Chapter 1176


    On the other end of the line, Linda was incessantly calling out Antonia''s name. When she realized that


    thetter had removed her earbud and even ended the call, she was so furious that she almost flipped


    the table in front of her.


    "That bitch actually dares to do this to me. Who does she think she is?!"


    The group from wealthy families were still at Judith''s vi,ughing uproariously at the scene.


    "Linda, cool your jets. Maybe she identally unplugged."


    "Right, it''s just Maja. You don’t need to make a move. I heard from Dn that Ian is about to face a lot


    of trouble. Without his protection, Maja is just trash."


    "Getting angry with trash? How beneath you."


    Hearing this, Linda''s anger subsided, but she still felt a bitter taste in her mouth.


    "That bitch took our money. I wanted her to extract more information from Maja, but it turns out Maja is


    a tough cookie. Now she has even hung up. What if they''re in cahoots?"


    "Linda, are you worried Maja might retaliate?"


    The room erupted inughter at the remark.


    Linda became rxed. Why would she be afraid of Maja''s retaliation? Even if Maja knew, what could


    two pieces of trash do to scare her?


    Suddenly, her face was full of smug satisfaction. She thought of Antonia as a dull, superficial woman. If


    Maja actually teamed up with her, it was only a matter of time before she got recriminated.


    Linda started to interact with the group in the room. They didn''t care about Maja anymore. They had


    enough money to continue buying Antonia off anyway. After all, the woman was money-driven, and


    Maja could never outbid them.


    Over at the café.


    The moment the headphones were removed, Maja took a slow sip of her coffee.


    Antonia watched this woman for a long time before speaking, "Ms. Pennyfeather seems perfectly


    calm."

    Maja put down her coffee cup.


    "I''ve been wondering why you wanted to meet with me, until I saw what you were wearing on your


    wrist. It''s something your husband gave you, isn''t it? It''s a bit old, but you''re still wearing it. It seems


    that you love your husband, but he''s entangled with Daisy, and they’ve already had a healthy son. Your


    daughter is autistic, while Daisy''s son is healthy. You''re ufortable, so you hope to create a scandal


    with your daughter. If I''m not wrong, your husband must have contacted you, hoping you''d calm things


    down. Otherwise, the identity of the autistic kid might be revealed, and he would be implicated."


    After struggling with that man for so many years, he made connections with Daisy in the end, and their


    careers skyrocketing. While Antonia, having to quit her job to take care of her daughter, was left


    behind. To make things worse, her husband had an affair and even had a healthy son with Daisy. She


    couldn''t ept it and was filled with resentment, willing to destroy herself and her daughter.


    This approach was far from appropriate, as it would not only ruin her daughter but also involve innocent


    people like Shawn. But Antonia''s aim was to stir things up.


    Antonia looked at Maja, her tone indifferent.


    "Ms. Pennyfeather is smarter than the person who manipted me. So, you can guess what I n to


    do next."


    "Antonia wants to cooperate with you to destroy the scum. Only then will you let Shawn go. But as far


    as I know, you''ve always been the tolerant one in your marriage. So, why such a big scandal now?


    You''re still wearing the piece your husband gave you. Are you still waiting for him toe back to


    you?"


    "He''ll nevere back!"


    Antonia mmed the table, her face pale.


    "Daisy is pregnant with her second kid. He''s been lying to me. He said he would cut off contact with


    Daisy ande back to take care of me and our daughter, but he let that witch get pregnant again!"


    Her face was contorted with rage, her fists clenched, her eyes bloodshot.


    "I want him to pay! I want him to die, and that homewrecker Daisy too!"


    After saying these words, she was trembling all over, trying hard to control her emotions.


    Maja noticed that she had heavy makeup on today, probably to cover up her pale face.


    "Did something happen to you, Antonia? Without you, there won''t be anyone to take care of your


    daughter."


    Despair filled the woman''s eyes as she stared at Maja. After a few minutes, she finally said in a hoarse


    voice, "My daughter not only has autism, but she also has congenital kidney failure. She won''t live past


    ten. I was recently diagnosed withte-stage breast cancer."


    She forced a smile as tears started to fall.


    "What do I need all that money for? It can''t save my daughter or me. All I want now is for that scum to


    die and that witch to pay. Maja, don''t try to trick me. If you can''t do it, then I''ll take someone down with


    me when I die. I will cling onto you guys, after all, your artist did harm my kid."


    Antonia added thest sentence in case Maja was recording. But Maja wasn''t.
