Chapter 1178
Maja had been sitting in the coffee shop, browsing through the documents she had received, ever since Antonia
left.
According to the documents, Antonia’s daughter was autistic, not suffering from congenital kidney failure as
Antonia had claimed. However, Antonia did indeed have late–stage breast cancer.
Clearly, Antonia had utilized her autistic daughter as a pawn, hoping to win back her unfaithful husband, knowing
that her own days were numbered.
Maja’s fingers were slightly tapping on the table. After a while, she sent a message to Antonial
I can make him love you again]
Negotiation was all about appealing to the other person’s desires.
She was certain that the people behind Antonia hadn’t made such a promise. They’d only offered her money.
But now, Maja was offering something far more enticing.
As expected, Antonia responded quickly
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, Antonia was still cautious, replying with a question mark.
She had initially asked Maja to ruin her husband and his mistress, and now Maja was offering something entirely
different. Had Maja realized that she still held feelings for her husband?
Maja then sent a follow–up message.
Isn’t it a bit nice to them just making them utterly discredited? To make him fall in love with you again, only to lose
you to death, that would be the greatest torment for him. You’d have your revenge, and he would spend the rest of
his life in regret.]
Antonia was shaking, her eyes red with emotion. This was what she truly wanted to do, but she knew her husband
no longer loved her. Daisy, his mistress, had already borne him a son and was now shamelessly pregnant with their
second child!
How could Maja possibly make this happen? She must be lying!
But Antonia was desperate to win back that man. Even knowing the chances were slim, she took the bait and
replied
“How do you plan to do it?”
Maja didn’t respond immediately, intending to keep Antonia in suspense
She put away her phone and drove off, not heading back to her office right away but making a visit to Cornelia and
Wilma.
By the time she returned to her office, it was already nine in the evening. She assumed that lan would have gone
home by now.
She had been busy all day, checking in with several production teams to ensure that current projects were running
smoothly. Now back at the office, she planned to continue dealing with Antonias matter.
As she opened the door to her office, she noticed the lights were off She turned them on and was about to sit down
when Zoey entered, handing her
some document.
“Ms. Pennyfeather, this is the file you’ll need for tomorrow. Also, Shawn dropped by this afternoon but left.”
“Did I tell him to stay at home?”
“He’s probably worried. After all, we’ve all been working overtime because of his situation.”
Maja rubbed between her eyebrows, feeling sorry for the innocent Shawn.

“He didn’t leave?”
“I didn’t see him go out.”
After Zoey left, Maja walked over to the adjoining rest area where lan was curled up on the couch.
He hadn’t slept on the small bed, but on the two–seater sofa. At six feet tall, he had to curl up to fit
He must have been exhausted, not even waking up at the sound of them talking
Maja didn’t turn on the light She approached him, using the light filtering in from the window
His sleeping posture was peaceful, probably from waiting for a long time, perhaps even skipping dinner
Maja didn’t want to disturb him, but she was worried about him skipping a meal and triggering his stomach issues,
so she gently nudged his shoulder
To others, lan was a formidable figure in the business world, someone to be feared and alienated
Now that Eric was back, everyone was hoping for him to regain his former position
Eric was known to give people a chance, unlike lan who would never let his opponents off the hook
Maja gently stroked his hair, watching as he opened his eyes
He didn’t say anything, so Maja leaned in and planted a soft kiss on his lips.
