"By the way, Gary," Ernest added, "Liam has returned, and he's not doing well. Just now, news about him was just released. His influence has completely hit rock bottom, and his company is deliberately abandoning him. He hasn't had a shoot for years, nor has he gone to a variety show. He has fallen from A-tier to D-tier."
"He was blacklisted," Gary calmly commented, "It'll be hard for him to make a comeback without the support of a benefactor."
"Gary, aren't you going to help him?" Ernest looked at Gary.
Gary didn't say anything. He just said, "He's still three years away from completing his contract. It's not the right time to make a move now."
"So does that mean you'll help Liam?" Ernest seemed to have realized something.
Gary looked at his younger brother indifferently and said, "That would be based on how capable he is. You shouldn't get involved in this mess either." "But we are friends," Ernest sighed.
"If a person doesn't have the ability to stand up on their own, they'll fail again even if you're able to support him." Gary was solemn, "Currently, he's in an awkward position since he still doesn't have the ability to support himself. If he had that ability, he can still rely on his work to make himself famous again even if he's a D-list artist."
Reluctantly, Ernest had to admit that his brother's words made sense.
"Furthermore, that shouldn't be done by you or me," Gary looked at his younger brother seriously and continued, "Someone else will do it."
Ernest was stunned for a moment before realization dawned upon him, "Gary, do you mean Maria?"
"Maria came to study in London for the sake of Liam. She gave up on Oxford and Cambridge and chose London University instead. Why do you think she did that?" Gary looked at his younger brother and asked.
Ernest was really stunned by his question.
This was the first time he seriously thought about this.
Almost instantly, he agreed with his brother's statement.
Maria did it for Liam's sake.
For so many years, she had been hiding her feelings in the bottom of her heart. She still couldn't forget Liam.
Ernest nodded and said, "It seems that Maria can't forget Liam. She chose London University just for the sake of being in the same school as him. But Gary, do you think she will help Liam?"
"Let's just wait and see," Gary didn't want Ernest to take action too early, "We're not in a hurry. If Liam has the ability and patience, he can overcome this. If he doesn't, then there's nothing we can do."
It was much better for Liam to help himself than to wait for others to help him. That was definitely more dignified.
"Okay, I agree."
Meanwhile, in the room upstairs.
Maria was playing with her phone while chatting with Celeste.
Suddenly, she saw a tiny article in a small corner of the news.
There was a photo. It was the figure of a person she was familiar with.
In the photo, Liam had come out of the airport with his head down and a face filled with desolation. In the crowd, he was alone, and there was no one to pick him up. It was like no one had seen him.
He used to be a top artist and would be surrounded by a sea of people as soon as he got off the plane. He would be busy giving out signatures. Now, no one cared about him.
He looked very lonely, but the people behind him were very lively.
With just one glance, Maria's fingers tightened around her phone. Her knuckles were white, and her eyes were a little teary.
Her heart sank. It hurt.
Liam had gone home.
Could he bear the crappy situation once he got home?
She really wanted to go back now.
Maria sniffled and felt a little worried.
