Chapter 217 I Can Use It Too
The moment the tweet was posted, the netizens‘ accusations took a turn for the better! Cedric had personally responded to the
scandal, who else would dare say otherwise?
Moreover, Starlight Entertainment had released an official statement stating that they would be suing the three artists for
defamation and terminating their contracts immediately! Maia eyed Cedric suspiciously. She could not really tell if he was trying
to help her or make matters worse. Even though it looked like he had cleared all accusations of her sleeping with those male
artists, he also exposed the fact that they were together for three days.
“Wait a minute! Does that mean that Ms. Maia was with Mr. Cedric all along? So, those artists were just trying to frame her! How
could Starlight Entertainment keep such horrible artists?”
“To think those artists would even go so far as to defame their own boss. What were they thinking?”
“Does this mean that they’re getting back together? I’m all for the warring couple!”
“I’m crying tears of joy! The warring couple is finally back! Who wouldn’t fall for Mr. Cedric’s unwavering trust toward his wife?”
“Correcting the comment above, she’s still his ex–wife. They haven’t officially got back together!”
Maia knew this would happen as she read the comments in frustration.
Cedric, on the other hand, was smiling in satisfaction as he read the comments. He could not help but smile at Maia when he
looked up from his phone.
All Maia wanted to do was to throw her phone at his face!
“Honey, everything has been solved.”
“Should I invite you for a meal as appreciation?” Maia asked sarcastically.
“Sure! How does tonight sound?”
“Still, a bastard that loves you!” he confessed smugly.
Maia could not continue arguing with him as he was too shameless. She ignored him and went to retrieve her suitcase. After
getting her suitcase, she immediately walked toward the entrance of the presidential suit.
When she opened the door, the two bodyguards stationed at the entrance immediately greeted her. “Hi, Mrs. Larkin!”

Maia only got angrier when she heard that. Before she could step outside, Cedric grabbed her by the wrist and lifted her in a
princess–style carry.
“Cedric, put me down! Stop trying to take advantage of me! Let me go!” She struggled violently in !is embrace.
thought you wanted to go back to Prismara?”
“Let me go! I can go back on my own! I don’t need your help! I’m not the girl who would come over just because you smiled and
asked me to. How many times do you want me to say Don’t make my hatred for you grow!”
this?
Cedric just looked at her lovingly as he added, “I’ll be the one to approach you when you
ask
me to.”
Maia was momentarily stunned by his words as she quickly lowered her head to avoid eye
contact.
“Let me go!”
However, Cedric did not comply. Instead, he commented, “Your feet hurt, right? Besides, it’s not the first day that you hate me.”
Maia instantly looked at her feet. She did not even notice the blisters she had from the heels that she had been wearing. It was
The bodyguards outside only lowered their heads, trying to minimize their existence. This was the first time they had seen
someone treating their boss in such a way. Their boss’s ex–wife was definitely a force to be reckoned with.
Cedric carried Maia all the way to the elevators and up the roof of the hotel.
“I thought we were going to the airport. Where are you taking me?”
“Are you worried that I might have kidnapped you?”
“I wouldn’t be able to put up much of a fight if you wanted to. So, could you please tell me where exactly we’re going?”
“I would never do anything to harm you.” She was his life.
Cedric continued to carry her to their destination. Maia finally realised where they were
heading to.
“Osttahl hotel’s helipad?”
Cedric just smiled as he carried her out of the building.
Maia knew that she was right the moment she saw the huge helipad.

“I thought the hotel didn’t allow guests to use it. I’ve heard that Jerome Olsen only used it once to pick his wife up,” Maia
commented.
“If he can use it, so can 1,” Cedric replied smugly.
Realization dawned upon Maia. Cedric was just as powerful and rich as Jerome, so it was no surprise that he was able to use it
too.
Seconds later, Cedric’s helicopter landed on the roof.
After boarding, Maia’s cell phone rang again. It was Jordan.
“Yes, Jordan?”
“Maia, I’ve checked all the surveillance footage available. I think the person who killed your mother was your aunt. I know it might
sound ridiculous, but we cannot ignore the possibility that she might be a suspect too.” Jordan spoke in a rush as he had to
inform Maia about the truth.
