The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 231 Are You Sure?

“Yes, I agree that her fan base is important, but ultimately as an actress her acting abilities and work are what’s most important. Hope can’t stay single forever, and she has never promised that she wouldn’t date or get married.

“She’s only human. If her fans decided to leave just because she’s dating someone, then those aren’t her true fans. Besides, there are other superstars in the industry who are dating as well. So, why worry?”

Buck nodded. “Ms. Maia, there’s still another problem.”

“You’re worried about your family?” Maia asked directly.

Buck was taken aback by her candor before nodding slowly.

“I’m grateful to you for providing me with a job. I love this job and I’ve worked hard to be able to afford a small apartment on my own. However, how could I ask Hope to live in such a small space with me? There’s nothing that I could give her.

“Moreover, my foster parents have never stopped trying to extort money from me. If they find out that my girlfriend is a well–known actress, they will definitely ask for more money. I’d never allow them to tarnish Hope’s reputation in public.”

Buck knew that his foster parents would not hesitate to destroy Hope’s reputation if it meant that they would be able to obtain more money.

Maia only frowned as she listened to Buck.

“I’m not supposed to be involved in your affairs, but if you think that you will only hurt her, I suggest that you stay away from her. However, let me warn you, if you choose to do so, there won’t be any turning back.”
