Chapter 963
The voice on the phone was sweet, one could tell it belonged to a woman born into wealth and privilege.
Shawn had just returned from a Hollywood film shoot, a project that had all his fans buzzing. If he wasn’t present
for the movie premiere, not only would Shawn face a barrage of online criticism, but the entire Star Movie Group
would be affected by that.
Just as Ms. Sanders had argued, Maja couldn’t bear the consequences of such a fallout.
Her sweet voice still echoed in Maja’s ears.
“Maja, from now on, you can’t seek out lan on your own accord. If you do, both you and your company will face
severe repercussions. I’m not a patient woman, don’t force me to take matters into my own hands. Otherwise, you
might not live to see the next sunrise.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the other end of the line went dead.
Maja stared at her disconnected phone, falling into a moment of silence.
Meanwhile, Beck received news that his sister was coming to Greenfield. He checked his phone to confirm the
message.
“Did big Bro allow you to come? Did Mom and Dad agree too?”
Ms. Sanders‘ voice was filled with a playful, coquettish tone.
“Both Mom and Bro agreed, only Dad is a bit hesitant. Beck, lan needs me right now. I want to be there for him, to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshow him who can help.”
Beck remained silent, feeling a headache coming on.
On one hand, he had a soft spot for Maja, believing she understood his temperament. On the other hand, his sister,
a pampered princess with a weak heart, was set on coming to Greenfield. If anything happened to her here, who
would take the blame?
“Sis, you should just stay in North America.”
“Beck, did you even bother persuading Maja to leave lan? You don’t care about my feelings at all, do you have
feelings for Maja as well?”
“Stop making things up!”
Beck shot back, letting out a sigh.
“Forget it, I won’t meddle anymore, as long as you can convince Dad.”
“Dad always listens to Mom, so he’ll definitely agree to my proposal. Beck, see you in Greenfield.”
Beck gave a little smile, but after hanging up the phone, he started worrying about Maja’s safety.
Once his sister arrived there, the bodyguards who always protected her would follow suit. If she actually wanted
Maja out of the picture, Maja could be in danger at any moment.
Meanwhile, Ms. Sanders was from one of North America’s top affluent families, the Sanders family, who also had
connections with some departments in Greenfield. She had the most powerful backing one could ask for. Even if
she ran amok there, there would be people to clean up the mess for her.
On the other side of town, it was evening.
Ever since Maja received that call, she had been deep in thought.
She couldn’t just sit around waiting for disaster to strike. She needed to make a move quickly.
A few minutes later, she arranged to meet with Ryan.
Ryan had just returned from abroad the previous night. That was their first meeting since he found out about Maja’s
true identity. He stared at Maja’s face for a long time before shaking his head slightly.
“Penny, what were you thinking when I introduced you to my cousin? Did you know then that lan had decorated
Greenfield Gardens for the woman he loved?”
Maja didn’t want to discuss that, instead, she casually asked, “Do you have lan’s father’s phone number?”
Aside from Holden, Steve could also be a potential ally.
She wasn’t sure about Steve’s stance yet, so it was necessary to find out which side he was on.
Ryan was silent for a moment before sending a string of digits to her phone.
Just as Maja was about to dial, Ryan explained the situation to her, “You can’t contact him, and neither can I. It’s
confidential, unless he initiates contact. But he rarely does, only his father can reach him. It’s nearly impossible for
anyone else.”
The glimmer of hope that had sparked in Maja’s heart suddenly went out.
Understanding the urgency, Ryan didn’t waste any more of her time.
“Penny, I’ll ask around. The Raymond family is currently in chaos, and I’m being watched by many.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs soon as he finished speaking, Maureen appeared behind Ryan.
Maureen rushed over, grabbed the coffee on the table and threw it straight at Maja’s face.
“You’re shameless, rushing to my son’s side now that lan’s in trouble. Maja, I can’t understand what lan saw in you.”
Ever since Maureen was publicly rebuked by Ryan twice, she had become somewhat irritable.
Fearing her son and herself would be ostracized by the Raymond family, she paid close attention to Ryan.
But she could clearly sense that Ryan’s attitude towards her had changed a lot.
In the past, he had idolized her. Although he feared her, it was out of respect. But now, they constantly argued
about many things.
“Maja, if you have any shame left, you should stay away from the Raymond family. Isn’t having lan’s child enough
for you? You’re so shameless, does your mother
know?”
Attacking someone with their deceased loved ones was unacceptable, and Maureen would never have resorted to
such tactics in the past.
Ryan shoved Maureen’s hand away; his face filled with disbelief.
It was as if a crack had suddenly appeared in their seemingly perfect life.
“Mom!”
“I’m doing this for your own good. Dennis is now in control of the entire Raymond family, if you provoke him, the
consequences will be severe for both of us!” Maureen’s tone was frosty, seeing Maja wiping the coffee off her
forehead, she let out a cold laugh.
“If you dare to meet Ryan alone again, I’ll take more drastic measures,”
