Chapter 1080

Ryan gave him a dubious look. “Cousin, some folks are saying Maja was planted by your side on purpose. I don’t

believe it.”

lan didn’t respond, and his silence was deafening.

That night, he couldn’t sleep a wink.

The very next morning, the doctor came with news. “Holden wants to speak with you”

At this point, Grandpa Holden had been moved to the ICU.

lan and Ryan donned protective gear before entering the room. Holden, straining to keep his eyes open, gestured

for lan to come closer.

lan moved in closer, the scent of disinfectant in the air. He listened as Holden spoke, each word a stubborn

utterance.

“lan, don’t be with Maja.”

That sentence was essentially a death sentence for Maja.

Until now, lan thought what he saw the night before was a misunderstanding. He believed that Maja wouldn’t harm

his grandfather, regardless of

the reason.

But now, with Grandpa’s words, it was clear that she indeed wielded that dagger.

“Grandpa, what’s really happening?”

Holden let go of lan’s hand, staring blankly at the ceiling with a bitter smile.

“Don’t be with Maja.”

lan didn’t feel pain, just a firm grip on his grandfather’s hand.

“lan, swear to me.”

As Holden said this, his whole body began to tremble, his hand shaking in lan’s grip.

He wanted lan to swear not to be with Maja, but lan couldn’t say it.

All lan could do was hold his grandfather’s hand tightly, his eyes calm.

Holden started coughing, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.

He lost a lot of weight, over 20 pounds. After forcing out those words, he closed his eyes. Visiting hours were only

ten minutes.

A nurse came to remind them as soon as the time was up.

lan and Ryan left the room, handing over their protective gear.

“Cousin.”

Ryan looked at him worriedly Until now, no one knew what was really going on.

But Holden’s words had definitely pointed the finger at Maja.

Holden had adored Maja before, but everything changed overnight.

ian leaned against the wall, step by step, making his way back to his own room, his head throbbing with pain.

The doctor returned for a check–up and said the medication hadn’t worn off

No wonder he was in pain.

An hour later, Fitch and Tyler arrived.

Fitch took a seat

“We looked into those guys, but they disappeared without a trace All of them were illegal immigrants, no

fingerprints or identification records. ” These people were the hardest to trace, especially since they always

avoided security cameras.

lan didn’t respond, just stared out the window, his brows furrowed

“lan, what did Grandpa Holden say?”

lan’s hand tightened at his side, his voice hoarse

“He told me not to be with Maja”

“It’s strange. Wasn’t he the one who adored Maja the most before? Or did he discover some truth during his

disappearance, like Maja having ties with these people, trying to dig out secrets from the Raymond family? After

gaining Holden’s trust, she extracted those secrets and planned to silence him. And if you hadn’t been bitten by

that snake last night, those guys would have had difficulty escaping. And the snake was given to you by Maja.”

Every detail pointed towards Maja.

But lan didn’t believe it.

Fitch gave his shoulder a reassuring pat. “Steve took leave, should be here soon. Probably heard about the

Raymond family’s situation and about Grandpa Holden. The Raymond family might have to be ready for the worst.”

If Grandpa Holden passed away, there would be no real proof against Maja.

lan rubbed his temples and called his people, instructing them to track Maja’s whereabouts.
