Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1365

Augus had no idea that the whole scenario was a setup, masterminded by Phelps who played everyone like a chess master, exploiting their fears and insecurities, and creating a perfect storm of misinformation.

In Augus's eyes, he was expecting the arrival of his estranged daughter.

Meanwhile, Dylan, duped by the cunning Judith, believed he was targeting Maja and her close associates.

As for Judith, she had pieced together that Maja was the true Sanders heiress. Cast out or not, she'd sooner take her secrets to the grave than see Maja inherit the Sanders dynasty.

And then there was Maja, who was under the impression that Dylan had orchestrated the night's events to eliminate both Phelps and the supposed true heiress, not realizing she herself was the one.

With each person fed a different narrative, the truth was nowhere to be found, and hatred took root.

It was a flawless plan.

Dylan was on his knees for an hour before his people brought the new paternity test results.

No biological relation.

It was like a gunshot to his head. He stared in disbelief at the document.

Augus had anticipated this outcome. He seemed to age a decade in that moment, his normally straight posture now stooped.

Dylan grew anxious, and Judith, like a drowning woman clutching at straws, latched onto his arm.

"Bro, what am I gonna do if I'm not a Sanders? They're gonna kick me out, aren't they? Please, you gotta help me. I can't stand the thought of begging on the streets."

She crawled to Arlene and clung to her legs.

"Mom, you always loved me best. Help me, please!"

"Was all your love just a lie? Was I the only one who considered us family?"

Even a dog would become attached after twenty-odd years at someone's side.

Arlene patted her head gently.

"Now, you've let an imposter kill your own sister! Get out! I no longer acknowledge you as my son!"

Judith, flanked by two bodyguards, was unable to utter one tone.

Jolin?

The true Sanders heiress was Maja, obviously!

Damn it, had Jolin, that counterfeit who'd surfaced around Ian, been the one to die?

Ian's actions had been so public, Judith would've had to be blind not to notice.

So Augus still didn't know Maja was the Sanders princess.

Well, she wouldn't be the one to tell him. She would rather die than see Maja live a life of luxury!
