Chapter 1366


    "By the way, Gary," Ernest added, "Liam has returned, and he''s not doing well. Just now, news


    about him was just released. His influence haspletely hit rock bottom, and hispany is


    deliberately abandoning him. He hasn''t had a shoot for years, nor has he gone to a variety show.


    He has fallen from A-tier to D-tier."


    "He was cklisted," Gary calmlymented, "It''ll be hard for him to make aeback without the


    support of a benefactor."


    "Gary, aren''t you going to help him?" Ernest looked at Gary.


    Gary didn''t say anything. He just said, "He''s still three years away frompleting his contract. It''s


    not the right time to make a move now."


    "So does that mean you''ll help Liam?" Ernest seemed to have realized something.


    Gary looked at his younger brother indifferently and said, "That would be based on how capable he


    is. You shouldn''t get involved in this mess either." "But we are friends," Ernest sighed.


    "If a person doesn''t have the ability to stand up on their own, they''ll fail again even if you''re able to


    support him." Gary was solemn, "Currently, he''s in an awkward position since he still doesn''t have


    the ability to support himself. If he had that ability, he can still rely on his work to make himself


    famous again even if he''s a D-list artist."


    Reluctantly, Ernest had to admit that his brother''s words made sense.


    "Furthermore, that shouldn''t be done by you or me," Gary looked at his younger brother seriously


    and continued, "Someone else will do it."


    Ernest was stunned for a moment before realization dawned upon him, "Gary, do you mean Maria?"


    "Maria came to study in London for the sake of Liam. She gave up on Oxford and Cambridge and


    chose London University instead. Why do you think she did that?" Gary looked at his younger


    brother and asked.


    Ernest was really stunned by his question.


    This was the first time he seriously thought about this.


    Almost instantly, he agreed with his brother''s statement.


    Maria did it for Liam''s sake.


    For so many years, she had been hiding her feelings in the bottom of her heart. She still couldn''t


    forget Liam.


    Ernest nodded and said, "It seems that Maria can''t forget Liam. She chose London University just


    for the sake of being in the same school as him. But Gary, do you think she will help Liam?"


    "Let''s just wait and see," Gary didn''t want Ernest to take action too early, "We''re not in a hurry. If


    Liam has the ability and patience, he can ovee this. If he doesn''t, then there''s nothing we can


    do."


    It was much better for Liam to help himself than to wait for others to help him. That was definitely


    more dignified.


    "Okay, I agree."


    Meanwhile, in the room upstairs.


    Maria was ying with her phone while chatting with Celeste.


    Suddenly, she saw a tiny article in a small corner of the news.


    There was a photo. It was the figure of a person she was familiar with.


    In the photo, Liam hade out of the airport with his head down and a face filled with destion.


    In the crowd, he was alone, and there was no one to pick him up. It was like no one had seen him.


    He used to be a top artist and would be surrounded by a sea of people as soon as he got off the


    ne. He would be busy giving out signatures. Now, no one cared about him.


    He looked very lonely, but the people behind him were very lively.


    With just one nce, Maria''s fingers tightened around her phone. Her knuckles were white, and her


    eyes were a little teary.


    Her heart sank. It hurt.


    Liam had gone home.


    Could he bear the crappy situation once he got home?


    She really wanted to go back now.


    Maria sniffled and felt a little worried.


    "What''s wrong with you?" Celeste saw that Maria seemed to be acting a little bit strange, so she


    quickly asked with concern.


    Maria looked up. Her eyes were covered with tears and her eyshes were wet. She looked weak


    and sad.


    Celeste was shocked and gasped, "Maria? What''s wrong with you?"


    Maria handed her phone over to Celeste.


    Celeste looked down and saw the headline on the mobile phone.


    The headlines wrote, "Former top superstar Liam Robinson returned - in destion! Is his career


    officially over?" Seeing such news, Celeste was also stunned. She pursed her lips, scrolled down


    the article, and saw the photo.


    This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    It was the same shirt that Liam wore when they met at the airport that day. It was a photo taken on


    the day he returned home.


    She couldn''t believe her eyes.


    Four years.


    It only took four years for a person to be dragged down from the top.


    It was way too fast.


    All of this caught them off guard.


    Celeste gave the phone to Maria. She was worried about Maria, but she didn''t know how tofort


    her.


    Celeste could only sigh, "The situation is horrible now, but don''t worry too much. If he has the ability,


    he will definitely pull himself together."


    Maria took a deep breath and grabbed her phone. She subconsciously clenched her phone tighter.


    "He''ll make it."


    Although she was worried, Maria''s words were firm and strong.


    Celeste suddenly felt that Maria was really admirable. Her belief in Liam was the greatest support


    for him.


    Even when everyone was unsure if Liam still had the ability to get back on his feet, she firmly


    believed that Liam would definitely be able to do so.


    The trust alone was enough to show that Maria was different from everyone else.


    "Maria," Celeste reached out and patted her on the shoulders, "If he doesn''t know that you think that


    about him, it''ll be his loss."


    Maria pursed her lips. The color of her lips was a little pale, but her voice was still calm and


    stubborn.


    "I don''t feel upset. I did what I could. I can''t control everything. But if I want him, I have to sacrifice


    something that ordinary people can''t give. That''s why I have to work hard."


    Celeste was stunned and didn''t quite understand what Maria meant, "Wha-what do you want to


    do?"


    Maria smiled and squeezed out a wry smile, "I''m going to learn everything about him. I will enter the


    entertainment circle and strive to be his agent in three years."


    Celeste was shocked by Maria''s words.


    She was taken abackpletely.


    Maria smiled andforted her, "I caught you off guard, didn''t I? It''s true though, I''m going to


    choose a major rted to Liam and work hard. Don''t be afraid. I''m serious. I''m not going into this


    half-heartedly."


    "I''m indeed a little scared," Celeste admitted, "Your courage isn''t something that ordinary people


    have."


    "Keep this a secret for me," Maria requested.


    "Of course," Celeste promised, "I won''t tell your cousins either."


    "Thank you," Maria wrapped her arms around Celeste and rested her face on her shoulder. She


    then looked at the mark on Celeste''s neck and changed the topic, "Gary has gone too far. You have


    bruises everywhere. Does it hurt?"


    Celeste''s body stiffened instantly, "What are you looking at?" "The hickeys he nted, of course,"


    Maria grinned.
