Don’t be upset, Ms Pennyfeather”
The bodyguard mistakenly took Maja’s silence for being taken aback by lan’s harsh words.
Maja let out a sigh.
“Dad wants to go home, have him taken back when he’s sober. You guys better look after him well,
don’t let anyone bother him, especially not his parents”
“We understand”
The bodyguard was very respectful. Ever since Cristina’s death, Maja had been handling the
Pennyfeather family affairs, and now she also took over the company shares, becoming the rightful
heiress.
After instructing them a bit, Maja had the driver take her home.
It was two in the morning.
She returned to RosenGarden and looked at herself in the mirror.
Her face was dirty, and her hair was full of ashes from burning hay.
Her clothes were also very dirty since she had been stuffed in a sack the whole time.
She took a bath, and when she came out in her pajamas, she felt exhausted and fell asleep as soon as
she hit the bed.

Sure enough, lan was still busy.
Carlene had been sent home crying; she wasn’t hurt, just scared.
“Tan, you must find out what happened this time.” Her face was full of grievance.
lan returned to the hotel, and Jeff was there too.
“Mr Raymond, we’ve figured it out. It was a bunch of desperados. They’ve transferred their accounts
overseas, and they escaped in the night. They were well prepared; they even spent 300k on a private
jet to escape; they probably never plan on coming back.”

Such people were the hardest to investigate.
Tricia went all out this time; she only got 3 million and transferred 2 million to them straight away. They
were a bunch of pros at this, faster than anyone when things go south.
Tricia was smarter than Glenn and Cristina; she knew lan didn’t know what Maja looked like, so she
staged this scene.
She wanted Maja to experience the pain of being betrayed by a loved one!
Tricia was sure Maja dared not reveal her identity because of her deep love for lan!
Tricia had left Greenfield. She pulled off this big move and left with the remaining 1 million.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t even get this 1 million!
Last night they were supposed to forcibly take Maja away, but lan’s men were too quick.
Even if lan despised Maja, he wouldn’t let her die in front of him. So the kidnappers didn’t take Maja;
otherwise, they wouldn’t have gotten away.
All in all, Tricia was very pleased.
She wanted to see if Maja would be in great pain after going through all this!
But Tricia guessed wrong.
Maja slept well that night. She was too tired; she didn’t even dream.
When she woke up, she felt dizzy and her head was throbbing.
There were a few red marks on her wrist, proof of how hard Neil had gripped and how angry and
unwilling he was,
She washed her face, then went to the Pennyfeather group.
This time, she went to see the cleaning lady.
The cleaner was not tall but was still diligently working.
Maja stood beside her, the cleaner stopped her work and hastily greeted, “Ms. Pennyfeather.”
“Come to my office”
The cleaner thought for a moment, then followed Maja.
Once in the office, Maja sat down.
She had a fever today, and her lips were a bit pale

The cleaner stiffened and hesitated for a while before admitting it.
“You were there yesterday, you knew it was Tom”

“Yes.”
“I’ve reported to the police; I need you as a witness; do you still have that cup of tea?”
“I do.”
Maja was a bit surprised; this cleaner was quite thoughtful.
“Good, you go to the police as a witness; also, were there others involved in this?”
The cleaner named a few people, all of whom were on Maja’s list to fire.
She looked at the cleaner with a meaningful gaze, and after a while, she asked, “Have we met before?”
The cleaner’s hands trembled slightly; a look of hesitation and unease crossed her face. After a while,
she said, “I was Ferris Pennyfeather’s wife.” Maja was surprised.
No wonder when she saw the cleaner at the company before, she felt familiar but couldn’t remember
where she had seen her.
That was a long time ago, and when Maja saw her, she was being whipped by Ferris with a belt, curled
up on the sofa, not daring to move.
Ferris‘ wife was called May Chandler; she had been a full–time housewife to take care of their two
sons. Now that the sons were grown, she had to find a job.
