Chapter 197


    The moment the door shut, Maja copsed onto the couch.


    Being tortured by Ms. Raymond had left her drained. Seeingn’s back full of wounds had only added


    to her stress.


    She wondered when this rough lie would finally end.


    so he decided to work through the night.


    When he stepped out in the middle of the night, he saw Maja leaning on the couch, looking very well–


    behaved.


    He frowned. He thought their night together was long over. After tonight, they needed to keep their


    distance.


    His aunt was right. If his grandpa knew about her existence, it could affect the studio.


    He looked at her sleeping face.


    She had a small face. When she closed her eyes, her gentle aura disappeared, making her look weak


    and innocent.


    She was practically bubbling with sweetness when she was on the phone with her husband earlier.


    It seems Tyler was overthinking before. She has expressed her deep love for her husband several


    times. That night probably didn’t leave any mark on her. After all, she and her husband have had


    countless nights like that one.


    But it was only after he drank it that he realized it was her ss. There was even a lipstick mark on the


    rim.


    He frowned, put down the ss, and went straight into his room.


    The next morning, when Maja woke up,n was already sitting on the couch.


    She quickly rubbed her eyes, straightened up, and nced at the clock on the wall.


    It was only six o’clock. Did he wake up this early even on his day off?


    “Mr. Raymond?”


    Her voice was soft since she had just woken up.


    Maja rushed into the bathroom to freshen up. When she came out, she asked softly, “Mr. Raymond,


    what do you want for breakfast? I’ll get it from downstairs. Also, is your wound getting infected? Maybe


    you should see a doctor today.”


    Maja opened the door to go downstairs for breakfast.


    But when she got to the hotel’s dining hall, she saw Tricia Pennyfeather already waiting there.


    She raised her eyebrows, her eyes turning cold.


    Tricia didn’t expect to see her there. She immediately felt awkward.


    “Howe…”


    Why was Maja at the hotel wheren was staying?


    Tricia often waited at ces wheren would show up, hoping to catch a glimpse of him.


    She always believed her sincerity could moven.


    But now she saw Maja.


    Was she withn again?


    Her eyes shed coldly, and in the next moment, she put on a weak smile.


    “Maja, were you at the hotelst night too?”


    Ever since she realized her feelings forn, Maja knew that Tricia’s exterior didn’t match her interior.


    “Yes.”


    Tricia clenched her hands. She thought they were just in the same hotel and wouldn’t do anything


    excessive.\


    After all,n disrespected the Pennyfeather family. And Maja was a person with a lot of self–respect. If


    she knew how her husband treated her family, she wouldn’t have anything to do withn.


    Not to mention, she should still remember that man from before, right?


    Tricia tried to control her emotions. But she didn’t know that she had been seen through.


    “Maja, Mr. Raymond said some unfriendly things to dad. His health worsened today. Maybe you should


    go check on him? Dad called Holden before, and Holden forced Mr. Raymond toe, Mr. Raymond


    didn’t seem too happy, they had a bit of an argument.”


    Tricia believed Maja wouldn’t go ton to confirm this.


    And her rtionship with Neil was unstable. She was even less likely tomunicate with this father


    after knowing Neil had called Holden.

    A hint of triumph shed in Tricia’s eyes.


    With a few words, she could possibly shatter the rtionship between Neil and Maja.
