Chapter 1016
After causing a stir around lan and Judith, Alma began spreading rumors about Maja.
[She was dumped by lan because she’s promiscuous and loose. Who knows how many men she’s been with.]
[She even got caught visiting the gynecologist when she was married to lan.]
[Holden doesn’t even stand by her anymore. I heard she’s mingled with another man for the past few days. She’s
fallen from grace because lan dumped her.]
Alma’s original plan was to ruin Maja by drugging her, but that failed.
So, she resorted to the most straightforward method, spreading rumors.
After all, people didn’t really care about the truth, and they just wanted to hear juicy gossip.
So not only was the news about lan and Judith being together flying around but also Maja’s alleged promiscuous
lifestyle was the talk of the town. The gossip spread from one group to another, eventually reaching the one Ryan
was in.
Ryan, upon seeing these women freely defaming Maja, lost his cool.
T
[Who the hell is spreading those baseless rumors?! Maja will be my future sister–in–law. If my cousin sees that, the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtrumor spreaders will regret it!] The recent internal feud within the Raymond family was known to everyone. No one
was sure about lan’s stance towards his cousin, so some people were less respectful towards Ryan.
[Judith herself acknowledged it on Facebook. She was with lan that night.]
[BS! How can this woman be so shameless!]
While fuming at the messages, Ryan continued venting his anger in the group chat.
[It serves hér right that my cousin doesn’t fancy her. All she knows is to play dirty tricks, and now she’s trying to
tarnish Maja’s reputation. It was clearly Maja who was with my cousin that night. My cousin has only ever liked Maja,
and Maja has confessed her feelings. They are together now. If I hear anyone talking nonsense again, I’ll
screenshot it and show it to my cousin!]
The final sentence held a strong deterrent effect. Everyone knew that lan had a bad temper; if he decided to settle
the score, those who spread rumors would pay the price.
Remembering how he dealt with Dennis, everyone stopped talking.
Ryan took a deep breath and immediately called lan.
But lan was on a plane and didn’t answer.
So, he quickly called Maja.
“Penny, when my cousin gets back, have him post something on Facebook, preferably mentioning your name
specifically, to avoid being claimed by some other woman!”
Maja was unaware of the situation with Judith. Hearing him explain it in detail, she found it quite absurd.
After venting for a while, Ryan suddenly laughed. “But Judith’s tactics are so low–grade, she won’t be a threat to
you in the future.”
Maja looked at her reflection on the black computer screen, still worrying about the marks on her body.
After hanging up the phone with Ryan, she went to the bathroom mirror and pulled open her collar to take another
look.
It was too obvious. Unless lan were blind, he wouldn’t miss the marks left by someone else.
Feeling stifled, she lacked the focus to work.
What she didn’t expect was that Alma received an anonymous message.
[Maja has indeed been with a man these past few days, her first love. They spent two nights in a hotel while lan has
been abroad.]
When Alma saw the message, her eyes lit up. She immediately called back, hoping to get more information.
But the number was already disconnected.
She sneered and immediately spread the news that Maja had spent two nights in a hotel with her first love while lan
was abroad.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLike the previous rumors, it became a topic of great interest.
Alma even went to the hotel to verify that Maja had stayed there for two nights, which excited her even more.
Because the hotel was owned by the Casson family. With Omar still in a coma, Alma was the only person from the
Casson family who held any authority.
She immediately pulled up Maja’s hotel records and posted them in the group chat.
“I told you she was a loose woman. She indeed spent two nights in the hotel with her first love. I wonder how lan will
react when he finds out.”
The evidence Alma provided was too substantial, and her confidence too convincing. Even those who had initially
doubted started to believe.
Tyler, upon seeing the hotel records, personally called the hotel to verify, and the records turned out to be true.
He had initially thought Alma was slandering Maja.
Now that the record was true, why did Maja go all the way to that hotel during the two days lan was abroad?
She hadn’t even left the hotel during that time, even neglecting her work.
Tyler squinted his eyes.
The following morning, lan’s plane touched down in Greenfield.
