After Maria's class ended, she went to find Liam and saw him on the phone.
She got into the car and watched as he said into the phone, "Maria's class is over. She doesn't have any class in the afternoon, so we're going back to the villa now. Let's discuss this when you come back later."
"Okay, tell her about it as well. Let's see what she thinks about it," Gary said, then hung up immediately.
"What was that all about?" Maria asked Liam.
"Cindy's agent, Monica, booked a ticket to London. And so did Sinclair," he replied.
"What? Is she here to take revenge on Cindy?" she asked, surprised. "That can't be. She should be here to catch her husband red-handed, right?"
Liam shook his head. "It seems that you didn't watch the video of their scandal carefully."
Stunned, she asked, "What do you mean by that? Are you trying to tell me that their marriage ended a long time ago? Does everyone in the industry have such messy relationships?"
"It's messy indeed, but not all of them are like that," Liam said. "That's their business, and they're disgusting."
"Indeed," Maria agreed. "Did Gary ask you to discuss this with me? Are we going to discuss how we're going to deal with them?"
"That's right. We can't sit here like sitting ducks," he replied. "I'm worried that Cindy and Michael came to London for other reasons. If Cindy was the one threatening Celeste, then she must have her reasons. What if she harms Celeste? We can't let that happen to her, or any of us."
He could not let such a thing happen.
"I think that we should ask Celeste about this," she suggested.
He frowned slightly. "I understand what you mean. You're considering Celeste's feelings because Cindy is her aunt. However, I still think that we need to stop them once and for all."
Maria blinked, deep in thought.
He looked at her seriously and said, "So, tell me what are your thoughts."
"It's simple. We'll contact the reporters. I think that we can leak the news to them and let them do the rest. If the four of them are caught on camera together, it'll definitely make the headlines." Maria chuckled and continued, "That way, none of them will ever be able to make a comeback for the rest of their lives."
Liam shook his head. "That won't be enough."
His words took her by surprise. "Not enough? Liam, do you want them to have an even worse fate?"
"She has already ruined her reputation, yet she doesn't reflect on her actions. She even brought Michael to London despite the fact that her terrible scandals are rampaging the country. She still doesn't realize just how bad of a person she is. I think it's best to make her so poor that she'll never be able to fly back to the States. That would be the best course of action," Liam said solemnly.
"What if she turns even crazier if she gets too poor and is pushed to her limits?" Maria asked.
He pursed his lips. "That's why we need to think of a way to take them down in one move."
"Come on, let's go home first," Maria said.
The two of them headed back.
Over at the office.
When Gary heard the news, Celeste naturally heard about it too.
The news that Monica had immediately rushed to London after seeing the video of Cindy and Michael left her in quite a daze.
That proved that a confrontation was inevitable.
Celeste was still in a daze when her phone rang.
The moment she saw the phone number, she frowned.
Gary tilted his head and glanced at her. Noticed something amiss, he immediately asked with concern, "Who's calling you?"
"I don't know the number," she replied, looking at her phone. "I'm not sure if it's her or not."
Gary took the phone over and glanced at the number, then answered the call.
Even so, he was cautious and alert, and he did not say anything.
A terrifying voice came from the other end. He could not tell whether it was a man's voice or a woman's voice. "You d*mn b*tch! You deserve to die. You have to die."
He frowned.
He had put the call on speakerphone, so Celeste could hear it too.
She took the phone and ended the call at once.
She did not even say a single word to the person on the other end of the line.
After hanging up the call, he looked up at her. "It's her. She used a vocal processor."
"This time, we won't hold back," Celeste said in a calm voice. "If her agent and Sinclair are coming, then let us find a few reporters to expose their relationship."
"There's no need to rush this," he replied, giving her a reassuring smile. "Looking for reporters might not be the best thing to do. Why don't we look for someone who can capture some footage of them discreetly? After that, we'll leak the information to the press. That way, well be able to achieve better results. For now, let's wait."
"Are we going to hire a private detective?" she asked "You were the one that hired someone to take the videos of them back then, right?"
"That's right. I bought those videos, but I never got the chance to use them. But I finally had a chance to use them," he answered. "So, it's actually quite easy to get her on camera."
"All right then. Let's do it," she said, having made up her mind. She had always thought that she should be grateful to Cindy for raising her. However, now she knew that Cindy had gone too far.
Cindy still did not know how to control herself.
If that was the case, there was nothing to worry about.
