Chapter 425
“How long have you been working here?”
“Two years”
This meant she knew even before Ferris and Hattie Zimmer that the Neils lived in a villa and owned a company in Greenfield. She just never let on. She must have been the one who tipped off Neil last night.
Maja noticed that May Chandler’s skin was bruised underneath her sleeve. It seemed that Ferris had never stopped abusing her.
May suddenly knelt down when she saw that Maja had nothing more to say.
“Ms. Pennyfeather, please don’t fire me.”
Maja was taken aback and quickly helped her up. “What are you doing?”
May lowered her head. “I know you don’t really like us.
Maja didn’t speak. Her impression of May was not deep. But seeing the small, frail woman with a face full of hardship and skin covered in welts from being whipped, she felt a pang of sympathy.
1 don’t plan to fire you. Just cooperate with the police and give your statement.”
May, afraid that Maja would change her mind, quickly lowered her head and left.
Maja only rubbed her temples after she left.
May had been working here for two years, and Neil never realized that she was Ferris‘ wife.
As she was about to open a file, a message came from lan to her private number.
That meant the message was for lan’s wife.
Just a simple command.
[Keep it.]
Then, a transfer notification appeared on her phone–a whopping four million.
After a night, lan finally remembered to appease his wife in name.
Maja smirked, knowing what the money meant.
One was that it was a compensation for her ordeal last night.
Two, it was to shut her up so she wouldn’t complain to Holden, or else he wouldn’t be polite.
Maja’s eyes were calm.
[Mr. Raymond, if you need to sign divorce papers, I’m always ready.]
She had been kept in the dark all night, and lan didn’t see her face.
But he told Neil that he knew her character.
Why would he say that?
He didn’t know her at all, but he spoke as if she had made a big mistake. His words were almost slanderous.
She wanted to confront lan and ask him what was wrong with her character, but it wasn’t necessary.
When lan saw her response, his eyes tightened.
She really could act as if she wasn’t the one who had been trying to seduce him.
He even suspected that the events of last night were a show she put on herself. Otherwise, why would the kidnapper leave so easily?
His brows furrowed, and his eyes grew colder.
He tossed the phone aside without replying.
Maja didn’t expect a reply.
She worked until the evening, hearing that those involved in the company had been taken away for questioning by the police, and her anger finally subsided a bit.
She wasnt without a temper.
She worked at the company until six in the evening, then went to Greenfield Gardens.
All she wanted to do now was finish the handover of the house as quickly as possible to avoid seeing lan.
Fortunately, there was only one problem with the decoration of the house: a pillar. Silverstone Enterprises had a good reputation in the industry, so they were trustworthy
She took a tour of the second floor, where she had prepared a very large master bedroom for lan. After all, this was the last house she designed, and she wanted to do her best.
She sent lan a text message from her work phone.
[Mr. Raymond, I noticed you’re quite good at painting when we were in Crystalbrook Valley. Do you want me to prepare a separate painting room for you?]

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
