Chapter 700
Mia was hiding not far away, hesitating to approach.
Suddenly, someone patted her shoulder. Mia screamed in fright, her face pale.
At the sound, everyone’s attention was drawn to Mia.
Feeling utterly embarrassed, Mia immediately turned to the person who had startled her. It was Evelyn.
There was a man with Evelyn, fairly handsome and youthful. His looks were above average but not strikingly handsome.
“Evelyn, you scared the hell out of me.”
“What are you doing here?”
Evelyn’s gaze drifted to Penny in the distance. She stiffened and instinctively looked at the man beside her.
That man was Murray.
Seeing that Murray hadn’t noticed Penny, Evelyn let out a sigh of relief.
Elsewhere, Sharon continued to mock Maja.
“Did I meet you somewhere before?”
Maja stiffened. She did find Sharon familiar but couldn’t remember where they had met.
Until Sharon spoke.
“At the Academy of Fine Arts of Solstice College’s party a few years back, the Haskins family was invited as investors. A student ran out from backstage in a rush. Was that you?”
Maja felt as if her heart was being squeezed tightly.
Back then, the Academy of Fine Arts of Solstice College had several investors, one of whom was Daniel.
And Maja, for her excellent grades and pretty face, was assigned to present flowers to these investors. At that time, Daniel told her he had forgotten something and asked her to fetch it.
Maja really followed Daniel backstage, and Daniel came straight at her.
Scared, Maja struggled and ran out of the crowded auditorium in embarrassment.
Everyone thought she had just tripped. But those investors were shrewd people, and they might have noticed what happened backstage.
Suddenly, Sharon realized, “I remember now, you were the student who hooked up with a man backstage even during the party!”
Sharon smirked, her mouth curling up.
“I wondered why you looked familiar. You haven’t changed, did you still relying on men? Seems like the man you were with that night didn’t give you much money. Did you get caught by his wife? Is that why you look so awkward now?”
The graduation ceremony was a sore spot for Maja, and now Sharon was relentlessly attacking her.
Maja remained silent, and Sharon seemed all the more exhilarated.
“Speechless? Who gives you the right to offend the Haskins family?”
Maja turned her head to look at the painting on the wall, ignoring Sharon.
Sharon, feeling triumphant, was suddenly taken aback by Maja’s calm demeanor, feeling like a clown putting on a wild performance.
So, she lifted her hand, without any hesitation, grabbed a glass of wine, and splashed it towards Maja.
A large pillar blocked the view, so nobody around noticed.
Just as Sharon was about to mock Maja’s awkwardness, a glass of red wine splashed all over her.
Maja wanted to just let it slide, and she really couldn’t afford to offend the Haskins family.
But Sharon clearly didn’t want to let it go so easily.
Since lan was willing to help her solve this problem, what’s the harm in offending Sharon?
Whatever she did tonight, she had already offended the Haskins family.
“Mrs. Sharon, since you love splashing wine on people, why don’t you taste it yourself? And about Mia’s photo, if I’m not in a good mood, I might just share it with others. Let’s see if the Haskins family can handle the scandal.”
Sharon’s face was covered in red wine, which was still dripping down her cheeks.
It was quite a scene here. Initially, no one noticed them, but due to the wine splashing, people around quickly turned their attention.
Sharon had never been humiliated like this, and she stared at Maja in disbelief.
“Bang!”
Sharon smashed the wine glass in her hand.
“I won’t let you off today. Security, kick her out!”
The Haskins family had a huge influence in Greenfield. As soon as Sharon gave the order, the security guards rushed over.
Just as they were about to make a move, a cold male voice rang out.

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....
