The police station was teeming with people, a reflection of Shawn’s fame. Shawn had just struck it big, becoming a
top-tier movie star with a massive fan base.
The scandal hit the internet like a tidal wave.
Most shocking was the heartfelt letter written by the autistic child’s parents, which hurled Shawn into the eye of the
storm.
Child, violation, autism–these labels, when combined, carried a weight of enormous magnitude.
His fans fervently refused to believe the allegations, but the general public was already boiling over with outrage,
lashing out at Shawn on social media platforms.
Star Movie Group was instantly in the firing line!
When Maja arrived at the police station, Shawn’s manager, Bertha, was already there waiting. The burly man was
crying, his eyes red and swollen.

Upon seeing Maja, he quickly stood up from the ground.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Pennyfeather.”
Maja didn’t look at him. She walked straight into the police station.
Shawn was seated on a bench, a police officer still interrogating him.
Maja, exuding a powerful aura, was dressed in a grey women’s suit, her hair simply tied in a low ponytail.
She first shook hands with the officer in charge, then placed her hand on Shawn’s shoulder.
“Officer, until our lawyer arrives, Shawn won’t be saying anything.”
Shawn shivered. He was completely at a loss.
Having been in the entertainment industry for so long, he knew the implications of the current situation. If the
scandal was not handled properly, his career would be over.
He hung his head, listening to Maja calmly rebutting every single question from the police, until the officer had no
choice but to wait for the lawyer.
Maja pulled Shawn aside and poured him a cup of tea.
“From start to finish, tell me everything that happened.”
Shawn, who was naturally expressive about his feelings, was now subdued. Thankfully, he wasn’t incoherent from
fear.
“When I went to the little girl’s home for an ad shoot, her parents mentioned that she was a fan of mine and asked
if I could talk to her alone. I agreed, considering the girl’s condition, and went to her room to give her an
autograph.”
“Was the photographer not in the room?”
“No, the parents didn’t want him to follow me into the bedroom. I was only there for a few minutes before going
back to shoot normally.”
Maja understood the situation. It was a trap set up by the parents, using their autistic daughter as bait.

In such situations, companies usually cut their losses and protect their reputation. Although letting go of a top-tier
star like Shawn was a tough call, it was necessary to save the company’s reputation.
For Shawn, who would be discarded, he wouldn’t stand a chance of bouncing back. The online community would
tear him apart.
Maja didn’t respond. She was contemplating how to turn the situation around.
The opponents’ tactics were indeed underhanded, especially in exploiting a child.
Now, as the child’s parents tearfully pleaded their case in public, the public naturally expected Star Movie Group to
provide an explanation.
[I can’t believe Shawn is capable of such a thing!]
[He violated an autistic child! He’s a monster! He deserves to die!]
[No mother would exploit her own daughter, especially at the cost of ruining her child’s life!]
Therefore, everyone believed the mother’s allegations were true, that Shawn was indeed guilty of such a heinous
act.
The internet was buzzing, and the atmosphere in the police station was heavy.
