Chapter 1409

“Maja, you’re coming with me to see Judith. You owe her a personal apology, and then, if you’re lucky, I

might let you off easy.” Maja nearly laughed, but the grip on her throat tightened instantly. “Judith’s

been assaulted, and you find this funny? You really are heartless,” he spat. She met his gaze with icy
