Chapter 570


    She coughed harshly, her eyes brimming with fragility.


    “Actually, I got it. It must be either Carlene or Laura. I only pissed off the two of themst night.”


    Samuel didn’t offer her any water, probably because she’d get terrified just by seeing it.


    He frowned, watching as Maja picked up her phone from the side and found a recording sent by


    Carlene. It wasst night’s conversation withn.


    She didn’t lower the volume, so Samuel could hear it clearly, making his head spin in anger.


    “Dang! Thatn is such a scumbag! Penny, you’ve got to dump him ASAP; stop putting up with his


    crap!”


    Maja didn’t respond; she just felt ufortable in her throat.


    Samuel snatched her phone. “Stop listening; let those two immoral jerks get what they deserve!”


    Maja dropped her gaze, hands resting outside the nket, feeling a bit puzzled.

    “I’ve been wondering, why does he hate me so much?”


    Even though she took his wife’s ce, she never met him and even suggested a three–month divorce


    timeline. There were only two months left. Why did he still want to hurt her?


    If she had really diedst night, he probably wouldn’t feel any remorse and maybe even use the


    opportunity to divorce.


    “Penny, that’s how men are. Some of them don’t know what they’ve got until it’s gone. They ruin the


    best things and then pretend toment, saying, ‘If only I could go back.‘ I know men too well.”


    Maja stopped talking, and Samuel continued to stir the pot.


    Seeing her expression grow colder, he left satisfied.


    The doctor told Maja she had to stay a few more days in the hospital.

    So she stayed alone for two more days, coinciding with the end of the cruise party.


    Holden called to ask how she was doing.


    Maja felt bitter, a faint smile ying on her lips.


    “Grandpa Holden, don’t force me to hang out withn anymore.”


    Holden was suddenly quiet before sighing, “Okay, I get it. I won’t push anymore.”


    After hanging up, Maja felt incredibly tired.


    She rested at home for half a month, finally recovering from the trauma of nearly drowning.


    Then she heard that the Shepard family had sold a piece ofnd for 80 million. The Shepard family was


    running low on funds and was seeking financing.


    Because ofn’s behavior on the cruise, Carlene’s status as an ex–girlfriend was no longer useful


    unless she could prove thatn still cared about her.


    Just as Maja was about to open the document in front of her, her phone pinged. It was a message from


    Every two days, he would send her a message, asking what she was doing.


    Maja never replied, and by now there were ten unanswered messages.


    She took a screenshot ofn’s message screen and posted it on her Instagram.


    The caption read, “Married. Please stop bothering me.”


    She didn’t blur outn’s name. Anyone who was his friend could clearly see that it was him.


    Ryan Elston was the first toment, posting a string of question marks.


    “That can’t be my cousin, right? I’ve never seen him like this. It’s just the same profile picture.”


    Connie Raymond was the second toment, confirming it was indeedn.


    “Cousin, what are you doing?”


    Maja posted it from her official ount, and so many important people she had coborated with in the


    past saw the post.


    They were all specting whether the person whose nickname was “Mr. Raymond” wasn.


    And just like that, it caused quite a stir in Greenfield’s social circles.


    “That can’t ben, right?”


    “But didn’t Jan storm off with someone at Luis’s party?”


    “At the cruise half a month ago, he defended her.”


    “Speaking of which, doesn’t Tyler alwaysin thatn never replies to his messages?”
