Chapter 207 Worried That I’ll Mistreat Her?
Those who attended weren’t there to offer condolences but to compete for Celia’s substantial wealth. However, the police found
a video on Celia’s phone where she clearly stated her intention to donate all her assets to the orphanage that raised her, to
benefit more orphans.
Celia’s “family” was dissatisfied and created a scene at the funeral.
“We’re Celia’s direct relatives, why don’t we get a share?”
“Yeah, my daughter earned so much money in her lifetime. I, as her mother, should at least get a portion. I’m the one who gave
birth to her!”
“Exactly. As her dad, I should have a share, too! Hand over the money, otherwise, we won’t leave!”
Their commotion stirred a collective sigh among the onlookers. Maia shook her head at the behavior of these so–called family
members.
Errol couldn’t speak, but his anger was palpable. He wanted to rush forward, but Maia held him back.
“Errol, you know where we are. Don’t forget that!” Maia reminded Errol.
Errol nodded slightly upon hearing Maia’s words. Then Cedric gave a cold command, “Get
them out.
Soon, dozens of bodyguards entered the scene and unceremoniously began to remove the troublemakers. However, they still
showed no intention of leaving and resorted to lying on the ground, resisting.
Seeing their stubbornness, the bodyguards paired up, lifting and throwing them out. This incident caused a storm on the internet,
with everyone condemning Celia’s relatives.
After the funeral, Maia followed Cedric into the car, and he handed her a tablet.
“What’s this?”
“Surveillance footage

Maia nodded and pressed the play button. As Errol mentioned, Tess did indeed visit Celia that evening. They spent about ten
minutes alone, but what transpired during those ten minutes and what they discussed remained unknown.

Maia then returned the tablet to Cedric and said, “If Celia’s death is related to Aunt Tess, she
now has two lives on her conscience. In that case, I have even more reason to settle the score with her personally!”
Maia’s eyes reflected a clear and intense hatred.

Cedric calmly observed her. ‘Do what you want to do. I will protect you every step of the way.”
Then, Cedric started the car and drove toward Prismara Hill. Upon arriving, before reaching the halfway point to the villa, Maia
spotted the red BMW amidst the dense rain.
“Aunt Tess’s here,” she said with certainty after recognizing the license plate.
“I know.”
“You know?” Maia looked at him in surprise.
“The bodyguards reported it.”
Maia nodded and then asked, “Did you have someone keep an eye on her?” Nobody knew. Tess’s purpose for coming to
Prismara Hill, but it’s probably nothing good. It’s better to stay vigilant.
“Yes,”

Maia opened the car door and got out. She wanted to see what Aunt Tess was up to today.
As she stepped into the main hall of the villa, Aunt Tess put down the teacup in her hand and waved, smiling.
“Aunt Tess, why are you here?”
“I just returned from a business trip to Solisar. Oh well, there’s too much matters in Starlight Entertainment. I even missed Celia’s
funeral. I felt sorry for that child.”
Maia looked at Aunt Tess, who acted as if she had just relieved a heavy burden, and found it incredibly amusing. It seemed like
Starlight Entertainment couldn’t function properly without her, but little did they know that all her recent business trips were
deliberately planned.
“Aunt Tess, you’ve worked hard. It’s all my fault, I’m incapable. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have
to work so hard.”
This statement made Aunt Tess extremely satisfied.
“Maia, I won’t allow you to say such things about yourself. How could you say you’re incapable? Everything about you is

excellent. It’s me who hasn’t taken good care of you and Errol. I’m sorry to both of you,” Tess said, sighing heavily and wiping
away tears.
Watching Tess shed these crocodile tears, Maia found it hilariously absurd. Such a talented actress! It’s a pity she’s not
competing for an Oscar!
Maia shook her head, trying to play along. “Aunt Tess, don’t say that. As you said, we’re family...”.Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

“Good, Maia, I knew you’re the best. Sigh, I don’t know how Errol is doing. Is his mood a bit. better?” Tess pretended to care
about Errol.

Maia nodded, answering, “He’s much better than before but still very upset. However, I believe he’ll overcome this sadness. He
just needs time. Aunt Tess, you don’t have to worry about him.”
“Yes, Errol is a strong boy,” Tess agreed. At that moment, Cedric walked into the main hall. Tess noticed Cedric, and her
expression changed slightly. However, she maintained her smile. and nodded.
“Mr. Cedric, hello. I just finished my business trip and returned to Prismara. I was a bit worried about Maia, so I came to check on
her,” Tess said politely.
“What? Worried that I might mistreat her?” Cedric was as arrogant as always.
Tess was somewhat intimidated by Cedric’s demeanor but quickly smiled and shook her head.
“No, no. There’s no way you would mistreat Maia. You treasure Maia the most!”
Cedric snorted coldly and walked to Maia, patting her small head affectionately. “I have business to attend to.”
“Alright.” Maia smiled. “You go ahead and take care of your work. I’ll have a little chat with Aunt Tess.”
“Alright.” He nodded, kissed her forehead, and then walked to the elevator without looking at
Tess.
Tess was somewhat intimidated by his gaze, but thankfully, he didn’t pay her any attention.
After Cedric left, Tess said, “Maia, we’re leaving for Osttahl tomorrow, right? I bought some
tools.”
“Tools?” Maia was puzzled. “What tools?”

“These!” Tess immediately placed a suitcase on the coffee table, unzipping it to reveal items. like pepper spray, electric batons,
and similar self–defense tools.
“Aunt Tess, why did you buy these things?” Maia asked, confused.
“I went on a business trip to Solisar this time, right? Can you guess who I met?” Aunt Tess closed the zipper again.
“Who?”
