When they arrived at Greenfield Gardens, he helped her take a bath and then stepped outside to
smoke a cigarette.
Fitch called her.
“I’ve investigated those two. It’s possible they were manipulated by someone, but their history in
Crystalbrook Valley checks out. I had Phelps recheck the DNA test, and there’s no issue there. Those
two did sell a daughter years ago, and have been looking for her ever since. That might have been a
scheme by someone, but it backfired and revealed Maja’s true origins. The social circles are buzzing
with gossip.”
Had it not been for lan, Maja would have been mercilessly humiliated at the party.
Once connected to a family, an individual’s strength was irrelevant in these social circles. No amount of

public gaze, causing a sharp pain in his chest.
“Don’t let those two show up again.”
“That might be difficult. You’ve only just made a big move in the Raymond Corporation. Many people
are watching you. Right now, she’s just your girlfriend. There are plenty who hope you’ll break up. You
know your charm, and there are many women in the circle who want to marry you. If you break up with
Maja, she becomes a target. If you chase them away now, they’ll just be brought back.”
This circle was ruthless, devouring anyone in its path.
The furrow in lan’s brow deepened as he tossed aside his cigarette.
“Didn’t Drew say Maja was the child born out of Clara’s infidelity?”
