Chapter 695

Maja shook her head and quietly settled back into the car.

As the car started, Maja asked, “Zoey, is your boyfriend’s name Murray?”

Zoey looked a bit startled, and she didn’t recall ever telling Maja about Murray.

“Yes.”

“You guys have been together for seven years?”

A sweet smile graced Zoey’s face.

“Yes, I took a leave last time to get engaged. We already bought a house without telling our parents. His family has

a house, and his mom wants me to live with them, but I don’t want to live with the elders, so Murray and I decided

to buy a new house. Even if it’s small, as long as we can live in it, we will be much freer. We each paid 600,000 for

the down payment on the house.”

This 600,000 was almost all the money Zoey and Murray had earned from their part–time jobs. Zoey even

borrowed money from her friends.

The house cost a million in total, and with a loan of 400,000 left, Zoey needed to pay the mortgage monthly.

While discussing these matters, Zoey’s eyes held a gentle smile.

The more Maja heard, the heavier her heart fell.

Zoey was only twenty–three this year, still very young, but she had already saved a lot of money to buy a house,

showing how hard she worked.

Not only that, but she even borrowed money from others, clearly showing how much she wanted to be with Murray.

Maja couldn’t help but rub her forehead.

“Ms. Pennyfeather, are you feeling okay?”

Maja wasn’t feeling well. If she didn’t apologize to Evelyn, Zoey and her boyfriend Murray might break up.

But, if Maja did apologize, Evelyn would definitely take the opportunity to make her life miserable. Coupled with Mia,

Maja might be defeated by the two of them together.

Zoey was focused on driving, completely unaware that Maja’s current thoughts involved her.

When they returned to Rosewood Manor, Maja received a call from Carl, but she really didn’t want to pick up, so

she pretended she didn’t see it. After she hung up, Powell called again.

Maja hung up the phone again.

Shortly after, an unfamiliar number called. Maja took a deep breath and answered,

“I’m Mia’s mother, Sharon.” The woman’s voice was cold, “Are you Penny?”

Being harassed by three people in a row, Maja was feeling annoyed. She hung up the phone, grabbed her coat, and

drove to the hotel where lan was currently staying.

But lan wasn’t there.

After waiting for an hour, the hotel manager informed her, “Mr. Raymond has checked out.”

Maja felt like she’d been punched. She numbly walked out of the hotel.

It was still snowing outside, and she was shivering with cold.

She walked for almost an hour, not knowing where she was.

Until a car pulled up in front of Maja. It was lan.

“Get in.”

lan had just been discharged from the hospital and saw her wandering outside without an umbrella, so he honked

his horn twice.

Maja looked at lan, a bit dazed.

After Maja got into the car, lan handed her a blanket.

“Dry your hair.”

The car drove all the way to Greenfield Gardens and stopped outside the courtyard.

Even though Maja was responsible for every detail of the house, this was her first visit to Greenfield Gardens after

the project was completed.

“Jeff told me that you designed this house at Greenfield Gardens. It’s impressive. I’ve canceled my hotel reservation

for tonight and will be living here from now on.”

lan had received a call from the hotel manager that Ms. Penny was looking for him.

They walked into the foyer, where lan took a pair of women’s shoes out of the cupboard and placed them in front

of Maja.

“Try them on.”

The indoor heating was already on, and the temperature was just right.

Maja saw lan squatting next to her and immediately took off her own shoes.

“I can do it myself.”

Maja was curious as to why lan had women’s shoes prepared, and they just happened to be her size.

As Maja entered, she could clearly feel that the security measures at Greenfield Gardens were much stricter than

at Rosewood Manor. Without lan’s permission, no one could enter Greenfield Gardens.

Maja put on the slippers and glanced at the black men’s slippers that lan had.

Hers was white.

They were clearly a pair of couple’s slippers.

When they reached the couch in the hall, lan sat down and asked, “What did you want to see me about?”

Maja couldn’t help but look around the hall.

Although lan had lost his memory, it seemed that he was very satisfied with this place. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have

moved in so quickly.

All the materials used here were top–notch. There was no odd smell at all.

Maja suddenly remembered why she was looking for lan tonight.

She was cornered by several powerful people and wanted to seek his help.

She was always in such an awkward situation.

Maja opened her mouth to speak, but considering her dignity, she remained quiet.

lan was about to light a cigarette, but seeing her there, he put it back.

“Are you interested in my offer now?”

Without waiting for Maja’s reply, lan pulled her closer and asked, “Or did someone bully you again, and you can’t

handle it alone? Learned your lesson this time and came to see me?”

“It’s Powell from Sunshine Realty and the Haskins family.”

lan, being a man of the upper–class social circles, was very aware of the status of these two families.

He couldn’t help but lift Maja’s chin and say, “You sure knew how to stir up trouble. Did you plan to offend all the

prestigious families in Greenfield?”

“They were the ones who started with me.”
