Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1264

Why on earth did Lillian marry Neil back in the day? Given her social status, she shouldn't have mingled with ordinary folk like him. But it seemed they'd known each other since childhood, and Lillian's family still resided in Crystalbrook Valley, where her uncle lived.

Though all her uncle's family had passed away.

It struck her hard. With her uncle's family gone, who in the world could vouch for Lillian's existence now?

She felt a chill creeping up her spine at the thought, but the man continued to remind her.

"You're the heir she chose, the future leader of BK. And I'm just the current holder of power in BK. Until you take over, I'm responsible for you, regardless of your future status or who you love. I can interfere as of now, that's the rule of BK. Maja, if you follow the path Lillian has planned for you, you'll gain a lot. But before that, you'll lose a lot too."

Maja's hand was still gripping the iron rod, but her grip had softened.

The sound of Patric's footsteps echoed outside, followed by the door being pushed open.

Hearing the noise earlier, Patric knew Maja had been hitting the wall with her hand.

"Maja, what are you up to?"

He stood at the doorway, switching on the light inside.

Seeing Maja standing by the window, blending with the night in silence, he noticed the blood stains on the wall and felt annoyed.

He knew that Maja wouldn't talk now, so he approached her.

"I've decided to get engaged to you next month. I'll announce the news tomorrow. I'll cure the poison Dylan gave you. You should know that there's nothing in the lab that I'm not aware of."

As he moved closer, the empty look in her eyes irritated him more.

It must be Eric's influence on him, he needed to find a way to completely get rid of Eric.

"As long as you behave."

After saying this, he reached out to touch her neck, but she seemed to sense it and quickly turned her head to dodge.

His hand brushed through air and he slowly withdrew it.

"By that time, Ian will also know about our engagement. You and he will have no chance by then. Even if I can't become the president of the Raymond Corporation, I'll break his heart. The more Ian pretends not to care, the more he cares, just like a child."

Having received some of Eric's childhood memories, Patric understood Ian better.

He gave Maja a deep look before heading out, turning off the light as he left.

"You'd better behave. I wouldn't want to install surveillance here where you sleep."

After he left, Maja gently tapped the armchair beside her, making sure the man in her earpiece could hear.

She was sending Morse code.

"Is Lillian really still alive?"

"Yes, Maja, she loves you. That's why she's protected you so well over the years. Otherwise, your uncle's family would have died earlier. Also, Lillian herself is a very powerful hypnotist."

How powerful?
