Chapter 342


    They didn’t swap a single word during the drive. The car pulled up at the RosenGarden.


    Just as Maja was about to get out, a thought made her stop, and she settled back into the car.


    n, if Carlene attacks me again, can I count on you for backup?”


    She asked this bluntly, without any hint of hesitation.


    After all, her family was lower on the socialdder than the Shepard family, let alone the Raymond


    family.


    Carlene was his girlfriend, and with his influence, there was no telling what she could do in the future.


    “You wouldn’t be taking my side but the side of justice. I never try to provoke Ms. Shepard, but she


    treats me like an enemy. We’ve never had a close rtionship.”


    As she finished her sentence, she felt his gaze turn icy.


    She swallowed hard.


    He leaned in slightly, looking into her eyes with a sarcastic tone, “How dare you say we don’t have a


    close rtionship.”


    A blush crept up Maja’s cheeks, and her confidence faltered.


    “I’m helping you because we have a close rtionship.”


    Her heart skipped a beat, not believing that these words really came from him.

    Maybe it was the enchanting night, but she found herself short of breath.


    “Penny, if I treated you like I treat everyone else, you wouldn’t even get a glimpse of me.”


    That was the harsh reality.


    He wouldn’t be driving a woman home thiste at night, let alone exchanging words with her.


    Everything came down to the fact that they had a close rtionship.


    “Get out.”


    Maja’s mind was a whirl of confusion, incapable of processing his words.


    By the time she clumsily got out of the car,n’s vehicle was already pulling away.


    Maja stood there, smacking her forehead.


    It wasn’t until she reached home and washed her face with cold water to shake off the lingering tension


    that she managed to regain her


    After taking a shower, she received a text from Carol Miller.


    “What happened? I heardn sent Dana abroad, and the Shepard family is in an uproar! Carlene even


    pleaded for her, but now Dana’s on a ne and won’t being back to Greenfield ever!


    Maja, do you think he finally saw the light? Is he going to break up with Carlene? Did he finally wise


    up?!”


    Maja found Carol’s texts amusing.


    But she couldn’t tell Carol that she was involved in this too.


    Carol continued.


    “If there’s trouble in paradise between him and Carlene, this is your golden opportunity! You have no


    idea how many people are asking about him and Carlene tonight. Carlene’s freaking out, she even


    posted on Facebook that they’re still going strong.


    Maja, listen to me. Go back to the Rosewood Manor now, put on a sexy outfit, and confess your


    feelings when hees back. With your beauty and body,n wouldn’t stand a chance. Then Carlene


    is out of the picture.”


    Maja rubbed her temples and could feel Carol’s anxiety even through the phone.


    “Carol, I’m a bit tired. I’ll rest for a bit.”


    Thinking about the drama with the Pennyfeather family, Carol stopped joking around.


    Once Majaid down, she had a sound sleep.


    But it wasn’t so peaceful for everyone else.


    Especially at the Pennyfeather family.


    Tricia Pennyfeather was hoping that Carlene and Maja would take each other out.


    She had witnessed Dana trying to hurt Maja at the hospital earlier, thinking there would be a major


    sh between Maja and the Shepard family.


    But then this happened?


    It seemed liken was on Maja’s side?!


    That was impossible!


    Her eyes were red with envy. She just wanted to sit back and watch the drama unfold, but now she was


    boiling with anger.


    How could Maja be so lucky? Not only wasn her husband, but he also seemed to care about her.


    This couldn’t continue.


    She couldn’t let them go on like this!


    Otherwise, she would truly be irrelevant!
