Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 2080

Stella hopped into the car, catching snippets of a phone conversation.

"Dig deeper. This guy has no beef with the Sanders family. Why's he suddenly gunning for Maja?"

A shiver ran through Stella's body, but knowing Beck's capabilities, she figured it wouldn't take long for him to uncover the truth.

Tonight, she couldn't risk visiting Beck's place.

"Beck, just drop me off at my place, please."

Beck shot her a puzzled look but didn't question her request, swiftly turning the steering wheel.

As Stella got out of the car, she wanted to say something, but Beck didn’t give her the chance, accelerating away.

Standing there, Stella let out a wry smile.

But her gloom was fleeting; excitement soon took over as she thought about Alan's downfall.

The man who once tormented her dreams was finally toppled by her hands.

Morgan was next in line.

Her lips curled into a smirk, heading back to her room, only to receive another call.

"Bonnie ran off to Jason, and given Jason’s reputation with women, she’s in for a rough time."

Stella was surprised; Bonnie was quite the strategist, managing to jump ship from Alan directly to Jason.

Her eyelashes fluttered down, a wave of unease washing over her at the thought of her own past with Jason.

Bonnie's fate in his hands didn't bode well, but Stella had bigger fish to fry than worrying about Bonnie's outcome.

Taking a deep breath, she headed to her room, still haunted by memories of that night.

Tonight, Boris was out, and Stella inquired about Morgan's whereabouts with the staff.

If Morgan was coming home tonight, sleep would evade her.

But exhaustion was setting in, and all she yearned for was a good night's rest.

"Ms. Sanders, the young master hasn’t called to say he’d be coming, and didn’t he run away from home?"

Morgan's departure was his own doing, and Boris had made it clear to the staff to turn him away if he sought refuge.

Boris was determined to teach Morgan a lesson this time around.

The call was to Morgan’s fair-weather friends, instructing them to cut him off, ensuring he faced more hardships.

With Boris's direct involvement, none dared to disobey.

Soon, Morgan found his usual hangouts refusing his company.

With little money and relying on friends for food and shelter, their avoidance left him starving.

The frustration was palpable, and upon investigating, Morgan learned it was his father's doing, likely Stella’s doing in snitching on him.

That woman, a thorn in his side since she became his stepsister, seemed to always be plotting against him.

Fuming, Morgan tried reaching out to other acquaintances, only to be met with rejection.

Just as desperation peaked, an opportunity for a shady deal came knocking, leveraging the Sanders family name.

The deal smelt fishy, but Morgan, cornered and unwilling to crawl back to Boris, was intrigued.

"What’s the deal?"

"Smuggling. It’s risky, but with the Sanders name, customs won’t bat an eyelid. You’d be looking at a cool fifty million in profit. But, there's a catch – you need to front a million."
