On the other side of town, Maja had arrived at the university.

It was one of the top-tier universities in the nation, on par with the esteemed Solstice College. Shirley, at the tender age of thirty,

teaching at this institution, was a testament to her excellence.

Maja had her target in sight. As she saw Shirley approaching from a distance, she feigned a stomachache, clutching her belly.

Shirley was dressed in a soft, gentle manner, with shoulder-length hair and a scarf wrapped around her neck.

Her gaze lingered on Maja for a few seconds, hesitant. "Are you feeling alright?" she asked.

Maja looked up, meeting Shirley's eyes.

It seemed Shirley recognized her. Hesitating for a few seconds, she finally asked, "Aren't you Miss Maja from Star Movie Group?"

The company had been in the spotlight that year, and as its president, Maja's information had been dug up countless times.

Not to mention the rumors that had swirled around her and lan, which had made the rounds on social media.

Feeling a bit awkward, Maja remembered her distinct identity and stood upright.

"Ah, yes, that's me."

Shirley tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and offered a reserved smile.

"Ms. Pennyfeather, I saw you outside the hospital last time. I wasn’t sure if you were looking for me. I have a student at your

company; they haven't debuted yet, but they've mentioned the generous treatment and praised you several times."
