Chapter 964

Brushing off the remnants of her coffee, Maja turned to face Maureen.

The older woman’s gaze was filled with animosity, as every piece of information she had about Maja was tinged with negativity.

In her eyes, it was Maja who had ruined lan, causing him to abandon his duties, and bringing about the downfall of the Raymond family. Maja was like a harbinger of doom that had befallen the Raymond family.

Seeing her son sneaking out to meet Maja had driven Maureen to a state of rage that she had difficulty soothing.

Maja had wanted to retort. Those parents who claimed to love their children were often the ones causing them the most pain without even realizing it, using familial love as their shield.

She had a barrage of retorts at the ready, but in the end, only voiced one.

“Ms. Raymond, if you truly care about Ryan, you should see how upset he is right now.”

Maureen stiffened, as if Maja’s words had struck a nerve.

She didn’t dare to turn her head to see Ryan’s expression, only watching silently as Maja picked up her bag, politely paid the $10 bill, and left.

Maja didn’t say anything else, but that single sentence weighed heavily on Maureen like a bombshell, leaving her unable to react.

She could tell that Ryan was about to leave too. So, she hurriedly tried to say something, but Ryan’s retreating figure was resolute, and he wasn’t going to stop. Left alone, Maureen sat on the nearby leather chair, her face growing pale.

Once in her car, Maja looked through the window to see Ryan following her.
