Myrtle staggered as her knees gave, and Maia quickly supported her.

“Don’t waste your time on a jerk like him. It’s just not worth it,” Mala sald calmly.

Seeing her, Maia was reminded of herself. Their situations were different, yet somehow similar.

“Paige, have someone send her and her child back home.”

Myrtle looked at her in surprise. “You...”

“Take care of your child, alright?” Maia smiled, not holding any grudges against her.

She knew the woman only did what she did out of her misplaced love for Bruno, and it was the asshole who had misled her.

“Thank you, Ms. Maia...” Myrtle nodded and asked hesitantly, “Do you think | can still act in your productions in the future? I'll take any role to support my daughter.”

“Of course.” Maia smiled.

After thanking her, Myrtle then left with Paige. Bruno was stunned by her exit. “Hey, where are you going? Don't you love me anymore? You love me, don’t you? “| love you, babe! Come back here. Hey!”

Of course, Bruno only said so because he was left with no help now. Maia shook her head. Despite his onscreen image, he was such a scumbag!

His wife left with her baby without looking back after seeing through him. The police soon arrived and took Bruno away after obtaining the surveillance footage.

Maia looked away from the man and headed toward the elevator. As she turned, however, she saw Aiken staring at her in admiration.

Unnerved, Maia backed away. “What's the matter with you?”

“You're so goddamn cool!” Aiken gave her a thumbs-up and said earnestly, “You still agree to let her act in your productions after what she did. That’s so forgiving! Maia, you’re such a wonderful person.”

His compliments were too much for Maia. “Cut it out, okay?”

“Yes, ma’am!” Aiken made a zipping motion across his lips with a smile.

Maia then instructed her employees in the lobby, “Keep this incident to yourself, all right? 1 I

As she approached Myrtle, Maia said, “The evidence was overwhelming, yet he refused to apologize. We tried to help, but he left us with no choice.

“As for 10 million dollars, it’s been stated clearly in his contract from the beginning. We have spent much inore than that on him, not counting the losses we suffered due to his scandal.

“And now he asked you to bring your newborn baby here to make a scene. Does he even care about you or your baby?” Stumped, Myrtle backed off as Maia neared her. Stopping in her tracks, Maia frowned and looked toward the door. “Show yourself, Bruno! Don’t be a coward.”

The workers and Myrtle followed her gaze.

Suddenly, Bruno stormed into the lobby while carrying a knife.

“I'm going to fucking kill you, Maia!”

As he lunged at Maia, someone tackled him to the floor.

“Seriously, Bruno? You acted in so many action films, and this is all you got?”

Pinning Bruno down, Aiken snatched his knife and sat on him. “Isn’t this knife a prop? Did you steal it?”

“Aiken?” Maia was surprised to see her. “Weren't you in a shoot in the mountains?”

“Hey, Maia. | finished with the shoot and came back last night. My agent called me this morning, wanting me to host The Quest. But she canceled it. So when | came about the job and saw this guy sneaking around, | decided to keep an eye on him.”

Maia nodded and looked toward Paige, who was still in shock. “Have you called the police?” “Yes, they are arriving soon.”

Rushing over, the security guards seized Bruno and tied him up with a belt.

“Bruno! What are you guys doing? Let him go!” Myrtle tried to stop them.

Aiken shook his head. “Mrs. Myrtle, you abandoned everything to marry Bruno at the peak of your career, but do you know what Bruno says about you behind your back? He tells everyone that you threw yourself at him and that he doesn’t find you to be... sexually attractive.”

Aiken found it hard to say those words, but it was the truth. What he said shocked Myrtle.

“You can ask anyone who worked with him, and they will tell you the same. He also flirted with the newcomers and always partied with different girls. He has no regard for you, Mrs. Myrtle. If you don’t believe me, just ask around.”

If the incident got out, it would be bad for Myrtle The employees nodded. “Yes, Ms. Maia.”

Maia thea headed toward the elevator.

Now a massive fan of Maia, Aiken quickly caught up with her. “Maia!” Aiken grinned. “You never cease to amaze me.” Maia frowned. “Why are you following me?”

Aiken caught himself and said, “Oh, yes, | almost forgot! | came to talk about hosting The Quest. Although my agent declined your offer, I’m very interested in the girl group talent show because I’ve been away from the stage for almost three years!”

Getting inside the elevator, Maia feigned a severe look and said, “Do you think we’d still be interested in you after you turned us down? What do you think we are? A third-rate company?

“Of course not! My agent turned down the offer for a food show called Taste Trek. | know she meant well because food shows are easy, but I’m more interested in talent shows as | debuted through one myself. So | plan to ask you for the job before | work on other projects.”

Aiken looked earnestly at Maia and started to promote himself. “I don’t claim to be the most talked about artist in the country, but I'm among the top ten. Besides, | love a talent show like this, let alone one produced by Starlight!”

After all, he had fallen for its CEO.

Maia asked, “So you like our productions?”

“You bet.” Aiken nodded.

“That’s great. We like you too. Your contract is ending, right? Will you consider becoming our artist?”

Aiken had been modest when he tried to promote himself just now. He was the country’s leading actor now, which was why so many entertainment companies wanted to sign him.

As Aiken was a dedicated artist, whoever got him could make a fortune!

“So you want me, huh?” Aiken let out an evil grin.

At this moment, the elevator dinged, and its doors opened. Seeing the man standing outside, Aiken’s grin froze.

“Hey, Jordan,” Maia greeted with a chuckle.

Embarrassed, Aiken chuckled and said timidly, “Dad...”
