Chapter 200 A Husband's Duty

Cedric lowered his head, looked at his beloved wife, and grinned lovingly. It was wonderful for him to have her as his wife.“Mmph...” Maia kicked her blanket away. She always did this in her sleep. He smiled and

tucked her in again. This was going to happen many times throughout the night. She was just

like a kid.

He brushed her hair back behind her ear as his smile deepened. She'll always be his little Maia.

Maia could hear her phone ringing the next morning. She had always had a habit of sleeping in. Today was no exception either.She kept her blanket on and rolled in her sleep, but the ringing never stopped.

She was finally roused from her sleep and eventually grabbed her phone from the bedside. table. It was Buck. She picked up thecall, laid back down, and said drowsily, “Hello?”

“We found Celia’s attackers, Ms. Maia!”Maia snapped wide awake and sat upright on her bed, “What did you say? We got them?”

Buck answered instantly, “That’s right. Mr. Cedric lent his men to the police and they found them. They got a sample of their hairand compared it to the ones they got from Zera’s crime.

scene.“We can confirm that it’s the same group of people! They've been on the run all this time, but we got them last night.”“Did they admit to their crimes? Was there another person behind the scenes?”

“That’s the thing. The police found them, but the guys were already dead in their own places. when the cops got there.”“Huh?” Maia was definitely awake now. “Are all of them dead? Did none of them survive?”

“That’s right. | just got found out from Baz. He wanted me to pass the message to you. Mr. Cedric’s in an important meeting withthe company’s shareholders, he said.”

Maia frowned and bit her lip. The same group of guys who did those horrible things to both Zera and Celia are now dead. Did itmean there was indeed a person behind the scenes? The person killed all of them out of desperation.

“Did they track down any suspects with the nearby security footage?” Maia pressed.

“They stayed in private housings in the outskirts. It was very remote. There was virtually no security footage. There wasn’tanything helpful at the crime scene either. All of them were

Maia’s frown deepened, “I see.”

“Have you recovered some of your memories, Ms. Mala?”

“That’s a no,” Maia answered.

“Ah... Why do | get the feeling that you've reverted back to the Mala | know, then?” Buck asked.

Maia was worried that he might have seen through her act. She said, “I lost my memories, not who | am. Nothing has changedaside from the gap in my memory. So it’s natural for you to feel that way.”

“| guess you're right. You'll always be you. Just without some of your memories.”“Yeah, exactly.”

“Keep up the good work, Ms. Maia. I’m sure you'll get your memories back.”“You can count on it.”

After hanging up, Maia sat on her bed and contemplated. It was getting more complicated. Rita hired the group of guys to rapeZera. She said so herself. So, how was it that the same group of

guys did what they did to Celia?

Rita and Tess had no history together. So, there was no way they could’ve hired the same group of guys to go after Celia! Couldit just be a big coincidence?

Maia could not figure it out.

She checked the time, freshened up, and got ready to go to work. She took a packed breakfast from the kitchen and walked outof the villa.

Suddenly, Gilbert opened the car door for her and said, “Please get in the car, Ms. Maia!”She paused before smiling and said, “It’s okay, Gilbert. | can drive myself to work.”

“Mr. Cedric’s orders, Ms. Maia. He wanted me to drive you to Starlight Entertainment. He’ll be worried if you go there by yourself.It's always good to have someone to back you up.

“Furthermore, if there’s one thing | do best, it's driving!” Gilbert patted his chest, Maia did not have the heart to reject him. Shegot into the car. Then, Gilbert started chatting with her.

“Ms. Maia. You might not know it, but Mr. Cedric loves you from the bottom of his heart! He went to your bedroom and stayedthere for a long time after having his breakfast.

“| saw that it was almost time, and it was going to affect the morning meeting with the shareholders. So, | went upstairs and toldhim about it. Do you want to guess what he did after that?” Gilbert grinned from ear to ear.

“It was the first time I’ve seen him like that. He simply stood there, staring at you. He even tucked

you in. I’ve been his chauffeur for a long time, and I’ve never seen him this way. “The way he looked at you was so different. Hewas never a warm person under normal

circumstances. In fact, he rouses fear in people. Imagine my surprise when | saw how tenderly he locked at you!”

Maia trembled slightly at that. She did not know what to say, so she just smiled. Then, she received a text from Cedric.“Remember to take your breakfast. I'll pick you up after work.”

Maia was puzzled. He was supposed to be in an important meeting. Why was he still texting her?

Maia replied to him quickly. “That won't be necessary. | can go back to Prismara Hill by myself.”

“We have to keep up the act. How can 1, your husband, not pick you up after work?” She conceded that he had a point.

“Did you just say you’re my husband? What nonsense are you talking about?” They were business partners, at most! Maiatucked her phone away after replying to Cedric and wound down the car window to take in some fresh air.

Both her heart and mind might have been thrown into disorder, but she had to keep a clear head nonetheless. The mysterywould be unraveled soon. She could not afford to lose her co at this critical juncture!

At the same time, the important meeting was going down at the company. Cedric sat on a seat that symbolized his status. Hesmiled and put his phone down. The management staff was alarmed at that. What did they do to warrant this deliberate smile?

“M-Mr. Cedric.” One of the top management staff was sweating. He wiped it off and looked at Cedric, fear in his eyes.
