Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1363

On the other side of town, Augus had been rushed to the hospital.

The doctor was just about to start an IV when the needle pierced his skin and Augus woke up abruptly.

Ripping the needle from his arm, he bolted downstairs without a second glance.

Back at the Sanders estate, the news of Augus's accident had reached Dylan and Arlene, who were both preparing to head out.

But as they reached the front door, they saw a car pull up in the driveway, and to their surprise, Augus stepped out.

Dylan couldn't shake the feeling that his father was carrying a heavy burden, as if a fierce storm of emotions were raging within him.

"Honey, what's wrong? You look so worn out," Arlene said, rushing toward him, attempting to take his coat.

But Augus didn't even glance at her, his gaze fixed on Dylan.

Dylan stood at the entrance, nodding with a detached tone, "Father."

In the next instant, Augus stormed in, hurling a vase from the console table at Dylan.

Caught off guard, Dylan took the hit to his forehead, blood instantly trickling down.

Arlene gasped, trembling as she quickly moved to shield Dylan.

"Darling, what's gotten into you? Why are you so furious? What has Dylan done?"

Worry and pain filled Arlene's eyes as she tried to tend to Dylan's wound.

But Dylan didn't budge, stubbornly standing his ground.

He too wanted to know what unforgivable sin he had committed to provoke his father's wrath.

With a stony face, he saw Augus slowly make his way to the couch, his gaze growing colder, sharp as knives.

Dylan had always been the apple of his father's eye, never before on the receiving end of such resentment.

It hurt.

Augus slumped into the couch, his voice saturated with disgust.

"Tell me what you've been up to tonight."

At first, Dylan thought to conceal his involvement in Judith's scheme, but seeing Augus's demeanor, he suspected his father might already know.

"I helped Judith deal with Ian's girl."

Augus could barely suppress a laugh.

Deal with Ian's girl?

Judith must have known that the real heiress was visiting tonight, so she spun a tale about that girl being Ian's girl, egging Dylan on to do her dirty work.

Augus's heart shook with fury, barely restraining himself from lashing out at Dylan.

She would never have to leave the Sanders family again. She had Dylan wrapped around her finger and was set for a lifetime of adoration.

As for Maja, she was nothing but a lowly servant.

Dreaming of becoming the princess of the Sanders family? A country bumpkin like Maja had no right to such fantasies!

Judith's face beamed with anticipation, lost in her delusions of grandeur.

Then, a knock at her door jolted her back to reality. Expecting Dylan, she quickly rose from her bed.

"Dylan?"

But it was the bodyguard who stood outside.

"Ms. Sanders, your father wants to see you."

Judith tensed up immediately. In the entire Sanders family, Augus was the one she feared the most.

If Augus had found out about her deception, there could only be one reason for summoning her: he was ready to cast her out of the Sanders family.

"Where's my brother? Where's mom?"

"They are all downstairs."

Relief washed over Judith. As long as they were there, she wouldn't be cast out.
