Chapter 453
Maja took lan’s shirt and went to the shower. Coming out with wet hair, she dried it with a hair dryer and ran her fingers through it before daring to sit on
the bed
She glanced at the time; it was already ten in the evening, and the night had completely set in.
The dust in the wind was still relentlessly hitting the window. Apart from this, the room seemed quite cozy.
There was no air conditioning here, but perhaps due to the strong wind, there was a hint of chill in the air.
She sneezed, and the next second, lan was holding her, his chest pressed tightly against her back. “Cold?”
There were no blankets here, but the bed was soft enough.
“A bit.”
His chin was resting on top of her head, holding her entirely in his arms.
Maja could hear her heartbeat accelerating; it was a scary feeling.
But his hug made her feel a lot warmer. Even though it wasn’t cold in the summer, the sudden change in weather hadn’t given her body time to adjust. Neither of them spoke

She immediately sat up, her voice soft.
“Professor.”
“Maja, the Solstice College database was broken into tonight. It even made the news. The thief got away and was very skilled. After going through the files with some colleagues, we found out that your files had been tampered with. It’s likely that the thief was targeting you. Have you upset anyone?” But even if she had upset someone, it’s unlikely they’d go after her college records.
“Anyway, be careful. I’m just giving you a heads–up because I’m not sure what else was taken. The university has been asked to keep this under wraps, but I noticed that your file had been tampered with.”
“Professor, I understand.”
Maja hung up the phone, feeling a bit frustrated.
Her college files were nothing special. She attended classes diligently and painted. In college, she was pressured by Dalia and Daniel to the point of almost not graduating. Later, she chose online courses. After graduation, she started working at a studio. Apart from that episode, she led an ordinary life.
If there was anything special, it was that she was always looking for that person.
Because he had once said that he was a student at Solstice College.

So from the first day of university, she began to look for him.
But she never found him.
After searching for half a year, she realized that maybe she had been fooled.
She never told anyone about this, not even Carol Miller.
Because sticking to a promise to get into university seemed rather silly.
Especially when she found out that even his name was fake, she felt like she had been played.
She had always played by the rules her whole life and had indeed secretly blamed him.
But for a thief who could get into a university and even alert higher–ups, what kind of identity did he have?
She was a bit uneasy, feeling like her peaceful life was about to be disrupted.
When she lay back on the bed, she didn’t look so good.
Her mood affected lan, and he asked, “What’s wrong?”
Maja couldn’t help but think, Why would her files be tampered with if the thief had another identity? Why would her ordinary files be touched?
What she didn’t realize was that at this very moment, at the Pennyfeather family’s residence in Greenfield, someone had quietly broken in.
Every room had been searched, but it didn’t attract the attention of the guards outside.
Only the nanny who came down to get a drink of water at midnight saw a shadow and immediately screamed out.

Then several mysterious figures disappeared, and the whole mansion lit up!
Neil was also awakened, but he had been bedridden since returning to the mansion.
At this moment, he coughed a few times and asked the guards to check if anything was missing.
After a thorough check, nothing was missing, indicating that the thief wasn’t after money.
Neil couldn’t sleep, so he asked the guards to contact Maja and tell her what had happened here.
His hands were shaking so badly that it was hard for her to type.
And he didn’t know what to say if he called her.
When Maja received the message from the guards, she was having trouble sleeping
The Pennyfeather family was also targeted by the thief?
Now she was certain that the person behind this was definitely targeting her!
