Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel 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 detachment, her lips twitching into a half-smirk.

"Mr. Sanders, I pity your sister. It's a blessing she never made it back to the Sanders clan. If she had to witness your cruel farce, it would've turned her stomach."

Dylan's hand trembled, a sting in his chest at her words.

But he reassured himself—it was all Maja's silver tongue, her lack of remorse for Judith that was to blame.

"We'll see if you're still this sharp-tongued later."

He released her and sat down in silence, done with the exchange.

Maja couldn't be bothered to engage further; every word with him was more draining than the last.

The car soon stopped at Judith's residence. Bodyguards escorted Maja out, while Dylan strode ahead to check on his sister.

Judith was expecting them. She sat on the floor, knees hugged to her chest, eyes swollen, hair a disheveled mess—she looked deranged.

Dylan hastened to her side.

"Judith!"

She looked up, tears streaming anew.

"Dylan, I'm so scared. I close my eyes, and I see those men. Dad won't even see me. What should I do? I just want to go home, to be spoiled by our family like before..."

Judith trembled as Maja was led in—excitement, not fear.
