Dear Ex-wife Marry Me (Maja and Ian) novel Chapter 816

Chapter 816 

Elvis suddenly cut off the conversation and hung out real quick. 

For Wilma, Elvis was always a workaholic–all work, no play–like he had no other interests or feelings. 

His daily life was like that of a strict dude, with no rules to break. 

She couldn’t help but recall a high school memory of accidentally catching him in the shower at his place, blown away by his physique. 

Was this hunk really able to keep his desires under control? 

Could he stand it? 

Elvis probably didn’t have a girlfriend, right? 

Wilma’s head ached from all the thinking, and she felt the need to go to the Star Movie group, at least to keep an eye on him. 

She sent Maja a pushy message, still keeping her hoity–toity attitude. 

[Maja, if you don’t pick me up soon, Simstar Entertainment might make me sign a long–term contract.] 

Maja knew she was getting antsy when she saw the message. 

[Tomorrow, I’ll have the lawyer go to Simstar Entertainment to pay the penalty.] 

After sending this message, she called Elvis again. 

“Elvis, are you really going to ignore Wilma if she shows up?” 

Elvis dropped his gaze, recalling some past events, before finally answering after a while. 

[Why?] 

[She’s grown up and she should have her own life.] 

She can’t always revolve around a man in his thirties. 

Maja didn’t fully get his drift, but if he insisted, she wouldn’t stand in his way. 

She didn’t have to make any promises to Wilma. 

She took a shower, popped a melatonin, and hit the sack. 

What she didn’t know was that there had been a two–hour argument at the hospital. 

Selena lay in bed; only her eyes and mouth could move. 

She had become a vegetable, forever confined to this bed, needing others to take care of her daily needs. 

Steve came to see her tonight but didn’t offer any words of comfort; he just informed the Casson family. 

The Casson family was always spoiling their daughter; now that Selena had become a vegetable, they were in denial. After some digging, they found out that Maja was involved, leaving the whole family on edge. 

“Where the hell is Maja? We need to get her over here to explain!” 

“She should be thrown in jail; we need to get her in jail!” 

The Casson family had the power to throw her in jail. 

In this situation, Steve had no choice but to come back. When he heard that his son had put up ten percent of the Raymond Corporation shares to protect Maja, he knew this was a no–win situation. 

If the Casson family sought revenge on Maja, lan would definitely step in, and things would get messy. 

Steve sat by the bed, his tone devoid of emotion. 

“There was no surveillance at the time; we can’t be sure that Maja pushed them; it could also be that Selena lost her balance and fell.” 

The Casson family frowned at this, promptly questioning Selena. 

“What really happened? Was it Maja?” 

Selena lay on the bed, incredibly weak and unable to speak. 

She was obviously pushed. Besides Connie and Maja, there were no other people nearby, but they thought Connie couldn’t possibly do this. Selena had watched Connie grow up, and Connie was also injured, reportedly with a lot of stitches on her forehead. She was currently receiving treatment in a mental hospital. 

Selena understood that this was lan’s decision. 

If she admitted now that this was related to Maja, then lan and Steve would both take action. 

She hated Maja; how dare that woman treat her like this? 

But she couldn’t let the Casson family go after Maja; otherwise, her relationship with Steve would completely break down. 

Selena had deep feelings for Steve, and as long as he didn’t bring up divorce, everything else was negotiable. 

She signaled Steve with her eyes to come closer; she had something to say. 

Steve only had impatience for her, but he still leaned in.
