Maja and Ian were both green in the field of love. Ian wasn’t afraid of losing the Raymond Corporation; he could

whisk her away to North America, to an underground combat pit where he could disregard any rules, even create

rules for her. But he wasn’t sure if Maja was as committed as such.

Ian could forsook everything here, but Maja couldn’t.

So, he dared not gamble on Maja’s true feelings.

As Maja got into the car, she wondered if his low spirit was due to Eric’s return, seizing 15% of the Raymond

Corporation’s shares and threatening his position as CEO, or the favoritism shown by the Raymond family towards

Eric like a knife stabbing into his heart.

Rubbing between her eyebrows, Maja wondered why Eric had to come back now, just when she was in the eye of

the storm, being hectic.

She arrived at the appointed place. The woman she was meeting was snobbish, chin up in the air, clearly in no

mood to engage in prolonged conversation with Maja.

The internet was currently a minefield of hate towards both Maja and Star Movie Group. This issue needed to be

resolved urgently.

“Antonia.”

Maja spoke politely, taking a seat opposite the woman.

“The internet says no mother would use her own kid as a pawn, but I have full confidence in my artists. Your

daughter is autistic, and you’re spoiling her reputation. Do you even feel ashamed?”

Antonia took out her phone, where it was filled with top searches about Shawn. Insults were pouring in, and

Shawn’s fans were being verbally attacked.

A top-tier star, in just one day, had fallen from grace, a brutal, bloody fall.

“Ms. Pennyfeather, if you came here to discuss this, we can just call it quits.”

The woman’s eyes were filled with contempt as she pushed her coffee away.

“Also, I don’t like coffee. I guess you, an upper-class, wouldn’t understand the joys and sorrows of us common folk.”

Maja was observing the woman’s face, noticing a hint of guilt and a trace of deep-seated love when she mentioned

her daughter. But mostly, it was resentment, resentment towards her autistic child who held her back.

“Antonia, how much did they pay you?”

Antonia stiffened, knowing she couldn’t hide anything from Maja, and scoffed.

“It’s not about money. It seems that lady was right. Ms. Pennyfeather always looks down on people, but this time

you’ve made a mistake. No matter how much money you give me, I won’t withdraw my charges against Shawn.”

Maja seemed unaffected by her hysterical accusations. It wasn’t about the money, so they must have done

something else for her.

She looked down, slowly stirring her coffee, her gaze fixed on the woman’s wrist.

There was a red string tied around the woman’s wrist, with a small gold peach blossom pendant. The string seemed

quite old, probably worn for many years.

Boldly worn in such a place, it must have been a gift from her husband.

Seeing Maja fall silent, Antonia sneered, “Ms. Pennyfeather, it’s not that I want to spoil your mood, but you don’t

stand a chance against them. If you know what’s good for you, you’ll cancel Shawn’s contract and cut your losses.”
