Chapter 280 Maya Ind?


    “Acting cute isn’t going to help you. I’m still going to teach you a lesson if you leave The Horizon Awards empty-handed!”


    Hope held her head and said yfully, “Please forgive me, Maia. | won’t tease you anymore. | swear!”


    Jennifer, who was sitting behind them, covered her mouth and smiled. Hope saw it and said, ” Maia’s going to teach you a lesson


    too if you don’t bag the Best Supporting Actress award, Jennifer!”


    Hope and Jennifer had acted in the same television drama. They had been close to each other since then.


    Hope turned to Maia and asked, “Am | right, Maia?”


    “Not at all!” Maia poked at her head again, “Jennifer did well enough by getting nominated, regardless of the result.”


    “Absolutely true. You said it, Ms. Maia!” Jennifer nodded, “I’m greatly inspired by the fact that I’m nominated. I''ll keep pushing


    myself in the future!”


    “| can’t believe you''re taking her side, Maia... You should''ve stood up for me!”


    Maia smiled, “I have to remain impartial.”


    Hope put on a pitiful expression again.


    The flight attendants started distributing pamphlets to every passenger when they were about to arrive at the destination.


    “In this brochure, you''ll find information about Maya Cove. It’s a property of HL Corporation that has been developed for tourism.


    Various facilities were developed andpleted three months ago, including the airport and resort. It isn’t open to the public yet.


    The Horizon Awards will mark its debut in the general public’s eyes.


    “You may enjoy all the facilities on the ind for free, and you''ll be checked in at the luxurious resort! Please refer to the


    pamphlet in your hand for more details. We wish you a great time on your trip and may all of you win tons of awards in the


    uing The Horizon Awards!”


    The flight attendant nodded and smiled at everyone before she turned around and left.


    “Maya Cove?” Hope muttered. She flipped through the pamphlet at once, “It sounds the same as your name, Maia.” Then, it hit


    her.


    “HL Corporation bought the whole ind and developed it for tourism... could the name have


    M


    Ind after... mmph...” M covered her mouth before she could finish.


    “| know what you''re going to say, but you’re so loud everyone on the ne could hear you.”


    Hope blinked and gestured at Maia, Then, Maia took her hand away. Hope said softly, “Did Cedric name the ind after you?”


    “He did not.”


    “How can you be so sure, Maia?”


    “| didn’t pay for the naming rights.”


    Hope was speechless for a while before continuing, “You don’t have to do that, Maia. Cedric would''ve given the entire ind to


    you in a heartbeat if you asked for it.” Maia did not


    respond to that. Instead, she started reading the pamphlet.


    Athousand fireworks couldn''t outshine your resplendence.


    Maia paused for a few seconds when she saw this particr sentence on the pamphlet. She could not quite exin it, but she


    got the feeling Cedric was trying to talk sweetly to her through the ind. Just like that, her grip on the pamphlet tightened.


    Hope muttered, “A thousand fireworks couldn''t outshine your resplendence. Wow. How romantic! This is one of the most famous


    shows on Maya Cove. The Firework Festival.


    “Also, they''re using fireworks that are both safe for the environment and have a high production value! Can we catch this show


    tonight, Maia?”


    Maia was distracted, so she had not heard what Hope said.


    “Maia?”


    “Hmm?”


    “Let''s catch the Firework Festival tonight. | think it’s cool. Also, it’s highly rmended!”


    Maia stared at the slogans and the promotional pictures before nodding. Hope was having a good time reading the pamphlet.


    She spent most of her time on film sets, reading the scripts. She had not had many chances to go on holiday. Naturally, she was


    going to seize the opportunity and have the time of her life here!


    The celebrities took turns changing their attires in the washroom when the ne was about to arrive at Maya Cove. The weather


    was hot there nearly all year round. It was about eighty Fahrenheit there. Autumn wear was not exactly the best choice.


    The airne touched down and all of them disembarked, dressed in their summer clothes. The shuttle bus took them from the


    runway to the terminal building. Hope held Maia’s arm in hers throughout the journey.


    Reporters and fans were already waiting there. Their bodyguards escorted them to a designated path the moment they rushed at


    her.


    “HL Corporation sponsored The Horizon Awards, Ms. Maia. Did Mr. Cedric do it for you?”


    “This is the first time Mr. Cedric is attending an awards event for the entertainment industry, Ms. Maia. Are you the reason behind


    it as well?”


    “Is there any possibility both of you will get married again this year, Ms. Maia? Someone took pictures of him carrying you to the


    airport. What do you have to say about that?”


    The reporters‘ questions were all rted to Cedric. Naturally, Maia was not going to entertain them. She gathered that some


    paparazzi had taken pictures of Cedric carrying her to the airport.


    They just got off the ne, so they did not have time to check the web. However, Maia was sure that if she checked, she would


    once again see herselg on the trending searches.


    Wearing a pair of sunsses, she took Hope’s hand and walked to the path under the bodyguards‘ guidance. She kept a poker


    face throughout the entire process and she had no interest in giving any answers.N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    Crappy questions brought on a crappy mood. The reporters realized Maia was not going to entertain them. So, they turned to


    Hope instead.


    “This is the first time you and Ms. Maia have appeared in public together since it was announced that you''re sisters, Ms. Hope.


    How do you feel about it?”


    “Rumor has it that you’re born out of wedlock, Ms. Hope. You only share the same father with Ms. Maia. What do you have to


    say about that?”


    the Hope merely smiled and remained quiet. She held Maia’s hand and picked up


    pace. The reporters did not get any answers. All they could do was take pictures relentlessly, make some targeted articles about


    the sisters, and upload them to the inte.


    It was a good thing the fans captured the entire process on video. Theizens who viciously attacked Maia and Hope on the


    inte were quickly shut down by the sisters‘ supporters. They rebuked their stands with the video and questioned them back. It


    shut them right up.


    Now, Maia and Hope were on the trending search as well. Theizens couldn’t have enough


    of it.


    “These reporters are insufferable. What kind of questions were those? Can they focus on the shows Starlight Entertainment has


    produced and its annual revenue, instead of our private life affairs?!”
