Chapter 1123


    Ian could never have anticipated that even if he remained silent, Maja would still be targeted, as it was


    a requirement that Judith had made of Dn from the very beginning.


    So when Maja''s phone was finally reachable, employees from Star Movie Group bombarded her with a


    dozen calls, all rted to thepany''s new projects.


    "Ms. Pennyfeather," one of the employees began, "Didn''t we previously take over most of Simstar


    Entertainment''s resources? But there''s a rumor that a newpany has purchased Simstar


    Entertainment and has offered several advantageous proposals to our partners. All of thepanies


    that were originally going to coborate with us have returned to Simstar Entertainment. It''s as if the


    management of Simstar Entertainment has entirely changed, everything but the name."


    Star Movie Group, though it had already swallowed quite a bit, was being stood up by its biggest


    coborators because of new capital injection into Simstar Entertainment. It was not surprising that


    these profit-chasers would return to Simstar Entertainment.


    Maja abruptly stood up, feeling a wave of dizziness.


    "Do we know which family the capital that purchased Simstar Entertainment came from?" she asked.


    "It seems to be the Sanders family."


    Hearing this, Maja froze. Compared to the Sanders, one of the wealthiest families in North America,


    Star Movie Group was a small fish in a big pond.


    The Sanders family had umted an immense amount of wealth over the years. There was a


    popr saying that if one looked down from the Sanders family''s skyscraper, almost everything they


    saw belonged to them, and all of this was in the most luxurious spot in North America.


    Maja frowned, was the Sanders family doing this to suppress her because of Judith?


    She asked Zoey, "How many coborations have we secured so far?"


    "We were supposed to have half, but with the interference of the capital backing Simstar Entertainment,


    the biggestpanies have all run back to them. We''re back down to a quarter, and everyone in the


    Everyone was frustrated at being stood up like this.


    Maja took a deep breath, knowing that this was very likely Dn''s doing. His methods were swift and


    decisive, just as Ian''s were.


    Beck was slightly nicer to her, but he undoubtedly leaned towards his younger sister.


    "Zoey, I''ming to the office soon. Prepare the documents I need to review."


    "Of course, Mr. Pennyfeather."


    Maja quickly changed her clothes and drove off.


    Upon arriving at the underground parking lot of Star Movie Group, she just got out of the car when she


    saw a man getting out of another car.

    She didn''t pay him much attention and waited for the elevator.


    Just as the elevator was about to arrive, the man suddenly pulled out a knife and lunged at her.


    Maja quickly dodged to the side, but the man was too skilled. His knife curved in mid-air and aimed at


    her chest, aiming for a lethal blow.


    Maja didn''t hesitate to fall back, avoiding the fatal blow, but the man''s second strike was aimed at her


    throat.


    Seeing that she couldn''t dodge, she grabbed a nearby gasoline can and sshed it towards the man.


    The man kicked out, sttering the gasoline over both of them.


    Maja took out a lighter, not hesitating to look at him.


    "If you attack me again, we will both die."


    The man froze, unable to believe that a woman like Maja was so ruthless and decisive, even


    considering a mutual destruction strategy.


    If Maja was just trying to negotiate, he would not hesitate to stab her. But for mutual destruction, her life


    was not worth gambling his own.


    As a killer, he had his beliefs. If he died at the hands of a woman hisdy despised, he would be seen


    as useless.


    The knife that was about to slit Maja''s throat stopped. He red at her, and for some reason, he saw


    Mr. Sanders''s aura in her.


    It must be an illusion.


    He pulled down his hat to make sure Maja didn''t see his face and hurried to leave.


    But at this crucial moment, the elevator door opened, and Zoey stepped out.


    Zoey, knowing Maja wasing today, had been eager to meet her. She didn''t expect to see Maja


    sitting in a pool of gasoline.


    Zoey''s eyes narrowed, and seeing the sharp knife in the man''s hand, she instinctively moved towards


    Maja.


    It was not to retreat to the elevator, but to protect Maja.


    Seeing this, the man didn''t hesitate to plunge the knife into Zoey''s stomach.
