Chapter 213 You Should''ve Known


    “Where do you think you’re going? You should’ve known this day woulde the moment you killed my mother, Aunt Tess!”


    Maia’s voice was still render, but the uttered each word with venom


    “y-You knew all along “Tess knew that she had lost Maia’s trustpletely. Her escape from the venue sent a very clear


    message.


    **Why?!” Maia couldn’t figure it out. Her clutch over Tess’s cor tightened. “Tell me. Why?! Why did you kill my mother? She


    was your sister too! Your own sister!”


    “Why, you ask?” Tessughed out of nowhere, “She deserved it! Your mother deserved to die, Maia. Rosa had iting!”


    Maia pped Tess across her face.


    “You''re insane!”


    Tess looked pathetic. She fell onto the ground and burst intoughter.


    “You''ve got that right. Rosa made me insane! Do you know what the Starlight Entertainment building used to be in Prismara? It


    was the Wilson Group. And do you know who the CEO was? It was Harry Wilson! He was the love of my life!


    “| begged your mother to give him a hand when he was in a pinch. | thought she’d do it since we were sisters, but she turned me


    down. She rejected my call for help!” Tess was full of tears now. She was screaming and wailing.


    “She was already a rising star in the business world. Father doted on her and gave her full control of Starlight Entertainment. She


    was perfectly capable of helping me. Why did she have to turn me down? | begged and begged. | even got down on my knees,


    but she refused to budge!


    “| kept telling myself | shouldn’t scorn her existence. She’s my sister. | shouldn''t be jealous of her just because everyone thought


    highly of her.? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    So why wouldn''t she lend a hand when the Wilson Group was about to go belly up


    Do you think the man that | loved would have killed himself if she had helped him? Do you think he would''ve jumped off the


    building if it hadn’t been for her?


    “That’s why | killed her in the same way he died! If she could be Starlight


    Entertainment''s CEO, then so could I. I’m a Burgess too. Who gave her the right to grab all the limelight for herself? She can’t do


    that!”


    Maia loosened her grip and let Tess go. She fell backward and onto the ground. Her eyes were bloodshot and full of hate. Maia


    maintained herposure and lowered her gaze to look at


    Tess sneered and said, “Rita had a one-night stand and gave birth to Zera. She adopted her so she’d beuded as a kind


    woman with a heart of gold! You and Zera aren’tpletely unrted. She shares the same mother with you!”


    Cedric put out his cigarette and threw it into the dustbin nonchntly.


    “So what?” Cedric sneered. It was such a blood-chilling smile. Tess was startled. She did not think that he would be this


    disaffected.


    “| killed your younger sister. Don’t you hate me?”


    “Zera put Maia in harm’s way. She deserved to die.”


    Cedric looked terrifying. Tess knew that he was a dreadful man, but she had truly seen it tonight.


    “Well. | guess you owe me a thank-you too, Cedric. | took care of the bitch for you!” Tess keptughing and started tearing up.


    She was bing hysterical.


    Maia looked on as Tess lost her mind, and crouched beside her. She seemed calm, but the hate in her eyes was unmistakable.


    “Do you want my gratitude so badly? Well, here, you have it.” Maia handed her a folded piece. of paper. It had turned yellow and


    was even a little torn up. Obviously, it had existed for a long time.


    “W-What’s this?” Tess was puzzled. She took it and opened it up.


    ‘| know you have the capability to help mypany, Ms. Rosa. |’ll delete Rita’s erotic pictures if you say yes


    say yes to me. Otherwise, the scandal they would cause will take your entire family by its


    throat!"


    Tess’s hands trembled uncontrobly. She’d recognize his handwriting anywhere.


    Tess raised her head andughed, ‘It’s all lies. The man | loved and my family... All of them mean nothing!”


    The scribblings on the piece of paper were thest straw for her.


    Tess rose sharply and dashed madly at the street light. The bodyguards tried to stop her, but she had already smashed her head


    on it. Aloud thud could be heard. Then, Tess fell onto the


    ground.


    “All | want is to end my life now,” Tess pleaded, looking at Cedric. He nced at Maia without


    a word. She locked eyes with him and reached out to him.


    “Give it to me.”
