Chapter 1300


    Maja had no idea how powerful her words were.


    She couldn''t see, so she didn''t notice Zoey''s pupils rapidly contract when she heard them, as if she


    had heard something unthinkable. Tears flowed even more freely.


    Maja had always been a capable boss, taking great responsibility for every employee in herpany.


    She was always willing to help, whether it was Shawn, Wilma, Elvis, Zoey, or Cornelia.


    But nothing had ever impacted Zoey as much as what Maja just said.


    "If you need to invest your emotions in something, invest them in Star Movie Group."


    Zoey clutched her chest, struggling to breathe from the pain.


    Most people, upon hearing her attitude towards Belinda, would consider her irrational, trying to buy


    affection with money.


    How could she not resist after being treated so horribly?


    No one would understand this kind of weird obsession.


    But Maja didn''t just understand. She knew it was a psychological condition.


    "Zoey?"


    Maja hadn''t heard a response for a while, unsure if Zoey was still nning to fight with Belinda.


    Zoey was hardworking and clearheaded at work, but when it came to matters of the heart, she became


    submissive.


    However, she wasn''t beyond help. She was heavily dependent on Murray before, but when he married


    Evelyn, she quickly moved on, proving that love didn''t weigh as heavily for her as family did.


    Zoey quickly wiped her tears, but no matter how much she tried, they continued to flow like a broken


    faucet.


    Her lips were split from being pped twice and her face was swollen.


    She had lost face at the top floor, and from now on, people would look at her differently.


    But she suddenly didn''t want to leave Star Movie Group, or a boss like Maja.


    She remembered something Cornelia had said recently.


    Cornelia had said, "Work your tail off for Star Movie Group and repay Ms. Pennyfeather''s kindness as


    much as possible, because she''s the one who truly wants to pull you out of the dark."


    Cornelia was now a phoenix rising from the ashes, shining in the entertainment industry.


    Zoey envied her, but also felt a deep self-loathing, because her resolve wasn''t as strong as Cornelia''s.


    She always felt adrift, tied down only by her emotions.


    Maja felt her way to where Zoey was standing, wanting to check on her.


    Zoey, worried Maja might fall, quickly came to her aid.


    "Ms. Pennyfeather, I''m fine. I know what I need to do. I''ll try not to make that call anymore, and I won''t


    see a psychologist. I''ll try to ovee this myself, even if it means shifting my emotional reliance onto


    my current boyfriend."


    Maja wanted to stop her, knowing that cing hope in someone else was giving them the power to hurt


    you.


    But considering Zoey''s current situation, if she didn''t do this, she would continue to yearn for even the


    smallest response from Belinda.


    With that in mind, it wasn''t such a bad idea to ce a small amount of emotional reliance on her


    boyfriend.


    "Alright, just take care of yourself. If you ever think of your mother, just call your boyfriend. I don''t know


    who he is, but if he ever hurts you, I hope you can leave him as decisively as you did Murray."


    Zoey silently wiped her tears again and nodded to show she understood.


    As she helped Maja leave, Belinda was still being restrained by two bodyguards. Seeing them, she


    became very agitated.


    "What the hell did you say to my daughter, you blind bitch? She''s been corrupted by yourpany.


    You''re no better!"


    Belinda had no idea she had just kicked a ho''s nest.


    Everyone on the top floor had been enjoying the show, but when Belinda said those words, the crowd


    became instantly enraged.


    A tempestuous girl threw her coffee directly at Belinda.


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "What did you say, you old hag? Ms. Pennyfeather is not someone you can insult!"


    Others quickly joined in.


    "Good riddance! She must have eaten too much crap this morning, spouting nonsense everywhere!"


    "bbering on about nothing? Do you know we can sue you? It seems everything you said about Zoey


    was just lies. Get out! Or my hand might justnd on that old face of yours!"


    Even several top executives rolled up their sleeves, looking ready to charge.


    If it weren''t for the bodyguards, Belinda would have been mobbed.
