tan had meant to wrap his arms around her waist, but seeing her retreat so suddenly, almost knocking over the
potted fern nearly caused him to pause
“Maja
He called out, taking large strides to check on her
Maja curled into herself, her mind in turmoil.
She fumbled to rise from the floor
“lan, I need to rest. My head hurts
Her fingertips brushed against the wall. Not waiting for lan’s response, she moved away.
lan rushed to follow, but as Maja reached the corridor, she heard a woman’s voice
“Has Mr. Raymond been home today? I’ve visited several times recently and he hasn’t met with me. My belongings
are still at Greenfield Gardens “
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFootsteps echoed from outside, growing steadily closer
Jolin looked up seeing Maja Recognizing the similar features, she instantly knew this was the woman lan had fallen
for
Maja simply looked in the direction of the approaching footsteps, not saying a word, and tried to move away
Jolin raised an eyebrow So, this woman was blind?
A sense of triumph washed over her Surely no sane man would choose a blind woman over her
Feigning surprise at noticing Maja’s condition, she offered “Miss, can I help you? I’m familiar with this place
Before Maja could respond, her arm was being guided. She frowned in discomfort
“No need thank you. Let go
She really didn’t need help, especially not from a stranger
With her heightened senses, she could smell the woman’s scent, a scent she’d once detected on lan.
Remembering what Patric had mentioned about a woman who’d been close to lan during her absence, Maja felt a
pang of discomfort.
lan’s heart dropped when he saw Jolin. He had completely forgotten about her.
Days ago, Jolin had mentioned that she was heading to Crystalbrook Valley to visit her family and wouldn’t be
around for a week. He had agreed, assuming it wouldn’t be a problem
But now, she was here meeting Maja face–to–face.
Feeling guilty, lan moved quickly to Maja’s side
“Maja, let me take you to your room to rest. This is the new housekeeper at Greenfield Gardens. If you don’t like
her, I’ll have her dismissed immediately
Jolin’s eyes widened in disbelief She might resemble this woman, but she was younger. Surely fan wasn’t so
desperate to be with a blind woman!
Once he’d escorted Maja to her room, Jolin was waiting outside.
As soon as he emerged, she linked her arm through his

she’d worn for her high school graduation.
Seeing another person imitate her would offend anyone
Today Jolin had purposely styled her hair in a ponytail and even wore the same school uniform. She’d figured out
that Maja was also a high school graduate, so they must have worn the same uniform at some point
“Mr Raymond don’t you like what I’m wearing?”
lan frowned Tve asked Jeff to take you away. Your debts have been paid. Don’t come looking for me again.”
Jolin stood still for a while, then stepped back
“Mr. Raymond are you joking with me?
She couldn’t accept it. She was being discarded for a blind woman!
Damn it, why didn’t this blind woman just die?
Jolin had been pampered lately losing sight of her original plans. She’d thought she could easily manipulate lan.
So when he said those words, her first impulse was to barge into the room and push Maja out of the window Killing
that wretched woman would solve everything.
