this much, “Are you wired differently? You’re catching on to things too quickly. Once you discover a lead, you unearth the rest of them. How do you do it?

“You are truly worthy of being the CEO of Starlight Entertainment. Pretty, sexy, and smart. You’re the whole package. Your strengths are more than enough to ensnare the heart of a sea of men!”

Maia frowned, “Are you paying me a compliment or lobbing an insult at me, Vicky?”

“Well, you shouldn’t have questioned our friendship. Let’s say we’re even now!” Vicky was not going to hold it in. She was a straightforward person. Either she liked someone or she hated them, and she truly wanted to remain friends with Maia.

Maia was not the petty type, either. “Who asked you to lie to me?”

“Do you think I had a choice? My boss gave me an order. I’m weak and defenseless. What else could I have done?”

“Are you sure weak and defenseless is an accurate description for you? Out with it. What on earth was the story with the painting?” /

It was definitely Rita in that painting. That much she was certain. However, how did Vicky come to acquire it? She might have thought it was fate previously, but it was different now. She felt that someone purposely gave the painting to her through Vicky and made it look like it happened by chance.

With that said, who could have done it? Could it have been Cedric?

Maia was not so sure about that. After all, this was about his mother’s fate.

She stuttered for a while and said, “Can you just ask Cedric about this yourself, Maia? If he finds out that I tattled,
