Chapter 553
Ferris was already spreading the news about over–working his employees to death online, and it was getting some
buzz. Maja’s name wasn’t mentioned up until then, but if Ferris kept going on like that, her name would be all over
the net when the noise got louder.
After the cops and Ferris‘ people left, Maja took Zoey and started tailing Ferris in the evening. Instead of going
straight home after work, Ferris went to another house which he had rented. As soon as the door opened, he
hurriedly rushed to embrace someone inside.
“Baby, I’ve missed you.”
The house was on the ground floor with open windows and even a small courtyard. Compared to May’s treatment
at the Pennyfeather’s, she seemed to be the apple of Ferris’s eye.
Ferris was no spring chicken, over forty, and he was still getting it on by the window.
Maja had had enough and told Zoey to take pictures of them. Zoey also felt nauseous, especially thinking about
how Ferris hadn’t given May a dime all those years. The anger boiled over, “This man deserves to be punished!
After her comment, Maja chuckled, “There are plenty of men like this. Most women who have children don’t want to
divorce, even if they’re being abused, as they just want to provide a complete home for their kids.”
“Mr. Pennyfeather, I really can’t understand their thinking. If I were their child, I wouldn’t want to live in a family
with domestic violence and infidelity.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMaja looked back into the room. The location was close to the road, probably cost a pretty penny.
Zoey was still young, not married, and still angry, “I even blame my mom for not fighting back, for not running
away, so I can’t understand these women.”
“If you did understand, you’d be one of them. Essentially, they can’t accept their failed marriages, and the kids are
just an excuse.”
Unwilling to face a failed marriage, unwilling to face public opinion, children became an excuse not to divorce for
people like them. But in the end, it’s all about not wanting to give up.
Zoey took many pictures, her face full of anger, “I even suspect that May was murdered, and Ferris wants to use
her body to extort the Pennyfeather group.”
Maja looked at the couple still making love in the house, feeling sick to her stomach, and even a bit like throwing up,
“Let’s keep investigating. So far, we’ve only found out about Ferris’s affairs and domestic violence.”
“Mr. Pennyfeather, there’s news from that side. Ferris’s two sons haven’t been to work recently, they’ve been
staying home, but May’s body had already been
cremated.”
The body was cremated so quickly, which indicated that there must be something fishy going on. And they only
came to demand money after the cremation. Maja lowered her eyes and rubbed her temples, “Let’s get the PR
department to suppress the news online for now, and don’t make it too big. Keep up with the police investigation
and send these pictures to the police to start looking into Ferris’s affairs and domestic violence.”
After a series of position adjustments at the Pennyfeather group, every department was finally well–organized and
responsive, just as Maja had hoped for.
“Good.”
Zoey drove away from there, Maja looked out the window at the disappearing scenery, casually asking, “You and
your boyfriend have been in a relationship for seven years, why haven’t you gotten married yet?”
Zoey’s face lit up with happiness, “Actually, we’re engaged. But before I joined the Pennyfeather group, I was very
busy with work and had to travel a lot, so we never had time to discuss our wedding. After joining the Pennyfeather
group, my boss was a bit conservative, so things didn’t go very smoothly. It wasn’t until you came that I felt hopeful
about life.”
Maja found it amusing, “So now you’re going to start discussing wedding plans with your fiancé?”
“Yes, we’re going to start discussing it, and we’ll definitely send you an invitation when the time comes.”
“Alright, I’ll be there.”
Their mood lightened a bit, but when Maja returned to Rosewood Manor, she was still a bit depressed. She took
Coco for a walk; it had been a while since they had
a walk.
On the other side.
lan was sitting in his hospital bed while Fitch was talking to him, “The people who came after you have a very
mysterious background. When things went south, they left the country immediately and probably sneaked in
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwithout leaving any identification. I suspect they’re from an overseas organization, probably they are after Eric’s
stuff. Remember the bracelet Carlene gave you? My people have checked it out, it’s just a regular bracelet, no
secrets. But the other party may have received some information, that’s why they made such a move.”
“Two groups of people came to kill me.”
Fitch nodded, hesitating before saying, “The other group was more brutal, they’re sent by your uncle Carl
Raymond. You’ve beaten Lingery Raymond to a pulp, he needs help to go to the bathroom now, you think he’s not
mad?”
“Lingery Raymond is crippled?”
“Not completely, but your kicks have affected his excretory function, as a result he’ll need to use diapers from now
on.”
lan laughed, “Is it that serious?”
Seeing him laugh, Fitch knew he must have done it on purpose. He had been in the squad, of course, he knew how
to humiliate a man. The Raymonds must hate him to the care for his actions.
“For Penny, you’re so ruthless, the other members of the Raymond family will probably come after you.”
lan leaned back, unbothered, “They’ve always been after me, just didn’t dare to do it openly. Half of the
assassination attempts I’ve experienced since childhood were their doing. But my brother was around then, they
didn’t dare to be so blatant. After my brother left, they turned their sights on me.”
