Female Novel
Chapter 944
She sensed that Cornelia might have made a decision that, while not illegal, might go against her own
conscience.
But she was an adult, and one who had been through the school of hard knocks.
From the look on her face, Maja knew that anything she might say would probably fall on deaf ears.
So, after thinking about it for a couple of minutes, she finally gave her answer.
"Just don't regret it later."
Cornelia didn't say anything, quickly finishing her cigarette and lighting up another.
By this time, Maja had already returned to her car.
Meanwhile, Alma was gloating about her victory to the person on the other end of the phone.
"Man, they were totally at a loss. I couldn't help but crack up, hahaha."
"You're getting a kick out of this petty stuff. It looks like Maja's really been giving you a hard time. Aren't
you from the Casson family? They're practically royalty in Greenfield."
Alma was stung by these words.
The female voice resumed.
"Whatever, hit them where it hurts or stir up some drama, just don't get caught red-handed. Your
brother's about to inherit the Casson fortune, he can cover for you as long as you don't go overboard."
Alma nodded, touching her face.
She really wished her face could go back to normal.
After hanging up the phone, just as Omar walked in, Alma immediately started acting cute.
"Bro, can you do me a solid? I want to mess with Zoey next."
Although she had been home all the time recently, she was far from idle. She had been gathering
information about the people around Maja.
She figured if she couldn't go after Maja directly, she could go after the people around her and leave
her isolated, right?novelbin
Ian wouldn't risk falling out with her over these nobodies.
Omar looked a bit grim. He had recently visited the house owned by the Sullivan family, only to find out
it had been sold.
He had once lived there with the Sullivans, those were happy times.
And they had been good to him, he wasn't exactly thrilled about all this.
Alma was tugging at his arm.
"Bro, please, I really hate Maja. You saw her face that night; she wanted to kill me."
Alma was laughing as she said this.
Omar just looked at her with a complicated expression, finally saying, "You should apologize to
Cornelia."
Alma thought she had heard wrong and looked up in disbelief.
"You want me to apologize to that bitch?"
"Alma, your words that day were really hurtful."
Alma found this hilarious and actually burst out laughing.
She knew her brother had done a lot for their grandfather, showing no mercy, and yet he still had a
heart.
"You're not hooked on her, are you? You've been with her for years; aren't you tired of her? Do you still
have feelings for her?"
"Alma!"
Alma looked up and said, "Did I say something wrong? You were with her for years; can't you find
someone new?"
Omar didn't say anything.
Again, Alma waved her hand and said, "Bro, can you assign me a few guys? Zoey doesn't have any
background and hasn't done any acting. If she's the next one to get picked, it shouldn't cause much of
a stir."
Omar finally gave in to her pestering and assigned her a few guys.
There was a glint in Alma's eyes and a hint of a smile on her lips. They would make their move tonight!
After returning to Rosewood Manor, Maja got a call from Jeff. From his tone, she could tell Ian was in a
bad mood.
"The boss is doing his best to recover, but he keeps mentioning you. Ms. Pennyfeather, why don't you
come see him?"
Maja had been busy with Cornelia these past few days and hadn't been to Greenfield Gardens.
She went to see Ian straight away. He was in his bedroom, looking a bit melancholic but otherwise
alright.
Maja sat by his bed. "Do you want some water?"
Before she had finished speaking, Elvis called to tell her that the location of Cornelia's shoot had
changed and they needed to travel to another country soon.
Maja had an idea immediately. She hung up the phone and softened her voice toward Ian.
"Do you want a late-night snack? I can make it myself."
Ian's face had been cold, he was even holding a book, pretending to read and ignoring her.
But hearing this, he stopped flipping the pages, thinking he must have heard wrong.
Maja was going to cook for him?
But then he pulled himself together.
She said this after receiving a phone call, which meant she might have an ulterior motive.
"I can make tacos; do you want some?"
Ian pretended to hesitate for three seconds.
"Are they good?"
