Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1048

Mia couldn't help but feel a little smug. If Maja had indeed been discarded by Ian, then this woman meant nothing to her.

They were just a fledgling company, and the Haskins family could crush them as easily as squashing an ant.

Mia felt her chance for revenge was at hand.

Unaware of Mia's hostility, Clara thought she was there to help.

"Judge for yourselves, folks," she announced. "She's a big-shot CEO now. I'm just trying to get some money. That's not too much to ask, is it? At her level, money is the least valuable thing. A few thousand dollars, wasn't that easy for her to give away? And she only wanted to give me three thousand dollars yesterday. I gave birth to her; what's three thousand dollars to that?"

Everyone's eyes fell on Maja. No matter the reason, being publicly criticized at such an event was undoubtedly embarrassing. And there were a lot of business associates present.

Maja, however, seemed unperturbed, as if she was an outsider.

Mia couldn't stand her composed demeanor, the pretense of superiority.

Even though Maja was nothing but dirt in her eyes, she had been disadvantaged by her.

When she thought about it, the shame was unbearable.

"Maja, since these are your biological parents, maybe you should ask them to leave. This is not the place for a family reunion," Mia suggested, crossing her arms.

Mia had recovered a lot in the past few days. Previously, the sight of Maja made her fearful. Now, she was no longer afraid of her.

Maja's brow furrowed. She glanced around and saw everyone enjoying the spectacle.

In this situation, she couldn't explain herself, especially considering Clara was shameless, lying on the floor like a shrew.

"What did I do to deserve such a daughter?" Clara cried. "This woman's so vile. I should not have given birth to her."

Clara was lying on the ground when a pair of leather shoes came into her line of sight. She looked up to see a stunningly handsome man.

Ian had been on the second floor all along. He had seen Maja as soon as she arrived.

He watched her move among the guests, but she didn't converse with the business associates. Occasionally, when someone stopped her, she quickly finished the conversation and left.

She was looking for someone, most likely him.

This realization eased his anger somewhat, but he still didn't go down to meet her. He enjoyed watching her search for him like a headless chicken.

That was until he saw the couple approaching her.

Now Ian stood in front of Clara, who was so frightened that she quickly scrambled to her feet. Not because she knew the man, but because she found his gaze terrifying as if he was about to tear her apart.
