Chapter 377


    Maja was about to get in her car in the underground garage when she saw the car window next to her


    slide down, revealing Knox’s face.


    He wasn’t hiding his intentions anymore, directly pulling out a credit card.


    “A million dors for a hundred sexes. If you’re game, get in the car.”


    His face was so fat, it almost blocked the entire car window.


    Maja felt a wave of disgust at his words.


    But Knox just raised his eyebrows, looking smug as hell.


    “Before, Daniel mentioned you to me, saying that you were exceptionally beautiful. I had seen your


    photos back then, but I never expected you to look even more stunning in person. At that time, you


    were probably still a virgin, but now that might not be the case anymore. Virgins are the ones who can


    fetch a high price. I’m willing to offer you $10,000 each time; consider it a generous offer. Later, I’ll buy


    you a vi. The Pennyfeather family will be bankrupt in a month, so if you don’t agree, you might end


    up begging on the streets, my sweetheart.”


    Thest few words were quite sleazy!


    Many wealthy middle–aged men have an intense self–confidence. They seem to believe that they only


    need to throw a credit card, and women will eagerly flock to them. In the business world, the status of


    women is far lower than that of men, and this is indeed a fact.


    1


    A lot of people treat beautiful women as objects to please others. Over time, these men just get more


    and more arrogant.


    Maja took the card from him, then flung it back in his face.


    “You keep it, Mr. Knox. Even if ByteWise Technologies goes under, the Pennyfeather family won’t go


    bankrupt.”


    With that, she hopped in her car and gunned the engine.


    Knox’s face stung from the card p. He was stunned. No woman had ever dared to treat him like


    that.


    What a bitch!


    He smacked the dashboard, startling the driver,


    “Mr. Knox.”


    Knox sneered, “I’m going to show that woman what will happen when she pisses me off.”


    The driver didn’t say anything. People had turned Knox down before, but they were polite about it,


    scared of retaliation.


    But this Maja, she was bold enough to throw the card in Mr. Knox’s face. She was asking for trouble.


    “Drive!”


    “Uh, yes sir.”


    Knox stewed in his anger. Even at the club with a bunch ofpany bossester that night, he was


    still pissed.


    When Daniel first showed off her picture, he had been intrigued.


    Daniel had mentioned her name in business world was Penny, and she was a brilliant artist.


    Knox pushed the woman crawling all over him away.


    All the women in the room looked good, but none of them had the same appeal as Maja.


    He grunted, got up and went out for a smoke.


    As he was passing through the lobby, he saw a man helping a slightly drunk man past,


    The drunk man wasn’t particrly noticeable.


    He was bragging to the other guys.


    “I got my promotion all thanks to Penny. Bet you didn’t know, she’s my wife. No one else knows.”


    Everyone just thought he was talking nonsense because he was drunk.


    Penny was someone even thepany’s CEO had to tread lightly around, there’s no way she could be


    married to this nobody, Nathan.


    But his words caught Knox’s attention.


    A sinister glint shed in Knox’s eyes.


    After Nathan finished in the restroom, he was escorted out by a few bodyguards, taken straight out of


    there, and then roughed up.


    He kept begging for mercy, but he had no idea who was behind it.


    Not until the sack was pulled off his head and he saw the fat middle–aged man sitting in front of him.


    “You say Penny is your wife?”


    Nathan flinched, too scared to answer.


    He had just been boasting under the influence of alcohol. He’d only wanted to show off a bit, he never


    thought it wouldnd him in hot water.


    He couldn’t afford to cross this man, and he definitely couldn’t afford to cross Penny.


    Knox simply lit a cigar, a cold smile ying on his lips.


    “Call her. Tell her toe get you.”


    Nathan was usually a coward, but at that moment, he showed some backbone and didn’t make the


    call.


    The bodyguards stepped in and beat him again.


    When Maja returned to the Pennyfeather family’s vi, she was astonished to find Neil already there.


    She wondered if she had mistaken something.


    Before Neil, there was a pile of documents spread out, and he had a head full of white hair, indicating


    that he had just awakened. He hadn’t informed Maja and had managed to discharge himself from the


    hospital with great difficulty. The hospital had done everything possible to convince him to stay, but


    they hadn’t disclosed that he was suffering from advanced liver cancer.


    Neil appeared to have aged ten years; his eyesight had deteriorated rapidly over the past few days,


    and he now needed sses to read the words clearly on the contracts. Seeing him like this, Maja felt a


    pang of heartache. Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.


    As he read a few lines, he would cough a few times, clearly struggling. He was reviewing the contract


    between thepany and ByteWise Technologies, trying to find any loopholes. However, he had read


    it ten times already, and the Pennyfeather family’s debts were an unalterable reality.
