Chapter 601


    She felt a wave of difort, thinking, “What’s this got to do with you?”


    (Yes, very warm, Mr. Raymond. Good night.]


    After Maja sent the message, she switched off her mobile and returned straight to Rosewood Manor.


    Despite losing two hours, she slept well in the master bedroom.


    The next morning.


    Maja went to the office, and after handling the morning’s work, she called Holden.


    Holden was still in the hospital. Seeing her call, his eyes shone with relief.


    “Maja.”


    He coughed twice after saying her name.


    Maja quickly apologized, “Grandpa Holden, I’m sorry.”


    She had previously given the old man hope of holding a great–grandson soon, only for her to divorce.


    “You shouldn’t be the one apologizing. I’ll have the butler send you a checkter aspensation.


    ept it.”

    “Grandpa Holden, I’ve taken enough from the Raymond family. Taking more would be too much.”


    Holden knew her character. In some ways, she was simr ton.


    He sighed, “Then when will we set a date for dinner? Haven join us. Let’s not act like enemies,


    okay?”


    “Okay.”


    After exchanging a few more pleasantries, she hung up and massaged her temples.


    At this point, Zoey said, “Mr. Pennyfeather, we’ve got news from Ferris. His current mistress has sold


    two houses, including Ferris himself, who’s mortgaged his house. They’re in debt for millions, and the


    loan sharks are expected to knock on their door today.”


    The news took Maja by surprise. It had only been three months, and they had already spent so much


    money.


    Zoey probably saw her confusion and exined.

    “The two houses the woman sold were shady. She started gambling. Initially, she’d bet a thousand,


    and we’d give her fifty thousand. But she roped Ferris in, and we lost two million to them. They were


    greedy, borrowed two million from loan sharks, hoping to make a big win.”


    But obviously, they lost the two million they won, and now owed two million to the loan sharks.


    Interest on interest, the principal of two million, and interest close to six million, loan sharks were


    terrifying.


    From now on, the family will be hounded by loan sharks, like rats crossing the street.


    “Zoey, no need to keep an eye on Ferris. Loan sharks are ruthless. They won’t have a good time.”


    Zoey nodded, cing the files for review in the afternoon on her desk.


    What Maja wanted most now was to develop Star Movie Group as soon as possible. Otherwise, she


    would not have the ability to investigate Neil’s biological daughter.


    In her busyness, shepletely forgot aboutn.


    In the evening, Carol came to see Maja, inviting her to dine together.


    Maja thought back to the events of the past few days and felt a bit embarrassed.


    After they sat down in Carol’s mansion, she came clean.


    She told Carol that the man wasn and added that the man she had had a feud with before was also


    Carol was speechless after hearing this.


    It took her a few minutes to respond, “So you andn have actually been together before? So, he was


    flirting with you this time?”


    But her sorrow was real then, so saying it was flirting wasn’t entirely right.


    Maja then exined the incident where she druggedn.


    Because there was so much happening, by the time she exined everything, an hour had passed.


    Carol had two drinks before she couldprehend all the information.


    “Seriously, you kept such an important thing from me! So what now, you two are divorced?”


    “Yep.”


    n still doesn’t know you’re his wife?”


    “Yep.”


    “He likes you? Otherwise, why would he sleep with you?”


    Maja furrowed her eyebrows and repeatedn’s exact words, “He said it was just because it was new.”


    “Oh, my God! This guy! He actually said something like that?!”


    This was not then she knew.


    Maja also felt wrong, picking up a ss of wine.


    “He said he likes me. I think he’s sick!”


    “Maja, if you agree to him, I’d cut ties with you instantly. When you hurt your hand, he chased away


    Phelps. If anything had happened to your hand, your life would have been ruined. What right does


    he have to say he likes you.”


    Maja downed the ss of wine in one go. This was the first time she had opened up about her


    troubles since Neil’s death.


    And it was aboutn’s disgraceful behaviour.


    “I won’t like him. You don’t know about him.”


    She fell silent at this point.


    Carol patted her shoulder, “I understand.n’s looks and background are great, it’s fine if he’s just a


    bedmate, but if you really fall for him, he’ll ruin you easily.”


    Maja didn’t want to talk about him anymore, “What about you? Is Felix’s cousin willing to have surgery?


    It’s been months. If she keeps this up, even the best specialist can’t save her.”


    Carol’s face fell, sighing.


    “Felix has been staying with her in the hospital these past few months. She’s very dependent on him,


    and the specialists are getting impatient. It cost me a lot to keep them. I guess they’ll have to make a


    decision within the next half month. She’s pretty pitiful. Anyway, I don’t need to go to the hospital to


    take care of her. Just pay more money.”
