Chapter 1117
Her face was as white as a sheet as she stared at the modest spread of food before her, her mind a chaotic
whirlwind.
Carol quickly dropped to the floor, retrieving the scattered fragments.
“I’m not adding any drama to this, I swear. When I saw that car going up in flames, I was sobbing. But he just left,
cold and indifferent. I mean, if he had even a shred of feelings for you, he wouldn’t have done this. Not to mention,
he’s been getting pretty close with Judith recently.”
Maja remained silent, simply picking up a new spoon and continuing to eat her oatmeal.
She refused to believe that lan would say such things, and even less that he would consider a relationship with
Judith.
She could explain everything.
“Maja?”
Carol noticed her daze and waved her hand in front of her
Maja snapped back to reality, forcing a small smile. There’s a misunderstanding between us. I’ll go and explain it to
him.”
Carol was at a loss for words, anger bubbling up within her
“And if you explain and lan still won’t listen, what then?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThen I suppose it just wasn’t meant to be”
She spoke the words, but the bitterness was starting to spread relentlessly.
Carol took her hand in a firm grip.
“I have some free time these days. I’ll be there for you. If lan can’t appreciate what he has, we can surely find
someone better. Don’t worry, I’ll introduce you to some reliable guys. Shawn Walsh is pretty decent. At least you
won’t have any negative emotions with him.”
Maja knew Carol was trying to comfort her, but she didn’t know how to respond
Thankfully, Carol didn’t press. So, for the rest of the meal, Maja quietly ate her oatmeal.
When they finished, it was ten in the morning.
Her body was still uncomfortable, her palm wrapped in bandages. Being around Patric these past few days had
been pure torture
But then she thought of the gentle Patric. What if something bad had really happened to him?
What if the gentle Patric was gone and all that was left was this madman?
Carol’s phone rang at that moment. It was Abner.
As soon as she answered, she could hear him interrogating her.
“I heard you ve been dating some broke boy. One of my business partners saw you working as a waitress. Carol,
you better come home and explain yourself
Carol’s heart skipped a beat She stood up immediately.
“Maja, my relationship with Felix might get exposed. I have to go. If I’m grounded. I won’t be able to leave. You
know how my dad is He loves to ground me. But he was really helpful last night when I asked him for help. This time
I won’t argue with him. If I don’t contact you, it means I’m grounded at home Don’t worry about me”
Then she waved and headed out the door.
She was always like this, full of energy
Maja felt a lump in her throat “Carol, thank you, really.”
“We’re friends, Maja No need for thanks”
Carol came back and hugged her “Once I’m out of the house, I’ll take you shopping”
Maja nodded
After finishing her meal, Maja rubbed her temples and tried to stand up, but she felt weak.
Nevertheless, she mustered the strength to call Jeff and ask where lan was
Jeff was at the office, and lan was in a meeting
Mr Raymond is at the office, but Ms Pennyfeather
Before he could finish, Maja thanked him and asked Maria to arrange a driver for her. She was going to the
Raymond Corporation.
She needed to explain the misunderstanding to him personally
When Maria heard that she was going to the Raymond Corporation, she wanted to dissuade her, but seeing Majas
determination, she only sighed.
Maja hadn’t even had a chance to rest. She was almost asleep in the car

When the car stopped in front of the Raymond Corporation building, the driver looked in the rearview mirror and
saw that she was asleep.
‘Ms. Pennyfeather
He called out to her
Maja opened her tired eyes and rubbed her temples.
“Sorry, I fell asleep Wait here, I’ll be right back.”
As she got out of the car, she nearly tripped.
Even the driver was nervous just watching her.
Maja took the elevator to the top floor.
The people on the top floor were surprised to see her lan had been close to Judith recently, hadn’t he? What was
Maja doing here?
They all knew about Maja and lan’s ambiguous relationship.
But today, Judith’s brother was still here! Was Maja here to confront them?
Everyone was suddenly wide awake, watching her every move.
As Maja was about to enter lan’s office, she saw the door being pushed open lan and Dylan appeared in the
doorway
When lan saw her, a flicker of emotion passed through his eyes. Behind him, Dylan said, “Let’s go. We’re going to
the hospital to see my sister. She’s been asking about you all day.”
“Okay”
With just one word, lan moved past Maja, ready to leave
