Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 2247

Grandma Edith let out a weary sigh and patted his hand gently.

“I won’t say any more about it. Just keep an eye on Athena for me.”

Marlon walked with her outside for a little while, but soon his phone rang—it was Maggie calling.

His brows drew together in annoyance. Without hesitation, he blocked her number.

Maggie was livid. For days now, she’d been bombarding Marlon with messages, but he hadn’t responded to a single one. That morning, he’d even posted on Facebook, publicly announcing that he was cutting all ties with her.

Now, Maggie felt like the laughingstock of everyone around her.

She just couldn’t accept it. She’d been so close to marrying into the Keller family.

And it was all Athena’s fault.

Fuming, she dialed one of her people—someone who’d been tailing Athena for weeks. Finally, there was a lead.

“Ms. Olson, Athena’s out shopping today.”

“Send me the address.”

Immediately, Maggie hopped in her car and headed to the mall. There, she spotted Athena.

Athena was still using a cane, her gait slow and careful. Beside her was Carol.

Carol had reached out to Athena after hearing about the accident—she thought a little retail therapy might do her some good.

As Athena hobbled along, her eyes landed on a display of watches. Suddenly, she thought about buying one for Lindsay.

Back when she’d handed over her entire two million to someone else, she hadn’t kept a cent for herself. But that morning, Tyler had given her a card loaded with an amount of money she couldn’t even begin to count.

Maybe it was the Keller family’s mountain of expensive gifts that triggered her—either way, she wanted to get Lindsay something nice, to make up for everything.

For over two months, Lindsay had stayed cooped up in that house, all to help Athena carry out her plan.

Athena picked out a watch and asked the saleswoman to take it out of the case.

Carol admired it from the side. “That’s beautiful! It really suits your skin tone—and look at all those emeralds and diamonds. Very classy.”

Athena grinned. “Tyler handed me a card this morning.”
