Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 311

Chapter 311 

Carlene was as white as a sheet; why would Maja show up just now? 

Maja looked at her, showing a bit of surprise. 

“Ms. Shepard, have you met that woman? Why would you think it was me? If I didn’t show up today, would everyone think I’m some kind of floozy?” 

That’s exactly it. If Maja hadn’t shown up, these people would think the designer lan hired was getting cozy with a bodyguard. Rumors spread like wildfire. 

Carlene broke out in a cold sweat at the question. If she answered wrong, her reputation would take a hit. 

She quickly spoke up. 

“Penny, you only showed up for a bit last night and then left, I thought…” 

“You thought it was me without even checking. We don’t have any beef; if it’s because I’m working for Mr. Raymond, then you can talk to him about ending our partnership instead of trying to smear my name behind my 

back.” 

Hearing this, Carlene’s eyes instantly reddened, and she bowed her head. 

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to; I heard the bodyguard call out your name.” 

She didn’t hesitate to throw the bodyguard under the bus. 

The bodyguard froze; he had no idea who Penny was. 

Maja looked at him and spoke. 

“I’ve never met you.” 

The bodyguard’s throat went dry with fear; these were all high–status people, and he couldn’t afford to offend them. 

He quickly defended himself. 

“I’m sorry, this woman’s also called Penny, so I just called her that; I’m sorry, I have to take her and leave now.” 

Dana had been quietly tugging at the bodyguard’s hand, shaking like a leaf. 

She thought she could get away with it, but now that Penny had actually shown up. If she stayed here any longer, her cover would be blown! 

She would definitely lose her reputation then! 

She kept pinching the bodyguard, who quickly wrapped his arm around her and tried to move forward. 

As she passed Connie, Connie subtly stuck out her leg, blocking the woman who didn’t dare show her face. 

She tripped forward, her clothes instantly falling off, leaving her in an awkward heap on the floor. 

When she got up, her hickey–covered body and face were exposed for all to see. 

There were gasps. 

“Isn’t that Dana?” 

“When did Dana start going by Penny? Does she even have that name?” 

“Carlene should’ve seen Dana’s face just now; if she did and still let us continue misunderstanding, then…” 

Afraid of being implicated, Carlene immediately put on a surprised face. 

“Dana? You…how…” 

Dana was seething with anger, wanting to leave in embarrassment. 

Her legs were weak, and she was in shock; she couldn’t stand up for a while. 

Maja stood by, looking down at Dana, and softly laughed. 

“So it’s Ms. Shepard again.” 

This sentence was full of implications, telling everyone that these two women were in cahoots and Carlene was likely covering up on purpose, trying to protect Dana’s reputation. 

Carlene was angry. At this point, she could only throw Dana under the bus to bear the brunt of public opinion. 

She raised her hand and, without hesitation, slapped Dana. 

“You’re such a disappointment! How could you do something like this!”
