Female Novel
Chapter 1224
Ian tossed her aside, his focus entirely on Dylan.
Dylan felt as if he was no longer human, but a raging lion, devoid of any rational thought.
Ian took out a cigarette, his pinky finger casually holding the gun.
As he lit his cigarette, his features were obscured by the smoke that curled around him.
Fitch knew Ian best and in a split second, threw himself onto Dylan and Beck, forcing them to the
ground.
The next moment, bullets whizzed past where they had just been standing.
If they hadn't ducked in time, those bullets would have pierced their chests.
Fitch strode over and grabbed the gun from Ian's hand.
"Ian, calm down. Let’s check around first."
Ian didn't respond, his leather shoe landing heavily on Judith's hand.
Judith woke up with a start, wincing in pain as Ian asked,
"Where is she?"
The sound of his voice was chilling to her, akin to the grim reaper calling her name.
She was genuinely scared, knowing that if she hesitated even a moment, Ian would kill her without a
second thought.
"Please, I don't know, I swear, I don't know. Beck, help me."
But no one could stop the manic Ian.
"I don't know, I only threw a flower pot at her. She fell down, and I thought she was dead. Her body
should be there. I don't know where she went. I really don't know."
Ian's foot pressed down even harder, crushing Judith's fingers.
"It hurts, it hurts. Dad, help me."
She was in so much pain that she started babbling incoherently, oblivious to the fact that just a few
hours ago, Maja had been subjected to a thousand-fold more pain than her.
Dylan couldn't stand it anymore. Everyone in the villa came out, guns in their hands, all pointed at Ian.
Ian simply flicked his cigarette away, laughing coldly.
"Dylan, if your men dare to shoot, I guarantee that none of you will leave Greenfield alive."
Dylan's face hardened. If this were in North America, he would have had the guts to challenge Ian.
But this was Greenfield, and Fitch was standing right beside Ian.
"Let go of Judith. I'll help you find Maja."
Ian lowered his eyes, hearing Fitch's advice, "We haven't found Maja's body yet. She might not be
dead. But if we continue to delay, it's hard to say. Let's look around first, she might have run away."
Ian finally regained his senses, nodding slowly.
Greenfield was in uproar. The Raymond family, the Haskins family, the Sanders family, all were
searching for Maja.
Greenfield had never seen such a spectacle before. Rumors started circulating that Judith was almost
killed by Ian.
[Ian shot Judith. She's in the hospital now, the one our family invested in. Dylan looks reallynovelbin
exasperated.]
[Judith was shot twice, her fingers broken. Ian is ruthless.]
[Don't forget, we all said not to provoke him. When he gets crazy, he won’t care about the
consequences.]
Those words silenced the crowd.
Indeed, those rich families had all warned them not to offend Ian.
Now that Judith had crossed him, he didn't even care about the influence of the Sanders family.
The three powers mobilized, turning Greenfield upside down.
But by dawn, there was still no sign of Maja. It was as if she had vanished into thin air.
Ian sat in his car, his eyes red, the cigarette in his fingers burning down to the stub, but he didn't seem
to notice.
The car door was yanked open, and Fitch was nearly choked by the smoke inside.
He heard Ian’s query, "Did you find her?"
