Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 495

Maja crashed at Rosewood Manor until 8 in the evening, waking up feeling like she had been beaten with a stick.

Maria had made some soup, which she sipped on.

"Ms. Pennyfeather, you look like you're going through something. Need a doctor to take a look?"

Maja shook her head and said, "No need."

Maria could only sigh, "Well, you better take care of yourself. You look like you've lost a ton of weight."

Maja touched her face, about to say something, when a text from RosenGarden community management popped up.

"Dear homeowner, during our routine patrol last night, we noticed some activity in your apartment while the surveillance system was down. We've received a complaint from a neighbor suggesting you might be involved in illegal activities. The police are now involved; we hope you'll cooperate."

Bloody Rita.

Maja was ticked off. After dinner, she drove to RosenGarden and there she was, Rita with the cops, looking all smug. It seemed like things with Ryan Elston were going well for her.

Upon seeing Maja, Rita pointed right at her.

"There she is! Those two guys were coming out of her apartment. Her personal life has always been a mess."

Maja ignored her and told the police, "I haven't been staying here recently; the place was probably burgled. I hope the police can help investigate this."

Rita butted in.

"Don't play innocent! You know what you did; you're just scared that others will find out."

Maja smirked. "Miss Rita, I'd like to have a word with you in private; can we talk over there?"

She gestured towards a corner down the hallway.

Rita thought Maja was scared and snorted, "If you want to apologize, do it here, in front of everyone."

"I don't want to apologize. I want to talk to you about Ryan."

Rita frowned and followed Maja to the corner.

"What's this about?"

Before she could finish, Maja slapped her twice.

Rita's face instantly swelled up, and she tasted blood.

Maja was already in a sour mood, and Rita was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. And she certainly wouldn't slap someone in front of the cops; that's why she made up an excuse to get Rita away.

This part of the hallway wasn't covered by surveillance cameras; Maja had made sure of that.

"You dare to hit me?"

Maja crouched down to look at her and patted her swollen cheek, not holding back at all.

"If I were you, I'd cherish my current life and wouldn't go looking for trouble. Miss Rita, your life is too good; it makes me jealous. How can a woman leap across classes? It’s really not fair."

Maja spoke with a laugh, her palm lightly touching Rita's neck.

"If you cause trouble for me again, I'll be waiting for you at my doorstep, and I'll stab you a few times. We can die together."

Maja pulled back her hand, looking at her calmly.

"You moving won't help; I can get in touch with Mr. Elston. As long as I see you, I can deal with you."

Maja leaned closer, her eyes filled with resolve.

"I can't stand others being happier than me."

Maja was putting on a show; she wanted Rita to know that she was desperate to find a partner to die with.

Rita was so scared by Maja's determined look that she couldn't say a word.

Because of her yelling earlier, the cops had come over and, seeing Rita on the floor, asked, "What happened?"

Maja helped her up: "Nothing serious; she was probably scared by the thief in my apartment; she does live next door after all."
