Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 761

"Connie said that the kidnappers had their eyes on her and Maja. But Maja left her all alone, hiding somewhere herself. That's why she got violated. It's messed her up big time. Even though you always favored Maja, Maja is still an outsider after all. If she doesn't come clean, I'm guessing Connie will just keep crying her eyes out."

"I'll go check on her."

Holden had been planning to lay low for a while, but with all the stuff that's been happening lately, he couldn't just sit idly by.

He immediately went with Maureen to where Connie was staying.

Sure enough, as soon as they pushed open the front door, they heard Connie's sobs.

Connie kept repeating, "It's all Maja's fault. If it wasn't for Maja, I wouldn't have had to go through all this. Maja must have done it on purpose. It's her way of getting back at me because my cousin has been giving her the cold shoulder for the past three years. I don't want to live anymore; I really don't."

During her hospital stay, Connie thought that blaming Maja would make her feel better.

But the truth was, every time she closed her eyes, the face of that disgusting guy appeared in her mind, making her feel sick.

So she realized that only by getting rid of Maja completely would she feel relieved.

It seemed absurd, but that's honestly how she felt.

She hated Maja. She can't let Maja be with her cousin.

Only when those two broke up will she start to feel better.

Seeing Holden come in, Connie started crying even harder.

"Grandpa."

Holden was getting a headache from all the crying, but thinking about what his granddaughter had gone through, he could only sigh.

"Your aunt said this has something to do with Maja. Was Maja in the building at the time?"

Connie nodded, her eyes so swollen she could barely see.

"Grandpa, I'm really miserable; I can't sleep at all. I just want an apology from Maja. I know you like her, but if you don't agree, I'll just go beg on the streets. I'm tainted now; no one would want me anymore."

"What nonsense!"

He banged his cane on the floor, so angry that his chest was trembling.

"What century are you living in? How could you think you're tainted? Is this what you learned at Solstice College?"

"What should I do? I know it all makes sense, but I'm only nineteen."

Holden sighed and patted her on the head.

"Tell me exactly what Maja did to you that day."

So Connie repeated the story she had made up that Maja had abandoned her.

The old man didn't know the truth; it seemed he had to get the other party involved to find out.

He rubbed his temples hearing Connie's question.
