Chapter 319 She’s Cedric’s Weakness
Her attire and the luxurious background exuded an overwhelming sense of extravagance.
“Madam, this is what you wanted.”
“Mm.” The woman extended her well–maintained hand, took the tablet handed over by her assistant, and browsed through the
videos.
At first glance, the woman appeared relatively young, looking around 40. She had already passed 50 in reality, yet her skin and
figure made her stand out among her peers and even those younger than her.
What was more terrifying was her aura, so cold yet with a hint of charm. She was Lauren Fox, the president of the Valentines
Group and the ruler of the entire Fox family. Even in her fifties, she was an extraordinary figure.
Her lips curled slightly, and her expression was terrifyingly cold. The butler standing on the side didn’t speak, just bowing his
head, waiting for Lauren to give orders.
“Cedric Larkin, truly an extraordinary existence...” She looked at the data on the tablet, her palm tightening as if she wanted to
crush it, her eyes filled with hatred.
“Heh, what your dad did to me, I will magnify that a million times on you! I will never forget the pain I suffered. Even if the traitor
is dead, how can his son be let off? James, you killed our child, and I want your son to pay with his life. Is that too much to ask?”
Lauren’s gaze was terrifying, filled with icy resentment. She glanced at the butler by her side and asked, “Is this all the
information on/Cedric?”
The butler, who had followed Lauren for many years, nodded. “Yes, only this information is available. There’s very little about
him.”
“Well, he’s a capable man. It’s a pity, but even if he’s formidable, he must pay for his father’s
actions!”
Afterward, Lauren coldly asked, “What about the information on the other person?”
“It’s on the next page.” The butler immediately responded, not daring to delay for a moment.
Then, her slender fingers slid across the tablet, looking at the information on the next page. She suddenly snorted.
“She looks exactly like that despicable woman. A face that can attract many people.” Lauren laughed. “James, you were so fond
of Rosa before. I never thought your son would fall for Rosa’s daughter. I thought he married her just for the sake of the
corporation now it seems he genuinely loves her...”

Lauren’s expression became sinister. She had despised them for nearly thirty years, grinding her teeth and lying awake all night.
“That despicable woman defeated me for more than twenty years. I thought Starlight Entertainment would fall, but her daughter
managed to revive Starlight Entertainment in just
six months!
“I thought she’d be as useless as her uncle! She’s only in her twenties now, and she’s outstanding. I absolutely cannot allow her
to continue. Otherwise she will become another
Rosa!
“Rosa’s daughter absolutely cannot stand at the peak of this business world like her. I won’t allow it!”
Lauren was furious, clenching her fist tightly and pounding the sofa’s armrest.
“Madam, who do you want to deal with first? Cedric may not be easy to handle. The current Larkin family is no longer the Larkin
family of James’s era.”
Lauren elegantly tapped on Maia’s photo, a sinister smile on her face. “As long as she dies, it will be enough to make Cedric
collapse. I can see that Cedric likes her and protects her. She is Cedric’s weakness. Dealing with her will be enough!”
Then, her fingers moved down to the section on Maia’s relationships. She frowned, her tone incredibly calm. “Nigel... Wasn’t he
the young man who confronted our lawyer in court?”
“Yes,” the butler nodded. “It’s been thoroughly investigated. Nigel is very fond of Maia and has helped her many times. He likes
Maia.”
“Likes?” Lauren chuckled. “But Maia doesn’t like him. Out of love comes hatred, and hatred can drive one mad. This person can
be of use to us.”
The butler nodded, understanding her intentions after following Lauren for many years.
“I understand. I will arrange for you to meet him. Where would you like the meeting to take place?” The butler asked respectfully.
Lauren’s expression changed slightly, and she chuckled coldly. “I have always been forthright. To express our sincerity, let’s meet
at his law firm.”
The butler hesitated momentarily and then asked in concern, “Madam, isn’t this too risky? With your identity and status, you don’t
need to go there...”
“To use him, we need enough leverage to gain his trust. My appearance is the greatest sincerity.” Lauren’s tone was cold yet
filled with charm.
The butler nodded. He knew Lauren’s position was precarious without the family’s jade

She never made a mistake. That was why dissatisfied shareholders had stayed so long.
“It’s pitiful. Nigel has been by Maia’s side for so many years. Even though he has become a famous lawyer, he still can’t compare
to Cedric. He likes Maia so much, yet he lacks a background that matches Cedric’s.
“But... as long as he has our family’s support, everything will be different!” Lauren laughed again, her words sounding
sympathetic but carrying a mocking undertone.
Her smile suddenly faded.
“James, Rosa, we want your son and daughter to suffer!” Lauren was furious, slamming the – tablet she held onto the ground.
With a resounding “bang,” the tablet shattered into pieces.
On Maya Cove, the sunlight was bright. The sea breeze, though warm, was not too dry. Maia lay on Cedric’s back, smiling.
“You’ve been carrying me for a long way...‘
