On the other end of the line, Linda was incessantly calling out Antonia's name. When she realized that the latter had removed her earbud and even ended the call, she was so furious that she almost flipped the table in front of her.
"That bitch actually dares to do this to me. Who does she think she is?!"
The group from wealthy families were still at Judith's villa, laughing uproariously at the scene.
"Linda, cool your jets. Maybe she accidentally unplugged."
"Right, it's just Maja. You don’t need to make a move. I heard from Dylan that Ian is about to face a lot of trouble. Without his protection, Maja is just trash."
"Getting angry with trash? How beneath you."
Hearing this, Linda's anger subsided, but she still felt a bitter taste in her mouth.
"That bitch took our money. I wanted her to extract more information from Maja, but it turns out Maja is a tough cookie. Now she has even hung up. What if they're in cahoots?"
"Linda, are you worried Maja might retaliate?"
The room erupted in laughter at the remark.
Linda became relaxed. Why would she be afraid of Maja's retaliation? Even if Maja knew, what could two pieces of trash do to scare her?
Suddenly, her face was full of smug satisfaction. She thought of Antonia as a dull, superficial woman. If Maja actually teamed up with her, it was only a matter of time before she got recriminated.
Linda started to interact with the group in the room. They didn't care about Maja anymore. They had enough money to continue buying Antonia off anyway. After all, the woman was money-driven, and Maja could never outbid them.
Over at the café.
The moment the headphones were removed, Maja took a slow sip of her coffee.
Antonia watched this woman for a long time before speaking, "Ms. Pennyfeather seems perfectly calm."
Maja put down her coffee cup.

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
