Maja found it amusing. After all, it was Ian who initiated everything. What’s that got to do with her?
She swiftly shook off Judith’s hand.
“So Ms. Sanders, you’re upset because you were eager to be someone’s girlfriend, but got rejected. Now instead of
venting her anger on Ian, you’re lashing out at me, is that it?”
Judith was convulsing all over, her finger shaking as she pointed at Maja’s face.
“I’ll kill you!”
She hurled her purse at Maja with all her might. Maja, in an instinctive move, fended it off.
The purse bounced back, hitting Judith right in the head.
Judith saw stars dancing before her eyes and then fell back, passing out.

Even her feigned helplessness didn’t manage to separate Ian and Maja. It seemed her heart disease was her last
resort!
She had to get her parents to come to Greenfield personally to settle her marriage with Ian.
Seeing her fall, Maja wasn’t sure if she was pretending or not but she called an ambulance anyway.
Soon, Dylan and Beck heard about Judith’s hospitalization.
Dylan rushed to the hospital, while Beck called Maja.
“You’ve really stirred up trouble this time. Judith’s heart condition flared up. We’ve been protecting her all these
years, and her heart disease has been under control. This time, my parents will definitely come. Be careful, you
can’t handle my dad’s tactics. You’d better go find Ian.”
Beck was genuinely worried. He also had a feeling that his brother was scheming something behind his back, and
even their father seemed to be hiding something from him.
Among the Sanders family, he was probably the only innocent one.
He really liked Maja’s character, but he couldn’t do anything for her due to his position.
By now, Maja had returned to Rosewood Manor and realized she had got into trouble.
She rubbed between her eyebrows and sighed slightly.
“Mr. Sanders, thank you for the heads up.”
“Maja, my mother is quite radical.”
In other words, she’s been warned.
Maja was indeed troubled, but the Sanders family hadn’t arrived yet, so she had to handle her own affairs first.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe next morning at nine, Ian’s car was waiting outside Rosewood Manor. She had planned to meet him directly at
the cemetery, but since he was here, she had no choice but to get in the car.
They didn’t bring anyone else, but her bodyguards followed in another car.
Ian noticed after just a mile.
“Your people?”
“Yeah, things have been a bit unsettled lately.”
She sat in the passenger seat, looking out.
Ian felt distressed. He didn’t know since when they had started to have nothing to talk about during their meetings.
Their time together was so short. They had been married for three years, but they had only had conflicts for a few
months when he returned home. It seemed they had never really talked.
His hands tightened on the steering wheel, and the car quickly stopped at the cemetery.
