Chapter 56 Have Her Blacklisted

“I’ve heard about the shitty things she’s done.” After all, Maia was also in the entertainment business.

“Everyone knows she always pushes people around, but her fans turn a blind eye to it. She even bullied the rising star, Hope, and tried to steal her jobs. Their fans also often clash in trending topics.” Aiken smiled, shaking his head.

“Hope?” Maia asked.

Having just taken over Starlight Entertainment, she made internal restructuring her top priority and never bothered to ask about artists who weren’t under her company.

“Hope Warren, the queen of TV dramas now. Several of her shows rank in the top three for annual viewership. Speaking of which, she looks a bit like you,” Aiken said matter–of–factly.

“Zera bullied her and stole her jobs?”

Aiken shrugged. “Yeah, it’s an open secret. Anyway, Hope has a very good personality and is easy to work with. I’ve worked with her several times.”

“Zera Larkin!” Maia muttered angrily.

“You’re not a fan of Hope’s, are you? Why are you getting so upset?”

Aiken saw Maia walk briskly toward the elevator and quickly went after her. “Why are you in such a hurry? I still have questions for you. Why did you ask Cedric to let Zera go?”

“She deserves something worse, doesn’t she?” Maia answered.

“Something worse? What do you plan to do to her? Blacklist her? She’s one of the Larkins!”

Not answering him, Maia went into the elevator to head down.

Aiken quickly joined her, his heart pounding. “She has to be the coolest woman ever!”

Meanwhile, in Room 508, Cedric took out his phone from the luggage delivered by the rescue team and made a call.

It was quickly answered, and Baz’s apprehensive voice came through..

“I’m so sorry, sir! As soon as your mom and Ms. Zera heard about what happened to you, they left before I could stop them. Anyway, I’ll be arriving at Eldertown tonight.”

Cedric said, “Have Zera blacklisted.”

Baz gasped. “Blacklisted?”

Why would anyone want their fiancee blacklisted?
