Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 1252

Tyler's disdain for her was even more pronounced now, his irritation peaking merely at the sight of her face.

Fitch was a tad more lenient, striding over to deliver a blow to the back of Ian's neck.

Ian's hand was clenching Maja's, refusing to let go.

Fitch forcibly pried them apart, giving Maja a deep look before helping Ian to his feet and escorting him out.

Tyler, before closing the door, even left a parting curse.

"You two, a pair of unfaithful lovers, will get your comeuppance!"

It was clear he was fuming.

Maja stayed curled up in Patric's arms, only beginning to tremble once the conference room fell silent.

Patric held his tongue, even feeling a momentary urge to applaud.

What a grand love story, but where did that leave him?

A prop in their dramatic confession of love?

He scoffed.

"Maja, are you blind? Didn't you see his face? How pathetic! The golden boy Ian, reduced to begging. You're truly a menace. You've turned Eric into a shadow of his former self and made Ian willing to give up everything for you. I wonder how many bottles of whiskey he'll down tonight to numb his pain. But it's a pity you can't see it. Is your blindness your own karma?"

Maja stayed silent. She thought she would burst into tears, would become hysterical.

But beneath the crushing despair, she only found calm.

However, there was a gaping hole in her chest, silently bleeding.

Her head was throbbing, threatening to knock her out.

She was unaware that this was a side effect of the medication she had been given.

It made her emotionally unstable, increased her self-doubt.

Her thirst for power grew stronger.

Only those who desired power could be controlled.

Patric had wanted to further provoke her. After all, the transfer of ownership had not been successful, and he was frustrated.
