Chapter 500
No sooner had Maja finished handling the Pennyfeather group’s files than she got a call from Shawn.
Shawn asked her to meet up in a coffee shop, and not just any coffee shop – a fancy one.
Before she headed off to the cafe, Maja had urged the court to let her and Edith face off as soon as possible. If it
was not possible, she wanted compensation, and pronto.
She was determined not to let that whole painting debacle slide.
Then she went to the coffee shop
Shawn was dressed to the nines–clearly, he’d put some effort into his appearance.
As soon as he saw Maja, he stood up
“Penny”
Maja nodded at him, but before she could get a word out, he said, “I’m game if it’s you
Shawn wasn’t the macho type he was more of a softie. His gentleness reminded Maja of someone from her past.
Memories flooded her mind, and she was momentarily lost in her thoughts..
Coincidentally, Shawn echoed a phrase used by that person from her past.
1 knew you were special the moment I laid eyes on you.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMaja was gripping her coffee cup when a hot cup of coffee was thrown directly into Shawn’s face
The coffee shop was reservation–only, so the place was devoid of commoners and paparazzi. Only the rich and
celebrities could get in. Shawn had taken off his hat and mask after entering, and at that moment the rich coffee
was slowly trickling down his cheeks
Maja turned to look at the perpetrator, an older woman.
Next to the woman was a young man who looked like he had just come of age.
Maja realized in an instant that that was the rich woman Carbl had spoken about, the CEO of Simstar
Entertainment–Funfly Darcy
Simstar Entertainment had been in the entertainment industry for over a decade and was a well–established
company that had groomed many stars
Even though Funfly prided herself on maintaining her looks, she was, after all, in her fifties and her obsession with
handsome men had left her somewhat frail. She was also quite plump with a triple chin. Upon seeing Maja, she
raised her hand as if she wanted to slap her
“You dare to touch my man?!”
Funfly didn’t recognize Maja and assumed she wasn’t anyone important
Maja swiftly grabbed Funfly’s wrist, pushed her back and Funfly staggered back a few steps, panting heavily.
But the four bodyguards Funfly had brought along just sneered at Shawn and Majal
“Shawn, looks like you haven’t learned your lesson from last time:
Hearing Funfly mention ‘last time, Shawn’s face fell. But he had no clout to stand up to Funfly
Funfly was like a sleazy middle–aged man, just in a woman’s body.
The last time she referred to was when she had someone rough Shawn up before shooting his TV series. To cover
up the injuries on his face, he had to apply heavy makeup. That made him look overly done up on screen and
attracted a lot of criticism. Even after all that time, haters were still using screenshots from that series to bash him
Shawn looked upset but also worried about Maja, so he tried to stand in front of her
Maja moved him behind her and turned to face Funfly.
Assuming Maja was just a fan of Shawn, Funfly waved her hand, “Take her away and give her a stern warning. I
want to see who else dares to harass Shawn”
Shawn was the apple of Funfly’s eyes. Once his contract with the Miller family ended, she was willing to pay any
price to get him to join Simatar Entertainment.
Before she could finish her sentence, the door of the cafe was pushed open, and lan walked in
Her face immediately changed, and she humedly greeted him.
“Mr. Raymond, right this way”

fan caught sight of Maja and Shawn in an instant and quickly strode over to them.
Funfly was taken aback but then saw lan pull Maja over, checking her thoroughly to make sure she was okay before
letting her go.
Maja looked upset and was trying to shake off lan’s hand.
Seeing this, Funfly quickly ran over with a big smile on her face
“Mr. Raymond, who may this be?”
She discreetly signaled her bodyguards to back off.
lan looked at Funfly calmly, “Ms. Darcy, you’re causing quite a scene today”
Funfly looked embarrassed, her fat cheeks quivering slightly
“Haha, I didn’t realize you were acquainted with this young lady”
lan looked at Maja, and then at Shawn across the table. His heart was in turmoil.
Although he was often harsh with Meja, it was always in private. Now, in public, he had to show her the respect she
deserved.
Otherwise, Maja might not be able to handle Funfly’s tactics in the future.
“She is my only designer.”
