Chapter 156


    Silver was cursing angrily the phone.


    He thought it would be easy to control Maja, but the result was unexpected. If he couldn’t reach a


    private settlement with Maja and let the police dealt with it ording to normal procedures, he would


    definitely be exposed to the public, and thepany’s reputation would also be ruined by then.


    Silver was very confused. How could Maja sent the two kidnappers to the police station since Maja was


    just a weak woman? He still didn’t know who helped Maja, but regretted that he looked down on Maja


    before, which made him fell into such a bad situation now.


    He cursed again, but he still needed Maja toe forward to reconcile now, or he would be in real


    trouble. He went out quickly, intending to find Maja.


    Maja has decided not to get too entangled in this matter. She has decided to let the police take full


    responsibility for handling it. Anyway, she did not ept a private settlement.


    When she walked out of the hospital, she met Maureen again. Maja hid her cheek almost


    subconsciously. Thest time she met Maureen in the hospital, she was also very haggard, and


    coincidentally, she also had p marks on her face at that time, and now there were p marks on her


    cheeks. She didn’t know what the other party will think. But even though she tried to turn around and


    pretend not to see Maureen, Maureen saw her right away. “Penny?”


    It was exactly the same asst time. Since Maureen had already called her name, there was no point in


    hiding. Maja decided to bite the bullet and say hi.


    Maureen’s gaze fell on her cheek.


    The p mark was as in as the nose on her face.


    Maureen was well–bred and knew better than to bring up someone’s sore spot. But this was her son’s


    girlfriend, she couldn’t just sit on her hands.


    And she could tell Maja was a lone wolf, not one to ask for help.


    Ryan really dropped the ball, letting his girlfriend get pushed around.


    “Ms. Raymond.”


    Maja was respectful, and Maureen gently touched her cheek.


    “What happened again? Does it hurt?“.


    The unexpected tenderness threw Maja for a loop.


    She could handle hostility, but she was at a loss for how to respond to Maureen’s kindness.


    Because she had once lied to this woman, and Maureen probably still thought she was Ryan’s


    girlfriend.


    “I’m fine.”


    Maureen took her hand, her voice even softer.


    “You’re with Ryan now. You should talk things over with him, don’t carry the world on your shoulders.”


    Thest time she ran into Maja at the hospital, Maureen thought Ryan was the one who hit her. But


    Maja told her it was her


    family.


    This time it was probably her family again. Maureen’s son might be a jerk, but he wouldn’ty a finger


    on a girl.


    “Penny, if you need legal help, just let me know.”


    Maja opened her mouth, wanting to rify her rtionship with Ryan, but in front of Maureen’s gentle


    eyes, she couldn’t say anything. This question had missed the best time to exin. “Penny, you’re a


    good kid. I really like you. I don’t want to see you hurt again. Since someone in your family hurt you, it’s

    their fault. If you’re okay with it, I’d like to have a chat with your family. It might help you out.”


    When Maureen said this, she didn’t have a condescending attitude, but was cautious, afraid that if she


    was not careful, she would touch Maja’s sore spot.
