Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 834

Maja stayed silent, finally understanding why Elvis was so against marriage after hearing his deep-seated reflections. It was tainted with betrayal.

"Elvis, Wilma is an actress now. There might be some scandals with other men in the future, you cool with that?"

"That's something every artist has to go through," Elvis replied indifferently. "If she can't handle that, she'd better get out of this industry sooner."

Wilma, who had just returned, heard these words. She froze, her hand touching the doorknob. To avoid being noticed, she quickly hid in the corner, waiting for her emotions to settle before pushing the door open with a smile.

"Elvis, Mr. Pennyfeather, are you done chatting? I forgot something." She pointed to her phone, picked it up quickly, and waved. "I'm going back to filming now, so I'll leave this matter to you. I won't retaliate no matter how the second female lead treats me this time."

Before the two men in the room could react, she quickly left. Both were unaware that Wilma had overheard their conversation.

Wilma forgot her phone because she was nervous after kissing Elvis and realized she left it behind after lingering in the lobby. Elvis was right, having scandals was part of the job, and he wasn't her boyfriend, so she didn't mind at all. Her heart was still racing from that kiss.

Unrequited love can really mess with one's judgment. But it wasn't one-sided anymore between them. She had confessed to him before, but he brushed it off as drunken rambling.

Wilma took a deep breath, wiped her eyes, and immediately put on a smile. It wasn't the end of the world. As long as she persevered, she would win him over one day.

Back in the hospital room, Maja broke the silence. "This situation is complicated. Alma is out for revenge, and you and Wilma are collateral damage. I'll handle it as quickly as possible. You need to stay in the hospital and lay low for now."

Otherwise, the hand he managed to save this time might be the one that got him in trouble next time.

"Mr. Pennyfeather, are you sure you can handle it?"

Maja was standing now, her eyes sharp. "Even if I can't, I'll find a way."

Back at Rosewood Manor, the bodyguard gave her the address of the girl whose spot had been stolen by Alma.

"Ms. Pennyfeather, this is the address," he explained. "She's been trying to report Alma online for years, but the Casson family's influence is too strong. She's been living on disability benefits since her hand was broken. Her parents can only survive by doing low-level labor jobs, as they can't find work elsewhere. She also has an adopted brother who seems to be a member of the Casson family and who's been taking care of her."

Maja frowned. "Adopted brother? What do you mean?"
