Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 59

Dalia was shaking like a leaf, fresh out of the loo, with Mia leading her to the staff room to change.

Mia had a thing for Samuel. While Dalia was getting changed, Mia mentioned spotting Samuel, along with Luis from Synthetech Industries, and Maja, who had bumped into her.

Dalia had a major beef with Maja. Seeing the bracelet on Mia's wrist, she got an idea.

Dalia swiped Mia's bracelet. When Mia noticed it had gone walkabout, Dalia swiftly piped up, "Perhaps it got nicked when you were bumped earlier?"

That set Mia thinking of Maja and she started looking for her.

Mia didn't feel she'd done anything wrong, if anything, she had an even bigger chip on her shoulder about Maja. If Maja hadn't stolen it, wouldn't she be the one in the hot seat?

Her crush was there, losing face in front of him was worse than death. So, when Dalia started talking, Mia chimed in.

"Exactly! No way! She's the one who nicked it, I saw it with my own eyes. Plus, she was standing in a blind spot, no way the cameras caught that! She's just trying to buy time!"

The headmaster wanted them to go, but Mia and Dalia were having none of it, leaving the security guards in a pickle.

The headmaster shot a helpless glance towards Ian, "Mr. Raymond, what do you think..."

Ian was deadpan, unimpressed with the headmaster's spinelessness. "Jeff, you go."

His tone was flat, eyes cold.

The headmaster didn't dare dawdle, he ordered the security guards, "Take him along."

Maja found the headmaster's flip-flopping amusing, a smirk playing on her lips. She didn't laugh, though, solstice college was her alma mater after all.

The headmaster had only gotten his position by being a yes-man.

If he kept his seat, there would only be more students misunderstood like her, so showing the investors his true colors wasn't a bad thing.

There were a few sofas in the middle of the exhibition, where waitstaff provided tea.

Ian headed for the sofas, apparently planning to wait for the results himself.

Maja knew Ian wasn't standing up for her. As the biggest investor in Solstice College, he wouldn't let the headmaster embarrass him.

He was a businessman, concerned about whether this deal met his expectations.

After he left, Connie came over, worried about Maja being bullied here, and dragged her along behind Ian.

Maja was a bit helpless but didn't have the heart to refuse, after all, Connie meant well.

Connie got Maja seated next to Ian.
