Chapter 312

Dana couldn’t lift her head, which was the most embarrassing moment of her life!

All because of Maja!

The bodyguard wouldn’t have dragged her into this room if she hadn’t stalked Maja last night.

!

If Maja hadn’t shown up now, ho one would know she was with the bodyguard.

In short, all this was Maja’s fault.

Dana glared at Maja with hatred; she wanted her to pay!

Maja stayed cool, not trying to dodge, “Dana, you want to explain this?”

Dana tasted blood in her mouth, and her eyes burned with rage.

That’s when Carlene spoke up.

“Penny, she’s a victim. Can you be a little gentler? Maybe the bodyguard misheard.”

The bodyguard took Carlene’s advice and quickly nodded in agreement.

“Yeah, my bad; really sorry for the misunderstanding.”

Now that things had come to this, Maja couldn’t press the matter. But she still felt uneasy.

Yet the bodyguard had admitted to his mistake and accepted responsibility.

And Dana was the victim. If Maja kept pushing, she’d just be annoying.

Just as everyone fell silent, another group of people appeared around the corner of the corridor.

Leading the pack was lan, who had just finished a meeting.

Tyler and Fitch were standing by his side.

And Dana, still sitting on the floor, felt utterly humiliated at the sight of lan.

What could be more heartbreaking than seeing your crush in such a state?

lan frowned slightly at the sight of so many people gathered together.

“What happened?”

He returned to his usual indifference as if the passionate man from last night wasn’t him.

Carlene immediately approached him.

“A bodyguard accidentally got drunk last night and hurt Dana. We’re investigating who prepared the

drink.”

Drink?

lan’s gaze fell on Maja; no one was helping her apart from Connie.

She stood alone, looking somewhat lonely.

This made him uncomfortable.

And Connie wasn’t not helping Maja; it’s just that after lan’s arrival, she remembered the sounds she

heard last night, and her face was beet red.

She didn’t dare to look at lan and had to look away.

Maja took a deep breath. With lan here, he was obviously on Carlene’s side. Otherwise, this could

affect Carlene’s reputation.

But that’s okay, and she had already explained herself here. At least no harmful rumors about her

would spread today.

Just as she was about to leave with Connie, she heard lan say.

“Penny.”

In an instant, all eyes were on her.

Maja stiffened, unsure if it was her imagination, but she sensed a hint of tenderness in lan’s tone.

She was a bit puzzled and instinctively looked up at him.

Carlene was standing right next to him. Hearing him call her name, she clenched her fists in anger.

Although schadenfreude was not nice, at this moment, Maja did feel an indescribable pleasure.

“Mr. Raymond.” She politely called him.

lan’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. Mr. Raymond?

Last night in the heat of passion, she had called him darling, but now she was addressing him as Mr.

Raymond in a detached

manner.

He looked a bit upset but tried to suppress his emotions.

“You don’t look so good. What happened?”

Maja found it increasingly strange that he first ignored Carlene’s words and asked about her situation.

Although she felt relieved, she also felt a bit uneasy.

She briefly described the recent events and then raised her head in a manner that was neither humble

nor arrogant.

“I think Dana is trying to pin the blame on me. If I hadn’t shown up, my reputation would have been

damaged starting today. She should apologize to me.”

The others at the scene looked at her with strange eyes.

Dana was Carlene’s cousin, and Carlene was lan’s beloved. Penny was actually daring to be so bold.
