The voice on the phone was sweet, one could tell it belonged to a woman born into wealth and privilege.
Shawn had just returned from a Hollywood film shoot, a project that had all his fans buzzing. If he wasn't present for the movie premiere, not only would Shawn face a barrage of online criticism, but the entire Star Movie Group would be affected by that.
Just as Ms. Sanders had argued, Maja couldn't bear the consequences of such a fallout.
Her sweet voice still echoed in Maja's ears.
"Maja, from now on, you can't seek out Ian on your own accord. If you do, both you and your company will face severe repercussions. I'm not a patient woman, don't force me to take matters into my own hands. Otherwise, you might not live to see the next sunrise."
As soon as she finished speaking, the other end of the line went dead.
Maja stared at her disconnected phone, falling into a moment of silence.
Meanwhile, Beck received news that his sister was coming to Greenfield. He checked his phone to confirm the message.
"Did big Bro allow you to come? Did Mom and Dad agree too?"
Ms. Sanders' voice was filled with a playful, coquettish tone.
"Both Mom and Bro agreed, only Dad is a bit hesitant. Beck, Ian needs me right now. I want to be there for him, to show him who can help."
Beck remained silent, feeling a headache coming on.
On one hand, he had a soft spot for Maja, believing she understood his temperament. On the other hand, his sister, a pampered princess with a weak heart, was set on coming to Greenfield. If anything happened to her here, who would take the blame?
"Sis, you should just stay in North America."
"Beck, did you even bother persuading Maja to leave Ian? You don't care about my feelings at all, do you have feelings for Maja as well?"
"Stop making things up!"
Beck shot back, letting out a sigh.
"Forget it, I won't meddle anymore, as long as you can convince Dad."
"Dad always listens to Mom, so he'll definitely agree to my proposal. Beck, see you in Greenfield."
Beck gave a little smile, but after hanging up the phone, he started worrying about Maja's safety.
Once his sister arrived there, the bodyguards who always protected her would follow suit. If she actually wanted Maja out of the picture, Maja could be in danger at any moment.
Meanwhile, Ms. Sanders was from one of North America's top affluent families, the Sanders family, who also had connections with some departments in Greenfield. She had the most powerful backing one could ask for. Even if she ran amok there, there would be people to clean up the mess for her.
On the other side of town, it was evening.
Ever since Maja received that call, she had been deep in thought.
She couldn't just sit around waiting for disaster to strike. She needed to make a move quickly.

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....
