Female Novel
Chapter 1663
Maja had been waiting for another ten minutes, but Zoey still refused to come out.
With no other options, she had to leave.
Getting back into her car, the warmth inside eased the irritation she felt from the cold.
Instead of heading back to the office, Maja decided to meet up with Elvis.
But Elvis wasn't fully clued in on all the drama surrounding Zoey; all he was aware of was the big fallout she had with Mia.
"| just can't believe Zoey would hit someone with her car. | found several witnesses from that night, and they all said the driverran over the victim three times on purpose."
Such brutality didn't seem like Zoey at all.Maja's expression darkened. It was highly likely that Zoey was taking the fall for someone else.But who could have convinced her to so willingly take the blame?
"There's something else. There was this recording going around the high society circles, supposedly between Zoey and Mia.Zoey’s stepfather got Mia... well, let's just say the recording left her reputation in tatters. Right after that, Zoey was taken away bythe Haskins family, and | haven't been able to find out what happened next. If the Haskins family wanted to keep it under wraps,there's no way | could investigate."
Maja was sharp as a tack. She immediately tried calling Mia, but her number had been disconnected. Clearly, the Haskins familydidn't want Mia to be reachable, which was suspicious.
With her lips pursed, she turned toBeck."Beck, take me to Fitch," she ordered.
Beck might not have been the sharpest tool in the shed, but even he could guess out that this mess had something to do withFitch.
Now, with all the people Zoey cared about gone, there was no family of her own, and the only person left who mattered to herwas Fitch.
If she really was taking the fall for someone, and it was for a spoiled brat like Mia, then only Fitch could have persuaded her.Fitch.Maja blinked, wishing she could storm over right this second.
Fresh from a meeting, Fitch was informed by his assistant that someone was waiting in his office, and she seemed pretty firedup. He couldn't imagine who it might be.
As he opened the door and saw Maja, his eyelashes fluttered in surprise — he hadn't expected her to return from abroad.Maja sat on the couch, her demeanor vastly different from before.
She was the darling princess of the Sanders family, who had been doted on by two older brothers and was the beloved of lan.lan had just received commendation from the higher-ups. If he were to return home, it would be with honor.
Maja sat upright; her gaze at Fitch was filled with scorn.
"Mr. Haskins’ sister suddenly left the country and even canceled her phone number. Quite the rush — is she afraid someonemight uncover something?”
Fitch walked to his office chair but didn't sit. His demeanor was calm.“Haven't you figured it out already?" he replied evenly.
Maja had rarely been angry lately. She had been trying to control her emotions, considering the stress wasn't good for someonepregnant.
She stood up, strode over to his desk, and grabbed a pile of documents, hurling them at Fitch's face.The impact startled him, but he said nothing.
"You think it's okay to bully her because she has no powerful family and fancy background, not like your precious sister, right?Fitch, you're just exploiting her feelings for you," she accused.novelbin
Fitch frowned, feeling that familiar sting in his heart resurfacing.
Of course, he knew Zoey harbored feelings for him, but ever since he had slapped her at the Haskins estate, that intenseaffection seemed to have vanished.
He thought she must have stopped liking him, especially after she had been driven to despair.
But the next time they met, he could still sense her affection, albeit more restrained and cautious — she was even fearful ofglancing his way.
He couldn't understand how someone could love another so deeply and yet be so humble.
He bent down to pick up the scattered papers, only to be halted by Maja's interrogation."What did you say to her? How did you bewitch her into agreeing?"
Fitch stooped to slowly gather the documents from the floor.
There were too many, scattered everywhere; it was impossible to collect them all quickly."| told her that when she gets out, I'll marry her."

Fitch truly knew how to manipulate her.
"You're despicable," Maja said through gritted teeth.
