Chapter 205


    The car slowly drove off.


    Jeff, sitting in the car, was the one who could most directly feeln’s mood swings.


    The frosty atmosphere had gradually dissipated.


    He breathed a sigh of relief. There had been some bold women who tried to approachn before, but


    they disappeared quickly.


    The woman from this morning was also brave, trying to approach him multiple times.


    Thank God the boss’s mood had improved, or the higher–ups at the Raymond Corporation might have


    been in for another punishment.


    And Maja stood there, waiting forn’s car to be out of sight before she bent down to look at Coco.


    She’d had Coco for many years, and while it was indeed a crowd–pleaser, it had never shown such


    enthusiasm before. Only forn, wagging its tail like it was going to break it off at their first meeting.

    Maja cupped Coco’s face, gently rubbing it.


    Could it be that Coco was simply drawn ton’s good looks?


    On that point, Maja couldn’t argue.


    Becausen’s appearance was something she had wanted to paint countless times


    She lightly tapped Coco’s head with her fingertips.


    “Never knew you had a thing for hot guys.”


    After taking Coco for a walk, Maja bumped into Selena who came over for a house check.


    Selena seemed very worried about something happening betweenn and Maja. She first went


    upstairs to see if Maja was still staying in the room farthest fromn’s master bedroom before she felt


    relieved.


    “I heard Holden sent you another gift?”


    Holden’s punishment seemed to be public knowledge. Almost everyone in the Raymond family knew


    about it.


    But none of them took the initiative to contact Maja,n’s wife in name, to tell her about it. It was clear


    how marginal Maja’s position was in the Raymond family.


    At first, Selena couldn’t believe her son was having an affair, then she was delighted


    She didn’t like Carlene either. She felt the Shepard family wasn’t good enough for the Raymond family.


    But aftern married Maja, he left home for three years.n rarely even called her.


    Selena had already lost one son. She didn’t want any more conflicts with this younger one, so she


    epted Carlene.


    So she kept warning Maja not to have any other ideas.


    But now that there were other women in the picture, Selena was even happier.


    If her son wasn’t dead set on Carlene, she had plenty of other options.


    There were so many well–off socialites who were much better than Maja.


    When Maja saw Selena in the living room, she was d she had already taken Coco back to the back


    room.


    Selena came over to show off, asionally reminding Maja not to forget her ce. So when she saw


    that Maja wasn’t doing anything, she left.


    As she left, she left ament.


    n could never like you. Even if you did manage to get close to him one day, he wouldn’t give you a


    second nce. The Pennyfeathers aren’t good enough to give me grandchildren.”


    Maja stood there without refuting a single word.


    Seeing her like this gave Selena no satisfaction, but a sense of suppression.


    After scolding her a few times, she left with a cold snort.


    As soon as she left, Maria came out from the side, sighing for a while.


    “Ms. Pennyfeather, should I tell my father? Selena’s constant behavior must be making you


    ufortable.”


    “Maria, there’s no need.”


    She didn’t actually want to stay in the Raymond family, so she didn’t feel ufortable.


    When she got back upstairs, Maja thought her day was over. But in the evening, Neil called.


    Her instinct was to not answer, but she had to because of her father’s illness.


    “Dad.”


    “Maja, one of your mother and I’s ssmates came to our house. He said he had something to discuss


    with you,e over and talk to him. We might work with hispany in the future.”


    Specifically looking for her?


    Her parents‘ ssmate?


    If it was a work thing, there was no need to go to the Penny feather family.


    When Maja entered the living room, she saw Silver sitting across from Neil.


    Her face immediately darkened.


    1/2


    Silverughed when he saw her.


    “What a surprise, you’re the daughter of my old ssmate.


    Maja saw a pile of gifts on the coffee table. The most conspicuous was a piece of ancient painting,


    estimated to be worth about 30 million. And it was the original painting Neil had been looking for.


    Neil looked like he and Silver had been chatting for a while. When he saw here back, he signaled


    her toe over.


    “Maja,e say hi to Mr. Cames.”
