Chapter 177 It’s All Because of Last Night
How was Maia supposed to answer? Should she tell Rita that she was almost killed last night? Even though it was highly likely
that Rita didn’t poison the chicken soup, her cruelty was no different.
After much thought, Maia came up with the most embarrassing yet adequate excuse. It could make Rita speechless and
embarrassed.
“It’s all because of last night... It’s all my husband’s fault. He went to work today full of energy while I suffered... and made you
wait for me for so long. I feel really guilty, Mom, please don’t be mad at me?”
Maia’s voice was soft and tender.
“No worries. You and Cedric are a loving couple. As a mother, I’m just happy. It’s my fault for being inconsiderate and disturbing
you in the morning.”
Seeing Rita’s hypocritical appearance, Maia felt disgusted. Although she hadn’t eaten breakfast, she had the urge to vomit now.
“Mom, it’s my fault...”
Since the enemy was hypocritical, she needed to be a million times more hypocritical. The play had to be executed flawlessly.
Seeing Maia apologizing repeatedly and looking so delicate, Rita felt pleased. This version of Maia was still under her control.
“Alright, let’s stop with the apologies. Cedric has already reserved the table for 24 hours. Since you’re awake, let’s go now. My
stomach is grumbling, too.”
“Okay.” Maia obediently followed Rita toward the villa’s exit.
As Rita walked out the door, her expression subtly changed. Maia narrowed her eyes. She was eager to see who would come
out on top a year and a half later!

Maia followed Rita into the luxurious car, and soon, the vehicle headed toward the restaurant.
“Maia, this restaurant is really famous. Even in high society, reservations are a must. I don’t know how Cedric secured a spot for

us the entire day. Truly, my son is remarkable.
From her words, it was hard to tell whether she praised Cedric or herself. Maia nodded gently, smiling. She didn’t refute Rita’s
words and remained agreeable the entire time.
Her behavior made Rita exceptionally pleased. Of course, Maia knew the reason for Rita’s good mood. It was because she could
once again bully her as she did in the past.
Upon reaching the restaurant and parking the car, Rita followed Maia inside. Apart from the

Pretending not to know what was going on, Maia asked, “Mother, didn’t you say this restaurant is usually crowded and requires
reservations?”
“Yeah, I’m puzzled too. What’s going on here?” Rita questioned.
As soon as she finished speaking, a manager approached, smiling, “Hello, I am the restaurant manager. Are you Mrs. Rita and
Miss Maia?”
“Yes.”
“Mr. Cedric has bought out our restaurant. Today, the restaurant is only open for you both.”.

“What did you say? My son bought this restaurant?” Rita couldn’t believe it but felt incredibly honored.
“Yes,” the manager nodded. “It happened just three hours ago.
“Then, please lead us to the seats on the second floor with a view of the river.
“Sure, this way, please.” The manager remained exceptionally polite.
Maia followed behind Rita. She hadn’t expected Cedric to book the entire restaurant. It seemed she needed to give him a
significant gift.
Once seated, the restaurant’s signature dishes started arriving at the table.
Maia sat by the window with Rita, enjoying the afternoon view of the river.

“Maia, my son is truly amazing. It’s an honor for you to be by his side,” Rita praised.
Maia felt speechless. Just like before, Rita started brainwashing her, repeatedly telling her how talented and capable her son
was. Being liked by him was the dream of many, and marrying him was her greatest fortune.
“Yes, you are right,” Maia said, picking up a roll and placing it on Rita’s plate. “Please eat more. Since Cedric bought the
restaurant, I really... don’t know what to do. I can only serve you
the dishes.”
Maia lowered her head, feeling a bit awkward. Rita laughed, “You don’t need to be so polite. We are all family!”
Rita was consistently hypocritical. If it weren’t for Maia’s ability to endure, she probably would have burst into laughter by now.

Maia nodded. Then, Rita asked, “Maia, how did you lose your memory? I heard you were kidnapped. Who kidnapped you? Why
did they kidnap you?”
Hearing Rita’s questions, Maia innocently shook her head and said, “I can’t remember. I woke up in the hospital, and everything
is a blur.”

“After waking up, your memories reverted to three years ago?”
Maia nodded. “Yes.”
“Oh, you must remember what I said and never forget it. In the Larkin family, I’m the one in charge. Although Cedric controls the
entire conglomerate, I am still his mother. You must respect me, and you have to listen to everything I say.
“Although I’m not satisfied with you, I am gradually changing my opinion. Now, I think you are an excellent child. As long as you
listen, I will treat you well. I will also bring you out often.
Rita expressed her superiority with these words, treating Maia like a pet. As long as the pet listened obediently, the owner would
take it out for a walk.
Maia was already sneering inwardly, but her smile on the surface remained gentle.
“Yes, understood. I will listen to you. Everything you say is right.”
Rita nodded repeatedly.
“Mom, I’ll go to the restroom for a moment.”
After a few dishes were served, Maia ate a bit to ease her hunger, then found an excuse to excuse herself temporarily.
