Will You Marry Me, Again

Chapter 179 Rita’s Not the Culprit? “Help! I’m in the restroom! Is anyone there? Waiters!”

No matter how loud Rita shouted, there was no response. The next moment, a “click” sound echoed, and the entire restroom plunged into darkness. It was pitch—black with no trace of

light.

Rita was startled. She began pounding on the door, desperately calling for the waiters. Suddenly, several sprinklers in the restroom turned on, spraying water down.

Water poured down relentlessly, flooding the entire restroom. “Ah, waiter! Waiters! There’s water everywhere here!” “Waiters! Can you hear me? There’s someone in the restroom!”

The water fell densely and rapidly, resembling a torrential downpour. Rita couldn’t evade it at all. In no time, she was soaked like a drowned rat.

The sound of falling water became terrifying in this enclosed and dark space. She felt desperate, continuously pounding on the door, hoping someone would notice her inside.

As she relentlessly pounded the door, her palms turning bright red, suddenly, intermittent female voices echoed in the restroom. “You killed me...”

Rita heard this voice, already frightened and horrified, her face turned deathly pale.

“Mom... You killed me...”

The intermittent female voice resounded again. Rita felt her hair standing on end, and her entire body began to tremble.

“Are you Zera?” Rita’s voice trembled.

“It's me, Zera... You killed me...”

“No, | didn’t! | didn’t! It's not me!” Rita shook her head, vehemently denying it. Her body started sliding down the door.

“You're lying! It’s you!”

Rita curled up, cradling herself and keeping her head low, not daring to look around.

“No, Zera, | didn’t kill you. | just wanted to teach you a lesson. | hated you, and I’ve had murderous thoughts, but you're still my daughter. As soon as | gave the order, | immediately regretted it. | couldn’t go through with it.”

“Ah, | remember Zera loved peach rose wine the most. She would have a small glass every night before bed...” Maia sighed again. “I don’t know if she can still enjoy it.”

Rita’s expression became slightly awkward. “On such a beautiful day, why bring up Zera?” Rita’s tone carried a hint of reproach. Maia took a few more sips of the wine and then picked up another glass to offer to Rita.

“Drinking this peach rose wine just makes me think of her. Mom, take a sip. The taste is really good. No wonder Zera loved it.” Maia deliberately mentioned Zera, testing Rita’s reaction.

“| won't drink it. Get it away!” Rita was furious and looked terrified at the peach rose wine. Maia maintained the submissive expression of a dutiful daughter-in-law but she was sure Rita felt guilty and afraid.

“Mom, although you adopted Zera, your relationship with her is like that of a mother and daughter. She’s like your biological daughter. Now that she has left without a trace, and the murderer hasn’t been brought to justice, we can only reminisce.

“Mom, you had such a good relationship with her. Have a sip for Zera. Maybe if you taste it, she'll taste it too.”

Maia’s words were deeply unsettling. In an instant, the red liquid in the wine glass looked less. like wine and more like fresh blood.

Rita tried to stay calm, but her face showed her fear. Maia then handed Rita the wine.

“Here, mom, have a taste.”

“Get it away. | won't drink it! Maia, can’t you understand English?”

Rita refused, waving Maia’s hand away, unable to look at the glass.

Maia let go of the glass. It fell to the ground, shattering into pieces, and the wine splashed all over Rita’s high-end dress. “Mom...” Maia quickly approached, “Mother, are you okay?”

“Maia, look at what you've done!” Rita angrily exclaimed.

Maia lowered her head, wearing an innocent expression. “Mom, | didn’t do it on purpose. When you pushed it away, the glass slipped. | really didn’t mean to. I’m sorry, Mom. Shall we go to the restroom to clean up?”

Seeing the red wine staining Rita’s dress and legs, Maia couldn’t help but smile. Rita rushed to the restroom with sticky legs and red liquid running down. Watching Rita’s retreating figure, Maia’s lips curled upward.

“I-I was just looking for someone to rape you. Don’t you like men...? | just wanted to find some men to teach you a good lesson... B—But the next day, when | got to the pier, y-you were gone..”

Rita had been so scared that she was incoherent in explaining what she had done. Maia was looking at the monitor. Judging from Rita’s appearance, it did not look like she was lying.

It was clear that she was so scared that she was already in a trance and her face was white, she still kept denying it. butNôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

It seems that the person who killed Zera Larkin wasn’t her. Perhaps she was looking for someone to teach Zera a lesson, as she stated. Rita did not seem to know how Zera vanished from the pier, how she got to Stonebrook, or how she was killed.

If Rita did not murder Zera, she most did not send the w

of Zera being wheeled to Maia. Maia did not forget that at the end of that video, there were words about vengeance...

“Miss Maia, is there any more to ask?”

The bodyguard looked at the pondering Maia, turned off the microphone button, and asked her.

Was there any need to continue the interrogation?

Rita was no fool. If Maia asked about the video and her miscarriage, Rita would most likely become suspicious and realize that she was the one who planned everything.

The fact that Rita revealed all of these was good enough. The ultimate plan was not to let Rita notice that Maia’s amnesia was faked...

Maia frowned and shook her head.

“Make a copy of all of this for me.”

“Yes, Miss Maia.”

“Let's all head over to get the old lady out,” Maia told the bodyguards pretending to be staff. “Yes.” The bodyguards quickly got ready and followed Maia towards the restroom.

Maia pretended to be super panicked and rushed to the restroom, repeatedly knocking on the door.

“Mom? Are you in there? Mom?” She knocked on the thick door and called out to Rita.

“Maia, hurry, save me! I’m inside!” Rita immediately called for help.

Soon, a few staff members quickly opened the door. Inside was pitch black. Even though the shower had been turned off, the floor was wet.

Rita was dripping wet, her makeup smudged, looking embarrassed and funny. She had no energy to stand, just sitting on the wet floor, obviously scared.

Seeing Rita like this, Maia tried not to laugh and asked with concern, “Mom, are you okay? What happened?” When Rita saw Maia, she snapped, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and help me up!”

“Yes,” Maia said, helping Rita up with the help of the bodyguards.

As Rita left the restroom, she looked back at the dark space, shivering involuntarily.

“Mom, be careful not to catch a cold.” Maia immediately used tissues to wipe Rita.

Taking the tissues from Maia, Rita pushed her away angrily and looked at the restaurant staff with disdain. She then shouted, “Get your manager here!”

“Yes.” The staff immediately went to call the manager.

When the manager arrived, he kept apologizing to Rita, “Mrs. Rita, we’re sorry. We didn’t expect such a problem in the restroom on the second floor. We reported it for repair once before. The door can automatically close and lock.

As for why the sprinklers suddenly sprayed water, we're not sure, but we've already reported it to the facility. They'll send someone to fix it soon. We sincerely apologize for this incident.”

The manager kept apologizing to Rita.

“Do you expect everything will be fine with an apology? Look at what I’ve become now! In such a fancy restaurant, how could such a basic mistake happen? As the manager, you’re responsible!

“| don’t get why my son bought a restaurant like yours with problems even in the restroom! Achoo!” Rita sneezed several times while talking, shivering with cold. The chills got worse
