hit me anymore, it really hurts!”
The bodyguard asked again, “After the incident, did you cremate the body?”
“Yes, yes! My brother suffocated her with a pillow, we held down her limbs together, my dad also choked her neck,
but she was wearing a collared shirt, so there were no visible marks. We quickly cremated the body. Now, my
grandparents keep pushing my dad to marry that woman, and when they do, those two houses will be ours. My
brother and I will each get one.”
No one would know such cruel events existed in this world if they didn’t hear it for themselves.
And there was still no evidence. Law is all about evidence. The most crucial evidence had already been cleaned up.
So even if that family was disgusting, they wouldn’t face any punishment.
Maja didn’t want to stay here anymore, feeling the air had become filthy.
Back in the car, she felt like throwing up. Zoey, who came out with her, was also pale. As women, they could truly
understand the cruelty and despair of such a case. Zoey vomited, the loss of humanity was unbearable.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBack in the car, Maja signaled the bodyguard to drive the two away. The car stopped outside Rosewood Manor, and
Maja looked a bit off, taking a deep sigh.
“Ms. Pennyfeather, are we really just going to let it go like this? Planning on paying them off tomorrow?”
Even if it’s a few hundred thousand, it’s a big win for Ferris.
“Give them a million for now, I’ll figure out the rest later. No rush.”
The next morning, Ferris indeed came early to the company demanding money, with the same arrogant face.
“Maja, if you don’t give me the money, I’ll keep handing out flyers around the Pennyfeather family company, let
everyone know the true face of your company!”
Maja frowned, instructing her staff to prepare a contract, her tone indifferent.
Many
“I’m giving you a million today. After you get the money, you’re not allowed to spread this matter in any way, on
any platform. We’ll settle with this million.”
“You think that million is charity? That was a life, is that all a life is worth to you?”
Maja stood up, her palm slamming the table, “Do I need to repeat the crime scene that day? You and your mistress
were caught by May, you ganged up and killed her. You choked her, your son suffocated her with a pillow, and
others held her down. Ferris, if you keep messing with me, you won’t even get this million!”
Hearing this, Ferris’s face changed. There were only a few people on the scene, and they agreed to keep it a
secret. Who dared to leak it? He started to worry, signed the contract quickly, took the million–dollar check, and
left.
Sitting in her office chair, Maja still felt sick to her stomach. Ferris, on the other hand, felt light–hearted, having just
earned a million by endangering an innocent woman’s life. Now that May was dead and he had the money, wasn’t it
time to enjoy life?
After he left, Maja called her company’s staff.
“You can start the operation. Make sure that woman knows that this is a very profitable business, and ensure she
gets some benefits initially.”
The woman she was talking about was Ferris‘ mistress. She had looked up that woman’s information. She liked
gambling and had won a few million in the past few years, which was how she got two houses. But the rest of her
money came from leeching off other women’s husbands.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHer style was both tacky and seductive, and men over thirty just loved this type. She was easy to pursue,
experienced, and everyone was willing to spend some money on her.
Her relationship with Ferris lasted the longest, and she had some genuine feelings for him.
Since she loved gambling, Maja decided to let her enjoy the thrill of it this time.
After arranging that, Maja felt a bit of her anger subsiding. As a woman, it was hard for her to sleep after hearing
such a thing. She hoped Ferris and his family would be punished soon. But in real life, those unscrupulous people
often lived the best lives. If it wasn’t for her settling accounts with Ferris, he would have escaped the law this time.
Next, Maja kept an eye on this matter while dealing with the Pennyfeather group’s transition.
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
Her hand was healed, and lan had been discharged from the hospital, but he didn’t contact her. Maja felt a lot
lighter.

But occasionally at night, thinking back on their intimate moments, she would feel her body heating up. Who
wouldn’t miss a man like lan?
lan was also holding back, not contacting her. A month passed, and his phone never rang, making him feel
suffocated.
