THE UNFAITHFUL MR. SCOTT NOVEL (EUGENE AND MELANIE) - Season 3 Episode 50

You’re the Sweetest

The finale came to an end as the audience’s thundering applause echoed throughout the venue. When

the camera moved toward Mala and Cedric, he immediately pulled her in for a kiss before she could

react!

Maia widened her eyes in shock. The crowd instantly went wild.

Maia shoved Cedric hard in the chest. Her face was as red as a tomato. Noticing her reaction, he

ended the kiss shortly after.

He smiled lovingly in front of the camera as Maia struggled to hold her anger in. Her hands tightened

into fists by her sides.

She knew very well that she had to put up with him. If she had hit him instinctively, the finale tonight

would just end up in disaster. She kept telling herself to wait till the end of the show. As she bit her

lower lip to vent some of her anger, she heard him say, “It hurts. That’s why I needed something sweet.

And you’re the sweetest thing.”

Maia could not help but release her fists and looked at him in surprise. She frowned as she noticed the

hurt lingering in his eyes.

“Now, I understand why you used to love sweet things.”

Maia had to deal with a less–than–ideal reality. So, eating sweet food was her only refuge.

“Isn’t it a bit too late?” Maia asked. She stood up in the midst of the noise and walked toward the

backstage.

The finale of The Quest had officially ended. The crowd was leaving under the direction of the security

personnel. It was a shame that the show did not manage to end perfectly.

Maia wanted to find out who the culprit was behind this. How could her wedding video footage and

audio messages appear at the same time, at The Quest finale?

What had gone wrong with the technical team? How could they allow something like this to happen?

She needed an explanation!

She honestly did not think that Cedric was responsible for something like this, but then again, people

could change. However, before she could pin the blame on him, she needed evidence. Maia’s heels

clicked as she stomped toward the backstage. Suddenly, she came to a halt as she could feel his

presence behind her. “The show has already ended, what else do you need from me?”

“There’s no need to look for the technical team.” Maia was surprised that he knew what she had

wanted to do.

“This happened at the very end of the show. Shouldn’t the technical team be held responsible for this?”

“The system was hacked, and they weren’t prepared to handle it.”

“What? How did you know this? You got Baz to look into it?” Maia frowned as she bombarded Cedric

with questions.

Maia had not forgotten that Baz was exceptionally skilled with computers. Buck was no match for him

as Baz had specialized training. Besides, how could Cedric’s personal assistant not have something up

his sleeve?

“Someone intentionally leaked the video and audio recordings and the culprit is also highly skilled,”

Cedric told her as they walked through a narrow pathway leading to the backstage.

“So, Baz has no leads?”

Cedric nodded.

“There are just too many who have a grudge against me. After The Quest started airing, it became

such a popular show, beating so many others in terms of viewership. Furthermore, the finale today

gained more than a few million live views.

“Starlight Entertainment gained so much profit as well as fame from the show. Almost everyone in the

industry would have an agenda against me. Victor had previously tried to lay his hands on me, who’s to

say that he wasn’t responsible for this too?

“Unfortunately, I don’t have any proof, this is all just speculation.”

Maia was frustrated. She was not willing to let go of the person who had caused her embarrassment in

front of such a huge audience. She vowed to take her revenge.

Moments later, Buck appeared as he rushed toward Maia. “Ms. Maia, I’ve been looking everywhere for

you. I just came over from the technical team. Their system was hacked. Before the show, the

technician checked the equipment several times.

They didn’t expect that the hacker would be so skillful as to be able to change everything in such a

short time.”

Maia nodded and added, “I’ve already heard of that.”

“You already knew? Did you meet someone from the technical team? Or are you actually a witch with

magical powers?” Buck teased as he glanced briefly at Cedric.

Maia narrowed her eyes at Buck and said, “If I was a witch, I’d have already apprehended the culprit,

instead of just standing here and fuming!”

If it were not for that hindrance, The Quest would have ended perfectly. Their new girl group would

have had a perfect debut!

wedding footage and audio recordings that destroyed her perfect show and

made her the talk of town.

“Ms. Maia, I think it would be quite difficult to find the culprit. He’s just too good at covering

his tracks. We don’t even know where to start. You know that, right?” Buck commented as he stole a

glance at the intimidating Cedric.

Mala just gave Buck another glare.
