Will You Marry Me, Again

Chapter 56 Have Her Blacklisted “I've heard about the shitty things she’s done.” After all, Maia was also in the entertainment business.

“Everyone knows she always pushes people around, but her fans turn a blind eye to it. She even bullied the rising star, Hope, and tried to steal her jobs. Their fans also often clash in trending topics.” Aiken smiled, shaking his head.

“Hope?” Maia asked. ent.sher

Having just taken over Starlight Entertainment, she made internal restructuring her top priority and never bothered to ask about artists who weren’t under her company.

“Hope Warren, the queen of TV dramas now. Several of her shows rank in the top three for annual viewership. Speaking of which, she looks a bit like you,” Aiken said matter—of-factly.

“Zera bullied her and stole her jobs?”

Aiken shrugged. “Yeah, it’s an open secret. Anyway, Hope has a very good personality and is easy to work with. I've worked with her several times.”

“Zera Larkin!” Maia muttered angrily. “You're not a fan of Hope’s, are you? Why are you getting so upset?”

Aiken saw Maia walk briskly toward the elevator and quickly went after her. “Why are you in such a hurry? | still have questions for you. Why did you ask Cedric to let Zera go?”

“She deserves something worse, doesn’t she?” Maia answered.

“Something worse? What do you plan to do to her? Blacklist her? She’s one of the Larkins!”

Not answering him, Maia went into the elevator to head down.

Aiken quickly joined her, his heart pounding. “She has to be the coolest woman ever!”

Meanwhile, in Room 508, Cedric took out his phone from the luggage delivered by the rescue team and made a call. It was quickly answered, and Baz’s apprehensive voice came through..

“I'm so sorry, sir! As soon as your mom and Ms. Zera heard about what happened to you, they left before | could stop them. Anyway, I'll be arriving at Eldertown tonight.”

Cedric said, “Have Zera blacklisted.”

Baz gasped. “Blacklisted?”

Why would anyone want their fiancee blacklisted?

Cedric said icily, “Do you have a problem with that?”This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Baz caught himself and quickly said, “Of course not, sir! I'll get it done right away.”

“Good.” Cedric hung up.

Returning to Jordan’s apartment, Maia and Aiken bumped into a worker from the building management office. “Hi, are you Ms. Maia Burgess?” he asked politely.

“Yes,” Maia said, nodding.

“Your hotel sent your luggage over.” The man handed a suitcase to Maia.

Surprised, she said, “Thank you so much!” She opened it and saw her phone, laptop, and clothes were all there. “You're welcome.” The worker nodded with a smile and left.

Maia took out her phone. Although its screen was cracked, it was still functional.

She went into the apartment and gave Buck a call.

Soon, Buck's anxious voice came through, “Finally! Do you know how worried I’ve been? | read online that you showed up in Eldertown, but | didn’t know how you were because you didn’t answer my calls.”

Maia chuckled. “I’m fine. | couldn't call you as | didn’t have my phone with me.”

“Are you hurt?” Buck asked.

“Just a minor injury. Nothing serious.”

He let out a sigh of relief. “That’s good.”

“How are things in Starlight?”

“Nigel, your brother, and your aunt called me several times and even came to the office to ask about you.“

Buck went on. “A few shareholders also asked if | had contacted you and wanted to know why you went to Eldertown. | told them it wasn’t work-related, so | wasn’t sure. As for the company, everything has been running smoothly. There’s nothing to worry about.”

He then added, “However...” “Go on.” +15 BONUS

Buck said truthfully, “Ms. Hope Warren has been coming to the office every morning since you left Prismara. She would wait for you until we finish work.”

Maia was taken aback. “Hope Warren? Why didn’t you just ask her to leave?”

“Well, | told her we didn’t know when you were coming back, but she’s as stubborn as you. Anyway, she’s not one of our artists, right? Why does she keep coming here? Is she your friend?”

“She’s my younger sister.”

“What?” Buck shouted before he caught himself and lowered his voice. “Hope Warren is your sister? How come you've never mentioned it before? | thought you only had a younger brother.”

“She’s my stepmom’s daughter.”

“Then why does she keep coming here? Not to beg mercy for her mom, | hope?”

“I've no idea. Just be nice to her, okay? And forward any important emails to me.”

Maia was puzzled about Hope’s intentions, but work was now her priority.

“lm on it.”

After she hung up, Maia texted Nigel, Errol, and Tess to tell them she was safe and sound.

She then took out her laptop but couldn't turn it on—it must have been damaged during the flood. Just as she was about to ask Jordan if she could use his computer, she turned and saw Aiken grinning at her.

“Do you need a computer? Here you go,” he said, shoving a laptop into her hands.

Seeing his mischievous smile, Maia was puzzled. What was he up

to?

“You'd better get to work.” Aiken then gently pushed her toward the guest room. “If you need anything, just let me know, okay?” Maia blinked in confusion. What was that all about?

Chapter 58 | Won't Lose You Again

“Hey, Aiken didn’t ask for free food from us, okay? He gave me 100 bucks for four quiches.”

“Yeah, he paid 100 bucks for my waffles.”

“Me too! 100 bucks!”

Several fans promptly posted the transaction records along with pictures of their food to debunk the rumors.

Soon, the video of Aiken talking to his fans by the window was uploaded as well.

Suddenly, the netizens started to comment differently.

“Holy shit, he paid so much for just a few quiches and waffles... He’s so good to his fans! You have my support, Aiken.” “Way to go, Aiken! To those who criticize him, fuck you!”

“Aiken showed up as soon as he heard his fans chanting for him. He even asked them to give the money to their family because they were the ones who prepared the food... And did you see how he told his fans that he loved them? He totally won me over!”

reason.”

Aiken sighed and said, “It’s so tough to be a star. People just attack you for no reason.” “Then get a new job.” Jordan took a bite from a waffle. “Maybe you can help me.”

“Hell no! | prefer to work somewhere safe.”

Jordan poked his hand with a fork. “You little shit!”

Seeing how close they were, Maia smiled.

At that moment, her phone vibrated. It was a text message from Cedric.

“I'm hungry, honey.”

Speechless, Maia deleted the message and put her phone aside.

Meanwhile, Cedric was staring at his meal tray in the hospital. Having not received any messages on his phone, he thought it wasn’t working and restarted it. However, there were still no replies when his phone booted up again.

Cedric frowned and looked toward a young nurse who came in pushing a cart.

“Can | borrow your phone?” Cedric said with a smile.

To get to Maia, he would even stoop to using his charms on a stranger.
