Paige was shaken, and fear filled her eyes. âYes, yes! But I couldnât help it. If I disagreed to that, Iâd be
taken away to jail by the police.â
Slap!
Carol slapped her face.
She viciously said, âWhat does it matter to me if you go to jail or not? What I care about is my fifty
billion! Now, you have messed it all up. What will you compensate me with? With your life?â
Paige trembled while looking at her husbandâs corpse.
She then kneeled heavily on the ground. âNo, no! Carol, Iâm your aunt. Iâm your aunt. There are not
many people left in our family. Please, donât kill me! Donât you forget, when you were small, I loved you
very much.â
Carol laughed coldly.
Then she said, âOkay, then you come with me. I want you to do one thing for me!â

It was almost ten oâclock when they arrived at the night market street.
Alex was not familiar with this place, plus it has been a few years since he last came here. He had
forgotten about this place a long time ago. However, at this hour, there were still many people who
were shopping.
Among the shoppers, most of them were young couples. One glance and one would recognize that
these are college students from the school nearby.
When Maya arrived here, her mood was particularly good. She talked a lot more than usual and
chatted all the way. She spoke about some exciting things inside the school. The two held hands while
walking in the night market, just like a couple in love.
âHey, do you still remember where we first met?â Maya suddenly asked.
âThe first time we met?â Alex scratched his head. âThe library?â
Maya shook her head and laughed lightly. âTry again.â
âThe student union meeting room?â
âNope.â
âBasketball court?â
âNope.â
âFemale bathroom?â
âScrew you!â Maya rolled her eyes and gave him a pinch. âI knew you wouldnât remember. It was here!â
Alex froze. âHere? At night market street?â
He really didnât remember anything.
Maya then pulled him toward the south side of the night market and stopped in front of a noodle shop
called âQuois Havenâ. Pointing to the plaque, she said, âHere! This is where we first met. â
Alex was stunned. This was because he still could not recall anything at all.
âDid I come here before?â
This time, Maya gave him a hard blank stare. Immediately after that, she dragged him into Quois
Haven!
âDaddy, I am here to see you!â
As soon as Maya entered, she shouted in a delicate voice.
Alex became even more surprised. Mayaâs father couldnât be here, right?
He saw that the storeâs decoration was exceptional with antique style. There were shades of bamboo
everywhere. It seemed that the owner of this store had a love for bamboo, and the environment inside
the shop was very nice, clean, and had a sense of idyllic.
Until this moment. Alex finally remembered that he seemed to have been here before.
Just at this moment.
Several customers in the store stood up and greeted Maya with enthusiasm.
âMaya, youâre finally here!â
âWeâve been waiting for you for a long time. If you didnât come sooner, we would have thought that
youâre not coming at all!â
âHappy birthday, Maya!â
