Chapter 1178
Maja had been sitting in the coffee shop, browsing through the documents she had received, ever
since Antonia left.
ording to the documents, Antonia''s daughter was autistic, not suffering from congenital kidney
failure as Antonia had imed. However, Antonia did indeed havete-stage breast cancer.
Clearly, Antonia had utilized her autistic daughter as a pawn, hoping to win back her unfaithful
husband, knowing that her own days were numbered.

Maja''s fingers were slightly tapping on the table. After a while, she sent a message to Antonia.
[I can make him love you again.]
Negotiation was all about appealing to the other person''s desires.
She was certain that the people behind Antonia hadn''t made such a promise. They''d only offered her
money.
But now, Maja was offering something far more enticing.
As expected, Antonia responded quickly.
However, Antonia was still cautious, replying with a question mark.
She had initially asked Maja to ruin her husband and his mistress, and now Maja was offering
something entirely different. Had Maja realized that she still held feelings for her husband?
Maja then sent a follow-up message.
[Isn''t it a bit nice to them just making them utterly discredited? To make him fall in love with you again,
only to lose you to death, that would be the greatest torment for him. You''d have your revenge, and he
would spend the rest of his life in regret.]
Antonia was shaking, her eyes red with emotion. This was what she truly wanted to do, but she knew
her husband no longer loved her. Daisy, his mistress, had already borne him a son and was now
shamelessly pregnant with their second child!
How could Maja possibly make this happen? She must be lying!
But Antonia was desperate to win back that man. Even knowing the chances were slim, she took the
bait and replied.
"How do you n to do it?"
Maja didn''t respond immediately, intending to keep Antonia in suspense.
She put away her phone and drove off, not heading back to her office right away but making a visit to
Cornelia and Wilma.
By the time she returned to her office, it was already nine in the evening. She assumed that Ian would
have gone home by now.
She had been busy all day, checking in with several production teams to ensure that current projects
were running smoothly. Now back at the office, she nned to continue dealing with Antonia''s matter.
As she opened the door to her office, she noticed the lights were off. She turned them on and was
about to sit down when Zoey entered, handing her some document.
"Ms. Pennyfeather, this is the file you''ll need for tomorrow. Also, Shawn dropped by this afternoon but
left."
"Did I tell him to stay at home?"
"He''s probably worried. After all, we''ve all been working overtime because of his situation."
Maja rubbed between her eyebrows, feeling sorry for the innocent Shawn.
She motioned for Zoey to leave, but Zoey looked around the room, puzzled. "Where''s Mr. Raymond?"
"He didn''t leave?"
"I didn''t see him go out."
After Zoey left, Maja walked over to the adjoining rest area where Ian was curled up on the couch.
He hadn''t slept on the small bed, but on the two-seater sofa. At six feet tall, he had to curl up to fit.
He must have been exhausted, not even waking up at the sound of them talking.
Maja didn’t turn on the light. She approached him, using the light filtering in from the window.
His sleeping posture was peaceful, probably from waiting for a long time, perhaps even skipping dinner.
Maja didn''t want to disturb him, but she was worried about him skipping a meal and triggering his
stomach issues, so she gently nudged his shoulder.
To others, Ian was a formidable figure in the business world, someone to be feared and alienated.
Now that Eric was back, everyone was hoping for him to regain his former position.
Eric was known to give people a chance, unlike Ian who would never let his opponents off the hook.
Maja gently stroked his hair, watching as he opened his eyes.
He didn''t say anything, so Maja leaned in and nted a soft kiss on his lips.
