Seeing that Maja had no intention of interceding. Daly instantly became anxious
“Even if Oli did it on purpose, can’t we negotiate on this? You know what our family owes to Oh If she
insists on divorce, your cousin might never find a wife again. He took his clients‘ money and borrowed
from loan sharks, it’s an open secret in Crystalbrook Valley Who would dare let their daughter marry
into our family? Only Oli would accept him. But if something happens to Oli, what will we do?”
Maja felt exhausted and closed her eyes, knowing that their lives had been hard since all the money
they earned had been spent by their son.
She massaged her temples. “Have you ever thought that even if I pleaded with Mr. Raymond, he still
wouldn’t let it slide. He’s very firm on this issue, either pay the compensation, or Olivia goes to jail”
“Maja, can’t you ask your boss, if if he’s willing to reduce the compensation for your sake?”
Maja felt a surge of anger, her tone turning cold.
“Ive asked him already, he said it himself. I have to drive, hanging up now.“–

This was the first time she had such a heated argument with Daly.

Only when she hung up the phone did he ask, “Is that woman a relative of yours?”
For some reason, Maja felt a wave of embarrassment, “Yeah, she’s my cousin’s wife.”
lan’s gaze deepened, “Did she say your cousin ran away?”
“Yes, he borrowed from loan sharks before.”
“So, she hasn’t divorced your cousin?”
He meant that even though they hadn’t divorced, Olivia was still pursuing other men. Didn’t her family
care?
Maja felt even more embarrassed, “Mr. Raymond, I’m sorry about her.”
She even found it difficult to speak.
lan shifted his gaze away, saying lightly, “Do you want to pay for her?”
don’t have that much money.”
“Then don’t meddle.”
Maja really didn’t have that much money.
Both of them fell silent, and then she received a text message from Daly.
“Maja, I’m sorry; I didn’t mean to put you on the spot. We’ll handle this ourselves; just go back to work.”
She didn’t feel relieved at all when she saw the message; instead, she felt even more irritated.
Because she felt an oppressive and aggrieved atmosphere like what a father would feel when taking
care of troublesome children.
She leaned back on the chair, feeling utterly drained.
lan had documents on his knee. He flipped through a few pages and was about to sign when he felt
someone’s head resting on his shoulder. He stiffened and couldn’t help but turn to look at her.
She had probably been in a bad mood for the past few days, looking somewhat helpless; her nose
even carried a hint of grievance.

expression.
Maja had a dream in which she saw lan.
In the dream, lan was holding her chin, forcing her to call him husband.
She could even feel her exhaustion in the dream; without the strength to resist, she had to call out,
“husband“.
lan was reading the documents at the time, and when he heard her say that, he almost tore the
documents with the force of his hand.
He glanced at her, but she was sleeping soundly; what she just said was probably sleep talk.
Why would Maja dream about her husband when they were not on good terms?
lan shifted his gaze away, his heart undisturbed; after all, it had nothing to do with him.
When she woke up, it was already evening. Seeing the familiar route, her heartbeat involuntarily
quickened.
Wasnt this the way to Rosewood Manor?
Was lan planning to go to Rosewood Manor tonight?
