Female Novel
Chapter 977
Maja's eyes were still blurred from sleep, and she was slow to comprehend what she was hearing. It
took her a moment to remember she was calling Ian, and the voice pouring through the speaker
belonged to the princess of the Sanders family.
Maja had been in a stupor for the past few days, sustained only by intravenous nutrition, and she felt
weak.
On the other end of the line, the princess of the Sanders family continued speaking.
"Don't call here again."
This time, her voice was colder, even deliberately subdued.
"Otherwise, I'll make your life a living hell."
After Judith hung up, she quickly deleted the call log from the phone, then exited the private room and
stepped outside.
Ian was already propped up in the car, resting.
The car's interior was dimly lit. Ian's Adam's apple bobbed as he stared out at the road ahead. Half of
his face was obscured by darkness; his unclear expression seemed somewhat sharp, but no one knew
what he was thinking at this moment.
Judith passed his phone to him through the car window, her eyes sparkling.novelbin
"Ian, you left your phone in the room. I brought it out to you."
Ian ignored her, which didn't discourage Judith. She just leaned a little closer to the car window.
"I'll leave it here for you. Get a good night's sleep, bye."
She waved cheerfully, reminding Jeff to drive carefully before standing in place, watching the car
disappear into the distance with a reluctant gaze.
Once the car was out of sight, the smile on her face slowly faded.
She returned to her own car, where Beck was sitting.
Beck was staring out the window, his eyebrows furrowed in thought.
"You shouldn't have come here tonight."
"Beck, it's precisely because I came that the whole circle is filled with rumors about me and Ian. Who
still remembers Maja? My background and my love for Ian all overshadow her. If she ever has anything
with Ian, everyone will just see her as Cinderella, thinking Ian has poor taste."
She lowered her lashes, her eyes revealing an indistinguishable emotion.
"And I won't give them any chance to rekindle."
Beck didn't say anything. He didn't understand his sister that well, and he just knew she was spoiled,
always believing that everything good in the world should belong to her and that others could only pick
up her leftovers.
"Beck, you can't help her."
Judith clung to his arm, acting coquettishly.
Beck pulled his arm away.
"Don't go too far. This is Greenfield, not North America."
She stuck out her tongue, "What's the difference? These people still have to flatter me. Everyone wants
to expand their business into North America. If I say yes, Mom and my big brother will definitely agree."
This was her confidence.
Beck didn't say anything else. He just sighed.
At two in the morning, Maja was finally feeling a little better. She got in her car and decided to drive
back to Greenfield overnight.
She even bought several cups of coffee in case she got sleepy on the road.
By the time it was nine o'clock the next day, her car was parked a hundred meters away from
Greenfield Gardens.
After drinking several cups of coffee and not having had breakfast, her stomach was churning.
But she endured it and called Ian.
His hoarse voice came through the phone.
"What was that?"
Maja wanted to ask about her current situation. She rushed here without any information, but hearing
his distant tone, she felt as if her speech was frozen.
"If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up."
Ian said he was hanging up, but he kept the phone to his ear, curious about what she would say.
Maja wanted to seize this opportunity to ask about his situation.
But as soon as she opened her mouth, she felt a piercing pain in her stomach, as if she was being
stabbed with countless needles. She couldn't even speak because of the pain.
Ian waited a full minute before he sneered coldly and hung up.
Maja clutched her stomach, feeling both pain and nausea.
Left with no other choice, she shakily dialed Zoey's number, asking her to come and drive her car away.
Zoey arrived quickly and even brought some stomach medicine.
"Mr. Pennyfeather, aren't you going in?"
Greenfield Gardens was just a hundred meters ahead. What was she hesitating for, being so close?
