All Chapters of Scandal with CEO: He Ain't My Son: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Samuel shifted his gaze towards the photo that Maya was looking at. "If you don't like it, I can replace it with a new one of us together. We could take a three-person picture with Stelio.""No need; this photo is good enough to remind us of our relationship."Maya vividly remembered when this photo was taken. It was a picture of the three of them. Even though only their clothing was visible, Maya recalled an image with Mathilda. "Why don't you enlarge this photo so we can see all of it? Wouldn't that be more comfortable?""Mama, you look beautiful in that photo," Stelio complimented."Really? But there's another beautiful woman in this photo, too. Do you want to see it? I'll fetch and enlarge the photo."Maya reached for the photo when Samuel quickly touched her hand and handed her a stack of scripts. "Here's the new script from our company."Maya furrowed her brow. "What's up with this guy? It's like he's hiding something from his child. Is Samuel deliberately concealing Mathilda's

"I want--""Papa, the doctor's here!" Stelio suddenly entered.Samuel whispered something to Maya. "Get your task done first. We'll discuss compensation later. If you can't do it well, you'll face the consequences!"The doctor observes their intimate conversation."Sorry, did I arrive at an inconvenient time? You can continue being affectionate. I'll wait."Samuel distanced himself from Maya, his hand on her shoulder. "It's okay; you can check her leg. Please be gentle; I don't want my dear wife in pain."The female doctor quickly approached and started examining her leg. "Does this hurt?""A little.""Could you bring me some ice, Mr. Ren?" The doctor asked Samuel."Let me do it." Stelio offered. He knew his father wouldn't want to be ordered around."Stelio, you can sit next to your mom. I'll handle it," Samuel said, moving from his seat."Mr. Ren is very attentive to you, Ma'am. I've never seen him do all this for a woman, not even accompanying a woman during treatment. How did you m

"No. I disagree. I just want my wife." Samuel rejected the CEO's suggestion."Mr. Samuel, think about it again. If you invest in this company, I'll provide excellent resources for Maya Lin. It's also beneficial for you. We have our up-and-coming actors and actresses. They show more promise than just bringing Maya Lin, who might not be as profitable."Samuel stared sharply at the CEO. "Are you mocking my wife? Do you think my wife is worse than your other artists?""Mr. Samuel Ren, even though she's your wife, you should assess objectively. Have you not considered the public's reaction if Maya Lin moves to Jinyue Production?" The CEO fearlessly expressed his low opinion of Maya Lin."Of course, my wife is the most deserving. Didn't she receive awards? Her name is even on the rise compared to your favorite artists." Samuel, now, returned the CEO's gaze with a condescending look. "My wife doesn't fit in your company, providing poor resources that don't match Maya. Do you think I would in

"Maya, it's a risk you must take, but don't worry, I'll only act on things that bother me. But isn't it fair for what you get in return?" Samuel said with arrogance. "I also won't push you to work too hard like your other maids do.""Samuel, your actions are actually excessive. My agents have never limited the scenes or dramas I choose," Maya protested."That's because they only want to profit and see you as a worker. I'm different from them, and Maya, bad scenes will also tarnish your image," Samuel argued. He was determined to force Maya to agree with his thinking."Samuel, do you know how many married artists take roles like this? Their reputation doesn't suffer. Besides, this isn't excessive.""Maya, are you still insisting on taking this role?" Samuel grew increasingly frustrated."Yes, I've already said I won't give up until the end. No matter how you try to stand in my way to get this.""So stubborn. Alright, you can do what you want, but remember that you'll pay for it with th

"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.""Is any agency willing to offer you tens of millions of dollars to break free
