Female Novel
Chapter 1275
Dylan felt a jolt of regret, wishing he could undo his past actions. Now, dealing with a deaf and blind
woman who couldn't even write was a huge challenge. The only option seemed to be making the trip to
Greenfield himself.
But time was of the essence. Judith had been missing for over twenty-four hours and there was no
telling what she was going through.
He felt a mix of rage and helplessness.
"Eric, I need you to use Maja to get information about Judith from Ian. If I don't find Judith soon, she's
done for," he said, a sense of desperation and anger in his voice.
Patric, on the other end of the line, didn't react much to Dylan's panic. Maja was equally unfazed. She
didn't have a shred of sympathy for Judith and hoped something bad would happen to her. She wanted
Dylan to get his comeuppance.
Wouldn't it be great if Judith wasn't really a Sanders? Dylan would be crushed and that thought brought
a smile to Maja's lips.
"What are you smiling at?" Patric asked, noticing her grin.
Her smile vanished, replaced with a blank expression as she turned her face towards the direction of
the breeze.
Patric's face darkened. "Why do I get the feeling that you're in a good mood today?"
Maja ignored him. This was their usual dynamic, after all.
Patric felt a wave of annoyance. "There's a woman who looks a lot like you hanging around Ian lately.
She's his new favorite. Rumor has it they spent three days and nights together in a hotel. What do you
think they were doing?"
Maja didn't react to his attempts to stir up trouble. However, she had smelled a faint hint of perfume on
Ian the day before. By the time he came to see her again, it was gone. He must have changed his
clothes on purpose.
"Maja, when I proposed to you, my parents were thrilled. They've decided to start planning the
engagement party. What do you think?"novelbin
Maja's eyes flashed with mockery. She was curious about Patric's true intentions.
Perhaps Ian had made the right choice by staying here. She could find out what Patric was up to.
Seeing the scorn on her face, Patric was furious. He wanted to lunge at her, but the last shred of his
rationality held him back.
He stormed off down the hallway, punching the wall in frustration.
His breathing grew erratic. He wasn't sure if his emotional outburst was due to his feelings for Eric, or
something else.
"Eric! Get out here and explain yourself!" he yelled, his face turning red with anger.
Why did he feel so upset when Maja mocked him? Why hadn't he killed her when he lost his position
as CEO of the Raymond Corporation?
Eric cared about her. If Patric killed her, Eric might disappear for good.
Wasn't that what he wanted?
Yet he had never thought about killing Maja.
Patric punched the wall a few more times, his knuckles bleeding.
"Are you influencing me, Eric? When will you finally disappear?" he yelled, getting no response.
It seemed like Eric had disappeared. But Patric knew better. There was still a trace of him left.
He took a deep breath, grimacing as he tended to his wounded hand. Maybe he really should kill Maja.
Meanwhile, Ian stood quietly around the corner, listening to Patric's rant and the sound of his fist hitting
the wall.
Ian raised an eyebrow as another low growl came from Patric.
"I am not your second personality, Eric. If you don't disappear for good, I swear I'll kill Maja."
