Chapter 1049

Chapter 1049

With the arrival of lan, the atmosphere at the scene became less suffocating for Maja.

She wasn’t a saint. When she found out she was not Lillian’s biological daughter, it was almost unbearable.

After countless nights of breaking down, she had to repeatedly chew on the kindness Lillian had shown her in order

to survive.

So she didn’t want to find her biological parents. She was also afraid that she was really abandoned.

The word “family” can be more painful than a knife stabbed by an enemy.

Deep down, Maja had a sense of self–loathing. When she found out her parents were such despicable people, she

hated the blood that ran through her veins.

Now that lan had appeared, it was like a surge of strength poured into her heart.

She chuckled, “What do I owe you? You asked for a million dollars, right? Fine, f’ll give you a million dollars to sever

this blood relationship completely. Don’t come looking for me again.”

Before attending the party tonight, Clara and Drew thought a million was the most significant number in the world.

However, after being enlightened by the men about the cost of the villa and their identities, they became greedy.

“Give us 100 million! A million is not enough!”

Everyone was watching the show, but when they heard Drew’s words, someone let out a chuckle.

They’ve never cared for Maja for a day, but now they demand 100 million at first sight?

At first, everyone thought Maja was really ignoring her biological parents, but it turned out they were a pair of

vampires.

The laughter made Drew lose his confidence, but in the end, greed won.

“100 million, and we’ll never bother you again. Also, you have to get your brother out.”

Maja found it amusing, her face completely cold.

“No, you can sue. I’ll pay whatever the court orders.”

Although the court would rule against her, the amount they would award would certainly not exceed $50,000. She

was willing to give this couple a million just to get them out of her hair, but they demanded 100 million.

Maja regretfully couldn’t oblige.

She was about to leave when Drew tried to grab her, but he tripped and fell, nearly knocking his teeth out.

lan looked up and motioned to the bodyguard nearby.

“Throw them out.”

The Haskins family’s bodyguard stiffened and instinctively looked at Mia.

They should’ve acted when the couple was causing a scene, but everyone knew about Mia’s grudge against Maja. If

Mia hadn’t told them to act, they wouldn’t have dared to take matters into their own hands. They wanted Mia to

humiliate Maja first, and then they would throw the family out.

But now lan was here.

Mia didn’t dare to provoke lan and nodded reluctantly.

The bodyguards quickly stepped forward and grabbed Clara and Drew.

Clara started cursing, “You wretch! I should’ve never given birth to you! Do you think you’re above everyone now?

You’re still a country bumpkin, a mutt!”

Drew quickly joined in, “If it wasn’t for your mother sleeping around and getting pregnant with you, why do you

think I sold you off? You owe me for emotional distress!”

The information was a bombshell. Maja was the product of Clara’s affair, hence why she was sold.

This lowly origin, unveiled in such a high–class setting, was incredibly embarrassing.

Even if some people felt sorry for Maja, they couldn’t help but look at her differently after hearing this.

Under all these strange gazes, Maja’s aura was like a clear spring, pure and profound.

lan was different from everyone else. He seemed to see the chaos beneath her pretend calmness.

Tonight, Maja’s tiny fantasy about a family shattered.

At this moment, she felt like she was abandoned in the wilderness, her cries unheard.

She lowered her eyes, ready to leave.

But at this moment, lan strode over and pulled her into his arms.

She stiffened, and the next moment, she felt her face being lifted and her lips being kissed.

Her pupils slightly contracted, and when she reacted, she was about to push him away.

But lan held her even tighter.

Maja was furious. What kind of place was this?

Had he gone mad?

Luckily, lan wasn’t completely crazy. After about five seconds, he let go of her and pulled her into his arms.

Just then, Fitch walked over. Seeing everyone standing in shock, he asked curiously, “What happened?”

lan picked up the conversation, “She was late. Let me introduce her to you, Maja, my girlfriend.”
