“Maia has regained her memories. Is that information enough?” Aiken smiled smugly at Nigel. He clearly knew that he had a piece of useful information.“Are you sure? Is this reliable? Where did you get this information from?” Nigel asked Aiken eagerly as he was still in shock. “Of course, it is. Maia personally told my dad that she remembers everything.”“Your dad?” Nigel asked. “He is the CFO of Starlight Entertainment. His name is Jordan Cantrell. I’m sure you know him, right?” Nigel nodded, “I’ve heard that Maia had personally approached him to get him to come back to the company. I just didn’t expect him to be your father.” Nigel smiled. “What do you mean? I know my dad is not as handsome as I am, but he’s not that bad either. He’s quite charming for a man of his age, you know,” Aiken refuted.Nigel could only laugh at Aiken’s response. The reason why he had not expected Aiken’s father to be Jordan was because he would never have thought that someone as capable as Jordan
Cedric's brows furrowed, his expression icy. As soon as Maia entered the parking lot, the reporters were blocked by the human wall formed by the bodyguards. At the same time, Cedric's driver, Gilbert, had already opened the car door."Get in the car," Cedric ordered.But in the next moment, Aiken's voice rang out, "Maia, I'm here! Hello!"Wearing a hat and sunglasses, Aiken waved to Maia, and the car door opened. Maia nodded at Aiken, then said to Cedric, "Thank you for your kindness, Cedric. Someone has come to pick me up. You don't need to trouble yourself. Our cooperation has ended, and thanks to you, we were able to catch Aunt Tess."Maia walked toward Aiken. After a few steps, Cedric held her slender wrist."We agreed that you wouldn't resist me anymore."Maia was stunned for a few seconds and replied, "I don't mean to resist you, but I have the right to choose whose car I get into. Please let go, Cedric. There are reporters around, and it would be hard to explain if somet
"How is your character so different from your public persona, Aiken?""Well, it's all because my manager, Lorraine, has been advising me to keep quiet in public," Aiken sighed in resignation.Maia nodded, "Listen to your agent, she's absolutely right."Aiken was about to say something when suddenly there was a loud "bang," and the luxury car jumped forward a few meters."Oh my goodness! What just happened?"Seeing Aiken covering his head, Maia reached out and gently patted his back, "Don't worry, it's just a minor rear-end collision.""Just a rear-end collision?" Aiken straightened up and looked at the back. Sure enough, an off-road vehicle had collided with the rear of the luxury car.Once the car stabilized, Nigel quickly asked, "Maia, are you okay?"Maia shook her head, "I'm fine.""I'm not fine!" Aiken exclaimed, "I was really scared! Who is it? Rear-ending us in broad daylight? The speed wasn't even fast, was the driver behind daydreaming or what?"Maia laughed again. Wh
Maia took the phone, and saw several entertainment company executives gathered together. These were familiar faces. Like Aiken's boss, the owner of Celia's former entertainment company, and the swallowed owner of Nebula Entertainment.Soon, their conversation reached her ears. "Ever since Maia Burgess appeared, she's been aiming for sole dominance. If we don't show Maia her place, she'll think she's leading in the entertainment industry!""First, she swallowed up my Nebula, making me an insignificant shareholder. Next, who knows who among you she might target. Maia is really arrogant!""An immature teen, what's there to be proud of? When Rosa managed Starlight Entertainment, she still had to show me some respect. Now, she's directly setting her sights on Aiken under my management?" The speaker was Aiken's boss, speaking through gritted teeth.He continued, "She arrived in Prismara this afternoon. I tracked her movements from the airport. It's time to give her a taste." The boss of Ne
"Cedric, that has nothing to do with me. You don't need to become anything for my sake. I cannot bear nor do I want to bear such a burden."Maia smiled slightly at Cedric and spoke in a very formulaic manner, "I just want to ask if you are interested in Mykonos Studio. After all, you mentioned earlier that the CEO, Victor, has some issues with the HL Corporation. I had investigated Victor, and he owns 60% of the shares of Mykonos Studio. After I take over, I will give you 40% of the shares as a thank you for saving me today."She didn't like owing favors, especially not to him."Okay.""In that case, please wait for good news, Mr. Cedric." After saying this, Maia looked at the driver in the driver's seat and said, "Please drop me off at the next intersection."The driver quickly glanced at Cedric through the rearview mirror, seeking his opinion. Without Cedric’s approval, the driver didn't dare to agree.Maia also understood this point and looked at Cedric. "How about it? Are yo
"Sis, wait for me, let me focus on driving first!""Alright, drive safely.""Don't worry!"After hanging up the phone, Maia threw her phone onto the sofa and lazily lay down. When Hope arrived, she got up to open the door. As soon as Hope saw Maia, she immediately exclaimed, "Sis, I heard from Buck that you've regained your memory. Do you remember me now?"Maia nodded, suppressing a smile, and asked, "Buck tells you everything. Is he my personal assistant or yours?""He's definitely your personal assistant!" Hope quickly placed the things she was holding on the coffee table."Well, that makes sense. Buck can't be your personal assistant. He should at least be the underground little boyfriend, right?"Hope froze, blushing, and said, "Sis, what are you talking about? How can you tease me like this?""Did you forget you teased me just now?" Maia retorted, looking at Hope.Hope quickly burst into laughter. "Hehe, Sis, you're a mature lady, please forget what I did!""Now tell m
It was a typical example of human nature. The second you want something from someone, his instinct would be to deprive you of it. However, when you decide that you no longer want it, he would give you a truckload of it, and fill your world with it if he could.Unfortunately, by then, you no longer want anything from him. It does not matter how hard he tries. Once the moment has gone, he would never get it back. Even the moon would not be enough to win you over. “I came back so I could take revenge on the people who wronged me. Rita will never get away from me. She pushed me down the stairs and caused my miscarriage. She’ll pay for that. “What do you think Cedric’s going to think about that? Humans are sentimental at heart. Rita is still his mother when all is said and done. “He’s not going to stand idly by as I put her behind bars. That’s why we can never be together again…”Maia’s grip on the can tightened as she talked about Rita. It was all bent out of shape. She hated Rita
Hope nodded, “When we’re on set, the cast and the film crew would usually gossip about industry affairs. There were a lot of unfavorable rumors about Victor. The celebrities in his company aren’t exactly open about it, but the rumors always find a way out to us.”Hope cast her mind back to the rumors she had heard and said, “Victor mismanaged the A-list Actors’ resources. For instance, if one of them has to endorse a certain popular brand, he’d force his client to feature another actor or actress who isn’t as famous to pit them against each other. “It wasn’t a fair fight most of the time. When we pushed for details, all we had to go on were the expressions on people’s faces. They were very secretive. Maybe there’s a unwritten code of silence…”Maia blinked while listening to Hope. “Furthermore, one of my celebrity friends told me about her experience in Mykonos Studio when she was a trainee. Victor used to take advantage of her. “He even asked his secretary to tell her that he
