Dear Ex-wife Marry Me (Maja and Ian) novel Chapter 761

Chapter 761 

“Connie said that the kidnappers had their eyes on her and Maja. But Maja left her all alone, hiding somewhere herself. That’s why she got violated. It’s messed her up big time. Even though you always favored Maja, Maja is still an outsider after all. If she doesn’t come clean, I’m guessing Connie will just keep crying her eyes 

out.” 

“I’ll go check on her.” 

Holden had been planning to lay low for a while, but with all the stuff that’s been happening lately, he couldn’t just sit idly by. 

He immediately went with Maureen to where Connie was staying.‘ 

Sure enough, as soon as they pushed open the front door, they heard Connie’s sobs. 

Connie kept repeating, “It’s all Maja’s fault. If it wasn’t for Maja, I wouldn’t have had to go through all this. Maja must have done it on purpose. It’s her way of getting back at me because my cousin has been giving her the cold shoulder for the past three years. I don’t want to live anymore; I really don’t.” 

During her hospital stay, Connie thought that blaming Maja would make her feel better. 

But the truth was, every time she closed her eyes, the face of that disgusting guy appeared in her mind, making her feel sick. 

So she realized that only by getting rid of Maja completely would she feel relieved. 

It seemed absurd, but that’s honestly how she felt. 

She hated Maja. She can’t let Maja be with her cousin. 

Only when those two broke up will she start to feel better. 

Seeing Holden come in, Connie started crying even harder. 

“Grandpa.” 

Holden was getting a headache from all the crying, but thinking about what his granddaughter had gone through, he could only sigh. 

“Your aunt said this has something to do with Maja. Was Maja in the building at the time?” 

Connie nodded, her eyes so swollen she could barely see. 

“Grandpa, I’m really miserable; I can’t sleep at all. I just want an apology from Maja. I know you like her, but if you don’t agree, I’ll just go beg on the streets. I’m tainted now; no one would want me anymore.” 

“What nonsense!” 

He banged his cane on the floor, so angry that his chest was trembling. 

“What century are you living in? How could you think you’re tainted? Is this what you learned at Solstice College?” 

“What should I do? I know it all makes sense, but I’m only nineteen.” 

Holden sighed and patted her on the head. 

“Tell me exactly what Maja did to you that day.” 

So Connie repeated the story she had made up that Maja had abandoned her. 

The old man didn’t know the truth; it seemed he had to get the other party involved to find out. 

He rubbed his temples hearing Connie’s question.

“If the truth is as I said, what are you going to do, grandpa? I really don’t want her to be with my cousin; the thought of the person who caused all this being so close to me makes me want to puke.” 

As soon as she finished, she really did puke. 

Connie was under immense psychological pressure recently, unable to sleep for several days straight and with deep, dark circles under her eyes. 

Seeing her like this, Holden knew he had to get Maja involved. 

“Connie, I’ll talk to Maja. You can discuss in detail what happened that day. If it’s really because of her, I won’t cover for her.” 

But deep down, he didn’t believe Maja would do such a thing. 

A smile flickered in Connie’s eyes, and she suddenly felt less nauseous. 

“Grandpa, with you saying that, I feel relieved.” 

She knew she had changed and was sick, probably due to physical reasons. 

But only this way could she feel a bit better. 

After arriving at the company, Maja felt restless at her desk. She knew Selena and Carl wouldn’t let it go so easily, so she had to come up with a plan. 

She asked her staff to gather information about Carl’s relationship with the Raymond family and found out he was always reckless and that his only son, Lingery Raymond, was good for nothing. 

Holden had long been dissatisfied with them; if Carl made a mistake at this time. 

Maja lowered her head, knowing that Carl was going to have drinks with Powell Farley from Sunshine Realty tonight, and Powell would definitely bring his only daughter, Evelyn Farley. 

Powell was getting on in years so he should start grooming Evelyn. 

At seven in the evening, Maja arrived at the bar first. 

She bribed a waitress, taking over the cart that was to be delivered to Carl’s private room. 

She still had short hair to her shoulders, was wearing a cap, dressed in a waitress uniform, and had white gloves on her hands.

Upon entering the elevator, she was about to press the close door button when she saw lan and Fitch, along with others, walk in. Maja was so scared that she gripped the cart handle tightly, quickly lowering her head. 

After everyone entered the elevator, Fitch started talking. 

“The guy we caught last time committed suicide. I looked into that jellyfish tattoo; it’s from a foreign killer organization called BK.” The elevator reached the floor Maja had pressed, and she quickly pushed the cart out, deliberately lowering her voice. 

“Excuse me, please.” 

lan stepped aside, watching the waitress push her cart out. 

Just as the elevator doors were about to close again, lan blocked them, looking at the back of the waitress, and then asked Fitch. “Do you think she believes we didn’t recognize her?”
