Maia scanned her surroundings swiftly and sneered when she noticed nothing suspicious around them.
She thus paced toward ‘Ollie’. “You want to scare me off, huh? It’s not going to be that easy! I’m going
to beat some sense into you—”. She came to a sudden halt when Miles took out a toy air gun from his
pocket and began loading it with orange-colored bullets. Horror took over her features. “W…What are
you doing, Ollie? L-Let’s talk! We can live together peacefully, and I promise that I’ll—” “Bam!” Miles
shot at Maia’s heels.
She barely dodged the bullet and bumped into the handrail as a result, which sent numbing pain up her
arm. “Wow, you look cool dodging the bullet!” Miles imitated the way cowboys on television would blow
the smoke off the pipe and pouted. “Alas, you won’t be so lucky after this.

He fired a few more shots. One for bullying Ollie, another for taking Cedrick away and hurting Catelyn
in the process, and the last with wishes that she would remain with Cedrick forever so that they would
never break another heart again.
A total of three shots landed precisely on Maia’s body, and even though it was an air gun, it still hurt a
ton, especially with the thin layer of fabric Maia wore. “Agh!” As she attempted to dodge again, she
twisted her ankle and fell down the stairs after finally losing her balance.
“What are you doing?” Just then, Cedrick arrived home, having spotted Maia falling off the stairs as
soon as he stepped into the living room.
Although there were only three flights of stairs, she did not manage to reach out for Cedrick until after
rolling off the ground.
“Master Cedrick, Ollie… Does he hate me this much?” she demanded pathetically, appearing as
though she could suffocate at any moment.
Cedrick pursed his lips and shot an icy glance at the second floor.
Miles was once again reminded of how pale and wounded Catelyn was as soon as he saw Cedrick’s
face. He could have taught him a lesson like he did with Maia, but he realized that he did not have the
heart to and wanted to give Cedrick a chance. After all, Cedrick was his father, and they had shared
some happy moments together.
“I hate that bad woman. I won’t let you marry her!” he shouted stubbornly at Cedrick with his hands on
his hip, his voice laced with a barely noticeable sniffle.
Cedrick knew that Ollie had drastic mood swings, but he had thought that his son had recovered from
it, seeing that he appeared more obedient lately. He had not expected Ollie to do such a thing to Maia.

have died.
Cedrick had never considered himself a good man, but neither did he intend on raising his son to be a
lawless criminal.
“Get down here and apologize to Maia,” Cedrick commanded coldly.
Miles gripped the handrail tightly as he stared down at Cedrick before repeating, “I said I won’t let you
marry that bad woman. Only Big Kitty can be my mother.’ Cedrick sneered. Since when had Ollie been
given the right to determine how he lived his life? “This is your last chance,” Miles warned, his heart
throbbing with hope. “Cancel the wedding and apologize to Mommy. Otherwise… I’ll make you pay for
what you did!” “So you’re not apologizing, then? Servants! Ollie has lost his manners and challenged
his father. Bring him to the black room. He’s not to be allowed outside until he agrees to kneel before
Maia and apologize!” Furious, Cedrick’s voice was as chilling as a raging storm.
