NovelEnglishChapter 221 I Respect Your Choice
Cedric’s brows furrowed, his expression icy. As soon as Mala entered the parking lot, the reporters were blocked by the human
wall formed by the bodyguards. At the same time, Cedric’s driver, Gilbert, had already opened the car door.
“Get in the car,” Cedric ordered.
But in the next moment, Aiken’s voice rang out, “Maia, I’m here! Hello!”
Wearing a hat and sunglasses, Aiken waved to Maia, and the car door opened.
Maia nodded at Aiken, then said to Cedric, “Thank you for your kindness, Cedric. Someone has come to pick me up. You don’t
need to trouble yourself. Our cooperation has ended, and thanks to you, we were able to catch Aunt Tess.”
Maia walked toward Aiken. After a few steps, Cedric held her slender wrist.
“We agreed that you wouldn’t resist me anymore.”
Maia was stunned for a few seconds and replied, “I don’t mean to resist you, but I have the right to choose whose car I get into.
Please let go, Cedric. There are reporters around, and it would be hard to explain if something is photographed. I don’t want to
be misunderstood, especially since we have a former relationship.”
Cedric gave a bitter smile.
“So, you choose to get into another man’s car,”
Another man? It sounded like she was having an affair. She was clearly single and free.
“Yes,” Maia answered, not wanting to say more. Choosing whose car to get into was her right in the first place.
Cedric didn’t say much, and he let go.
“I respect your choice.”
His voice was deep, but filled with loneliness. Maia was taken aback, her delicate brows furrowing. She didn’t answer and quickly
walked towards Aiken.
Cedric looked at the parked car and ordered in a cold voice, “Baz.”
“Find out whose car that is.”
“Yes,” Baz nodded.
Aiken was so excited to see Maia walking toward him. He never expected that this abduction

Aiken swaggered over to Nigel, who was sitting in the car, and said, “Did you see my smooth. acting? Look, Mala immediately
walked to me without a word!”
Nigel looked at Aiken. “Yes, you’re remarkable.”
When Mala reached Aiken, she asked, “Did Jordan send you?”
Aiken shook his head, “I came by myself, it has nothing to do with my old man. Get in the car quickly.”
Mala nodded and followed Aiken into the car. As soon as she sat down, she saw Nigel sitting in the driver’s seat.
“Nigel?” Maia looked in shock, then glanced at Aiken beside her, “The both of you?”
“Haha, Maia, are you curious about how I ended up with Nigel?” Aiken asked with excitement.
Maia nodded.
“I went to Starlight Entertainment to find my dad, didn’t I? I just happened to run into Nigel at the entrance. We hit it off instantly...
It’s amazing! We even wished we had met sooner! My dad said you were arriving at the airport this afternoon, so we thought
about coming together to pick you up.
“After all, the incident of this gentleman being ‘seduced‘ is causing a huge stir. Many
reporters will be waiting for you!
Maia was somewhat stunned, “You and Nigel hit it off instantly?”
“Yes.” Aiken nodded.
Maia looked at Nigel and said, “Nigel, I didn’t expect you to being friends with someone like Aiken! But, he is indeed very
genuine.
“Yes, genuine,” Nigel showed an embarrassed yet polite smile.

Aiken’s mouth was never quiet, he just kept going.
“Maia, those male artists are audacious. They dared to provoke you. One of the male artists even worked with me before, and
his acting skills were so terrible. How could Starlight Entertainment have such a bad artist? Now it seems that not only is his
acting bad, but his
character is also extremely rotten.”
Aiken continued his complaints, “I heard that this has been handed over to Nigel. With his

the public.”
Maia looked at Nigel and smiled, “Once again, thank you Nigel. I appreciate your hard work. Thank you, thank you!”
Maia had always been polite to Nigel like this, but Nigel didn’t want this kind of courtesy. Fortunately, he finally had the chance to
speak up.
“Maia, aren’t you tired of thanking me all the time? I’m so sick of hearing it so spare me. I’ll help you willingly with anything. You
don’t need to be so polite! We’ve known each other for so long, and you’re still treating me like a stranger. I feel really depressed
about it.” Nigel’s tone was gentle, even more so with Maia.
Before Maia could respond, Aiken said, “Exactly! Maia, why are you being polite to Nigel? This is his job. Starlight Entertainment
isn’t withholding his legal fees, right? He’s earned quite a bit from the legal fees over the past year. He must have made a
fortune! Stop being so polite!”
When Aiken spoke, the atmosphere became worse. Nigel knew his teammate wasn’t smart, but he didn’t expect him to be this
obtuse! Nigel’s expression had become somewhat stiff.
Fortunately, Maia spoke up to enlighten the situation, saying, “I want to thank Nigel. A lawyer of your pedigree costs a hefty
amount in the market, but you’ve been undercharging us. What your law firm has done for me is worth much more than the
money I paid.”
Because refused to take the complete payment amount, Maia would transfer money to
him at the end of each year, labeling it as a token of appreciation, essentially settling the payment. Maia insisted him to take it,
and Nigel had no choice but to compromise.
Aiken exclaimed, “Huh? Isn’t this using public resources for personal gain?”
Nigel was completely speechless. Maia burst into laughter..
