When Maja returned to the underground fighting ring, her phone buzzed with a call from Beck. “Maja, I’ve sorted everything out with the Sanders family. You don’t need to worry. Those two share transfer documents are still valid. While you’re gone, I’ll keep an eye on the Sanders family. Dylan has stepped out now that things are settled.” It was clear Dylan had been used as a tool to fix the mess. Beck shuffled through the papers in his hand as he briefed the situation over the phone. “I’ll get the hang of the company’s affairs. Even if I stumble, I can always call Dylan back. You focus on finding that antidote, we’re all waiting for you.” A wave of relief washed over Maja. Her time with Beck had been brief, yet both in the past and now, he always had the air of an older brother. As for Dylan, he was overly indulgent with Judith. But looking at it from another angle, if Maja hadn’t been switched at birth, she would have been the object of such boundless affection. Dylan was at fault was an understatement. He erred in not lavishing that favor and indulgence upon the right person. After hanging up, Maja turned towards Ian, who stood by the window. She still harbored some worry about the imposters’ claims. Test subjects? Could it all be linked to Ian? She slowly wrapped her arms around his waist from behind. Ian placed his hand over hers. “Maja, I know what’s worrying you. Don’t overthink it.” She rested her forehead against his back, “How can I not?” Ian felt a twinge of helplessness and turned to envelop her in an embrace. “If you want me to explain, I wouldn’t know where to start. I’m just as confused. That’s why we need to bring Patric along on this trip. Maybe he’ll remember something along the way.” Maja nodded, thinking about the impending journey and how long it might be before they returned. She took out her phone and called Zoey. Zoey’s voice sounded raspy as if she might be sick. “Zoey, are you alright?” In Greenfield, Zoey touched her forehead and peered into the dark sky outside, forcing a smile. “I’m fine, Ms. Pennyfeather. Are you coming back soon?” “Not for a while. Ian and I are heading somewhere that might take months.” “Don’t worry about the company, Ms. Pennyfeather. I’ll take care of everything.” Maja breathed a sigh of relief. With Zoey at the helm, she trusted Star Movie Group would thrive. Zoey glanced down, and the night’s events were painting a bittersweet smile on her lips. “Ms. Pennyfeather, I’ll be waiting for your return.” After the call, she heard a dog barking. Ozzy, the puppy she and Fitch had adopted. But since Fitch’s memory returned, he hadn’t contacted her. Before his amnesia, they had at least managed to see each other regularly, even if his interest was merely sex, a kind of spiteful desire.
