Chapter 236 I’ve Already Decided
Maia nodded, “Got it, Nigel, thank you.”
She remained polite to him, always being courteous.
Nigel was disappointed, but his gaze towards Maia never changed. Then, he waved with a S and left Maia’s office. He could never have her. Never in the past, not now, and it seemed
impossible in the future.
In the afternoon, Maia went to the Prismara Cemetery with Jordan. Errol had already arrived early and arranged everything.
When Maia got out of the car, Errol immediately walked up, gesturing, “Sis, I’ve chosen a burial site for Aunt Tess.”
“You’ve chosen already?”
“Yes, it’s right below Mom’s grave. Consider it… it’s like making her repent for a lifetime.” Errol’s gestures were forceful, expressing the intense resentment in his heart.
Maia had filled Errol in on everything. It made Errol even angrier than Maia, stating that he could never forgive what Tess had done. It was a well–deserved punishment.
Even today, Maia could feel his spontaneous anger.
“Errol, what about Celia’s? Is everything arranged for her as well?”
“I’ve picked a location with a magnificent view for Celia. I think… she’ll like it.”
Errol’s eyes turned slightly red, and the anger from earlier vanished instantly.
Maia consoled Errol, saying, “She loves you so much. Whatever you choose, she will definitely
like.”
Errol nodded.
Then, the three of them walked towards the cemetery. Jords
placed the flowers in front of Rosa’s tombstone, looking at the smiling photo. Seeing her smile, he smiled too.
“Mrs. Rosa, it seems like it’s been a long time since I came here to see you. How have you been all these years? Aiken, was just as you said, still unreliable. Fortunately, he doesn’t have any malicious intentions.
“Mrs. Rosa, as a mom, you can rest assured now. Maia is much more capable than you could have imagined. Starlight Entertainment is on the right track, and all the accounts have been audited with no issues. I won’t leave this time. I’ll stay in Starlight and help Maia with
whatever I can.‘

For Jordan, Rosa was not only a lifesaver but also a good friend in their struggles. Now that his friend had left, the sadness for Jordan was still palpable.
Maia looked at the tombstone, her eyes reddening, and she turned away to wipe away the tears in silence. Then, as she looked at Rosa’s photo again, a smile appeared on her face.
“Mom, both Errol and I miss you a lot. Fortunately, everything is over now. The villains have been punished, paid the price, and this is the only thing your daughter could do for you. I’ve read the letter you asked Nigel to pass on to me. I won’t let you down.” As she lowered her head, tears fell.
When she straightened up, she had regained her composure. She gently patted Errol’s shoulder.
“Errol, talk to Mom for a while.”
Errol nodded, and then he began to gesture. Meanwhile, Maia searched for Tess’s tombstone. Just as Errol had said, it was right below Rosa’s grave.
Maia looked at Tess’s photo, narrowing her eyes.
“Aunt Tess, this is my first time visiting you, and it’ll also be the last. You killed my mother, and you paid the price for it. But I’ll never forgive you. The person you killed was the one I loved, and who loved you. You single–handedly ruined everything, including your own life. You can’t blame anyone else.”
Maia’s eyes were slightly red, but her words were fierce. She placed the bouquet in front of Tess’s tombstone. When she turned around, the watch that revealed Tess’s true nature dropped in front of her grave.
After leaving the cemetery, Maia and Errol rode in Jordan’s car back to the city center. On the way, Maia felt that Errol seemed burdened with something..
“Errol?” She looked at Errol, who had been staring out the window, and called out, wrong?”
Errol shook his head. “Sis, I’m fine. I just miss Mom and Celia a lot.”
“What’s
Even his gestures seemed weak and powerless, sighing heavily with a despondent expression. Maia could understand Errol’s feelings. After all, his close aunt killed his mother and his lover.
The sense of loss in his heart was something that couldn’t be expressed in mere words. No one could have anticipated that the dramatic scenes from TV dramas would play out in reality.

“It will get better.” Maia looked out the car window, comforting Errol. “Look, it was yesterday, and today it’s sunny. Everything will be okay.”
Errol nodded but still couldn’t muster any enthusiasm. “Sis, I have a dinner tonight. Will you come with me?”
“What dinner?” Maia asked, puzzled, as she hadn’t heard Errol mention it before.
