Will You Marry Me, Again
Chapter 150

Chapter 150 Everything Has Two SidesFernando gazed at Maia and spoke hesitantly.

“To spare his feelings, I’ve instructed the staff at the Beverley Manor not to mention it. Let’s consider it as weaving a beautifuldream for Mr. Hans...

“Don't let it weigh on your mind. | know it’s unfair to you, but... Mr. Hans is getting on inyears, and that attempted murder a year and a half ago has left his body nowhere near as resilient as it used to be.”

Hans was genuinely kind to her, and Maia could understand Fernando's words. However, there was one phrase that caught herattention.

“Fernando, did you say attempted murder? What happened?Fernando looked at her, somewhat surprised. “Maia, don’t you know?”

Maia shook her head. She honestly had no idea. She had always thought that Grandpa fell ill due to old age, but she neverimagined it was an attempted murder!

“Mr. Hans was poisoned with a slow—acting toxin by one of the chefs in the kitchen. It accumulated in his body over time, causingdamage. Fortunately, it was discovered not too late, but the situation is still quite serious.”

“The chef? Why would he do such a thing?” Maia was puzzled.

Fernando shook his head. “He admitted it was a personal grudge, but aside from having a bit of a bad temper, Mr. Hans hasalways been extremely kind to the staff. He has helped them a lot.

How could there be a personal grudge? Most likely, someone was manipulating things behindthe scenes.”

“Does Cedric know about this?” A chef daring to poison the once—influential Hans Larkin, he couldn’t have ignored theconsequences. This is especially so considering Cedric’s character and the status that the Larkin family held.

Acentury-old history of the family was intimidating to most people. For a chef to take such a life-threatening action due toapersonal grudge, how deep must that grudge be to risk being discovered?

Fernando nodded and said, “Mr. Cedric knows, but the old master barely managed to instruct him when he was lucid. He told Mr.Cedric not to investigate the poisoning. Just consider it as him getting old, not poisoned.

“After all, digging deeper might not be good for the Larkin family. Later on, Mr. Cedric had the information sealed, following theold master’s wishes, and decided not to continue the

Maia understood Hans’s intentions. Everything had two sides, and investigating might not necessarily be in the best interest ofthe Larkin family, a century-old legacy and a world- renowned business overlord.

Then, Fernando continued, “After Mr. Hans received treatment, he wasn’t the same as before. So Mr. Cedric arranged thepurchase of the Beverley Manor and let Mr. Hans recuperate here. All the staff here are trustworthy insiders.”

“Fernando, if there’s anything you need help with, you can call me anytime. If | can assist, I'll definitely do it.” Maia handed herbusiness card to Fernando.

The Larkin family was formidable, and Hans lacked nothing. However, for Maia, this was her way of showing kindness.

“Great.” Fernando took the business card, nodding happily. “Maia, you should visit often. Mr. Hans is in good spirits when hesees you. If you want to eat smoked fish, just let me know. I'll prepare it for you anytime!”

“Thank you, Fernando.” After responding, Maia waved to Fernando and then got into her car.Subsequently, she drove away from Beverley Manor.While Maia was driving smoothly on the highway, Fernando’s words triggered deep contemplation in her.

She thought about the mysterious death of Yvette, the fact that the true culprit who killed her mother still roamed free, and therecent events that unfolded.....

She pursed her lips and murmured to herself, “Grandpa is right. Sometimes, an investigation might not be a good idea. But if youdon’t investigate, you might suffer injustice for no reason, and you won't even know if the other party will make a move again.Everything has two sides...”

She had no choice but to carry on with the investigation. She pressed on the gas pedal, and the car accelerated...Meanwhile, the news of Starlight Entertainment’s acquisition of Nebula Entertainment stirred up quite a commotion.In less than three minutes, it topped the trending topics! The entire internet was buzzing with discussions!

“What's going on? Why is Starlight acquiring Nebula? Nebula is such a small company. There seems to be nothing valuablethere besides Hope...”

“Could it be because of Hope Warren? I’ve seen Hope Warren and Starlight Entertainment's people get close. My cousin worksas a nurse in the hospital where Hope lives.

“She saw Maia’s assistant taking care of Hope Warren. How close are they for Maia to have her assistant look after HopeWarren?”

“Hope Warren is valuable, but is it really worth acquiring Nebula just for her? Are CEOs always this whimsical?”

Soon, an insider came forward to clarify the speculations.

“Do you guys know that Sunny Videos and Nebula Entertainment have a lifelong cooperation deal? All TV dramas produced byNebula Entertainment are given the best positions, and they are all vigorously promoted on Sunny Videos.

“This acquisition by Starlight Entertainment was aimed at cooperating with Sunny Videos, a major influencing platform!”

“Yes, a friend of my friend works at Nebula Entertainment, and that’s exactly what they say internally. Although “The Quest’ hascollaborated with Sunny Videos this time, Sunny Videos has shown no intention of promoting ‘D Dream‘ at all.”

“| guess Maia was worried the show might lose popularity, so she acquired Nebula Entertainment. Besides, Hope Warren isvaluable!”

“But... wasn’t Sunny Videos acquired by Cedric Larkin? Ring ring, everyone, think about it carefully!”

However, apart from these discussions, Hope’s fans flooded in with congratulatory messages, celebrating the acquisition ofHope’s parasitic company. They were also rejoicing that Hope could have a better future and resources.

As a fan of Hope, Buck had already launched a retweet lottery on Twitter, with prizes including all of Hope’s photo albums andsigned photos!

Twenty minutes later, Maia drove to Cloud Nine Residences. Just as she parked her car, a nearby car door quickly opened, andTess hurriedly got out.

“Maia, where have you been?” Tess approached with concern and questioning.“Aunt Tess? When did you arrive?”

Tess spoke slightly reproachfully, “I’ve been here for about an hour. | rang your doorbell, but no one answered. | called you, butyou didn’t pick up. | sent you WhatsApp texts, and you didn’t reply. Are you trying to worry me and make me search the entirePrismara City for you?”

Maia took out her phone and explained to Tess, “Aunt Tess, my phone was out of battery. | didn’t deliberately ignore you.”

“Mischievous girl, where did you go so early in the morning? And what's that in your hands?”
