Chapter 501


    Funfly quickly apologized to Maja.


    “Sorry, I didn’t recognize you. Hope you don’t mind. Coffee is on me today.”


    With a smile, she made a weing gesture, “Mr. Raymond, shall we chat over there?”


    Originally, Funfly was supposed to meet withn today to discuss a coboration. The Raymond


    Corporation was venturing into the film and television industry, and investing in a script alone wasn’t


    enough.


    But after Funfly made the invitation,n didn’t move. Instead, he turned to look at Maja.


    Yesterday, it was Samuel Today, it’s Shawn


    How many men’s attention did she want to attract?


    Maja frowned and calmly said, “I have something to do


    oter”


    What Maja felt wasn’t gentleness, but threat.


    He said, “Behave”

    Maja stopped talking instantly.


    Following Funfly,n walked towards the private room.


    As soon asn left, Maja’s face tumed cold instantly. She grabbed a tissue from the side and handed it


    to Shawn,


    “Are you okay?” she asked.


    Shawn was drenched in the smell of coffee. He shook his head, “Sorry for the scene


    At that moment, Maja deeply felt that celebrities were merely toys in the eyes of the rich.


    Then, Shawn’s phone rang. It was Tyler, announcing that the lead role had been recast


    Previously, Shawn had received a call from Tyler, telling him that he’d been cast as the lead. He


    thought this was his chance, and now he was naturally worried


    “Tyler, why the sudden recast?”


    Tyler was blunt, “It’s not me who wants to rece you. It’s the investor behind the scenes. You know


    talking. His eyes turned red, and his voice became hoarse.


    “Thanks, I got it.”


    Seeing him hang up, Maja asked, “What’s wrong?”


    Shawn gave her a bitter smile, “My role’s been recast. It’s okay, I’m used to it


    Ever since Funfly began paying attention to Shawn, almost no director dared to use him


    In fact, he was already semi–cklisted. If it wasn’t for his partnership with the Miller family, Funfly


    would have seeded.


    “Who reced you?”


    Shawn hesitated for a moment before saying, “Mr. Raymond.”


    Maja frowned


    Why wouldn deliberately make things difficult for a minor actor?


    Shawn’s phone rang again. That time, it was his agency. Now that his role had been recast, the agency


    was surely going to make a fuss.


    Shawn immediately stood up, “Penny, I’m sorry. There must be something up at the agency. I have to


    go. Can I take you out for coffee some other time?” Maja saw his anxiety and nodded.


    Before leaving. Shawn still paid the bill like a gentleman.


    Maja didn’t n to stay at the coffee shop for long. She was about to leave, but as soon as she walked


    out the door, she saw Jeff waiting for her


    Jeff held a gift bag in his hand, which seemed to be the onen wanted to give her yesterday.


    Maja frowned and tried to bypass Jeff and leave, but Jeff spoke,


    “Ms. Pennyfeather, this is from Mr. Raymond. If you don’t take it, I’ll be in a tough spot


    Jeff’s words hit Maja where it hurt.


    Maja was soft–hearted and didn’t want innocent people to be in a bind for her.


    She pursed her lips, and then reached out to take the gift.


    Jeff breathed a sigh of relief, “Mr. Raymond still has some time to talk with Ms. Darcy; are you going to


    wait for him?”


    “I have things to do.”


    Jeff didn’t push her anymore and stepped aside.


    Maja got back into her car and opened the gift box.


    Inside the box was a beautiful bracelet. Even though she wasn’t into luxury goods, she could tell that


    bracelet must have been expensive.


    to the back seat as if it was a cheap item from a roadside stall,


    –


    Whilen was still in the coffee shop, Maja immediately drove to the Raymond family’s home to


    personally urge Edith to pay her back. “You’re such a rogue, really.”


    Edith didn’t expect Maja to be so aggressive even after acquiring the shares of the Pennyfeather


    group.


    She felt like she was about to copse, but the court summons kepting


    Edith had already lost face once, and if she had to go to court again, she might lose all her dignity.


    Even Holden might have to step in She took a deep breath and ordered a check


    A full 10 million was handed over to Maja.


    Without any hesitation, Maja epted it


    “Thank you, Grandma Edith!”


    Edith couldn’t help herself and threw a water cup at Maja


    The cup hit Maja’s neck


    The spilled water was scalding, reddening Maja’s skin, but she seemed to feel no pain and put the


    check into her bag.


    Maja had figured it out, nothing was more important to her than her career.


    Since she was going to leave the Raymond family sooner orter, she had to endure that humiliation


    for at that time and wait for an opportunity to turn things


    around.
