True Tycoon Her Empire, Her Rules

Chapter 174

Just as Bagot had predicted, after the big–shot influencer posted evidence of Mae buying fake online support, the Bright Group swiftly sent out a cease and desist letter, accusing Mae of defamation.

Facing pressure from both the Bright Group and Starfall Entertainment, it looked like Mae’s agent was ready to drop her like a hot potato.

But Mae herself was blissfully unaware of the storm brewing around her.

When she was told by her agency to wrap up shooting early and head back, Mae was visibly irritated, but she managed to keep her temper in check in front of the live stream.

Soon enough, Mae packed her bags and left with her assistant in tow. As she was stepping into the car, one of the production assistants ran over to Baily and said, “Mr. Baily, Mae took the amulet with her.”

Baily’s face darkened upon hearing this. The others might not know, but he was well aware that the so–called “Protection Charm” was from Winnie.

And because of that, he had little respect for Mae. Using Winnie’s Protection Charm and then having the gall to cause trouble – if you’ve got so much nerve, why take the Charm with you at all?

But Baily knew better than to make a scene.

After all, the dark spell afflicting Mae had not been fully dealt with yet. If the production team demanded the Protection Charm back and something happened to Mae, she might turn around

and blame the show.

Besides, although the online community wasn’t exactly Mae’s biggest fan at the moment, if the production team appeared too harsh, they might be accused of lacking compassion and pushing someone to their breaking point.

“Let her keep it for now,” Baily said finally. “We’ll draw up a legal document later on to formally terminate her contract after this episode.”

After giving his instructions, Baily thought it best to pull Winnie aside to explain the situation, especially since the Protection Charm had come from her. He didn’t want Winnie to feel slighted.

However, to his surprise, Winnie didn’t seem too bothered by the fact that Mae had taken the Charm.

From what Winnie had seen over the past few days, Mae wasn’t the type to act with integrity.

“That Charm shielded her from the spell. In a couple of days, once the police wrap up their investigation and break the spell, the Charm will lose its power anyway.”

In other words, it wouldn’t be of much use to take it back.
