Chapter 148 Now | Hate You Even More

Hans could see it all and was deeply concerned, even though he was not expressing it verbally Fernando knew that the two hadalready divorced, so hearing Hans say this didn’t surpris him

“Pot doing this is a bit shameless.

“If we don’t talk about it, then no one will know. Even if they replace out, we'll just act like we don’t know anything!” Hans perfectlyexemplified the concept of “turning a blind eye.

“Maia is very clever, she will definitely replace out. Moreover, Mr. Cedric saw it, but he didn’t have time to stop Ms. Maia. He didn’twant Ms. Maia to drink that tea.”

Fernando had witnessed it all. When Maia was about to drink the tea, Cedric’s expression changed. He wanted to stop her, buthe was a step too late.

Hans was a bit dissatisfied. “I’m helping them. According to you, it seems like | did something Wrong?”

Mr. Hans, have you ever thought about it? How would Maia feel when she realized she had been drugged? She will only thinkthat it was Mr. Cedric’s doing, and her prejudice against him will probably grow even stronger.

Prejudice? What prejudice could Maia have against Cedric? She loves Cedric the most!”Fernando didn’t know what else to say. He sighed. Times have changed, and the current Maia was not the same as beforeFernando could only shake his head again.

The next day, the first rays of morning sunlight filtered into the room. The brightness. illuminated Maia’s fair cheeks. She heardfaint sounds of water and, in a daze, opened her eyes. She felt sore all over, as if she had experienced a storm....

She felt a splitting headache, a discomfort worse than a hangover. With some effort, she propped herself up, and the thin blanketinstantly slipped down.....

Traces all over her body made Maia instantly awaken!

The fragmented memories rushed into her mind...

She resembled an uncontrollable puppet that he was manipulating last night. Her memory washattered and disjointed. She vaguely remembered being on the balcony and having aconversation with him.

But in an instant, a surging heat overwhelmed her bit by bit, and then.

Last night felt so real—the touch of the skin, the scorching breath. Maia confirmed that all of+15 BONUS

Did she... sleep with Cedric?

How could this happen....

Maia tightly bit her lower lip, trying to recall the sensations from last night. It seemed like she suddenly understood...She had been drugged!

Her delicate brows furrowed tightly as she pondered whether she had eaten something sheshouldn't have.

“It was that cup of tea...”

That cup of tea was the only possibility. As for the other things she ate, everyone else had them too. She was the only one todrink that particular cup of tea!

“Cedric!”Maia enunciated each word with a tone of hatred, her petite hand gripping the thin blanket tighter.

Suddenly, the phone placed on the side vibrated a few times. Maia looked over. It was Cedric’s phone, with several WhatsAppmessages. Yet, she found the wallpaper strangely familiar.

Wasn't this her?

She picked up the phone, confirming that the lock screen wallpaper featured her photo.

Maia gritted her teeth and immediately prepared to open his phone to change the screensaver.But how could it be so easy?

As she tried to input the password, a robust chest pressed against her from behind. He hugged her and took the phone from herhand.

Then, a deep voice resonated in her ear, “Do you want to change the screensaver to a tortoise as well?”

Cedric hadn't forgotten the tortoise picture she placed in his wallet. He still kept that picture, as it was a gift from his wife. Howcould he bear to take it out?

Maia felt the dampness on her shoulder, her hatred was so intense that she tightly bit her lower lip. When she turned around, sheraised her hand to slap his cheek!

However, Cedric caught her hand.

“Cedric, you are truly shameless!”

Maia tried to break free from his grip, but her wrist was firmly held, leaving visible red marks.+15 BONUS

“What happened last night was not my intention,” he calmly said.

Mala looked at his arrogant face and found it utterly ridiculous.“Not your intention? Then what's going on now? That cup of tea was spiked, Cedric. Do you dare

say you didn’t know? You dare say it wasn’t your idea? You're using such despicable methods... Even if you succeed, what's thepoint? Glory?

“I've said it before, | don’t love you anymore. | don’t want any connection with you. From the moment | survived the fire, | madeup my mind not to let you step into my life again.”

Maia’s eyes turned red. She didn’t know if she was angry or hurt. Too many emotions eruptedat this moment.Her body trembled slightly, her fists clenched, and her beautifully manicured nails had already dug into the palm of her hand.

With red eyes, she looked at him with hatred and determination. Yet the words she spoke were so light, as if she didn’t careabout him at all.

“No matter what you do, | will never love you again. Now | hate you even more!”

The sentence that he did not administer the drug lingered on the tip of his tongue, but he kept it to himself. He did not rush toexplain and did not coax her with the same thick—skinned attitude he had before. Instead, he despondently ran his hand throughhis slightly damp hair.

He truly understood her past feelings. Numerous explanations had never been believed by the other party. So... there was noneed for further explanations.

Maia’s eyelashes fluttered a few times. Tears started slipping from the corners of her eyes. Although they disappeared quickly, hesaw them..

He leaned down, bringing his handsome face close to hers. “Whatever you want, as long as you don’t hurt yourself.”No matter how many times she struck him, he wouldn’t dodge.

“Stay away from me. The farther away, the better. Let it be as it was before. You despised me and made me disappear from yourlife. Never appear in my sight again... Cedric, everyone in the world can love me, except you. You've lost that privilege!”

He listened to her words that cut to the core, but he knew that her past pain exceeded what he felt now. What did this little painof his matter?
