Chapter 761


    “Connie said that the kidnappers had their eyes on her and Maja. But Maja left her all alone, hiding


    somewhere herself. That’s why she got vited. It’s messed her up big time. Even though you always


    favored Maja, Maja is still an outsider after all. If she doesn’te clean, I’m guessing Connie will just


    keep crying her eyes


    out.”


    “I’ll go check on her.”


    Holden had been nning toy low for a while, but with all the stuff that’s been happeningtely, he


    couldn’t just sit idly by.


    He immediately went with Maureen to where Connie was staying.‘


    Sure enough, as soon as they pushed open the front door, they heard Connie’s sobs.


    Connie kept repeating, “It’s all Maja’s fault. If it wasn’t for Maja, I wouldn’t have had to go through all


    this. Maja must have done it on purpose. It’s her way of getting back at me because my cousin has


    been giving her the cold shoulder for the past three years. I don’t want to live anymore; I really don’t.”


    During her hospital stay, Connie thought that ming Maja would make her feel better.


    But the truth was, every time she closed her eyes, the face of that disgusting guy appeared in her


    mind, making her feel sick.


    So she realized that only by getting rid of Majapletely would she feel relieved.


    It seemed absurd, but that’s honestly how she felt.


    She hated Maja. She can’t let Maja be with her cousin.


    Only when those two broke up will she start to feel better.


    Seeing Holdene in, Connie started crying even harder.


    “Grandpa.”


    Holden was getting a headache from all the crying, but thinking about what his granddaughter had


    gone through, he could only sigh.


    “Your aunt said this has something to do with Maja. Was Maja in the building at the time?”


    Connie nodded, her eyes so swollen she could barely see.


    “Grandpa, I’m really miserable; I can’t sleep at all. I just want an apology from Maja. I know you like


    her, but if you don’t agree, I’ll just go beg on the streets. I’m tainted now; no one would want me


    anymore.”


    “What nonsense!”


    He banged his cane on the floor, so angry that his chest was trembling.


    “What century are you living in? How could you think you’re tainted? Is this what you learned at


    Solstice College?”


    “What should I do? I know it all makes sense, but I’m only neen.”


    Holden sighed and patted her on the head.


    “Tell me exactly what Maja did to you that day.”


    So Connie repeated the story she had made up that Maja had abandoned her.


    The old man didn’t know the truth; it seemed he had to get the other party involved to find out.


    He rubbed his temples hearing Connie’s question.


    A


    “If the truth is as I said, what are you going to do, grandpa? I really don’t want her to be with my


    cousin; the thought of the person who caused all this being so close to me makes me want to puke.”


    As soon as she finished, she really did puke.


    Connie was under immense psychological pressure recently, unable to sleep for several days straight


    and with deep, dark circles under her eyes.


    Seeing her like this, Holden knew he had to get Maja involved.


    “Connie, I’ll talk to Maja. You can discuss in detail what happened that day. If it’s really because of her,


    I won’t cover for her.”


    But deep down, he didn’t believe Maja would do such a thing.


    A smile flickered in Connie’s eyes, and she suddenly felt less nauseous.


    “Grandpa, with you saying that, I feel relieved.”


    She knew she had changed and was sick, probably due to physical reasons.


    But only this way could she feel a bit better.


    After arriving at thepany, Maja felt restless at her desk. She knew Selena and Carl wouldn’t let it


    go so easily, so she had toe up with a n.


    She asked her staff to gather information about Carl’s rtionship with the Raymond family and found


    out he was always reckless and that his only son, Lingery Raymond, was good for nothing.


    Holden had long been dissatisfied with them; if Carl made a mistake at this time.


    Maja lowered her head, knowing that Carl was going to have drinks with Powell Farley from Sunshine


    Realty tonight, and Powell would definitely bring his only daughter, Evelyn Farley.


    Powell was getting on in years so he should start grooming Evelyn.


    At seven in the evening, Maja arrived at the bar first.


    She bribed a waitress, taking over the cart that was to be delivered to Carl’s private room.


    She still had short hair to her shoulders, was wearing a cap, dressed in a waitress uniform, and had


    white gloves on her hands.

    Upon entering the elevator, she was about to press the close door button when she sawn and


    Fitch, along with others, walk in. Maja was so scared that she gripped the cart handle tightly, quickly


    lowering her head.


    After everyone entered the elevator, Fitch started talking.


    “The guy we caughtst timemitted suicide. I looked into that jellyfish tattoo; it’s from a foreign


    killer organization called BK.” The elevator reached the floor Maja had pressed, and she quickly


    pushed the cart out, deliberately lowering her voice.


    “Excuse me, please.”


    Just as the elevator doors were about to close again,n blocked them, looking at the back of the

    waitress, and then asked Fitch. “Do you think she believes we didn’t recognize her?”
