Chapter 1175
Maja and lan were both green in the field of love. lan 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 anyrules, even create rules for her. But he wasn’t sure if Maja was as committed as such.
lan 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 theRaymond Corporation’s shares and threatening his position as CEO, or the favoritism shown by theRaymond 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 inthe 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 issueneeded 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 uscommon folk.”
Maja was observing the woman’s face, noticing a hint of guilt and a trace of deep–seated love whenshe mentioned her daughter But mostly, it was resentment, resentment towards her autistic child whoheld 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, butthis time you’ve made a mistake. No matter how much money you give me, I won’t withdraw mycharges against Shawn.”
Maja seemed unaffected by her hysterical accusations. It wasn’t about the money, so they must havedone 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. Thestring seemed quite old, probably worn for many years
Boldly worn in such a place, it must have been a gift from her husbandnovelbin
Seeing Maja fall silent, Antonia sneered, “Ms Pennyleather, it’s not that i want to spoil your mood, butyou don’t stand a chance against them if you know what’s good for you, you’ll cancel Shawn’s contractand cut your losses”
Maja looked up at her and smiled
“So, Antonia, if you’re not willing to accept my good intentions, was it their idea to meet me today? Yourhusband is the agent of supermodel Daisy, who took a year off at the height of her career only to returnand start acting. She’s been quite successful in the entertainment circle. If it wasn’t for my continuousdigging. I wouldn’t have known that the popular agent is your husband. It seems he’s kept the newsabout you and your daughter under wraps all these years”
Her words hit a nerve, and the woman’s face turned ashen. Her straight back slumped a bit.
Maja gestured towards her ear, indicating for her to take off her earbud
Antonia had been wearing an earbud, communicating with the one giving her instructions.
With her hair loosely hanging down on the shoulders, she thought Maja wouldn’t notice. But Maja hadseen through her already.
Now, Maja gave her a calm, collected smile, pointing at her ear.
Slowly, Antonia removed her earbud and ended the call.
Now, it was time for the two of them to start their real negotiation.
