Chapter 107
Samuel was a bit flustered, his voice softer than usual.
“Penny, are you scared? Hang on, I’ll take you to the hospital for a check up. You look a bit off, need
me to pick up some meds for you?”
“I’m okay.”
Samuel’s care was hard to refuse, and Maja felt bad turning him down.
Since they’d reached an understanding, Samuel wouldn’t go after her anymore and would keep her
secret.
The elevator door opened, and Maja was the first one out. Ian followed closely, not stopping as he
passed Samuel.
Samuel sidesteppedn to catch up with Maja, “Look at you, you’re as pale as a ghost, how could you
say you’re okay.”
Maja managed a weak smile, puzzled by Samuel’s sudden concern.
Tyler pattedn on the shoulder, “Man, that scared the hell out of me. The elevator’s been fine for
years, and it decides to act up tonight. Let’s go, we’ll take the other lift down.”
After saying that, he turned to Maja, “Ms. Penny, d you’re okay.”
“Thanks for your concern, I’m fine.” Maja nodded politely.
They got into another elevator, and Samuel started talking to cheer Maja up.
“I’ve cut ties with Silver. He mighte looking for you.”
But Maja had decided not to work with Silver anymore. If he found a new partner and told her why, she
wouldn’t fuss over it.
After all, she knew the rules of the business world: survival of the fittest.
Only now did she realize Silver’s true colors. He not only wanted to seize the opportunity from
EliteEdge Consortium but also avoided her and kept her in the dark about the truth.
“Mm, I won’t work with Silver either. I’ll find anotherpany to work with.
The elevator stopped at the first floor, and Maja, in a rush to get to the hospital, didn’t chat with
Samuel.
She nodded politely to the others in the lift, then walked briskly out of the lobby, got into a car and
disappeared.
Samuel waved ton and left as well.
Onlyn and Tyler remained. As for Fitch, he had been called away by a phone call from home when
he heard about Mia’s death.
Tyler couldn’t help but ask, “So you two were alone in that dimly lit elevator. Nothing happened, huh?”
“Penny hides her feelings well. The more she likes someone, the more she hides it. She won’t confess
to you until you show her that you like her.”
Seeing his doubt, Tyler started to let his writer’s imagination run wild.
“That’s why I think she’s very unique. She doesn’t want to get hurt, so she won’t reveal her

weaknesses to you until she feels your attitude soften. She wouldn’t hesitate to hand over her wealth to
you. If she didn’t like you, I’d call bullshit. Plus, you’ve been rather cold to her. In the situation just now,
any other guy would’ve held her close and called her darling in a soft voice. Look at Samuel, he was
freaking out.”
Tyler thought he didn’t believe him and gave a small smile. “You said she’s married. Have you ever met
her husband? If she really had a husband, she wouldn’t be dining with Samuel My guess is she knew
you’d be here tonight, that’s why she agreed toe with Samuel. After all, this isn’t a ce just
anyone can get into.”
Just as he finished, a woman’s voice came from the side. “Mr. Raymond…”
Tricia’s cheeks turned red with nervousness. Her hands were fidgeting, and she couldn’t bring herself
to meetn’s gaze.
emotional agitation could cause her to have difficulty breathing.
“I’m Tricia, I’ve been waiting here for you for a while.”
Someone from the Pennyfeather family?
“I came especially to find you about the Pennyfeather family’s matter.”
After finishing her sentence, Tricia’s gazended on his face, her cheeks turning even redder with
