Judith was at her wit’s end, ready to try anything, even at the cost of her life. “Who are you, and how do
you plan to help me?” The man rose and approached the bedside. “Dylan can’t bring himself to be
completely ruthless with you. Just make yourself look more pitiful, and then pin everything on Maja. As
long as they haven’t discovered Maja’s true identity, there’s still a chance. Your mother, or rather, your
big brother, will go after Maja. If you wait until Maja’s real identity comes to light, you, the faux daughter,
will be completely out of the game.” Judith’s pupils contracted sharply. Who was this man, and how did
he know about Maja’s true identity? Her fists clenched tight. Could he be the one who had been texting
her? The man leaned closer, twirling a lock of her hair around his finger. “You despise Maja, don’t you?
Just create a big enough scene, and Dylan will naturally come running back.” A venomous glint flashed
in Judith’s eyes, “As long as you’re willing to help me! I’ll pay any price!” The man’s smile widened,

The man’s face was a picture of satisfaction as he continued to weave his web, “You know, Augus’s
feelings for you are quite complex too. He’s been searching for his biological daughter for years, but he
couldn’t bear to kick you out. The Sanders family are known for their loyalty. If it hadn’t been for that
last stunt you pulled, he wouldn’t have been so harsh on you. After all, you were just a child when your
identity was switched. If you want to meet him before you ‘die’ and trick him into drinking poisoned
wine, he’ll join you in burial.” Judith’s eyes gleamed with malice. She loathed Maja and the Sanders the
most! “It wasn’t me who planned it all, but it doesn’t matter now. It doesn’t matter who designed it,
Augus just doesn’t care about me; he only has eyes for his real daughter!” If only Augus had continued
to love her and not sought his real daughter, how good that would have been! Why stir up so much
trouble and not continue to dote on her? He deserved to die! And as for Maja, she was the woman

dignity, my life, anything! I want them to know I’m not trash that can be tossed aside so easily! I want
them to regret throwing me away!” A person accustomed to the good life, suddenly hit by the truth, can
become irrationally extreme. That was exactly what the man wanted to exploit. Judith was reckless
enough, and foolish enough. And he could cause a world of trouble for Maja without lifting a finger.
Maja finished dressing Ian’s wound and noticed him staring at her. She couldn’t help but furrow.
“What’s wrong? Does it hurt still?” Ian shook his head, wrapping his arms around her waist. “It just feels
like I’m living a dream.” Waking up to see her every day, having her company for every meal, reading
together – she had become incredibly tender, a tenderness that made his heart flutter. Maja lowered
her lashes, seriously inspecting the gunshot wound. Although not life-threatening, the scar would be

catch the emotion in his voice and simply rewrapped the bandage. “The wound is healing, but you still
can’t make any big movements. Give it another week; then we’ll set off.” Ian’s face fell. This time with
her, the sweetest moments had been her tender touches, but it was never enough. Maja pinned his
wandering hands down, her gaze cool. “Just a few more days, wait at least until the wound has
healed.” “Then can I have a kiss?” Maja didn’t refuse, but Ian wasn’t one to sit still. As their lips met, his
hands began to roam. By the time Maja realized, he was almost at the point of no return. “Ian, mmph.”
Caught off guard by his bold move, Maja tensed up, almost wishing she could slap him away. But he
had been healing, and there was a vulnerability about him that she didn’t have the heart to rebuff. Ian,
sensing her reluctance, pushed the boundaries further. Maja grasped his hands, resting her forehead
against his chest. “Lie down; don’t move.” Ian shuddered with excitement, nearly losing control. “Maja?”
Was she thinking of doing that like he was? He quickly adjusted their position while clutching her. The
thought of her taking the lead was almost too much for Maja to bear.
