Maia quickly shouted, “Errol! Errol!”
But it was as if he hadn’t heard anything, running frantically towards the hospital’s exit. Maia was concerned that he might do
something extreme, and her expression changed.
“Stop him!”
With amand from Cedric, the bodyguards quickly caught up and stopped Errol. Maia hurriedly approached, watching as
Errol tried to break free from the guards, and asked, ” Errol, where are you going?”
Seeing Maia, Errol calmed down slightly but made no attempt to break free from the guards. Yet, he remained unresponsive, his
head drooping, showing no signs of movement.
Maia asked, “She’s still in the hospital. Why are you leaving her? Where are you going?”
Errol understood that Maia was referring to Celia. He suddenly looked up at her, his eyes red. With a single nce from Cedric,
the bodyguards immediately released Errol and stepped back.
Errol looked at Maia, gesturing, “Sis, | need to ask Aunt Tess something. | must find out from her!”
“Aunt Tess?” Maia looked at Errol in confusion. “What do you want to ask her?”
“Yesterday, Celia was in good spirits. She was smiling and talking about our life after going public, how beautiful our dream home
would be, and how wonderful our future would be. She was so full of life yesterday.
“How could she leave such a letter behind? It’s not a letter-it''s a suicide note!”
Errol’s gestures became faster, and his emotions became more agitated as he spoke, with tears. streaming down his face.
“It must be Aunt Tess. Her mood changed after Aunt Tess visited her yesterday evening! | thought Celia was tired, but the nurse
asked me to leave and check her report. | was gone for ten minutes.
“Maybe in those ten minutes, Aunt Tess said something to her, leading her to jump off the building to end it all.”
“So,
without any evidence, you want to question Aunt Tess?”
“I need to ask her if she’s the one. Is it because she wants me to marry the other girl that she treated Celia like this? Will she
harm Celia whenever things don’t go ording to her wishes? | need to find out!”
“Errol, you’re too impulsive! Even if Aunt Tess provoked Celia, pushing her to jump off the

“Besides, Celia’s death was ruled as suicide. Perhaps Aunt Tess is responsible, but she is only a contributor. There’s no way
she''ll be arrested,” Maia exined gently, looking at the emotionally distraught Errol.
Errol remained stunned for a few seconds, his shoulders slumping and nodding weakly.
“Errol, you’re exhausted. You need to rest. Celia’s funeral is in three days, and you need to apany her through her final
journey,” Maia said, taking a deep breath, her voice choking.
Errol wiped away tears, crying in pain. To prevent Errol from acting impulsively again, Cedric assigned someone to apany
him, taking care of Errol’s unstable emotions. Maia watched Errol re-enter the hospital, feeling that her brother had aged
significantly in just one night.
“Get in the car.”
The area was being cleared up, and it was a bit chaotic. Cedric held Maia’s wrist, guiding her back into the car. Once inside, the
car door closed, and the partition slowly rose.
Maia turned to look at Cedric, saying, “I’m pretending to have amnesia now, so it’s
inconvenient for me to appear in public. | hope you can check the hospital''s surveince for
me.”
“Why? Suspecting your brother?”
Maia shook her head. “Of course, | won’t suspect Errol. He has never lied since childhood. But this surveince video might be
useful. Let’s be cautious and keep what needs to be kept, so if any issues ariseter, we can go back and check. It’s better to be
safe.”
“Sure.” He nodded in agreement.
“Also, | hope you can arrange a few business trips for Aunt Tess, and let her leave Prismara for
a few days.”
“Why?”
Maia exined, “FirstlyContent is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
the employees at Starlight Entertainment have strong opinions about her. She sits in the office every day and causes trouble. If
this continues, Starlight will eventually be ruined by her. Secondly, I’m worried that Errol might impulsively confront her.”
“Okay,” he agreed.
“Also, about next Wednesday’s charity event, | remember that Osttahl is and of ouws. Are you sure there won''t be any
issues?”
Maia hadn’t forgotten about the charity event next Wednesday. It was carefully orchestrated to lure the snake out of its cave.
Everything had to be foolproof!
“We will arrange it ording to your request.” Her ns had alreadynded in his inboxst.

Watching Cedric being so confident, Maia chuckled, and said, “I didn’t know you could settle everything at a ce like Osttahl.
This is quite surprising.”
Maia was genuinely astonished, realizing she knew so little about him. Cedric raised an eyebrow, looking at her with a half—
smile, a hint of mischief in his eyes. “There are many abilities of mine you don’t know about. Want to explore some tonight,
hmm?”
Maia furrowed her delicate brows and bluntly said, “Shameless.”
Maia looked at his mischievous expression and felt like throwing her phone at him. Cedric, however, seemed indifferent. “It is all
for my wife.”
Maia was taken aback, not expecting him to see through her thoughts.
“Who''s your wife? | have nothing to do with you being shameless. Please behave yourself.”
Cedric’s lips curled slightly, and he chuckled, uttering only, “Domestic violence.”
“Domestic violence, Cedric? Who would believe that if you said it out loud?”
“Who dares not to believe?” He retorted, his tone arrogant.
Three dayster, it was Celia’s funeral. The sky drizzled sporadically, bringing a sense of
autumn.
Errol took care of Celia’s affairs. Celia’s work friends and fans gradually arrived at the funeral.
