Chapter 25


    Main was the chilliest and most rational woman he had ever met, making it hard to imagine her as a


    victim of domestic violencen’s actions that night had been ruthless, and it was unfathomable that


    such intimacy could leave visible marks Maja found herself in an incredibly awkward position now


    He hes decent bo me, you know Everyone has diferent experiences in marriage,” Maja mplied


    hesitantly defending her husband


    Maxwell looked at her intently taking a deep breath “Well then, give your friend a call. I won’t feet right if


    you don1”


    Reluctantly Majalook out her phone and dialed Carol’s number Carol a bona fide nich kad and one of


    her few friends arrived at the hospital two hourster After a brief conversation with Carol outside the


    ward, Maxwell felt okay to leave.


    Inside the room. Carol seeing Maas pale appearance, couldn’t help butn Why didn’t you tell me


    thatn wasing back? The guy has ignored you for three whole years, what the hell is he back for


    now?”


    Maja sighed. Probably to divorce me Everyone knows why we got mamed He had someone he liked,

    so of course he wasn’t thrilled when they split”


    His love interest? You mean his thing with Carlene? They broke up ages ago, I don’t buy thatn would


    sta be hung up on her”


    Maa coughed, taking the water Carol handed her Whether he’s hung up or not is none of my business.


    As long as he pays me on time”


    Carol found this amusing and sat down Right how could I forget you’re the clear headed one” Just as


    she finished speaking, there was a knock at the door


    When seeing Maa in the hospital bed. Tricia Majas sate poked her head in with a worried expression.


    What happened? You look awful” She rushed over exining that their dad had mentioned seeing


    someone who resembled Maja and she came to check.


    Before Tricia could finish, Neither father appeared at the door He didn’t expect to see Maja there, as


    she rarely had male friends, let alone being brought to the hospital by a man who wasn’tn


    A wave of anxiety swept over him, and he blurted out Maja dont me me for being nosy, but now that


    you’re married, you should keep your distance from male coworkers to avoid causing trouble with the


    Raymond family. “Neil’s mind was preocoupled with the divorce papersn had sent to their house


    Masa remember to call grandpa every month, even though he’s abroad If the Pennyfeather family’s


    refinancing encounters any problems.


    Sensing the tension, Tncia urgently interrupted, Dad, let’s talk about thepany stuff after Maja gets


    discharged,”


    Only then did Nel stop taking Maja spoke up emotionlessly, Dad, when I agreed to marryn three


    years ago, I made it clear that I would only help once” Sacrificing her marriage for financial reasons


    was shameful, and she refrained from being more direct, considering Nel’s aged appearance


    Nel looked stunned, as he didn’t expect his usually obedient daughter to speak with such


    determination. He stammered, “I’m just worried about you… Just rest up and let me know if you need


    anything. Don’t worry about money or work too hard.”


    Maa felt sad, but she knew that the Pennyfeather family might continue to cling to this marriage if she


    didn’t rify things. She didn’t want her father to exploit her marriage as a tool for business gains. Neil


    should focus on making the Pennyfeather family independent through legitimate business rather than


    relying on the rtionship with the Raymond family for profit.


    Observing the scene unfold, Carol couldn’t hold back her thoughts. “He’s trying to sell off his daughter,


    but he doesn’t want to admit it.”
