NovelOnlineChapter 314, She Won’t Be Rash
Victoria was already feeling angry and embarrassed. After hearing what Alken said, she
exploded. She shoved Alken away from her as she steadied herself with the help of the table
next to her.
“111 was like any of the other Smiths, I wouldn’t have left that family in the first place.” She turned around and walked away with
difficulty.
Aiken looked at her retreating back as his head was filled with mixed emotions. At that
moment, Victoria’s frail frame had looked powerful to him. He immediately ran up to her and scooped her into his arms.
“You should stop trying to act tough. I’m sorry if I’ve offended you. Since I’m already involve in this incident, I might as well just
send you to the hospital. You have a set of beautiful legs, it would be a shame if you ended up limping!”
“How could you say something so mean? Put me down! Stopped trying to take advantage of mein
As Aiken and Victoria continued to bicker, Yuna left the restaurant as if nothing had happened. The minute she walked out of the
place, she saw Maia. As they studied each other, Yuna’s aura was obviously weaker than Maia’s.
Cedric quietly retreated to a conner as he continued to observe them. He wanted to see what
Maia would do next..
“Mr. Cedric, should I help out Ms. Maia? Yuna Heiden is part of the Smith family, and they’re far more powerful compared to Ms.
Maia. Even though she did not manage to fully ridicule Ms. Victoria, Ms. Victoria’s injuries were more severe than hers.” Baz
concern.
“Victoria was too reckless. I believe that Maia wouldn’t be rash.”
Baz nodded, “You’re right, but are you sure Ms. Maia will be fine on her own?”
“If she can’t even handle Yuna, then she isn’t Maia Burgess.”
Baz decided not to push the issue as he saw his boss’s confident outlook. He nodded and went back to standing by Cedric and
shifted his focus on what was going on in front of the
restaurant.
“Ms. Mala, what a coincidence.” Yuna was a high–profile person. She had managed to marry into the Smith family. It was
obvious that she was not just a simple–minded actress.
Furthermore, she had even picked on Victoria, who was also part of the Smith family even if she had chosen to leave. It was
evident that Yuna had quite a high status within the family.
“That was quite a show you pur
phoenix.” Maia’s words were sarcastic while she continued to smile brightly at Yuna,
Yuna was furious inside. Yet, she could not show it as she knew Maia commanded a high position in this industry. Moreover, she
was also wary about Cedric’s support of Maia, She would not dare to treat her the same way she did Victoria.
However, Yuna was still a fearful woman. “Of course. The phoenix is powerful, and she has always been on top. Unlike some,
who thought they had become a phoenix, yet ended up being banished. Who do you think is more pathetic?”
The person she was referring to was obviously Maia, Maia just smiled without allowing Yuna’s words to get to her, “The public
Even if the public were laughing at her divorce with Cedric, they had not forgotten that she was Rosa’s daughter and the owner
of Starlight Entertainment. Just this fact was already sufficient to make Maia better than those laughing at her misfortune.
Before giving Yuna the chance to react, Maia walked closer to Yuna and said in her ear, “Vicky took her revenge on you today. If
you ever try to pull another stunt like that, I’m sure Cedric wouldn’t let you off so easily.”
Yuna’s face fell. “What do you mean? How is Cedric Larkin involved?”
Maia continued as she stared at Yuna’s stunned face. “Didn’t the Smiths tell you? How would you explain Vicky being able to
come back to Prismara to set up her business here?
“Her business is also growing. Many artists and socialites have approached her to make their evening gowns. You think the
Smiths didn’t know about this? Why do you think they just left her to her own devices?”
“Wasn’t this because she had left the family?”
Maia smiled and asked, “Remind me again how you got to where you are?”
In other words, Maia was doubting Yuna’s intelligence. How did she manage to get married into the Smith family and secure her
position in the industry?
“What are you trying to tell me?”
“Victoria Smith is the family’s only daughter. They wouldn’t let her leave the family when they could’ve used her as a bride in an
arranged marriage to secure their power.
“However, Vicky was able to leave the Smith family unharmed and even started her own business in the same city. That’s
because there was another power at play. Someone more powerful than the Smiths.”
Before continuing, Maia lifted her hand and placed it on one of Yuna’s shoulders. “That

like that’s not at all true. Didn’t your husband tell you about this? It seems like you’re not really a part of the family after all.”
