Chapter 581
Chapter 581
The car pulled up to the cemetery in no time, the burial needed to be done before sunset, ideally before noon.
The funeral crew was already waiting for her. Dressed in black and clutching the um, she made her way to the selected grave.
The funeral staff nodded at her in greeting, then indicated that the funeral process was complete.
Maja quietly followed the instructions from start to finish; her tears had long since dried up.
However, as she placed the burial items one by one, her eyes welled up with heat.
Ten minutes later, the funeral staff asked her if they could begin sealing the grave.
Maja took a deep breath and managed a smile that looked worse than crying.
“Go ahead.”
The funeral was over.
Maja placed flowers in front of the tombstone and knelt for half an hour before letting the funeral team she hired leave.
In the end, she was the only one left here, as always.
In the end, she was always the only one left.
She didn’t know what to say to Neil; she just remembered his last wish.
If she found his and Lillian’s child, she should tell him at the grave.
Maja knelt until her knees hurt. When she got up, her legs were numb from lack of water, and her lips were cracked.
She licked her lips and walked down the steps to the street, where she saw Carol standing in front of the car.
Carol, usually a vibrant and beautiful woman, was also dressed in black today.
The moment she saw her, Maja’s tears fell.
“Carol.”
Maja hugged Carol and cried for a while.
Carol patted her back and said, “Get in the car first; you have dark circles.”
Maja felt light–headed, but that’s when Zoey called.
“Mr. Pennyfeather, Shawn’s information has been organized, and now I need to ask you if you want to announce the termination of the contract with the original company on social media?”
“Not yet; I need to deal with the Shepard family first.”
Zoey hung up the phone.
Inside the car, Carol sat in the driver’s seat while Maja sat in the passenger seat.
Carol asked her, “There are nine days left until your divorce with lan. What’s your plan?”
“I’m thinking of starting my own company.”
“Women can make their own careers too; what about your painting?”
Maja looked out the window and said, “Before my father passed away, he asked me to find his biological daughter. Without enough financial resources, this is an impossible task. I’ve investigated in Crystalbrook Valley, but all the doctors and nurses related to that time have left. So I always suspect there’s something wrong here. Besides, my place has been broken into several times; they’re not ordinary thieves. If I don’t seize this opportunity to make more money, I always feel that I can’t handle the future.”
She lowered her eyelids with a hint of loss in her eyes.
“I even suspect that someone is manipulating this behind the scenes. But the opponent is too powerful. I can only focus on developing the company first. Besides, at the initial stage, we will encounter many problems. Now what we’re earning is just small change.”
After saying this, Maja’s eyes sharpened. “As for Carlene Shepard, even if I can’t get back at her this time, I’ll continue to look for opportunities next time.”
After lan talked to her yesterday, he didn’t take any action immediately.
Now that those people were still at the gate of the EverBest Group building and the Shepard family’s financing had been disrupted, presumably the Shepard family was waiting for lan to make a move.
Carol couldn’t help but say it angrily.
“That damn lan! We’ve come this far; if he easily disrupts your plans, don’t go easy on him in the future!”
Maja’s fingers suddenly tightened. “I will avenge my father’s death.”
On the other side, Carlene was indeed waiting for lan to make a move.
The Shepard family’s stock is still falling; if this continues, the stock will be suspended in less than a week.
There were about twenty people from the Shepard family sitting on the sofas in the hall, all visibly anxious.
“Carlene, didn’t you say lan would do something?”
“It’s been a day; why hasn’t he done anything?”
“It should be easy for him to solve this.”

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....
