Chapter 684


    Maja didn’t want to say another word. Whatever Feynman and Jean wanted to regret or resent, that


    was their business. Jean’s uncontroble sobbing echoed from behind her. But Erlinda was already


    gone, and crying wouldn’t change that. Jean helped Feynman into the house, and they both looked like


    they had aged years in just a few moments.


    She sshed some cold water on Feynman’s face to help him sober up.


    For the first time ever, they were silent, with no words spoken between them.


    The next day, they seemed to have regained a little energy, but they were still shell–shocked by the


    events of the previous day. “That Penny might just be blowing smoke.”


    “Erlinda always treated us with respect.”


    Their conversations were t and no one wanted to take the me for their daughter’s death..


    Until Nn called saying none of the three scripts were selected.


    “I know you’re hurting, but I’m sorry about this.”


    Feynman’s grip on the phone tightened. Remembering the tape he had heard, he wished he could tear


    Nn apart!


    But this was Nn, they couldn’t fight Nn.


    And the tape couldn’t be made public, or Erlinda’s death would be a huge scandal.


    Now Feynman had made this whole situation public, and with the truth added in, many would probably


    say Erlinda was the seducer. Society was harsh on women.


    Erlinda was already gone, the couple didn’t want her to be talked about like that. They just wanted her


    to rest in peace.


    Thinking of their daughter buying birth control pills alone, they were filled with regret.


    It was all this shameless man!


    This rotten teacher!


    “Professor Smith, since Erlinda’s scripts weren’t chosen, give them back to us.”


    Now that he had the scripts, Nn didn’t want to waste any more time with this foolish couple.


    “The investors took the scripts; they get many every day and it’s hard to find them. I’ll return them


    when I find them.”


    These were just excuses; he was just brushing them off.


    Jean finally lost her temper and started yelling.


    “You beast! I’ll take you down with me.”


    But Feynman had already hung up the phone before she lost her cool.


    Jean looked at her helpless husband, her heart filled with sorrow.


    Meanwhile, Maja had made several backups of the scripts and applied for copyrights.


    She found out that all three scripts were sold to Funfly for nearly ten million.


    Maja also told Meetman that the funds and crew were ready, and they could start filming anytime.


    But Funfly was just starting to prepare.


    A smirk formed on her lips. Simstar Entertainment was good at making a buzz, so they didn’t need to


    go out to look for the script which Simstar would film first, they could just look at the trending topics.


    Thus, they found out that they would be filming The Storm first.


    So Maja called Meetman.


    “We’ll film The Storm first and try to air it while we’re still filming. This way we can. beat Simstar


    Entertainment before they even get started.”


    However, all the trending topics and ads that Simstar Entertainment bought for The Storm would end


    up benefiting S.M.


    Thinking of Nn and Funfly’s outraged faces when they find out the truth, Maja couldn’t help but


    smirk.


    All they had to do now was wait for the web drama to air. But she didn’t want to sit idle, so she posted


    an anonymous post online hinting that Nn stole a student’s work and imed it as his own without


    paying the student anything for it.


    This was linked to Erlinda’s suicide, so it immediately attracted a lot of attention and quickly rose to the


    second spot on the trending topics.


    The first spot was obviously still Erlinda’s suicide.


    When Nn saw the trending topic, he was scared out of his wits.


    He immediately called Funfly, asking her to take down the trending topic.


    But then he received a recording on his phone.


    Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    It was too familiar. It was the event that took ce in his office that day.


    He had deeply insulted Erlinda and even took a few minutes to vent his feelings.


    It was sent from an unknown number.


    And a message was sent to him.


    ”


    [If Professor Smith asks to take down the trending topic, this recording will be released immediately.


    The recording was enough to ruin him, he would never be able to recover his reputation.


    Was it Penny?!


    Only he, Erlinda, and Penny were in the office that day.


    Erlinda couldn’t have recorded it, it had to be Penny!


    Nn couldn’t sleep, he had to deal with Penny before the recording was released!


    She was just a small fry.


    Maja had a party that night, thest time she would see Judson from Silverstone Enterprises. The


    renovations at Greenfield Gardens wereplete, and they needed to have a ceremonial dinner,


    She was familiar with Judson, and the dinner went smoothly.


    She had a few drinks and stumbled into the hotel elevator.


    But soon three men entered that elevator. They were dressed in suits, but the attire didn’t suit them.


    Maja sensed danger and tried to press the elevator button, but the men suddenly grabbed her and


    pinned her against the wall.


    Someone even started to take off her pants and had a phone ready to take pictures of her.
