StarNovelChapter 395
Miles could hear his heart shattering into pieces as rage burned within him. He wants me to kneel and
apologize to that woman? In his dreams!’
Silence fell over the house once Miles was taken to the black room.
Maia suppressed the resentment boiling within her and got up elegantly from the ground.” Cedrick, I…
think Ollie probably didn’t do that on purpose. He just can’t accept the fact that we are getting married,
so that’s why…”
“If you dare tell Aunt Janice about this, I’ll make you regret that you were ever born,” he snarled
threateningly at the mention of marriage. He had wanted to settle the incident peacefully with Maia
when he woke up that morning, but Janice coincidentally came to visit at the time. When she saw the
mess on the ground and watched Maia run out of Cedrick’s room in tears, she instantly realized what

and demanded justice from Cedrick.
Cedrick did not intend on explaining himself. Although he was downright wasted and drunk, his body’s
reaction was undeceiving, and he could tell that he had not done anything with Maia the night before
when he went to shower.
It was yet another Maia’s trick, and she stood by it. When Cedrick mentioned that he had called off their
engagement, Janice was so shocked that she fell unconscious. When she finally woke up, she insisted
that the two get married to one another. She was as pale as the sheet on the bed she was laying on
and could not stop coughing as she spoke. Even the doctor had to stand by anxiously while monitoring
her condition.
Since the situation had gotten out of hand, Cedrick had no other choice but to eventually compromise.
The only thing he did not expect was how much Ollie hated Maia.
In the past, even though he did not like her, he never embarrassed her in public as Ollie was never an
aggressive child.
Maia’s features stiffened as she tried to grab his arm. “Cedrick, Aunt Janice never approved of your
relationship with Catelyn. I’ll take good care of her once we get married.” He pulled his arm away from
her. “If you keep playing tricks behind my back and I find out about it, you won’t enjoy the wedding you
are about to have.”
Maia forced a smile. “I’ll behave. I promise.”
To ease the tension, Maia looked away and noticed a delicately wrapped black box on the coffee table.
She had not seen it before, and when she went to open it, an elegant, blinding ring came into sight.
The diamonds at the center were arranged in the shape of fireworks, which made it seem absolutely
stunning.
“What a beautiful ring…” She smiled at Cedrick as she imagined their wedding. “Is this for me? I like it

She tried it on her ring finger as she spoke, but the ring was stuck at the joint.
“Cedrick, the ring is too small. You’ll need to have it modified…”
Cedrick finished a cigarette expressionlessly, and as his face was shrouded by the smoke, he growled,
“Take it off!”
Stunned, she stammered, “W—What?” Without the slightest trace of affection on his face, he repeated,
“This ring isn’t for you.” “Who else can it be for?” The smile on her face fell apart, and jealousy filled her
heart as she thought of one possibility. ‘Can this be for that b*tch, Catelyn?’ she hissed internally. ‘I
thought they broke up! Why is he getting her a ring?!’
Under his intimidating presence, Maia had no choice but to remove the ring. She tossed the ring back
into the black box out of frustration, but it bounced off the box and the coffee table because of the force
and fell onto the marble flooring,
