Chapter 684
Maja didn’t want to say another word. Whatever Feynman and Jean wanted to regret or resent, that was their
business. Jean’s uncontrollable sobbing echoed from behind her. But Erlinda was already gone, and crying wouldn’t
change that. Jean helped Feynman into the house, and they both looked like they had aged years in just a few
moments.
She splashed some cold water on Feynman’s face to help him sober up.
For the first time ever, they were silent, with no words spoken between them.
The next day, they seemed to have regained a little energy, but they were still shell–shocked by the events of the
previous day. “That Penny might just be blowing smoke.”
“Erlinda always treated us with respect.”
Their conversations were flat and no one wanted to take the blame for their daughter’s death..
Until Nolan called saying none of the three scripts were selected.
“I know you’re hurting, but I’m sorry about this.”
Feynman’s grip on the phone tightened. Remembering the tape he had heard, he wished he could tear Nolan apart!
But this was Nolan, they couldn’t fight Nolan.
And the tape couldn’t be made public, or Erlinda’s death would become a huge scandal.
Now Feynman had made this whole situation public, and with the truth added in, many would probably say Erlinda
was the seducer. Society was harsh on women.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtErlinda was already gone, the couple didn’t want her to be talked about like that. They just wanted her to rest in
peace.
Thinking of their daughter buying birth control pills alone, they were filled with regret.
It was all this shameless man!
This rotten teacher!
“Professor Smith, since Erlinda’s scripts weren’t chosen, give them back to us.”
Now that he had the scripts, Nolan didn’t want to waste any more time with this foolish couple.
“The investors took the scripts; they get many every day and it’s hard to find them. I’ll return them when I find
them.”
These were just excuses; he was just brushing them off.
Jean finally lost her temper and started yelling.
“You beast! I’ll take you down with me.”
But Feynman had already hung up the phone before she lost her cool.
Jean looked at her helpless husband, her heart filled with sorrow.
Meanwhile, Maja had made several backups of the scripts and applied for copyrights.
She found out that all three scripts were sold to Funfly for nearly ten million.
Maja also told Meetman that the funds and crew were ready, and they could start filming anytime.
But Funfly was just starting to prepare.
A smirk formed on her lips. Simstar Entertainment was good at making a buzz, so they didn’t need to go out to look
for the script which Simstar would film first, they could just look at the trending topics. Thus, they found out that
they would be filming The Storm first.
So Maja called Meetman.
“We’ll film The Storm first and try to air it while we’re still filming. This way we can. beat Simstar Entertainment
before they even get started.”
However, all the trending topics and ads that Simstar Entertainment bought for The Storm would end up benefiting
S.M.
Thinking of Nolan and Funfly’s outraged faces when they find out the truth, Maja couldn’t help but smirk.
All they had to do now was wait for the web drama to air. But she didn’t want to sit idle, so she posted an
anonymous post online hinting that Nolan stole a student’s work and claimed it as his own without paying the
student anything for it.
This was linked to Erlinda’s suicide, so it immediately attracted a lot of attention and quickly rose to the second spot
on the trending topics.
The first spot was obviously still Erlinda’s suicide.
When Nolan saw the trending topic, he was scared out of his wits.
He immediately called Funfly, asking her to take down the trending topic.
But then he received a recording on his phone.
It was too familiar. It was the event that took place in his office that day.
He had deeply insulted Erlinda and even took a few minutes to vent his feelings.

It was sent from an unknown number.
And a message was sent to him.
”
[If Professor Smith asks to take down the trending topic, this recording will be released immediately.
The recording was enough to ruin him, he would never be able to recover his reputation.
Was it Penny?!
Only he, Erlinda, and Penny were in the office that day.
Erlinda couldn’t have recorded it, it had to be Penny!
Nolan couldn’t sleep, he had to deal with Penny before the recording was released!
She was just a small fry.
Maja had a party that night, the last time she would see Judson from Silverstone Enterprises. The renovations at
Greenfield Gardens were complete, and they needed to have a ceremonial dinner,
She was familiar with Judson, and the dinner went smoothly.
She had a few drinks and stumbled into the hotel elevator.
But soon three men entered that elevator. They were dressed in suits, but the attire didn’t suit them.
Maja sensed danger and tried to press the elevator button, but the men suddenly grabbed her and pinned her
against the wall.
Someone even started to take off her pants and had a phone ready to take pictures of her.
