Chapter 574
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.
After 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.

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....
