Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 500

The next day.

No sooner had Maja finished handling the Pennyfeather group's files than she got a call from Shawn.

Shawn asked her to meet up in a coffee shop, and not just any coffee shop - a fancy one.

Before she headed off to the cafe, Maja had urged the court to let her and Edith face off as soon as possible. If it was not possible, she wanted compensation, and pronto.

She was determined not to let that whole painting debacle slide.

Then she went to the coffee shop.

Shawn was dressed to the nines - clearly, he'd put some effort into his appearance.

As soon as he saw Maja, he stood up.

"Penny."

Maja nodded at him, but before she could get a word out; he said, "I'm game if it's you."

Shawn wasn't the macho type - he was more of a softie. His gentleness reminded Maja of someone from her past.

Memories flooded her mind, and she was momentarily lost in her thoughts.

Coincidentally, Shawn echoed a phrase used by that person from her past.

"I knew you were special the moment I laid eyes on you."

Maja was gripping her coffee cup when a hot cup of coffee was thrown directly into Shawn's face.

The coffee shop was reservation-only, so the place was devoid of commoners and paparazzi. Only the rich and celebrities could get in. Shawn had taken off his hat and mask after entering, and at that moment the rich coffee was slowly trickling down his cheeks.

Maja turned to look at the perpetrator, an older woman.

Next to the woman was a young man who looked like he had just come of age.

Maja realized in an instant that that was the rich woman Carol had spoken about, the CEO of Simstar Entertainment—Funfly Darcy.

Simstar Entertainment had been in the entertainment industry for over a decade and was a well-established company that had groomed many stars.

Even though Funfly prided herself on maintaining her looks, she was, after all, in her fifties and her obsession with handsome men had left her somewhat frail. She was also quite plump with a triple chin. Upon seeing Maja, she raised her hand as if she wanted to slap her.

"You dare to touch my man?!"

Funfly didn't recognize Maja and assumed she wasn't anyone important.

Maja swiftly grabbed Funfly's wrist, pushed her back and Funfly staggered back a few steps, panting heavily.

But the four bodyguards Funfly had brought along just sneered at Shawn and Maja.
