Chapter 81
Olivia’s voice was booming, with no restraint whatsoever.
lan’s stride faltered momentarily, a hint of contempt flashing in his eyes.
He remembered Maja once claiming that her relationship with her husband was solid.
It seemed like her marriage wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows.
But an unhappy marriage could be ended. If divorce wasn’t even considered, it meant something else was up.
Was she head over heels for the guy?
Maja looked at Olivia, feeling annoyed. She whipped out her phone, and called Daly.
But no one picked up on the other end, she got jittery in an instant.
It was sweltering outside. Daly was out there alone. If he passed out by the roadside, no one would have a clue.
“Olivia, come with me to pick up Daly.”
Olivia rolled her eyes, I’m not going unless you give me a hundred grand.”
Maja thought she heard wrong. How thick–skinned could Olivia be to say such a thing.
She got serious, “You want to say that again?”
Olivia looked up, ready to repeat herself, but seeing Maja’s fierce look, she got scared, shivering. She stuttered, “What… what are you going to do?”
“Just because others put up with you doesn’t mean I have to. You’d better not give me a reason:
A flicker of panic flashed in blivia’s eyes, but she straightened up immediately.
“Dont you dare threaten me here! What weakness could I possibly have? Your family has been cold–hearted enough to me! I married your cousin, and he just left me high and dry. He said he’d always take care of me. Pfft, it’s been your whole family owing me all along!”
Maja didn’t bother arguing. She drove off to find Daly.
Maja drove slowly along the same route, calling Daly, but no one picked up.
She was anxious. Half an hour later, she found Daly passed out by the roadside.
Maja was startled, quickly took out a bottle of water and splashed it on his face.
Daly slowly woke up and saw her. His lips moved twice, he was hot, but didn’t have the energy to talk.
Maja helped him into the car, “I’ll take you to the hospital.”
Daly sat in the passenger’s seat. The world in front of him was spinning.
“Maja, don’t quarrel with Oli. It’s us who did her wrong about your cousin. Your cousin messed up. Your dad let him work in his company. He even dared to run off with a few hundred grand of client’s money! Then he gambled it away, that one million plus dollars. Your aunt and I have been paying off the loan sharks. Ol’s been with us, always being gossiped about by the neighbors…”
Maja gripped the steering wheel, feeling helpless.
It was a fact that her cousin stole the client’s money, nearly costing the Pennyfeather family several key projects.

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....
