Chapter 51
“In any case, you should apologize to her first, shes been looking for Tricia for a long time”
Those words hit Maja like a sharp knife, piercing her heart.
While Neil was comforting Cristina, he was getting ready to pat his daughter on the shoulder
“Maja it’s not that I don’t want to help you You also know Tricia’s physical condition, the doctor said if she’s not taken care of properly, she might only have ten more years.” Maja dodged him
It was a small move, but it felt like a barrier, blocking them off
Neil paused, a hint of disappointment flashed across his face, “This time it’s on her. Your face is swollen, I’ll go get you some medicine.”
A blow and then consolation, Maja had had enough of it
“Dad, no need”
She let go of her hand that was touching her cheek.
“Im leaving Just take care of Tricia when she wakes up.”
She turned to leave, but heard Cristina sneer, “You finally show your true colors, right? Tricla hasn’t even left the emergency room yet, and you’re In such a hurry to leave. I bet you wish she never comes out, then the Pennyfeather family only has you as a daughter, right?”
“Cristina”
Neil finally snapped He thought she had crossed the line.
“She’s still angry, don’t take her words to heart…” Then he comforted Maja!
Maja laughed sarcastically. “Every if I say I hope Tricia’s okay, I don’t think anyone in the Pennyfeather family would belleve me. As for the slap, I’ll take it, but this is the last time.”
With that, she stepped into the elevator without a moment’s hesitation.
As soon as the elevator door closed, Cristina pointed tremblingly to where Maja had just stood.
“Look at her attitude, she doesn’t respect you at all!”
Nel sighed.
“The Raymonds sent a message, they’re willing
to
help us with the second round of financing, Maja secured that She can be willful at times, but as an adult, you can’t just go around hitting her.”
Cristina snorted, apparently thinking she hadn’t hit hard enough.
Exiting the elevator, Maja’s heart hurt more than her face.
She never cared about Cristina’s opinion of her, but now her father’s scale was tipping heavily.
Toward Cristina.
She was in a hurry when she stepped out of the elevator, and bumped into someone around the corner, stepping back a few paces.
Without looking up to see who it was, she muttered, “Sorry.”
With that, she kept her head down and tried to leave.
But then she heard a voice from behind, “Penny?”
Maja froze, turning to see it was Maureen Raymond, Ryan’s mother.
Maureen was dressed in an appropriate suit, carrying a Hermes bag, and looked somewhat surprised at the swelling on Maja’s face..
“Who hit you? Did you and Ryan have a fight?”
Feeling down already, encountering Maureen only made her more nervous.
Should she tell Maureen the truth now that Ryan wasn’t there?

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....
