Chapter 558


    hit me anymore, it really hurts!”


    The bodyguard asked again, “After the incident, did you cremate the body?”


    “Yes, yes! My brother suffocated her with a pillow, we held down her limbs together, my dad also


    choked her neck, but she was wearing a cored shirt, so there were no visible marks. We quickly


    cremated the body. Now, my grandparents keep pushing my dad to marry that woman, and when


    they do, those two houses will be ours. My brother and I will each get one.”


    No one would know such cruel events existed in this world if they didn’t hear it for themselves.


    And there was still no evidence. Law is all about evidence. The most crucial evidence had already


    been cleaned up. So even if that family was disgusting, they wouldn’t face any punishment.


    Maja didn’t want to stay here anymore, feeling the air had be filthy.


    Back in the car, she felt like throwing up. Zoey, who came out with her, was also pale. As women,


    they could truly understand the cruelty and despair of such a case. Zoey vomited, the loss of


    humanity was unbearable.


    Back in the car, Maja signaled the bodyguard to drive the two away. The car stopped outside


    Rosewood Manor, and Maja looked a bit off, taking a deep sigh.


    “Ms. Pennyfeather, are we really just going to let it go like this? nning on paying them off


    tomorrow?”


    Even if it’s a few hundred thousand, it’s a big win for Ferris.


    “Give them a million for now, I’ll figure out the restter. No rush.”


    The next morning, Ferris indeed came early to thepany demanding money, with the same


    arrogant face.


    “Maja, if you don’t give me the money, I’ll keep handing out flyers around the Pennyfeather family


    Maja frowned, instructing her staff to prepare a contract, her tone indifferent.


    Many


    “I’m giving you a million today. After you get the money, you’re not allowed to spread this matter in any


    way, on any tform. We’ll settle with this million.”


    “You think that million is charity? That was a life, is that all a life is worth to you?”


    Maja stood up, her palm mming the table, “Do I need to repeat the crime scene that day? You and


    your mistress were caught by May, you ganged up and killed her. You choked her, your son suffocated


    her with a pillow, and others held her down. Ferris, if you keep messing with me, you won’t even get


    this million!”


    Hearing this, Ferris’s face changed. There were only a few people on the scene, and they agreed to


    keep it a secret. Who dared to leak it? He started to worry, signed the contract quickly, took the


    million–dor check, and left.


    Sitting in her office chair, Maja still felt sick to her stomach. Ferris, on the other hand, felt light–hearted,


    having just earned a million by endangering an innocent woman’s life. Now that May was dead and he


    had the money, wasn’t it time to enjoy life?


    After he left, Maja called herpany’s staff.


    “You can start the operation. Make sure that woman knows that this is a very profitable business, and


    ensure she gets some benefits initially.”


    The woman she was talking about was Ferris‘ mistress. She had looked up that woman’s information.


    She liked gambling and had won a few million in the past few years, which was how she got two


    houses. But the rest of her money came from leeching off other women’s husbands.


    Her style was both tacky and seductive, and men over thirty just loved this type. She was easy to


    pursue, experienced, and everyone was willing to spend some money on her.


    Her rtionship with Ferrissted the longest, and she had some genuine feelings for him.


    Since she loved gambling, Maja decided to let her enjoy the thrill of it this time.


    After arranging that, Maja felt a bit of her anger subsiding. As a woman, it was hard for her to sleep


    after hearing such a thing. She hoped Ferris and his family would be punished soon. But in real life,


    those unscrupulous people often lived the best lives. If it wasn’t for her settling ounts with Ferris, he


    would have escaped thew this time.


    Next, Maja kept an eye on this matter while dealing with the Pennyfeather group’s transition.


    A month passed in the blink of an eye.


    Her hand was healed, andn had been discharged from the hospital, but he didn’t contact her. Maja


    felt a lot lighter.

    But asionally at night, thinking back on their intimate moments, she would feel her body heating up.


    Who wouldn’t miss a man liken?


    him feel suffocated.
