Chapter 574
Everyone around was gobsmacked. The traffic light had already changed, but no car budged.
Neil’s car was smoking, then on fire. Someone dialed 911 immediately, and the whole scene was thrown into chaos.
Laura’s eyes were red and swollen. At the moment of the collision, she was thrown by the airbag, with broken glass
piercing her chest. But she was still alive.
Seeing the car quickly catch fire, she chuckled.
“Go to hell!”
Maja was sitting in her office, feeling a bit jittery.
She wasn’t sure if it was because she had been reading too many files and attending too many meetings that her
head was spinning.
At nine o’clock at night, she received a call from the hospital telling her she needed to come to identify a body.
At first, Maja thought they had the wrong number until they started reading out the name.
“Your father was in a car accident at seven this evening. No one in the car survived.
Neil? But how could he have been in a car?
Maja still thought it was a mistake, as Neil was too sick to leave the house.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter hanging up, she immediately dialed the Pennyfeather family’s mansion to confirm. It turned out that Neil
wanted to bring her dinner.
Maja’s head went “buzz“. She rushed to the hospital immediately.
Three charred bodies were laid out. The doctor was trying to comfort her on the side.
“We’ve examined the bodies. One was your father, Neil; one was the driver, and the other was a servant. The
accident was entirely the other party’s fault. The driver, Laura, is still being rescued. She’s a celebrity.”
Maja saw a charred hand sticking out from under the white sheet. She covered her mouth, speechless.
“Ms. Pennyfeather, we have to wait for the driver to be rescued before we can deal with this.”
Maja almost fainted. She didn’t have the courage to lift the sheet. After being helped to sit down, she started
throwing up.
The smell of burnt flesh filled the air. She was shivering all over, feeling freezing cold.
She hugged herself, her nails almost digging into her arms.
Her teeth were chattering. As she signed the identification documents, silent tears soaked the paper.
The doctor handed her a tissue, looking a bit heartbroken.
“Ms. Pennyfeather, do you have any other family? We can call them to come pick you up.”
Maja shook her head, leaning weakly against the wall.
The driver added:
“Everything in the car was burnt. Nothing was left. The police will investigate Laura’s case, and we will notify you of
any follow–up.”
Leaning against the wall, Maja weakly asked, “Has Laura been in contact with anyone recently?”
“We’re not sure.”
Maja dialed the police again, who gave her a phone number.
It was Carlene’s number.
In that instant, anger flared in her heart.
She was reeling from the pain.
She didn’t feel like going back. She curled up in the hospital corridor, spent the night there, and washed her face
with cold water in the bathroom when she woke up. Then she began to prepare for Neil’s funeral.
Looking at her swollen eyes in the mirror, she immediately knew who had pushed her into the water in the nigh,
Carlene.
Carlene had become cunning, always hiding behind others.
Even if the police found out about the phone call, legally speaking, Cartene was innocent.
Because she didn’t directly instigate Laura, she only provided the license plate information.
Maja felt a stomachache. She threw up again, the pain making her break out in a cold sweat.
She was only fifteen days away from divorcing lan, but she felt she had to do something.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe frantically searched for information on the EverBest Group online and finally found out that the EverBest Group
had recently received an investment from a company. The two companies were going to sign a five hundred million
dollar financing contract in five days. Once the contract was signed, the EverBest Group would be able to pull
through. That’s why Carlene was feeling smug.
Because she knew that Laura didn’t kill Maja, she killed Maja’s father.
This news was enough to cause Maja great pain.
Not to mention, the Shepard family was about to get an investment. Once their current difficulties were over, she
would still be the proud daughter of the Shepard family, while Maja was an orphan.
Carlene was sitting in her living room, unable to suppress a triumphant smile.
Tess comforted her, saying, “I told you, we’ll find a way. The Shepard family’s turning point is coming.”

“Mom, you’re right. I was too impatient before.”
The mother and daughter shared a smile, feeling that the upcoming days would be wonderful.
Meanwhile, Maja was tirelessly investigating the EverBest Group. She even asked for help from Samuel, Luis, and
the Miller family, but not from lan, her husband in
name.
