Maja had been waiting for another ten minutes, but Zoey still refused to come out.
With no other options, she had to leave.
Getting back into her car, the warmth inside eased the irritation she felt from the cold.
Instead of heading back to the office, Maja decided to meet up with Elvis.
But Elvis wasn't fully clued in on all the drama surrounding Zoey; all he was aware of was the big fallout she had with Mia.
""I just can't believe Zoey would hit someone with her car. I found several witnesses from that night, and they all said the driver ran over the victim three times on purpose."
Such brutality didn't seem like Zoey at all.
Maja's expression darkened. It was highly likely that Zoey was taking the fall for someone else.
But who could have convinced her to so willingly take the blame?
"There's something else. There was this recording going around the high society circles, supposedly between Zoey and Mia. Zoey’s stepfather got Mia... well, let's just say the recording left her reputation in tatters. Right after that, Zoey was taken away by the Haskins family, and I haven't been able to find out what happened next. If the Haskins family wanted to keep it under wraps, there's no way I could investigate."
Maja was sharp as a tack. She immediately tried calling Mia, but her number had been disconnected. Clearly, the Haskins family didn't want Mia to be reachable, which was suspicious.
With her lips pursed, she turned toBeck.
"Beck, take me to Fitch," she ordered.
Beck might not have been the sharpest tool in the shed, but even he could guess out that this mess had something to do with Fitch.
Now, with all the people Zoey cared about gone, there was no family of her own, and the only person left who mattered to her was Fitch.
If she really was taking the fall for someone, and it was for a spoiled brat like Mia, then only Fitch could have persuaded her.
Fitch.
Maja blinked, wishing she could storm over right this second.
Fresh from a meeting, Fitch was informed by his assistant that someone was waiting in his office, and she seemed pretty fired up. He couldn't imagine who it might be.
As he opened the door and saw Maja, his eyelashes fluttered in surprise – he hadn't expected her to return from abroad.
Maja sat on the couch, her demeanor vastly different from before.
She was the darling princess of the Sanders family, who had been doted on by two older brothers and was the beloved of Ian.
Ian had just received commendation from the higher-ups. If he were to return home, it would be with honor.
Maja sat upright; her gaze at Fitch was filled with scorn.
"Mr. Haskins' sister suddenly left the country and even canceled her phone number. Quite the rush – is she afraid someone might uncover something?"
There were too many, scattered everywhere; it was impossible to collect them all quickly.
"I told her that when she gets out, I'll marry her."
Maja stiffened; she was expecting rage but instead she felt a sense of helplessness wash over her.
For someone as downcast as Zoey, she wouldn't hesitate to drink down the poison even though she knew it was toxic.
Fitch truly knew how to manipulate her.
"You're despicable," Maja said through gritted teeth.
Fitch remained silent, trying to appear nonchalant and composed.
But he couldn't do it because he agreed with Maja's assessment – he was indeed despicable.
He had never valued Zoey's affection.
Love was cheap to him. He had encountered many who carefully approached to confess their feelings – they all said they loved him.
He thought Zoey was just like them, but she was different.
Just a single kiss, she would nod her agreement.
