Nancy was stunned for a few seconds at what Maia said. Then, her eyes widened as she said, “I had just barely written a million words on the book, Maia. Are you going for the adaptation rights already?”“I’m just thinking ahead,” Maia responded with a smile.Nancy stifled laughter and said again, “My father’s going to start crying if you took this novel’s adaptation rights away too…”“I’m sure your father cried countless times when you decided to stay at Spencer’s place. It’s no big deal if he cries once more.”“Hahaha!” That made Nancy burst out laughing.Not long after, Nancy released her video that debunked the claim that ‘Stygian Nation’ revolved its plot around the female lead. Starlight Entertainment quickly retweeted her post. Then, the other major marketing accounts retweeted it, too.However, the netizens no longer cared about the resources and screen time for the actors of the ‘Stygian Nation.’ Instead, they were interested in the fact that Maia wanted to take the adapt
Maia felt a little embarrassed with the way Nancy praised her. She simply flashed her a smile.Nancy finally knew how it felt to be floored by absolute beauty! It overwhelmed her! “It’s such a shame that you didn’t debut as an artist, Maia. The entire entertainment industry is robbed of a spectacular actress!”Maia felt embarrassed again. There was the king of jealousy in her house that she needed to think about. Debut as an actress? He’d most probably die from the sheer amount of jealousy he had to endure!…Maia headed to Starlight Entertainment after she left the gallery. She had just reached the floor where her office was and saw the people in the guest room through the glass. It was Aiken and Victoria.Ever since their relationship became public, Aiken had been bringing Victoria with him to Starlight Entertainment. After all, he knew and trusted everyone in the company. He had nothing to worry about and decided to show off his beautiful girlfriend from time to time.Victor
Aiken feigned upset and said, “My heart is pounding like crazy from the shock. Just let me kiss you, Vicky.” His tone was as pitiable as it got.Victoria patted his hands, “Be serious.”“Alrighty.” Aiken let her go and stood upright like a good boy scout.They were so intimate with each other. If any of Aiken’s fans saw them, they would’ve cried their eyes out. “I came because I designed a few maternity wear. They’re for you.” Victoria signaled for Aiken to bring over the few bags of clothes.“Is that all for me?” She was shocked. “Yeah. Cedric told me to prepare it.”“He did?” Startled, she asked.Victoria nodded and said with a smile, “He called me himself, too.”“What did he say?” She asked hastily.“He said he wanted his wife to be the most beautiful pregnant lady in the world.” Victoria covered her mouth and smiled. “I guess I’ve done what I came here to do. I’ll need to use your guest room.”“The guest room?” She was confused.Victoria was a little embarrassed and s
Sally stood up and sided with Eddie as she did not want to file for a divorce. “How could you be so superstitious just because of something a priest had said?” Sally immediately walked toward Eddie’s side. She was trying to tell him that she wanted to take his side and help him handle those difficult relatives. Unfortunately, Eddie did not need it. He even felt repulsed by her gesture as he wheeled his chair away from her. At that moment, Sally could feel that everyone around her was looking at her mockingly. Andrew had even openly insulted her. “You’re just a woman that I had played with. Who gave you the right to even attend our family meeting?” Everyone in the room continued to laugh mockingly at Sally when they heard what Andrew had said. Sally thought that Eddie would at least help her based on the fact that she was Amanda’s sister and his wife of many years.Sadly, she was wrong. Eddie did not even look at her nor allowed her to try to reap any benefits from the Fox family
“Mr. Cedric, please forgive me. I’m just a conman trying to make some money!” The conman pointed at Andrew. “He was the one who promised me 200 grand if I agreed to play the role! There’s no such thing as a prophecy. I had made it all up!” Andrew’s heartbeat quickened as he glared at the conman. “Eddie, you shouldn’t listen to nonsense from some stranger. Why would I do such a thing? He must have taken someone else’s money to try to frame me.”“I’m not lying!” The conman quickly fumbled for the check inside his pocket and passed it to Eddie. “Look, I still have the money with me.“What can a mere check prove? Do you think everyone is an idiot? Stop trying to frame me. I’m innocent!” Andrew continued to explain in a hurry.Cedric just remained silent as he looked at how shameless Andrew was. Andrew was confident that they would not be able to find any evidence to link him to this. Eddie shook his head in disappointment. It was obvious that he did not trust Andrew at all. However,
“Are you telling me that you’re the one who helped her? Since when did that bitch approach you?” Andrew had finally given up putting on an act as he sneered, “I was wondering how she could manage all this. “It seems like she slept with Cedric. I wonder how he feels using my second-hand goods?” Baz clenched his fists tightly, trying to fight the urge to punch Andrew right in the face. This was Nordic City, and he was Cedric’s assistant. He should not be causing his boss any more trouble. Baz stepped closer to Andrew threateningly. Andrew just laughed at Baz’s furious face. “My my, why the long face, Mr. Baz? I wasn’t wrong about Shelly being a second-hand good. It looks like that bitch slept with you instead of Cedric. She had used you to get Cedric's help.” “If you continue to insult her, I’ll make sure you’ll never speak again.” Baz gritted his teeth and warned. Even if he had to pay a heavy price, he would make sure to destroy Andrew. "It seems like I was right. Did you l
“Andrew, even if we fail this time, there’s always next time. As long as you make sure not to leave evidence or make a severe mistake, then we’re all good. There’s no point in just being a shareholder. We should aim for the top.“Don’t you want to be better than Eddie? Your dad had already lost to him. You shouldn’t allow him to continue winning as well.”Andrew’s face was distorted as he thought about it. He did not want to lose anymore. He wanted to be at the top and to make Eddie bow at his feet. How could he possibly lose to a handicapped person? “But Eddie’s brother is Cedric. How could we beat him?” Andrew asked.“It doesn’t matter. I’m sure Cedric has his weaknesses as well. Besides, he won’t be able to help Eddie forever. I’ve already told you that we have all the time we need. “With my help, you’ll be able to be the CEO. I’m the one who truly loves you. Not Shelly!” Sally added as she wrapped her arms around Andrew’s neck. “You’re right. You love me the most. That bit
Cedric nodded, “That’s why I gave him the address.” Eddie could not help but admire his brother’s terrifying ability. He smiled and commented, “Cedric, you’re always so meticulous and constantly a step ahead. I wonder, would you really lose all rationality for love? I could never imagine you going crazy.”“That’s the scariest part of me.” Just because he was sensible most would think that he was always calm and collected. They do not know how scary he could be if his loved ones were threatened.“Then I pray that I won’t have to witness that side of you,” Eddie said. Cedric smiled. As long as Maia was safe nothing else mattered. Even if it meant giving up his life. “I think it’s time for you to go downstairs.” The family gathering was still ongoing. Those relatives were still waiting downstairs. Eddie sighed, “I don’t want to go down and face those people. I know that I don’t have any other choice but to deal with them.” Eddie looked at the pendant in his hand. “When my fa
