Chapter 344
He just couldn’t buy it, urging his folks not to fall for it lest they get scammed. He had no clue where they got that piece of news from.
However, to his shock, his parents came back a few hours later with a whopping 300,000 dollars.
Ferris Pennyfeather could hardly believe his eyes when he went to the bank to settle the loan.
30 years of mortgage, all paid off at once, and still, a good chunk of change left.
“I’ve paid off the loan ahead of schedule, and the bank has already deducted the money; we won’t have to worry about the mortgage anymore.”
Hattie Zimmer’s eyes were filled with excitement, which quickly turned into greed.
“Neil is loaded now and can easily cough up 300,000 dollars. His mansion is swanky. One floor is probably hundreds of square meters, with plenty of space for us to move in. You can rent out this place and collect the rent.”
Ferris Pennyfeather felt a twinge of envy, but he was unsure if Neil would agree since his parents had hardly cared about Neil over the years, and now they wanted to move into his mansion.
“Didn’t you say Neil is still in a coma?”
“Yes, Neil is still out cold. His second wife has a son with another man. If something were to happen to Neil, wouldn’t the Pennyfeather family’s company and assets fall into the hands of this outsider? Neil has two daughters, one named Maja and the other named Tricia; you’ve already met Maja, while Tricia has a shaky health. What can two women do? You can adopt one of your sons to Neil; he would be mighty grateful.”
Abram Pennyfeather nodded along and said, “She’s got a point. What can women do? You should come with us to see Neil; he runs a company. You won’t have to worry about being sacked. Our whole family can work at his company!”
On hearing this, Ferris Pennyfeather started to feel the heat. If something really happened to Neil, wouldn’t all that money fall into the
hands of his second wife?
His face turned red in urgency as if his money was being taken away.
Ferris Pennyfeather was Neil’s younger brother, and their parents had always favored him and put him first.
Even though his grades were worse than Neil’s, his parents made Neil drop out of school so he could continue his education.
When Neil got married and had a daughter, his parents liked him even less.
They were glad that Ferris Pennyfeather was doing well. His wife had given birth to two sons!
While they were still thrilled, a call came in, saying that he might not want to give them money if they didn’t go to the hospital to see Neil when he woke up.
Abram Pennyfeather and Hattie Zimmer thought it made sense. They hurried to the hospital, telling Ferris Pennyfeather, “You stay home and wait for our good news. We will definitely make Neil take one of your sons, then the Pennyfeather family’s assets will be your
son’s.”
Ferris Pennyfeather’s cheeks turned red with excitement, and he nodded.
“Then you guys better get going!”
Hattie Zimmer and Abram Pennyfeather arrived at the hospital where Neil was, intending to visit him.

Why are there no updates yet, Author. We've all been waitibg for quite a while now. Please, update soon, Author. Thanks....
Author, my thoughts on the book. When are You going to write on Cornelia and Omar Casson's romance? You made no mention, describing in detail how Maja and Uan's white wedding ceremony went. Also, you didn't write on Carol's baby delivery. What about Tyler's romance. Is there closure on Phelps Herrington being truly certified dead, so also his twin brother? Dylan's research institute "little girl", what became of her and Dylan's romance? Beck's blind dates, what were the results, is he married now, so also Dylan to his "little girl"? Why hasn't Ian's father- Steven come forward to meet Maja's parents as the in-laws meeting each other especially with his supposed past with Lillian; Maja's mother. I hope I won't remain curious for too long on the aforementioned issues, Author. Thanks for doing a good job on Zoey and Fitch's romance, though. Kudos....
