Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1123

Ian could never have anticipated that even if he remained silent, Maja would still be targeted, as it was a requirement that Judith had made of Dylan from the very beginning.

So when Maja's phone was finally reachable, employees from Star Movie Group bombarded her with a dozen calls, all related to the company's new projects.

"Ms. Pennyfeather," one of the employees began, "Didn't we previously take over most of Simstar Entertainment's resources? But there's a rumor that a new company has purchased Simstar Entertainment and has offered several advantageous proposals to our partners. All of the companies that were originally going to collaborate with us have returned to Simstar Entertainment. It's as if the management of Simstar Entertainment has entirely changed, everything but the name."

Star Movie Group, though it had already swallowed quite a bit, was being stood up by its biggest collaborators because of new capital injection into Simstar Entertainment. It was not surprising that these profit-chasers would return to Simstar Entertainment.

Maja abruptly stood up, feeling a wave of dizziness.

"Do we know which family the capital that purchased Simstar Entertainment came from?" she asked.

"It seems to be the Sanders family."

Hearing this, Maja froze. Compared to the Sanders, one of the wealthiest families in North America, Star Movie Group was a small fish in a big pond.

The Sanders family had accumulated an immense amount of wealth over the years. There was a popular saying that if one looked down from the Sanders family's skyscraper, almost everything they saw belonged to them, and all of this was in the most luxurious spot in North America.

Maja frowned, was the Sanders family doing this to suppress her because of Judith?

She asked Zoey, "How many collaborations have we secured so far?"

"We were supposed to have half, but with the interference of the capital backing Simstar Entertainment, the biggest companies have all run back to them. We're back down to a quarter, and everyone in the company has been working around the clock for a week because of these big projects."

Everyone was frustrated at being stood up like this.

Maja took a deep breath, knowing that this was very likely Dylan's doing. His methods were swift and decisive, just as Ian's were.

Beck was slightly nicer to her, but he undoubtedly leaned towards his younger sister.

"Zoey, I'm coming to the office soon. Prepare the documents I need to review."

"Of course, Mr. Pennyfeather."

Maja quickly changed her clothes and drove off.

Upon arriving at the underground parking lot of Star Movie Group, she just got out of the car when she saw a man getting out of another car.

As a killer, he had his beliefs. If he died at the hands of a woman his lady despised, he would be seen as useless.

The knife that was about to slit Maja's throat stopped. He glared at her, and for some reason, he saw Mr. Sanders's aura in her.

It must be an illusion.

He pulled down his hat to make sure Maja didn't see his face and hurried to leave.

But at this crucial moment, the elevator door opened, and Zoey stepped out.

Zoey, knowing Maja was coming today, had been eager to meet her. She didn't expect to see Maja sitting in a pool of gasoline.

Zoey's eyes narrowed, and seeing the sharp knife in the man's hand, she instinctively moved towards Maja.

It was not to retreat to the elevator, but to protect Maja.

Seeing this, the man didn't hesitate to plunge the knife into Zoey's stomach.
