Chapter 1163


    The police station was teeming with people, a reflection of Shawn''s fame. Shawn had just struck it big,


    bing a top-tier movie star with a massive fan base.


    The scandal hit the inte like a tidal wave.


    Most shocking was the heartfelt letter written by the autistic child''s parents, which hurled Shawn into


    the eye of the storm.


    Child, vition, autism--thesebels, whenbined, carried a weight of enormous magnitude.


    His fans fervently refused to believe the allegations, but the general public was already boiling over


    with outrage,shing out at Shawn on social media tforms.


    Star Movie Group was instantly in the firing line!


    When Maja arrived at the police station, Shawn''s manager, Bertha, was already there waiting. The


    burly man was crying, his eyes red and swollen.


    "Mr. Pennyfeather!"


    Upon seeing Maja, he quickly stood up from the ground.


    "I''m sorry, Mr. Pennyfeather."


    Maja didn''t look at him. She walked straight into the police station.


    Shawn was seated on a bench, a police officer still interrogating him.


    Maja, exuding a powerful aura, was dressed in a grey women''s suit, her hair simply tied in a low


    ponytail.


    She first shook hands with the officer in charge, then ced her hand on Shawn''s shoulder.


    "Officer, until ourwyer arrives, Shawn won''t be saying anything."


    Shawn shivered. He waspletely at a loss.


    Having been in the entertainment industry for so long, he knew the implications of the current situation.


    If the scandal was not handled properly, his career would be over.


    He hung his head, listening to Maja calmly rebutting every single question from the police, until the


    officer had no choice but to wait for thewyer.


    Maja pulled Shawn aside and poured him a cup of tea.


    "From start to finish, tell me everything that happened."


    Shawn, who was naturally expressive about his feelings, was now subdued. Thankfully, he wasn''t


    incoherent from fear.


    "When I went to the little girl''s home for an ad shoot, her parents mentioned that she was a fan of mine


    and asked if I could talk to her alone. I agreed, considering the girl''s condition, and went to her room to


    give her an autograph."


    "Was the photographer not in the room?"


    "No, the parents didn''t want him to follow me into the bedroom. I was only there for a few minutes


    before going back to shoot normally."


    Maja understood the situation. It was a trap set up by the parents, using their autistic daughter as bait.


    "Mr. Pennyfeather, I''m sorry for the trouble I''ve caused thepany. You can terminate my contract."


    In such situations,panies usually cut their losses and protect their reputation. Although letting go of


    a top-tier star like Shawn was a tough call, it was necessary to save thepany''s reputation.


    For Shawn, who would be discarded, he wouldn''t stand a chance of bouncing back. The online


    Maja didn''t respond. She was contemting how to turn the situation around.


    The opponents'' tactics were indeed underhanded, especially in exploiting a child.


    Now, as the child''s parents tearfully pleaded their case in public, the public naturally expected Star


    Movie Group to provide an exnation.


    [I can''t believe Shawn is capable of such a thing!]


    [He vited an autistic child! He''s a monster! He deserves to die!]


    [No mother would exploit her own daughter, especially at the cost of ruining her child''s life!]


    Therefore, everyone believed the mother''s allegations were true, that Shawn was indeed guilty of such


    a heinous act.


    The inte was buzzing, and the atmosphere in the police station was heavy.


    Maja took a sip of the water in front of her and advised him.


    "Until this matter is resolved, stay off the inte and switch off your phone. I''ll have Bertha keep an


    eye on you. As for the police, ourwyer will handle it. Right now, it''s just the parents'' side of the story.


    Until evidence is presented, you''re still free."


    Thewyer arrived shortly. Shawn watched as Maja spoke with thewyer. Her eyes were calm and


    any publicmitments until the investigation was concluded.


    By the time they reached a consensus, it was already six in the morning.

    Maja had just left the police station in her car when it stopped at a traffic light. Another car pulled up


    next to her. It was Linda.


    With a defiant smirk, Linda rolled down her window, made a gun shape with her hand, and pretended to


    shoot in Maja''s direction before speeding off.


    These wealthy second-generation kids, who ran amok in North America, didn''t consider Maja a threat.


    Linda and a few other rich kidsughed uproariously. Someone asked her,


    "Linda, if you manage to get revenge for Judith, will you be her sister-inw?"


    Linda''s smirk disappeared, reced by a coy smile.


    "That depends on Dn''s decision."


    The car erupted intoughter as they began discussing North American affairs,pletely disregarding


    Maja.


    None of them had taken any action, considering dealing with Maja a minor issue. Now that Maja had


    crossed Linda, they decided to let Linda exact her own revenge. Crushing Maja would indirectly bring


    Linda and Dn closer together.
