Maja really hit the jackpot that afternoon, strolling through the mall all by herself, when she just happened to bump into a few of
Anna's cronies.
But lurking quietly by Maja's side were two bodyguards, and before Anna's goons could even get close, they were swiftly dealt with
and tossed aside.
Anna, waiting from a distance, was clueless that her minions had been thrown out.
She had already fantasized about Maja, that bitch, begging for mercy. Just the thought of it made her flush with excitement.
But soon enough, she saw her dispatched goons walking back, looking utterly defeated.
Rage instantly covered her face.
"What the hell happened? You guys couldn't handle one woman? Absolute trash."
The faces of her crew were filled with frustration. They couldn't understand how mall security could be so formidable.
Indeed, these folks thought they just had bad luck, running into the mall's security,pletely unaware that those were Maja's
undercover protectors.
Oblivious to all these, Maja, having finished her shopping, planned to head back.
But Anna wasn't ready to give up. She ordered her people to keep an eye out and kidnap Maja should she appear again.

"This twe can't fail. If we can't deal with one woman, what use do | have for you?"
These goons were just thugs, initially only following Alan around to scrape by, let alone taking orders from a woman now. They
were already feeling humiliated, showing no respect towards Anna.
Infuriated, Anna immediately called Bonnie.
Although Bonnie hadn't been in touch with an, she was certain he wouldn't be able to et her anytsoon.
The unattainable always seems more desirable, and now that she was with Alan, an's friend, even out of male pride, an
couldn't stand idly by and watch her stay with Alan.
Upon seeing Anna's call, Bonnie felt a surge of disgust but swiftly answered.
"What's up?"
"Bonnie, I've discovered a woman spreading rumors about you, and she's in league with Stella, even her little lackey."
Bonnie found it amusing that someone as lowly as Stella had her own lackeys, given that Stella used to be their errand girl.
A smirk curled up on her lips, a hint of mischief in her eyes.
"So, this lackey offended you?"
"She slappedin front of Stella. | mentioned | had your backing, but she insulted you with words | can't bring myself to repeat.
Maybe you could talk to Alan, get him to send sguys to help me. | want to bring that woman right to you to apologize
personally.”
Bonnie was indeed curious about what kind of lowlife would be Stella's lackey.
"Alright, but let's keep it clean. You know Alan doesn't want any trouble."
"lI understand, Bonnie. I'll wait here for the guys."
After hanging up, Anna's eyes shone with triumph.
She might not have succeeded this time, but Maja wouldn't be so lucky next time.
On the other side, Stella was already aware of Anna's attempt to go after Maja.
Stella looked at the fruit she was slicing, amused.
Anna was incredibly foolish, not bothering to investigate who she was offending. These people, having been under Bonnie's wing
for too long, thought Bonnie ruled over North America.
They were oblivious to the fact that someone like Bonnie couldn't even touch the fringes of the North American elite.
Letting them face Maja was a good way to save Stella the trouble.
A smile played across Stella's face, and Beck, seeing her smile, sensed someone was about to have a bad day.

His brows furrowed in concern, but he decided to ask.
"What do you think about an? Should we tell your dad about this?"
Stella shrugged, seemingly indifferent.
If it weren't for her nightmares, Beck would truly believe she didn't care about the situation at all.
This woman was adept at concealing her true feelings.
He looked down, considering her past environments, Beck decided not to press further.
"Rest here for a week, then we leave."
He didn't wish to entangle himself further with her.
Stella found this amusing but knew if Beck found out she was steering Anna against Maja, he'd turn on her even faster.
Maja was indeed lucky to have such a protective brother.
Before things blew up, it was wise for her to leave.
"Sure, Beck. I'll rest here for a week."
Beck snorted coldly, ending the conversation.
