Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1299

Ian promptly moved to a corner and dialed Fitch.

"Look into Zoey's stepdad, see what dirt you can dig up, and put him behind bars."

Fitch's voice was indifferent, a cigarette lazily between his fingers.

"Why the sudden interest in her family drama?"

"Her mom had the audacity to insult Maja."

Fitch paused for a few seconds, then chuckled, "Alright, I'm on it."

Little did they know, Zoey's stepfather had a pretty extensive rap sheet. He used to be a school security guard, but was reported by parents for inappropriate behavior towards children.

Despite the severity of his actions, the school, in an attempt to protect its reputation, swept the matter under the rug. The man was still working as a security guard.

He wasn't making much money, and together with Belinda, they were living off Zoey's earnings.

Fitch's eyes turned cold. He reported the matter, and within an hour, the hefty man was taken away.

But Belinda was still oblivious. She was now guarded by two bodyguards and seemed to have finally grasped that Ian was not someone to be trifled with.

Meanwhile, in the office, Maja had taken a seat.

"Zoey, what is going on? How did you get those bruises?"

She was aware of Zoey's past with Murray. Knowing Zoey's personality, she wouldn't have found a new boyfriend so quickly.

Zoey stood silent in front of her, tears streaming down her face.

Maja, unable to see, assumed she was just keeping quiet.

"What your mom said? Was it true?"

She never talked about the changes she went through during her seven years with Murray.

"When my parents divorced, I thought my dad would miss me. But he told me that if it weren't for my mom, he wouldn't have let me be born. He wanted a son instead. Before he said those words, I always thought he was a good father who gave me warmth. But it turned out even his love was fake."

Zoey didn't want to talk anymore, tears streaming down her face.

She was glad Maja couldn't see her, quickly wiping her tears with her sleeve.

"I'll hand in my resignation this afternoon. I'll handle the issue with my mom and won't bother the company anymore."

"And how do you plan to handle it?"

Maja's voice was calm, her eyebrows furrowed in concern.

"I'll get you a therapist to gradually wean you off your mother. If you need something to hold onto, why not invest your emotions in Star Movie Group?"
