Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1384

“Ian, although my time with Lillian was short, the love I received from her filled all the voids of my youth. She was a wise woman who loved me deeply. If she knew I was being bullied like this, she wouldn't just stand by. Whenever I was beaten by my grandparents, she was always the first to rush to my defense. And when the other kids called me names, she'd stand up to their parents tooth and nail. Lillian always did whatever she could to protect me. If this BK thing is really related to her, then the people there should be treating her chosen successor with kindness.”

Maja's voice was even as she looked at Ian, “I couldn’t sense the slightest respect there, so I've come to realize something. Lillian does have ties to BK, but since she chose to live incognito in Crystalbrook Valley, perhaps she escaped BK at that time. Phelps wants me back to help him claim his position—that might because his position is shaky, and he needs something very important.”

“What he needs?”

“The Jellyfish Seal.”

Her eyelashes fluttered slightly as she spoke this, her voice a bit hoarse.

“It was something I found in Crystalbrook Valley, something Lillian had hidden away. If BK was truly at her command, such a massive organization would be a huge asset. Regardless of who her adversaries were back then, she wouldn't have to live in hardship in Crystalbrook Valley. So, it's highly likely that BK could no longer aid her back then. That’s why she took the most important thing with her. Besides, with my uncle's family all gone, those people are likely to search for the Jellyfish Seal. Whoever holds the seal, is the true leader of BK.”

Having blown the place to smithereens, Maja and Ian returned together by helicopter.

When they reached the seventh floor, the two shared a passionate kiss.

As they gasped for air, Ian cradled her face.

“I think I've understood BK's current situation. Any organization in its later stages will see infighting, and BK is of no exception. Some back your mother, but many more are in Phelps’s camp. Your mother took off with the seal. In that case, even if Phelps wants to be the boss, he’d face resistance from the old fogies. That's why he's turned to you—Lillian's handpicked heir, and it’s likely you hold the Jellyfish Seal. If you also side with Phelps, what does it matter if he claims not the official title? All he needs is a firm grip on you.”

“He trains you, boosts you up, and you're grateful to him, treating him like a mentor. Without lifting a finger, he can silence those old stalwarts.”

Maja nodded as she was pinned down onto the bed.

But she still put up a hand to stop him.

“No, you're not healed yet.”

Ian sweated with efforts of restraint, especially after the night’s escapade. Now back in this room, he desired her more than ever.
