Chapter 1061
A group of people was lounging on a few sofas in the garden, under the shade of beautiful canopies, surrounded by
a picturesque landscape of mountains and clear rivers.
They were having an enjoyable conversation until Ryan chimed in, “lan, you’re here.”
Ryan had been mostly silent, keeping an eye on Judith as she chatted amiably with the well–heeled ladies,
seemingly to show off her popularity. Judith, with her high status and innocent appearance, was indeed easy to like.
Ryan’s words drew everyone’s attention to a figure not too far away. There was at least a couple dozen people
present there, with an equal number of men and women.
They saw lan leaning down, asking Maja something, his hands cradling her face.
He was asking to check if she wanted to stick around that place, “If you’re feeling uncomfortable, we can leave.”
Tyler was such a deadbeat, incapable of handling even the smallest tasks.
Maja shook her head. If she left at that moment, people would say that she was deliberately avoiding Judith, which
would only make things more uncomfortable for her later.
Moreover, hadn’t those people been criticizing her origins recently? Most probably assumed that she would spend

at the hotel.
“Maja, let’s go.”
lan had planned that outing to cheer her up. Seeing her unhappy, he grabbed her wrist, intending to lead her away
from that place
Maja shook her head, instead letting Rocky down from her lap.
Rocky shook out his fur and nuzzled against her knee affectionately.
The crowd was instantly captivated by Rocky, with several of the women standing up, their eyes full of admiration
for the dog.
“What breed is that dog? It looks so majestic.”
Upon seeing Rocky. Judith’s face stiffened. She touched her chest, feeling a sharp pain.
Thankfully, she had taken medication earlier, and her brother would be joining them later.
She stood up, smiling as she approached lan.
“lan.”
That time, she deliberately didn’t add the word “darling“, fearing that lan might just go a bit too far and embarrass
her in front of everyone.
Her brothers had already lectured her, and her eldest brother had especially warned her not to rush things with lan.
She had to suppress her usual arrogant attitude and avoid acting recklessly like before
Judith’s hand curled up slightly at her side. She had prepared a certain drug for that night.
There would be many people at the villa those few days. If anything happened between her and lan in front of all
those people, the Raymond family would have a harder time disowning her
The corners of her mouth curved slightly as she turned to Maja.
“Ms Pennyfeather, it’s nice to meet you.”
Maja looked at the hand extended before her, remembering that woman’s previous mockery. She didn’t expect the
princess of the Sanders family to be so patient that day
She lightly placed her hand on top of Judith’s, giving a slight nod as a form of greeting.
Meanwhile, the people not far away were watching their exchange intently

When Rocky was with her, she had to rack her brains just to pet him Yet, he was so gentle with Maja What did that
woman have that she didn’t?
Ryan, who was sitting not too far away, rolled his eyes at Judith’s pretentious demeanor and raised his voice to
invite Maja.
“Penny, want to join me for a walk with the dogs?”
Maja nodded and was about to lead Rocky away by his leash when Judith asked in front of everyone.
“Ms. Pennyfeather, have you managed to settle your family matters? I was at the party last time, your parenta
didn’t seem to be in a good state It’s really fortunate that you’re unaffected”
Her smile was open and seemingly genuine as if she was truly concerned about Milaja and her family
The crowd had been looking forward to the outing, but Judith’s words brought an uncomfortable silence.
It was clear that she was deliberately making Maja uncomfortable.
Judith seemed to realize that and quickly covered her mouth, her face showing signs of panic.
“I’m sorry, you probably don’t want people to bring up that matter. I shouldn’t have said that,”
She had said everything that needed to be said in front of others, putting herself in a no–lose situation.
