Chapter 301


    Glenn’s mouth was full of the taste of blood, his body heating up at the thought of Maja’s face and her


    figure.


    But he couldn’t respond to any of it, the burning sensation contrasting sharply with the dead silence


    of his body.


    He yelled in anger, knocking everything off the table.


    He was in the Pennyfeather family’s vi, and Tricia Pennyfeather heard themotion and came in.


    “Are you okay?”


    Glenn sneered, his eyes cold.


    “I must have Maja; I will humiliate her to death by any means necessary! Only then can I vent my


    anger!”


    A glint of light shed in Tricia’s eyes, he wanted Maja, and she wantedn. They could definitely


    cooperate.


    “You could start by creating misunderstandings with Maja. I let you find the Shepard family’s


    bodyguards to deal with her to make her think it was Carlene’s doing. Once she gets hurt and goes to


    his anger, he might even divorce Maja right away.”


    Tricia spoke gently, slowly picking up the things on the floor and dusting them off.


    “Once she’s divorced and with Neil in the hospital, no one will help her even if your tactics are


    exposed.”


    Tricia’s suggestion was purely for her own selfish reasons. She wantedn to divorce Maja as soon as


    possible!


    Even if this would benefit Carlene temporarily, it didn’t matter. She would deal with Carlene once she


    took down Maja.


    She would never forget the humiliation Carlene had given herst time.


    Let Carlene and Maja fight for now; no matter who wins or loses, it benefits her.


    Glenn didn’t say anything, just stood there coldly. Then, he startedughing.


    “Tricia, you’re getting smarter and smarter.”


    “I’m just looking out for our interests.”

    After Maja helped Connie modify her painting, she noticed Connie on the phone.


    She then realized that Connie’s driver had left.


    Connie came over, sounding very happy.


    “Penny, are you busy tonight or tomorrow morning?”


    After a moment of thought, Maja realized that she was not busy. With Neil in the hospital and the


    construction at Greenfield Gardens going smoothly, she needed to pick up Coco as nned tomorrow


    afternoon. So she sid, “No. I will be free then.”


    Connie pped her hands, “Great!”


    In between words, she happily hooked her arm around Maja’s and said, “I must treat you to a feast


    tonight!”


    She packed up her drawing board while pulling Maja towards the roadside.


    “I promise you’ve never tasted anything like it.”


    Just as Maja was about to decline, a familiar car stopped in front of them; it wasn’s


    She immediately tensed up..


    -Connie opened the car door and pushed her in.


    n, I hope you don’t mind that I brought Penny along. She just helped me modify my painting, and I


    thought I’d take her out for a nice meal.”


    Maja was already pushed in. She realized that leaving at this moment would seem too deliberate.


    She felt a bit ufortable and wanted to move away, but the space in the car was limited, and her


    moyement only brought their knees closer together.


    Connie didn’t notice the awkward atmosphere and closed the car door.


    “Penny, I just told youn was busy, then I got a message that Mia Haskins is throwing a party at the


    hot spring vi on the hillside. She’s all about the grandeur, and every year she hires internationally


    renowned chefs to cook on site. Mia might not be the best person, but her parties, are trulyvish. The


    lobsters served at the party are air–flown in, very fresh. And don’t worry, the party is run by her brother,


    Fitch Haskins, andn will be there too. We can go together. The stars tonight are beautiful, we can


    stay on the mountain overnight ande down tomorrow. I can continue sketching, and you can help


    me modify the painting, okay?”


    Maja felt awkward, regretting answering Connie’s question about whether she was free too quickly.

    She couldn’t even make up an


    excuse.


    Moreover, she could feel the heat fromn’s body through their knees, feeling sandwiched from both


    sides.


    She nced atn closing his file, his slender hand resting on top of it.


    He asked, “Is that neighbor who’s always renovating still there in RosenGarden?”


    His eyes were as brilliant as the stars; he looked stunning.


    No matter when or where,n’s appearance always left people in awe.


    Maja, as a painter, was very fond of such a face. Each part of it was perfect beyond criticism.


    “What?”


    She didn’t recall the renovating neighbor.


    “You said there’s a neighbor who’s renovating, and it’s noisy, right?”


    Only then did Maja remember casuallyining ton about it when Leah came to cause trouble


    before. She didn’t expect him to remember it.
