Chapter 462


    His grip tightened, and Maja suddenly felt as if all the oxygen had been sucked out of the room. She


    couldn’t utter a single word, and ayer of sweat formed on her forehead.


    changed so drastically. She now had thick bangs and sses, and even her clothes had be


    incredibly ordinary.


    He chalked up all her actions that he couldn’t understand to her intentionally putting on a show.


    “Having fun?”


    His veins were bulging on his wrist, clearly exerting a lot of force.


    Maja felt like she might actually die at any moment as he choked her.


    She looked atn’s beautiful hands.


    Just a few days ago, these beautiful hands were around her waist, and these lips were whispering


    sweet things to her.


    She was beating at his hand, feeling as if she was about to suffocate.


    “Maja, I heard Neil is sick. If you don’t want anything bad to happen to him, you’d better behave from


    now on. I hate it when people put on a show.”


    His tone was colder than ever, and the way he looked at her was as if he were looking at a corpse.


    As soon as he let go, Maja slumped down like a sack of potatoes, gasping for breath. She even


    thought she could taste blood in her throat.


    Because of Herbert’s interruption, Edith had fainted from anger and was being taken to the hospital.


    The Shepard family was busy ushering all the guests out.


    As for Carlene, she was a wreck.


    Seeingn, she ran to him, bawling, as if he were her lifeline.


    She tried to run inton’s arms.


    But strangely enough, Maja’s face popped up inn’s mind. He wrinkled his brows and stepped aside.


    Carlene ended up hugging air, and Ryan sauntered over.


    n, all the drama’s over; why are you just getting here?“.


    Ryan had been enjoying the spectacle, never expecting Maja to be so articte and embarrass

    Carlene in front of everyone.


    Carlene was dressed to the nines tonight, hoping to outshine the ordinary–looking woman. But she


    ended up being ridiculed and evenbeled a homewrecker.


    Feeling utterly humiliated, Carlene clung onton’s arm, crying.


    The rest of the Shepard family noticedn and were about to approach him. After all, Carlene was


    seriously embarrassed tonight. If she was going to survive in this circle in the future, she neededn to


    give her some dignity.


    Butn looked pissed. He had to deal with the irrational Olivia in Crystalbrook Valley and thene


    back to deal with a woman like Maja. He was fed up like never before.


    Carlene was still crying.


    n, she was way out of line; she actually called me a homewrecker.”


    Ryan listened, thinking to himself that she was indeed a homewrecker, so why was she crying about


    it?


    Maja might not be good–looking and seem in, but she always managed to hold her head high. And


    there was something about her aura that was quite influential. Ryan always felt Maja andn were


    simr in some ways.


    n, maybe you should consider taking over the Pennyfeather family’spany. Let’s see how she


    can still be so arrogant.”


    Carlene spat out these words in anger, feeling incredibly embarrassed.


    And it was at an event hosted by the Shepard family, no less. The Shepards would surely question her


    brazen?


    She felt so humiliated!


    tarnced at her with no intention of taking over a smallpany like the Penny feather family.


    “You go rest upstairs first.”


    Carlene, fearful that her makeup had been ruined by her tears and that she looked ugly, didn’t wantn


    to see her like this, so she nodded sadly.

    No one dared stick around to watchn’s drama.


    He looked like he was about to explode, and the next one to suffer might be someone’spany.


    Ryan stood byn’s side.


    n, Ms. Shepard was indeed quite embarrassed tonight. If you want to appease her, why not have


    your wifee and apologize?”


    Ryan owed Carlene a favor fromst time when he wanted Rita to return to work at the Raymond


    Corporation, so he couldn’t avoid speaking up for her


    now


    even colder.


    n, should we go to the hospital to see Grandma?”


    “You go see her.”


    In his view, Edith was partly to me for blowing this out of proportion.


    And now she had even fainted and been hospitalized, making her the talk of the town tonight.


    Everyone knew that Edith and Holden’s rtionship had been in name only for a long time, and it was


    no secret in their circle.


    Outside, Maja slowly got up, feeling a fiery pain in her throat as if she was about to cough up blood.


    Samuel appeared at her side, helping her get up.


    “I’ll take you home.”


    “Thank you.”


    Her throat waspletely hoarse, probably because ofn’s chokehold.
