Chapter 1079
Maja fell right on the edge of the cliff. Thanks to thentern above and the surrounding lights of the hot
springs, she could clearly see the situation around her. Five meters away, Holdeny on the ground,
unattended.
She was about to help him, but she saw one of the masked men approaching Holden with a dagger.
Maja lunged at him with reckless abandon, but the knife ultimately found its way into Holden''s arm.
Holden had weathered many storms before, and he didn''t utter a sound.
Maja, terrified, held the dagger. But at that moment, the surrounding lights suddenly brightened. It
turned out that everyone who had been stargazing hade over.
A few venomous snakes had just appeared over there, causing the women to scream. The crowd
moved over here, only to see the dagger in Maja''s hand stuck in Holden''s body.
More screams erupted, but the masked man standing next to Maja instantly stepped in front of her,
adopting a protector''s stance.
Maja let go of the dagger, and another masked man behind her suddenly knelt down.
"Sir, Holden has already given us the exact location. We can leave now."
After that, he turned to Maja, "Miss, you''ve worked hard."
Maja''s pupils contracted sharply. She felt someone tugging at her pants leg. Holden could still be
saved.
If she didn''t y along with these two men''s charade, Patric, with his temper, would give Holden
another stab.
Maja''s mind was a mess. She saw Patric turn around, mockingly staring at her.
As if asking her, what are you going to do?
Maja''s heart pounded. She quickly threw the ck box in her hand to Ian. This was what Holden had
instructed her to do to ensure it got into his hands.
"Ian, trust me."
Ian''s face was hidden in the shadows. No one knew what he was thinking. He opened the ck box in
his hand, and a highly venomous snake suddenly slithered out, biting his finger.
At the critical moment, Judith suddenly shoved Dn away and yelled.
"Ian!"
The snake''s venom was potent. Judith grabbed his bitten finger without hesitation and began to suck
the blood out with her mouth.
Maja took a step forward to say something, but a force at her waist pulled her forward, and the next
moment, she was leaping off the cliff.
The cliff was high, and there was no end in sight.
The parachute above her head opened instantly, along with Patric''s intentionally lowered voice.
"Maja, thanks to you this time, we could pry these secrets out of Holden’s mouth. His mouth was tighter

than a m''s shell when we locked him up here."
These words echoed in the valley and everyone''s ears.
Maja began to struggle violently, but Patric held her tight with one hand.
By this time, they were far away. The wind whistled past her ears, but she felt like she had fallen into an
ice cer.
She waspletely speechless, just struggling desperately.
"Move again, and you''ll fall to your death."
After Patric said this, Maja struggled even harder. She clearly wasn''t afraid of dying.
Patric knocked her out and held her tight.
The rope around their waists had long secured them together.
The wind howled, and the distance grew further and further.
Back on the cliff, chaos ensued. The venom of the small snake was too potent. Ian pushed Judith
away, trying to walk towards the cliff''s edge.
But after only one step, he fell to his knees.
Dizzy.
The world before his eyes swayed like a shakingndscape painting—the feeling from the night before
returned.
"Maja!"
"Maja!"
He shouted twice, but in the background, he heard people whispering.
"So what''s Maja''s rtionship with those strangers?"
"How was Holden?"
Tyler and Ryan had already helped up Holden, who had lost a lot of blood and was thin and haggard.
A helicopter was immediately called.
Maja and Holden were both taken to the hospital, while Ryan took Rocky back to Greenfield Gardens.
No one knew why Holden had appeared there.
No one knew why Maja had attacked Holden.
And no one knew why Maja wanted to harm Ian.
Those present at the time had been warned by Tyler not to spread the incident.
Iany in bed while Holden was rushed into the ER.
Everyone could tell that Holden didn''t have much time left, and the doctor confirmed it.
He could live for at most half a month.
In the room next to Ian''s was Judith. Judith had sucked some of the venom out for him and had passed
out herself.
At eleven o''clock that night, Ian woke up.
He looked at the stark white room and immediately sat up.
Ryan was beside his bed, a glimmer of surprise in his eyes, "Cousin!"
Ian felt as if everything at the cliff was a nightmare. What had happened?
"Where''s Maja?"
Ryan was silent for a long time before he stammered out, "She went with those men."
"And grandpa?"
"Grandpa is still in the ER. The doctor said he won''tst more than half a month."
Ian''s heart sank instantly, his face horrified.
