FreeNovelChapter 191 The Fish Is On the Hook
Aiken placed the bags against the wall and then swiftly ran off. As he passed by two
bodyguards, he even threw a triumphant wink at them! Once he left, Maia looked at the six or seven bags on the ground and
couldn’t help but laugh.
‘How could this guy be so amusing?”
Cedric felt a surge of anger. The slap she gave him seemed to hurt again. Her laughter was because of another man. Could he
not be furious?
Then, Cedric looked at the two bodyguards. Seeing that Maia’s laughter dumbfounded them, he became even more infuriated!
“Ready for a job hunt?”
When the two bodyguards heard Cedric’s words, they quickly lowered their heads. They retreated to the door outside the safe
exit.
Maia watched the two bodyguards leave nervously, picked up the bags, and turned to Cedric, her lips curled.
“I want to go home. Take care of yourself, Mr. Cedric. I won’t keep you company. No one will suspect you if you tell them you
were worried about me and forced me to go home to rest. Three years ago,
years ago, I listened to
I listened to your words more than anyone else.”

In the past, she took him too seriously. Every word he said, she could remember as if it were an imperial decree.
“Tomorrow, find an opportunity to tell Tess about the charity event.”
Maia paused and shifted her gaze to Cedric.
“What charity event?”
Cedric curled his lips. It was a smile that no one could figure out.
her.
“Aunt Tess, why did you come so early?”
“I was worried you might oversleep. Hurry up and get out of bed. You’re a good kid, but you love to sleep in.”
“Aunt Tess, do I really behave like that?” Maia smiled at Tess. Every time she spoke to Tess now, she carefully observed her
every move.
“Do I have to remind you about your habits? What do you think cost you your scholarship

Mala took a few sips of juice and smiled. “I remember that time. I really wanted to buy a bicycle. I had already picked one out and
was waiting for the scholarship. But because I was always late, I didn’t get the money.
“I went to ask my mom to help me buy the bike. However, she told me that not getting the scholarship was my fault, and I had to
bear the consequences. No money meant no bike.”.
“Yeah, so you never mentioned buying a bike again after that, and the next year at school, you were never late again.”
Maia nodded. “I didn’t expect you to remember.”
“Of course, I remember. I even offered to buy it for you, but you refused. You were so sensible at such a young age.
“Unfortunately, mom is no longer here.”
Maia lowered her head, her eyes slightly red. And the person suspected of killing her mother was sitting across from her. Maia
lowered her head, her expression changing. But her long hair covered her face, and Tess did not notice.
“Maia...” Tess called out to Maia, “It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have brought up the past, making you sad again. You lost your
memory... sigh... It’s all my fault. Let’s not talk about it. Eat up.”
Maia lifted her slightly red eyes and looked at Tess, saying, “Aunt Tess, I’m going to Osttahl in a couple of days.”
“Osttahl?” Tess was slightly taken aback. “It’s quite chaotic there. Why are you going?”
“Mom’s belongings have appeared there.” Maia’s tone was firm.
“It’s the antique watch mom used to wear. Aunt Tess, do you remember?” Maia thought for a moment and nodded.
“Yes, that is a very unique watch.”
“Yes! That vintage piece! Osttahl shops always have a lot of them. The watch Mom used to wear, a collectible, took me a long
time to find. According to Cedric, it will appear at the vintage auction in Osttahl. I must go and retrieve Mom’s belongings!”Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
“Maia, Osttahl is so chaotic... It’s not safe. I’m worried about you going alone.”
“But no matter what, I have to get back that watch. It may be related to the person who killed my mother.”

Tess was stunned.
“What... what are you saying? How can a watch be related to the person who killed your mother?”
“There’s a hidden mystery within the watch.”
Tess’s hand tightened slightly, and her expression underwent a drastic change.
Maia, seeing Tess’s stunned expression, immediately called out, “Aunt Tess? Aunt Tess?” She reached out and shook Tess
several times.
Tess snapped out of it, looked at Maia, and her expression turned serious. “Maia, since this watch is connected to the person
who killed Rosa, we must retrieve it no matter what! I support your decision. Even though Osttahl and the charity event is
dangerous, this watch is no trivial matter!”
Maia nodded. “Yes, this watch is really important to us.” As she spoke, she paid attention to Tess’s changing expression.
“Maia, I’m worried about you. I’ll accompany you to Osttahl.”
The fish is on the hook. Upon hearing Tess’s words, Maia pretended to be shocked. “Aunt Tess, what are you saying:
Tess repeated herself, “I’m really worried about you. Ostthal is not safe, but the watch must be retrieved. So, I’ve decided to
accompany you. It’s good to have someone to look out for you. I can’t feel at ease if you go alone.”
Maia quickly shook her head, stopping her. “Aunt Tess, I can handle it alone. You don’t need to worry about me.”
“No matter what you say, I can’t feel at ease. I am your aunt, and I have a reason to take care of you, and accompany you! This
matter is settled. When is the charity event?”
