Chapter 1096


    Zoey slowly rose to her feet, but she knocked over the coffee table due to theck of strength in her


    legs.


    Her knee was bruised from the sharp edge of the table, but she simply rubbed it a little, then limped


    into the bathroom, clutching his suit.


    She put on the clothes she had set aside, which she had taken off earlier for a shower.


    Now, she hung his suit up and began to scrub it gently.


    After carefully washing the suit, she hung it in the sunniest spot, then left, dragging her exhausted body


    behind her.


    As she got into the car, she blinked her tired eyes.


    When she arrived back at her ce, she fell into a deep sleep until morning, then received a phone call


    from Elvis.


    "Zoey, where is Mr. Pennyfeather those past few days?"


    Zoey didn''t know either. There was a message from Maja on her phone indicating she would be away


    for a few days.


    "Elvis, is there any issue with the talent?"


    "No, it''s just that Mr. Pennyfeather hasn''t been seen for a few days, and her phone is unanswered. I''m

    worried something has happened to her."


    "If something had happened to Mr. Pennyfeather, Mr. Raymond would be worried. Don''t be anxious,


    and it''s probably just a secret business trip. She sent me a message about it."


    Everyone at Star Movie Group was a workaholic, especially Elvis and Zoey.


    Even after a night of chaos, Zoey returned to her ce to freshen up, then immediately headed to the


    office.


    She meticulously organized the files she needed to give to Maja by date, then carefully cleaned and


    disinfected Maja''s seat.


    In Zoey''s mind, Maja was the most amazing woman she had ever met.


    Everyone in thepany believed that Star Movie Group would be the top entertainment


    When Maja regained consciousness, she felt feverish all over.


    Someone put their hand on her forehead, which felt soothing. She instinctively leaned into the touch.


    Eric quickly withdrew his hand, gave her some fever medicine, and got up to leave.


    But at that moment, Patric''s voice rang out.


    "I''m taking her away tonight."


    Once they were out of the country, she would be far from Ian. There was already a misunderstanding


    between them, and if Ian didn''t seek out Maja, Patric could indeed hold her captive forever with his


    methods.


    Eric was worried, but there was nothing he could do. Patric''s men surrounded the house, and there


    was a secret code required to leave. Only if the code was entered correctly would he be allowed to go


    out.


    Eric shared a body with Patric, but he didn''t know the code, so his options were limited.


    As the night fell, Patric took control of their shared body.


    He flexed his wrist, then roughly pulled Maja to his side.


    Maja felt better, but his roughness nearly caused her to fall off the sofa.


    Patric''s tone held no pity.


    "Get up, we''re leaving."


    Maja didn''t want to go. She knew she was still in Greenfield, and leaving with Patric would mean she


    could never see Ian again.


    She stepped back, holding onto the armrest of the sofa tightly, refusing to let go.


    Seeing this, Patric pulled out a knife, threatening to cut off her fingers.


    But she didn''t let go even as the sharp de neared her hand. Instead, she held on even tighter.


    She would rather lose her fingers than leave Greenfield.
