Chapter 1040


    Maja scrutinized the pair before her. The DNA test resultsy between them, a testament to their


    shared blood. Phelps, who held no personal grudge against her, had been supervising the whole


    process. There was no room for deceit.


    The hair sample was provided by Maja herself and collected by a trusted member of the Rosewood


    Manor staff. Betrayal was simply not a possibility among Grandpa Holden''s carefully selected team.


    When ra noticed Maja lost in thought, she assumed it was about finding them a ce to stay.


    "Maja, we''re not picky," ra began. "You''re a CEO, so you must be living in a mansion, right? Take us


    there. We''ve traveled all the way from Crystalbrook Valley," she continued. "We''ve had a long and


    nauseating journey only because we wanted to see you."


    ra and Drew looked ted, seeing Maja as their personal cash machine. Their daughter had been


    embraced by a wealthy family and was now a sessful CEO. Back in Crystalbrook Valley, they could


    barely make ends meet.


    ra tried to link arms with Maja to show intimacy, but Maja stepped back.


    The DNA test results still served as a ring reminder of their ties. Spectators had already turned their


    attention towards them.


    Maja took a deep breath. "I''ve been quite busy recently. Let''s talk about itter."


    ra and Drew were immediately displeased. It was clear Maja was trying to postpone the discussion.

    "Fine," ra snapped. "If you want to dy, then give us a million dors first. We''ve traveled a long


    way, and we''re exhausted. We need afortable ce to stay."


    Maja found this absurd. Who spent a million dors just for amodation?


    "I don''t have that much money."


    "Maja, we''re trying to reason with you," ra warned. "Do you think we enjoy arguing with you? Your


    brother needs your help. He was wronged. If you don''t give us the money or help him, we will sue you!"


    In the eyes of thew, there was a high chance they could win a case against Maja.


    Maja contacted her finance department and acquired three thousand dors in cash.


    She handed the money to ra, her voice t, "Take this for now. I have to work overnight, and I''m


    truly busy. We will discuss this matterter."


    ra, the notorious shrew at home, was instantly triggered. She took the money and threw it at Maja''s


    face.


    "As a CEO, you can only afford three thousand dors? Aren''t you ashamed? We are your biological


    parents. Does this look like charity?"


    The rubber band on the stack of bills snapped, scattering the cash all over the ce.


    All the employees turned their attention to the scene. ra held her head high.


    "Everybody, look at how Maja deals with her parents. We''ve spent years looking for her, exhausted all


    our resources, and she dismisses us with three thousand dors. Is she fit to be a CEO?"


    Drew did not attempt to stop ra. They both had thick skins and did not mind the public humiliation.


    ra even sat down on the floor.


    "Oh, the misery! Our long-lost daughter treats us like this. I wish I had strangled you at birth, Maja. If


    you don''t help your brother, we will sue you. Think about the loss you''ll have to bear."


    Maja looked at the money scattered on the floor, and her expression turned icy cold.


    She called over her bodyguard, pointing at the couple, her voice devoid of emotion.


    "Throw them out. Don''t let them in again."
