Chapter 456
And she’s even got evidence–a painting that her master gifted her.
Edith had never messed up this badly in her life. If she didn’t show up in court, it’s a total snub to the law.
She’s shaking like a leaf, staring at the lawyer who delivered the subpoena.
“What else did she say?”
The lawyer was actually hired by Edith. She never saw this coming from Maja.
Neither did the lawyer. Who would ever think of suing their husband’s grandma?
T
And this was happening in the Raymond family, of all places.
In such upper–crust families, the women who marry usually show respect to the man’s family.
But someone just went full steam ahead.
Word was getting around in Greenfield, and people had started poking their noses into the Raymond family’s business.
The first person to be questioned was Ryan Elston. Ryan was in such shock that he spit out his drink.
“Say that again? Maja is suing my grandma?”
The gossipmongers’nod.
“Ryan, is this really happening?”
Ryan was confused. After asking his family, he found out it’s true.
And apparently, Maja was sticking to her guns, demanding a fair result from the law!
Ryan found this amusing. He set off for Raymond Mansion to get a firsthand look.
At the same time, he gave lan a call.
“Did you hear? Your wife is suing your grandma!”
Right now, lan was in Crystalbrook Valley. The Raymond family was still exploring the potential of a beach property there. The officials in Crystalbrook Valley wanted him to stay a couple more days to negotiate prices.
A hard offer to refuse.
So when he got the call, he frowned, thinking he must’ve heard it wrong.
“What did you say?”
“Your wife is suing your grandma! It’s the talk of the town. People were asking me about it today!”
lan’s first thought was, what the hell was that woman up to now?
“I’ll be back tonight!”
“You’d better hurry. I have a feeling things are about to hit the fan.”
After hanging up, Ryan headed straight to Raymond Mansion.
He’s not there for any particular reason. He’s just amazed at Maja’s guts for suing Grandma Edith. Wasn’t she afraid of getting kicked out of the Raymond family?
When he arrived, he found Edith arguing with her lawyer.
“What do you mean I can’t drop the case? Do you think she’s right? Who would believe that the painting is a fake? If she wants to sue me, fine. Then I’m suing her for stealing from the Raymond family!”
The lawyer was at a loss. “Edith, even if you want to sue her, that’ll have to wait. Right now, she’s suing you, and you have to show up in court.”
Edith’s face turned red, and she almost fainted.
Selena was also there, feeling like she’s in a dream. She can’t believe Maja had the nerve to sue Grandma Edith!
How did she even pull this off?
Of course, Edith didn’t want to go to court. She’s no spring chicken. If she actually went, she’ll be the laughingstock of the whole town!
She clenched her teeth. “Call Holden Raymond! Let him see the wonderful daughter–in–law he chose for lan!”
At this moment, Maja was at the Raymond family’s old house, tearfully telling her story to Grandpa Holden.
“Grandpa Holden, this is what happened.”
Holden had been resting at home these past few days. Hearing Maja’s words, he’s so angry he’s almost smoking.
“The painting was torn to pieces.
Maja feared that Edith and Selena might exaggerate the situation for Holden. And her suing Grandma Edith had shocked everyone. So she decided to inform Holden first.
Holden loved her dearly. He knew that Maja didn’t lose her temper easily. If she’s been pushed to sue, Edith must’ve really crossed the line.

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....
