Chapter 328


    Maja had already anticipatedn siding with Carlene, to which she replied, “No way”


    “Really? You aren’t scared this might affect your job, your family, or even your rep in the industry?”


    His tone was so nonchnt, even when threatening someone


    He nced up, “And maybe even your husband’s recent promotion”


    She wasn’t sure if it was just her imagination, butn seemed to be more aggressive this time. He


    wasn’t the chill guy she used to know.


    He couldn’t help but smirk


    “What a lovey–dovey couple you are”


    He stood up, his resolve stronger this time.


    “Apologize to Carlene before you check out.”


    If she doesn’t apologize and Carlene calls the cops, she could be used of intentional assault.


    Carlene could provide a medical report detailing her injuries.


    And Maja was just a designer. She wouldn’t have so many pesky rtives in Crystalbrook Valley if her


    family had real power.


    If Carlene leverages the Shepard family’s influence and gets awyer involved, Maja could end up

    losing her job andnding in jail.


    Carlene saw him return so quickly and smiled slightly.


    She said she should call the police immediately and charge Penny with assault. But she was more


    interested in knowingn’s thoughts,


    n…”


    Before she could finish,n took a seat.


    “I told her, She should apologize to you before she checks out.


    A light flickered in Carlene’s eyes;n’s attitude was what mattered most to her.


    Sincen was on her side, she could pretend to be forgiving.


    “Fine, I’ll wait for her toe apologize.”


    Her tone suggested she was willing to let the rest slide.


    Carlene, ensuring she would recover well, then nned to leave.


    “I have an overseas meeting at dawn.”


    Carlene knew he was busy but cooed, “Will youe to see me tomorrow?”


    “Sure.”


    Next door, Maja was feeling quite agitated. Just then, Carol called with a gloomy tone.


    “Maja, I’ve found info on the two guys. They’ve left the country, so we can’t catch them for now.”


    Without the guys, they had no evidence to prove Carlene was behind everything Maja went through.


    Maja frowned, thinking ofn’s words, and felt suffocated.


    Plus, the bar didn’t have any surveince.


    She rubbed her temples, tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep.


    She pulled out her phone, called Maria, and asked her to pick Coco up from the pet hospital.


    Usually, Maria would ask about the situation because Maja always preferred to pick up Coco herself.


    But Maja’s voice sounded incredibly exhausted. So, Maria didn’t say anything further.


    Maja hung up the phone, still unable to sleep.


    She called the doctor, asked for a sleeping pill, and finally fell asleep.


    The next morning, she heard somemotion outside, but it was not from her side. It was from


    Carlene.


    The hotel’s head chef had personally prepared breakfast for Carlene, and the food cart had been


    pushed over.


    When Maja went out, she ran into the food cart.


    It was so exquisite that she could still smell the food, even with the lids on the tes


    Maja stood there for a while, hearing Dana snicker behind her.


    “This is whatn prepared for Carlene. You’ve probably never seen a five-star hotel’s head chef


    personally deliver food, huh?”


    Maja, indeed had never seen it.


    Consideringn was her husband in name, but the hospitalized woman was his sweetheart, she felt


    unreal.


    Dana stood at the door, smirking, “Carlene and I are waiting for your apology.n is on our side.”


    Maja, annoyed by Dana, went to the hospital’s cafeteria for some corn chowder. When she returned,


    she ran inton, who was visiting.
