Chapter 1074
“Big bro, I’m fine. I know lan doesn’t like me much, probably because I talk too much.”
She was so humble that everyone else felt it was unfair to her. But given lan’s status, no one dared to object.
Dylan slowly approached lan, standing face to face with hardly half a foot between them.
Their height was almost the same, and as they stood there, it seemed to chill the air.
“lan, when we return to the city, we need to talk.”
They indeed needed to discuss their families‘ engagement.
lan bypassed him and headed to Maja, clearly not interested in a conversation.
Dylan didn’t retaliate. He knew lan would eventually give in.
Judith clung to his arm, worried.
“Big bro, I’m sorry”
She was always docile in front of Dylan, quick to apologize whenever she sensed his anger. It had been this way
since they were kids, and Dylan indeed spoiled her.
“It’s fine. It’s not your fault. Don’t worry, whatever you want, I’ll fight for it.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJudith didn’t have a backpack either, her bag was with Dylan. She clung to Dylan’s arm without hesitation, her face
full of smiles
“Got it.”
The group continued on, but the atmosphere was tense after the incident, with few words exchanged.
Tyler stood among them, feeling a headache. They had hiked together before, but this time’s atmosphere was the
worst ever.
After walking for three hours, Maja, who was leading the group, slipped and started rolling down the slope.
“Maja!”
lan was startled and immediately caught her hand, pulling her back.
Maja fell to the ground, a sharp pain shooting through her ankle.
lan quickly krielt down to check her foot.
“Does it hurt?”
All along the way, Maja had been in good spirits, surrounded by countless plants, reminding her of her days in
Crystalbrook Valley.
She used to go foraging in the woods with Lillian during the transition of spring to summer, which was mushroom
season.
Lillian would carry her up the mountain in a small basket.
She loved picking mushrooms in the forest. Although she was sometimes scared by a centipede, she mostly felt
happiness when recalling those days.
The hiking route was indeed great, so even though her foot hurt now, she still smiled at lan
“I’m fine, sorry, I was distracted.”
She had been reminiscing about her mushroom–picking days and hadn’t noticed the ground.
lan told the others, “You guys go ahead. We’ll rest here for a while.”
As it happened, the group didn’t really like Maja, so a few of the women went ahead, feeling she brought bad luck.
With the women leaving, the men naturally followed, leaving only a few people lan knew.
Judith and Dylan were still there, along with Tyler and Ryan
Judith looked genuinely concerned, “Ms. Pennyfeather, I have some spray in my bag. You want to use it?”
Truth be told, if Judith hadn’t spoken to her, Maja could have pretended she didn’t exist
But Judith knew how to annoy her. The scene between her and lan last night was still fresh in her mind, and she
didn’t believe Maja could be Indifferent to it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSo now she was eager to show off, just to make Maja uncomfortable.
lan had already taken out his own spray and sprayed it on Maja’s ankle.
Maja frowned as Judith began to speak again, “lan is really good to you. If he treated me like this one day, I’d be
content. But it’s okay, and I’m willing to wait.”

With these words, she put herself in an even lower position.
If last night hadn’t happened, Dylan would have thought his sister was just making a fool of herself. But having
witnessed what happened, he realized how lan had been leading Judith on, which explained why she was so
infatuated.
Now, seeing Judith willing to be humble, he knew she was deeply in love with lan.
lan felt a surge of anger. He had woken up at four in the morning and realized something was off about last night.
He had tried to investigate, but they were far from the city, so it would take time even if he sent the wine to be
tested.
The test results weren’t out yet. If he accused Judith of drugging the wine, she would immediately throw herself into
Dylan’s arms, claiming she was being framed.
It was a despicable tactic, but it was incredibly frustrating without evidence.
He squatted down in front of Maja, “Maja, I’ll carry
