Chapter 299
“Don’t worry; I’ll complete the mission and make sure she has no dignity left.”
Carlene scoffed, “She never had any dignity to begin with. She’d better not show her face around here anymore.”
Dana accepted the mission and got right to it. Soon enough, rumors began to circulate among the high society ladies.
“lan’s wife is out partying every night; I heard lan treats her like she doesn’t exist.”
“Really? Doesn’t Holden care? Didn’t he handpick her?”
“Ha, Holden is just putting up with her out of gratitude for saving his life. I bet he’s already working out how to give her a pile of money and kick her out of the Raymond family”
“She doesn’t hold a candle to Carlene. No wonder lan has been sticking by her side since she returned.”
These rumors spread, and before long, everyone was expecting lan and Carlene to tie the knot.
Some people bet they would get married within a month, and some even wagered that Carlene would move into the Raymond family’s mansion by next week.
At that time, Mája was in the hospital with Carol Miller.
Carol came from a wealthy family, the Miller family, so she was also a socialite.
But she didn’t like to talk much. Seeing the rumors, she was livid.
“Maja, look at the nonsense these people are spouting. They’re calling you ugly, fickle: I want to take a picture of you right now and put them in their place! If you’re ugly, then Carlene’s face is a disaster!”
Maja was leaning quietly against the wall. There was no reaction in her eyes when she heard this.
“Let them talk.”
She was now the laughingstock of Greenfield. Then her departure wouldn’t cause any fuss later.
All the attention was on lan and Carlene anyway, so she could slip away quietly.
Carol looked at Maja, aware that she was stressed about her family issues and had no time to think about lan.
“Maja, I have to admit, I kind of admire you. When lan was with Carlene, a lot of women were jealous. So many wanted to marry him, and you’ve married him, but you’re still so calm.”
Maja had been leaning against the wall with her eyes closed, but she shifted uncomfortably at these words.
What she was thinking about now was not their first night together but the time at the hotel when he had pinned her against the cabinet in the hallway. The passion of that moment still made her heart race.
No one had ever treated Maja like this before, so her cheeks were now flushed.
Carol squinted her eyes and moved closer to take a closer look at Maja.
“Maja, are you sure there’s nothing between you and lan?”
Maja averted her gaze and responded calmly, “No.“–
She was so calm that Carol believed her.
“I can’t believe it. His face is right before you; any other woman would have made a move if the setting was even slightly romantic. I don’t know how you resist.”
Carol really admired her.
Maja pretended to look inside the hospital room as if she didn’t want to participate in the conversation.
So Carol didn’t say anything else.
At that moment, the doctor was changing the dressing for Neil Pennyfeather. The two bodyguards Carol had sent stood by the door, not letting anyone else in.
Carol couldn’t help but pat Maja on the shoulder..

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....
