"Samuel, why did you do this to me? Did I agree to it? You didn't even inform me beforehand." Maya stormed into Samuel's office, knowing he'd be there on the weekend.

"Why did you walk in here? Is your leg better?" Samuel asked.

"Samuel, don't change the subject," Maya glared at him.

"Maya, you're officially my artist now. It's not wrong to officially announce that you'll be with our agency. Your old company has even officially stated that you're no longer their artist. So, what's wrong with that?" Samuel explained calmly, thinking it was not a big deal.

Maya snorted in annoyance. "Of course, it's not a big deal to you, Samuel, but you didn't even provide me with a contract copy. Is that what you consider official?"

Samuel paused and sighed. "Maya, didn't you say that—"

Maya cut off Samuel's words. "Stop with those nauseating excuses, Samuel. Our contract still isn't official. I'll consider other agencies."

    Stelio stood by the partially open door of Samuel's office. He heard his mother's sorrowful voice, which compelled him to approach. He was astonished by what he saw his mother doing."Papa, why are you making things difficult for Mama like this? Just let her do what she wants," Stelio tried to persuade Samuel. He shifted his gaze toward Maya. "Mama, please get up. Isn't your leg still hurting?""Leave it be," Maya said. "This might make Samuel Ren satisfied.""Maya, stop it! Even if you kiss my shoe, my answer won't change," Samuel said coldly.Stelio felt sad. Right now, Maya's expression looked like she was about to cry. "I have to help Mama, but convincing Papa isn't easy," Stelio thought. The young boy brainstormed and followed what Maya was doing. "Papa, I'll kneel with Mama until you grant her request."Samuel was taken aback by his son's action. "Stelio, why are you doing this? You don't even understand the real issue.""I might not understand what's really happening, but I can'

    "I'll give you 5 minutes to understand and memorize the lead actress's script," Director Wang said with a condescending tone. "Or do you need more time than that?"Maya responded to this provocative attitude calmly. She was used to being looked down upon, especially now that she had recently gained popularity using unconventional means to secure her role. Someone like Director Wang was known to be harsh on actors who used such methods. Complaining now would only worsen her standing in his eyes. "No, that's enough."Maya began to understand her script. The lead role was challenging, requiring her to control her emotions."Enough! It's time to start."Maya stepped forward to stand in front of Director Wang, who was staring intently at her. She glanced briefly at the confident young man.Maya took a deep breath. She had to perform well, especially as the main character, and she shared the same sentiments.Her initially flat expression had transformed. Her gaze seemed to hide every comple

    "No. Don't push me. If you want to go, just go. I'll find my own way home," Maya said firmly. "If something happens, especially to you, Stelio, you'll deal with it, and don't blame me.""Okay, Mama. I won't go." Stelio reluctantly gave in and stopped trying to persuade her. "Mama, don't go home alone; it's much more dangerous. I want to stay with you."Maya didn't reply and simply got into the car."Little Master, are you really okay with this?""It's okay."The car smoothly left the complex. Maya sat in the back seat with Stelio, but she either gazed outside or looked at her phone."Mama did the audition well. I've never seen a better actress than Mom.""Thank you," Maya replied briefly.Maya didn't even glance at Stelio, which made him feel sad. He must have done something to upset his mom."Mama, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you angry," Stelio said sincerely."It's okay," Maya still kept her response short.Stelio didn't know how to change this awkward atmosphere. He shouldn't

    Maya let go of the child's hand. "Don't say unreasonable things. Your presence won't make me happy. So, you don't need to say such things or promise them.""Mama, why? Why can't my presence make you happy? Why can't I promise that?"Assistant Jung immediately came over. "Young Madam, Little Master, it seems we should return soon. I have some business to attend to.""I've finished eating too. Let's go back," Maya said. She promptly left the table and walked out. Stellio wanted to follow her, but he was held back by Assistant Jung."Don't go alone. Wait until I finish paying the bill," Assistant Jung said."But Mama has already gone ahead. What if she gets lost?" Stellio worried.Assistant Jung continued to hold Stellio's hand while settling the bill. "Wait a moment. We'll catch up to her soon, and besides, the Lady is just an ordinary woman; she can't get lost."Assistant Jung finally completed the payment. He and Stellio quickly made their way to the parking lot."Why did it take you s

    "You! Are you out of your mind? I've helped you get what you wanted, and now you're doing this to me?" Samuel was furious at Maya's action of kicking him."Just because you helped me doesn't mean you can treat me like some cheap woman! Fine, I'll let it go. Samuel, I want to bring someone," Maya replied, her tone determined."Don't tell me you're bringing another actor into the same drama? Do you want your favorite companion to become your co-star so you can see them every day, and—"Maya cut off Samuel, "I don't know what you're talking about, but I want to bring my manager and other staff to work with me again.""Why do you have to bring them back? They needed to do their jobs properly. Look at your current situation. They're not even reliable.""But, my manager has helped me a lot, even lent me money when I was broke and had no jobs. It's not about the money, Samuel; it's about their sincerity. So please, let me work with them again," Maya said."Fine, but he'll be on probation. If

    "You'll find out later. What's wrong with you? Why do you look so pale? Don't worry, I won't kill you and dump your body on the side of the road," Samuel said, attempting to calm Maya, but it didn't work at all, especially with that cold tone.Samuel suddenly reached out to Maya, but she quickly dodged. "What are you going to do?" Maya looked at him suspiciously."Nothing." Samuel withdrew his hand, then turned and kept some distance from Maya. "Don't show that scowling expression. Stelio won't like it."Samuel walked ahead. Maya gazed at the man's back with a puzzled look. So far, she still couldn't understand Samuel Ren.Maya brushed off her thoughts and soon followed him to the dining room.***Stelio felt something was amiss as he watched this scene. Nevertheless, a bright smile appeared on his lips. "Papa, you should treat Mama like that forever.""Of course," Samuel replied with a gentle and warm smile.Maya, puzzled by Samuel's sudden change in behavior, was taken aback when he

    "You're a fool! How could Samuel Ren bring a woman with such terrible acting skills? Just because you won the voting results, it turned out your acting quality was truly zero." Laura delivered sharp and harsh criticism.Maya clenched her fist to restrain her anger. "Yes, I did have my shortcomings. Why didn't you show me how I should do it through practice instead of just giving theoretical advice?" Maya tried to speak to her gently.A hard punch landed directly on her back. "How dare you dictate how I should teach. I was a teacher, and every artist in Jinyue was my creation. Even the top artists never protested against me. Just because you were Samuel Ren's wife, you acted arrogantly!"Maya turned and held onto the wooden stick. "You already knew I was Samuel Ren's wife, but you still treated me rudely."This time, Maya didn't stay silent. Until now, she had to endure when someone stepped on her, and if she resisted, her career and life would be over. But now it was different.Samuel'

    "Maya Lin, we need to think about something so useless like that. I'm a man who already has a child. Why should I waste my time on them?" Samuel explained. He set down his drink and embraced Maya. "There's no need to be jealous of what that woman said."Maya released the hand that was wrapped around her roughly. "I'm not jealous. Let go of me! Aren't you supposed to take Stelio to school? It looks like his school hours are over.""Come on, come with me. We'll take him to his music practice class and then go on a date," Samuel said.Maya declined his invitation coldly. "I'm not in the mood to act like a happily married couple right now."Samuel sighed and forced Maya to turn towards him. "Maya, I'm trying to be kind to you. Why do you keep acting indifferent like this?""I already said it's useless. Samuel, there's no one here. Do we have to keep acting like a couple? I'm very tired. Go! I want to focus on reading my script."Samuel felt frustrated and left with an angry mood. Left alon

    "Do you know where Maya Lin is?" Samuel asked upon receiving a call from Manager Chen about Maya's sudden departure."No, Young Master, I think something has happened. Especially since that number is not registered. It's my fault; I should have blocked it.""Do you remember the number?" Samuel persisted, staying calm."Yes, the number..." Manager Chen mentioned the number. Samuel's face began to harden."Assistant Jung, have someone trace the location of this number. I'm sure that person is behind all this. Ask them to do it quickly," Samuel instructed his assistant.Assistant Jung began contacting someone. "Young Master, we have found its location!""Let's go there right away!" Samuel said.Assistant Jung informed the driver of the address they were heading to. "Drive fast. We need to get there quickly," Samuel ordered coldly.***Maya stared at the small bottle. She was sure it contained poison."Mama, don't drink! I beg you!" Stelio tried to rebel, but he was too small to break free

    "Maya, if something important happens, I will request permission for someone to replace you," Manager Chen said, sensing Maya's anxiety.Maya shook her head. "It's okay, it's not something important."Maya was confident that without her interference, Samuel would find Stelio. As usual, she handed her phone to Manager Chen, letting him keep it during her shoot.Maya tried to remain cheerful during the shoot and socialize with other reality show members, but her mood was off. Many thoughts raced through her mind. "Has Samuel found him? How is the child? What made him leave suddenly?""We'll take a short break, be ready for the next session."Maya immediately went to her manager. She was informed, "Maya, there's a call from an unknown number. He's been calling repeatedly.""Let me check it!"With the phone in her hand, Maya received a call from the intended person."Maya, I'm leaving for a moment!" Manager Chen said, leaving Maya.Maya nodded, bracing herself to answer it. "Hello.""Oh,

    Stelio's mouth dropped open wide as he read the name on the tombstone. Marion Lin Ren. "This person has a middle name that's Mama's surname and also Ren. Could there be a connection to the Ren family?"Things were becoming clearer for Stelio, especially after Maya's statement earlier. However, a part of him found it hard to believe. Numerous questions filled Stelio's mind.The small man looked at a photo of a baby repeatedly touched by Maya. Unconsciously, he felt a twinge of envy. Stelio turned around, his mind filled with complexity and headed home.Someone suddenly tapped his shoulder. Stelio's body jerked in surprise. He turned hesitantly, fearing it might be Mama."Little Master Stelio, it's time to go home," Stelio felt relieved as the chauffeur approached.***"Papa, do you have another child?" Stelio couldn't bear not to know. Samuel, focused on typing something shifted his gaze to Stelio. "No. Don't you know you're my only son?""Is Papa sure there's no other child with the l

    "Why can't I open it? Did Samuel take the child home?" Maya said. This morning, she mustered the courage to meet Stelio after the heated argument."Excuse me, Madam. Is there anything I can help you with?" A neatly uniformed hotel employee approached Maya."Do you know the guest staying in this room?""The guest in this room checked out last night. Is there anything else?" the woman asked politely."No." Maya felt a bit relieved. Stelio must be getting better care in S city now.***A few days later, Maya had resolved her drama. She decided to return to S city. "Manager Chen, is there any schedule after this?""No. Even the schedules for this month, including both advertisements and dramas, have all been canceled," Manager Chen replied."What? Why suddenly? Isn't my popularity rising now? Has the company not assigned any projects to me?""No. I also don't know what happened. Maya, did you perhaps offend CEO Ren?"Maya didn't answer. Manager Chen quickly interpreted her silence. "Didn't

    Stelio faced numerous negative comments, and even haters began resorting to cruel actions like throwing rotten eggs at him when he met fans. Maya couldn't stop it in time. She could see Stelio's displeasure, but a professional smile remained on his lips as fans expressed concern. "Don't worry, I'm fine. I just need to clean up."However, it wasn't as simple as that because Stelio's skin turned red. It seemed the eggs were laced with something causing skin irritation. Luckily, Stelio had completed his part. Maya couldn't bear to see this anymore."Stelio, you better quit after this!" Maya said sternly when they were in the room."No, Mama, I--""I can't take it anymore. You're always getting into trouble, and now your image is tarnished in the public eye. Plus, you have a lot of anti-fans; this will only reflect badly on me!""Mama, don't worry about it. Papa can handle all the internet news and annoying people--"Maya frustratedly cut Stelio off. "Enough! I don't want to hear it. How

    Maya initially ran the shoot smoothly, but in a few days, everything changed. When the child suddenly arrived."Director, what's this? Why did the plot in the script change so drastically? Moreover, you've added a child character?" Maya protested about what was happening. She intentionally spoke privately with the Director."Maya, this isn't a drastic change. The writer just added it. Some scenes support it. Besides, we can capitalize on your popularity for this drama when it airs."Maya still suspected something. "Director, did my husband meet you and provide a significant investment with the condition that the story is altered to include a child?""Nothing like that happened. I chose to include it myself. Maya Lin, you don't need to worry about this. Just focus on acting. It should be easy for you to interact since he's your son, right? Don't complain too much; just do what's been determined."Maya left feeling disappointed. She was very sure that Samuel was behind all of this."Mam

    Samuel gave flowers to Maya and Stelio. "Congratulations on completing this drama shoot!""Thank you, Papa." Stelio smiled happily.The crew and actors involved began celebrating with group photos."As a celebration, I'll treat all of you to a restaurant," Samuel announced, a statement that both actors and crew eagerly anticipated. "Come on, let's head to the restaurant I've booked right away."Everyone started getting ready. Samuel stopped Stelio, who was about to follow Maya and Manager Chen. "Stelio, you'll be in my car. There's something I want to talk to you about."Stelio looked at Samuel with confusion but still got into the car. During the journey, Samuel immediately posed a question."Are you close to Mike? What kind of relationship do you two have?" Samuel asked."Papa, didn't you want me to separate them? I don't have any relationship with him other than this," Stelio calmly replied."Are you sure that's all? Mike hasn't done anything wrong to you, right?"Stelio hesitated

    "Stop looking for excuses. I know you're just talking nonsense to leave this place," Samuel said, not intending to let go of Maya."Samuel, can't you use your eyes properly? It's so obvious, but you didn't see it. Come on, we need to go to the eye doctor!" Maya said irritably.Stelio observed his parents arguing. He then shifted his gaze towards the door, his brow furrowed as if contemplating something.***Days passed, and Stelio's body slowly began to recover. He insisted on resuming shooting. Samuel was still concerned about his condition. "Are you sure you're feeling better?""Yes.""Alright. If that's what you want. Stelio, starting tomorrow, you'll have a guard to watch over you," Samuel informed his son.Stelio disagreed with Samuel's decision. "Why do I need a guard? Wouldn't it be safer if I'm with Mama? Dad, those guards could be one of the bad people like what happened at the party.""This time, I've chosen more carefully. Being with Maya is not too safe; look at yourself n

    "Did Boss instruct you to do this? If anything happens to him, you'll know what we can do. Be aware, never touch the child recklessly," the person on the phone warned.The call ended, leaving Mike feeling anxious. Now, he had to ensure the child was okay to save himself. Mike immediately contacted someone he trusted to handle the situation.***"What the kid ate, I also had the same menu. If something's wrong, I would have experienced it too," Maya insisted."No, that's not necessarily true. Maya, you've always been careless about these things. Someone must have tampered with Stelio's food to harm him. Who's the lunatic daring enough to hurt a child?" Samuel felt frustrated."What about his condition now?""Lucky that the doctors could handle it, but Stelio hasn't woken up yet.""Samuel, you better reconsider your decision. Now you know the outside world is too harsh for a child. It's better for him to focus on school and play rather than pursuing a career as an artist like this!""I
