Chapter 361

If it weren’t for Maja’s quick response, her hair could’ve been caught in the closing car window.

She watched the car drive away, finding the whole ordeal hilarious.

She immediately texted Ryan.

[Ryan, I bumped into lan. He told me not to get too big for my boots. Try reaching out to Carlene. She’s

currently his shotgun.]

Ryan did indeed give Carlene a call. She picked up the phone with a smile and said she’d ask.

After hanging up, she turned to lan.

“Ryan just called me. Seems like he’s really worried about his girlfriend. Maybe he’s serious this time.

Ian, don’t you think we should let her come back?”

lan didn’t answer, just staring ahead in silence.

When his eyes didn’t smile, they seemed incredibly deep.

After a while, he grinned.

“All this fuss for a receptionist’s position?”

Carlene let out a sigh of relief, with her face instantly lighting up–

“Exactly, it’s just a receptionist’s job. No need to go head–to–head with Mr. Elston. He is your cousin,

after–all”

lan relaxed again, tapping his fingers on the steering wheel.

He had really nice fingers.

“All right, let her come back.”

Carlene’s eyes sparkled. Seeing his attitude towards Maja and towards her, she felt more at ease.

She immediately texted Ryan.

Ryan saw her message and sent Maja a text.

[Sorry, Penny, I accidentally got you in trouble with lan. Carlene’s really something. It took less than two

minutes for lan to agree.]

Maja laughed helplessly. Turns out she got scolded for no reason.

Although she didn’t think the scolding was that serious.

It was definitely more chill than dealing with Neil.

In the hospital, Neil still rubbed his temples while Cristina and Tricia fussed over him.

Neil was getting frustrated. Thinking about Maja’s look earlier, he felt uneasy.

“Can you guys leave me alone for a while?”

Cristina and Tricia exchanged glances.

Tricia knew her chance had come.

She motioned for Cristina to leave with her.

They went to Glenn’s room.

Tricia immediately said.

This is our best shot. Neil’s defenseless now, and his bodyguards are gone. Just need to inject him with

this poison, and he’s a goner! Then the Pennyfeather family will be all ours!”

Tricia was eager to proceed.

Cristina, however, was in turmoil.

“Why are you so selfish? Can’t you see Glenn’s still in bed? Don’t you care about his life at all?

Besides, Carter’s missing. I’m a mess right now. How can I even think about hurting Neil?”

Cristina’s words instantly enraged Tricia, who had been going through a rough patch.

“Glenn brought this on himself. He wanted to rape Maja and fall into her trap. Who else is there to

blame? If he hadn’t wanted to rape Maja, would this have happened? You knew about his intentions,

yet you didn’t stop him! You were even having an affair with Carter. I bet he’s run off and left you to face

the music!”

Cristina was so angry that she slapped Tricia across the face.

A small recorder on the table was recording their argument.

It was left there by Maja before she left the hospital..

She believed that these two selfish women would definitely have a fight when dealing with Glenn’s

situation.

Just then, the door to the room was knocked, and a nurse came in to do a medical history investigation.

After finishing, she noticed a pen left behind. Thinking it was left by the previous nurse, she picked it

up.
