Chapter 637
Meetman’s eyes were bloodshot from rage.
Maja, holding the contract, stood up and said, “Meetman, never forget the insult Harden threw at you.”
“How could I forget!” Meetman got so worked up that he started coughing.
Maja looked around; her nostrils filled with the smell of booze..
“Before you plan your revenge, clean yourself up first. And stop drinking, it’s messing with your judgement.” “I get it.”
Meetman’s face turned red from the coughing. His life used to be pretty good before the false accusations. Now, hiding in that grungy alley, even afraid to venture into the main streets for fear of being spotted by Harden’s people, what’s the point of living? Other than drowning his sorrows in alcohol, he didn’t know what else to do.
Maja scribbled down her number, her eyes firm.
“I’ll let you know what to do next.”
With that, Maja left.
Meetman was stunned for a few seconds, then packed his stuff and followed them,
Stepping out of the alley; Maja finally got a breath of fresh air.
Cheap perfume, garbage, and alcohol lingered in the alley. Had she not seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn’t have known such a place existed in Greenfield. Zoey drove Maja and Meetman away.
On the way home, Maja’s phone rang. It was from the hospital, saying Laura had woken up and the police had taken her statement, asking how she wanted to handle it.
“I’m not for settling this out of court. Do what needs to be done.”
After hanging up, Harden called again.
“Ms. Pénnyfeather, do you really not care about Neil’s ashes? Are you not afraid I’ll mix them with pig feed and feed it to the pigs?”
Maja’s fingers trembled, and then she chuckled, “Ms. Dickens, you said it yourself, I’m not Neil’s daughter. Why would I care about his ashes? You should’ve figured out by now what kind of person I am.”
Harden was taken aback. Maja really didn’t care about Neil’s ashes?
Neil’s ashes were the only card she had left. If Maja didn’t even care about that, what else could she use to threaten her?
Harden was fuming, gritting her teeth while Laura’s parents kept on threatening.
“If Laura is convicted, your photos with your assistant will be leaked. So, you better find a way to get Laura out.”
Harden once brought her lover to the Tuttle family party and got photographed.
She took a deep breath, and said again to Maja on the other end of the phone, “Ms. Penny feather, can we meet and talk?”
Maja flatly refused.
She wanted Harden to panic. The more panicked she was, the more likely she would slip up.
Seeing that she was hung up on, Harden slammed her hand on the table in fury,
“That bitch!”
Half an hour later, Maja brought Meetman to Rosewood Manor and showed him a tiny device the size of a fingernail.
Meetman had cleaned himself up by then and had shaved off his beard.
He had a long cut on his chin, probably got distracted while shaving.
“This is a bug. Modern tech is pretty advanced, it can be implanted into your arm, so we need to take you in for surgery.”
Harden was very cautious, it was hard to get any information out of her, and Maja didn’t want to expose herself.
Meetman took the bug.
Maja continued, “I’ll be putting some pressure on Harden soon. I still have some unfinished business with her. You can take this opportunity to show your face to her, let her know that you haven’t given up and are still seeking help. She’ll definitely reach out to you again. But Meetman, you need to be prepared. You might get beat up, but during all that, you must get Harden to confess to everything she’s done. Then you can release the recording yourself. It’ll have a much bigger impact than anything else.”
After all, Meetman–was the victim.
Meetman’s hand was trembling slightly. He took a small knife from the side, slit open his arm, and shoved the chip in. His face was pale as a sheet.

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....
