Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1399

The glare that followed her was venomous to the core. Had glares possessed the power to kill, she would have met her demise a thousand times over.

Maja arched an eyebrow slightly before the chorus of jeers reached her ears. She hadn't intended to join the fray, yet a familiar voice cut through the commotion.

"Let go of me! Let go! I am Ms. Sanders!"

"Ha! Ms. Sanders, my foot! Sold into this place; you're mine now. You'll bear me a brood of three or five before you even dream of walking free!"

Maja's frown deepened. Peering through the crowd, she indeed saw Judith sprawled on the ground. How on earth had Judith ended up in this disorderly land?

Their eyes met, and a glimmer of hope shone in Judith's, "Maja, get me out of here! If not, I'll tattle to Dylan!"

The plea was almost laughable, couched as it was in such a lofty tone.

Besides, Ian had filled her in on all the recent drama. Judith wasn't a blood Sanders, and as for Jolin, word was that Dylan had trotted off to Greenfield to investigate personally. Fitch had regained consciousness too and was on the case. It wouldn't be long before the truth came out.

She had no desire to engage with this woman, but then Judith scrambled up and clung to her leg.

"Maja, I came looking for my brother. Just tell me where he is, and I’ll leave this place immediately. Have mercy, please! I was wrong to speak to you like that before."

Maja wasn't one to turn the other cheek, especially not when Judith had nearly sent her to an early grave. Why should she lift a finger to help?

Her brow furrowed as she watched a man surge forward from behind Judith, seizing her by the ankle.

"You wretched thing! I've paid good money for you, and you dare try to escape!"

A slap landed across Judith's cheek.

Judith fixed Maja with a pained stare, but her eyes were brimming with resentment. One day, she'd kill that wretch!
