Chapter 1291

lan’s fingers gently massaged her hand as he held her close, softly patting her back

“Maja, why don’t you get some rest?”

Maja’s brow furrowed as the scent of the incense filled her nostrils once again, causing her imitation to boil over.

So much so that she didn’t even want to think about Jolin’s situation anymore

“Did you get this incense from Phelps? Did you ask for it?

“Yes, I saw that you were having trouble sleeping and thought he might have something that could help.”

“lan, could we have this incense checked by a professional? I feel uncomfortable smelling it

She didn’t dare mention that she had also smelled the incense at Mr. K’s place. She owed Phelps a favor, and if she

planted a seed of doubt in lan’s mind, their relationship would never be the same

She would become a villain in her own story

Holding her throbbing head, she barely managed to whisper, “I just want to know what’s in that incense”

lan thought she might be allergic to some ingredient, so he promptly had Jeff take the incense to a testing facility.

An hour later, the report came back. The incense was made of calming ingredient.

lan specially read the report to her

“Is there a particular ingredient you don’t like? I can ask Phelps to remove it

Relieved that the incense was harmless, Maja felt her heart finally settle

But she could tell something was off She was irritable and increasingly suspicious.

First she had wounded lan and now she had slapped him.

Even when Jolin was desperately explaining how much lan adored her. Maja couldn’t hide her growing resentment.

She wanted to lash out at lan, to mock his supposed affection

This was so unlike her usual self

Could love really make a person’s jealousy so ugly?

She reached up to touch his face

“Is your cheek swollen?”

“No, don’t worry

Jolin had been taken away, her belongings removed. She had cried, caused a scene, and even threatened to take

her own life But when she looked into lan’s cold eyes, she

was filled with fear

It finally dawned on her that if she hadn’t resembled Maja, she would never have been close to lan

But she wasn’t willing to admit defeat

She had been content with being a substitution, but never expected the real Maja to return.

As she left she glared in Maja’s direction, her eyes filled with jealousy

But Maja, who was now blind, was unaware of all this. She was suffering from a splitting headache.

For a moment, she felt lan’s voice was close, but for another, it was at distance.

‘lan, maybe you should find a therapist for me

Perhaps she really did have a mental problem. The sooner she saw a doctor the sooner she could recover

lan noticed her deep–seated resistance

Few people are willing to admit they have a mental problem

“Maja Ill stay with you If you can’t sleep, I can read you a poem or we can watch a movie. You can listen to the

voices

“Okay

Maja breathed a sigh of relief as she was helped back to the master bedroom by lan

Elsewhere, a man was quietly examining the objects on the coffee table, a smirk playing on his lips

The people standing behind him were silent, waiting for his orders

He flicked a bead with his finger, and it bounced twice on the table before falling into a net below

He chuckled softly

“No matter how much this pearl struggles it will end up in the net. So I don’t understand what’s the point of

struggling? Why not accept reality sooner?

“Mr K, we used a large dose before. Has there already been something wrong with her mental state?

After all, the man had increased the dosage of the medicine himself

In any case, this kind of damage was repairable it would only cause Maja a little more pain. It would be good for her

to suffer a bet

Did she think she was safe now that she was back with lan?

Actually that was the most dangerous place for her

After all, despair was far more painful than physical suffering

He flicked another bead with his finger dexterously, and it also landed in the small net below

He found it boring and scattered the beads in his hand.

But one bead fell from his palm, rolled down the corner of the sofa, and disappeared into the edge.

This bead was out of his control

His eyebrows raised slightly, a spark of interest in his eyes

“Mr. K. the side effects of that drug will gradually manifest over time it will affect her sense of smell, hearing, touch

She will be tormented until she goes mad it seems we can set off next month”

A hint of a smile appeared on the man’s lips

“Of course, before she completely loses her mind, I need to restore her to her original state

His words were light as it Maja was just a plaything in his hands

“Also Mr. K. Augus Sanders moves have become unpredictable lately I’m afraid he might know about the Holy

Daughter”

Mr K’s brows furrowed, then he relaxed.

“He shouldn’t know. The incident happened suddenly. Besides, the Holy Daughter herself is a genius hypnotist. She

wouldn’t let anyone know her whereabouts

The others fell silent, obviously trusting his judgment

Klooked out the window a smile playing at the corners of his mouth

The torment of Maja was just beginning
