Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 220

"Maja, you're not seriously thinking that sleeping with him will make him fall for you, are you? Guys, never refuse an easy girl, but sooner or later, he'll ditch you."

Maja just stepped on the gas, smiling in response.

"Before he ditches me, you can only watch and turn green with envy."

Tricia was shaking all over, so angry she could faint.

She's crossed the line!

She's way out of line!

Maja glanced at her through the rear-view mirror, her face expressionless.

She couldn't stay in Greenfield any longer. Better head to Crystalbrook Valley now, sort out the cherry wood flooring issue as soon as possible, and take responsibility for Ian.

She bought a cup of coffee from a roadside store to relieve sleepiness during the drive.

After downing the whole cup of coffee and ensuring she was wide awake, she hit the road to Crystalbrook Valley with her laptop.

Meanwhile, Ian also went to Crystalbrook Valley.

Holden was pulling all the stops to set him up with Maja. Ian figured he might as well go to Crystalbrook Valley early and leave the Raymond Corporation in someone else's hands for a while. That way, Holden couldn't find him, and he could have some peace.

Ian massaged his forehead, the wound in his back still hurting.

Jeff was driving, the car silent.

Jeff glanced at him through the rear-view mirror, thought for a moment, and then said,

"Ms. Shepard called you last night, but you didn't answer. She called me this morning, saying she's sorting out her return trip and will be a bit later than planned."

"All right."

Ian's face was expressionless, his knee still piled with documents needed for the trip to Crystalbrook Valley.

After several hours of driving, they finally arrived at Crystalbrook Valley when it was already dark.

Ian was staying at the same Riverside Haven as before, while Maja booked a regular hotel. She didn't contact her uncle this time; she just wanted to get things done quietly.

But just as she parked her car in front of the hotel and was about to check in, she saw Susan Elston selling fruits not far away.

Daly Elston had a job, but Susan's work was unstable. She would do odd jobs when she had spare time.

People his age in Crystalbrook Valley who didn't have children were laughed at, so he definitely had a child.

The man froze at her words. Maja extended her hand, "Or you can give me the change back; I’ll give you this money, and we can let it go."

The man's face twisted with embarrassment. He cursed a few words, then tossed a handful of change on the ground.

Susan was the first to react, immediately bending down to pick it up. Maja pulled her up and glared at the man.

"Pick it up."

The man was intimidated by her look and felt a bit embarrassed, "You're so stubborn!"

Maja dialed the police right in front of him, just one number short of completing the call.

The man immediately bent down to pick up the money in anger, threw it onto the pile of fruits in the cart, and stormed off.

Susan wiped her eyes sneakily and picked up the money from the pile of fruits.

Maja tore the counterfeit note into pieces and threw it into a nearby trash can to prevent others from being tricked by it again.
