Maja’s face was as blank as a sheet of paper. She walked over, picked up the painting on the table,
and said nonchalantly, “Is this a gift from Mr. Carnes?” Silver looked smug. His company was bigger
than the Pennyfeathers. And the Penny feathers had just finished their second round of funding. He
had never thought about partnering with the Pennyfeathers before.
Silver still didn’t know about the alliance between the Pennyfeather and the Raymond families. Only a
few companies who were close with the Raymonds were in
the know.
And because Silver was so full of himself, he didn’t keep in touch with his old classmates.
With the heat from the police cranking up, he used his connections in the force to dig up some dirt on
Maja’s dad. He planned to use it as a threat.
But he didn’t expect her dad to be his old classmate. That made things way easier.
The Pennyfeathers made their fortune selling paint. Back in the day, Neil started from scratch. Silver’s
company was a renovation firm, the two companies could make a perfect match.
To show his sincerity, he brought an antique painting. He said he had a misunderstanding with Maja at
work.
Neil knew Maja was an interior designer. He thought it was just a minor hiccup in their working
relationship, so he accepted the painting with a smile.
“This is from me. I’ve got to show some respect when having reunion with an old classmate, right?
Penny, we’ve been working together for three years, and screwed up before. Let’s let bygones be
bygones, considering my good relationship with your dad.”
Maja looked at the painting. It was clear as day that Silver was trying to smooth over their previous spat
with 30 million bucks.
Maja had blocked him a long time ago, but who would have thought that Silver would find a way to get
back in her good graces.
Before she could say anything, Neil had already asked Cristina to pour Silver a cup of coffee.
“Maja, Mr. Carnes is right,” he said. “You’ve been working together for three years, you know each
other well. Misunderstandings can be sorted out. Let’s have a cup of coffee and forget about this after
tonight.”
Neil tried to get Maja to sit down, but she didn’t answer him.
“Dad, do you know what kind of misunderstanding Mr. Carnes and I had? You’re in such a hurry to
have me forgive him. 30 million. If he wanted to buy your daughter, would you be up for it?”
All the resentment she had been holding back burst out, and Maja’s voice had a sharp edge to it.
After all, wasn’t Neil’s alliance with the Raymond family basically selling off his daughter?
Neil’s face turned dark. On top of that, his meeting with his old classmate was ruined by his own
daughter, and there was no saving face.
A man’s pride is a big deal, especially for a businessman.
Neil was so angry he was about to slap her.
But Maja caught his wrist, stopping his hand from landing on her face.
“Dad, I’ve always cared about your health. I also thought you’d consider my feelings. But Silver broke
our contract before. After I found another company to partner with, he sent people to hurt me out of
spite. If someone hadn’t come to my rescue in time, do you think you’d be seeing me now? And yet you
still want me to forgive him. Just because of a painting worth 30 million?”
As she spoke, Maja was on the verge of tears.
But she kept her cool. She looked at Neil, slowly let go of his hand.
“Dad, the doctor said you can’t get too worked up. I thought I was here to meet mom’s friends tonight. I
didn’t expect it to be about this. You don’t need to tell me Silver is mom’s old classmate anymore. If
mom knew what I’ve been through, she’d be furious. In her eyes, no relationship could be used as an
excuse to hurt her daughter. If she were here, she wouldn’t let anyone hurt me.”
She took a deep breath, put down the antique painting.
“I don’t have anything else to say. You’ve let me down for way too many times. I have work tomorrow,
so I won’t bother you anymore.”
Just as Maja was about to leave, Cristina, who was pouring coffee, spoke up.
“How can you talk to your dad like that? Since Mr. Carnes is here, it means that incident didn’t happen.
Can’t you just talk it out?”
Maja gave a cold laugh, didn’t answer, and walked straight out. Cristina rolled her eyes and put a cup
of coffee in Neil’s hand.
Neil was visibly pissed and threw the cup out of his hand.
“So you think what happened to my daughter is no big deal?”
Neil glared at him, picked up something from the table and threw it straight at Silver’s face.
If he knew it would turn out like this, he wouldn’t have let Silver in the door.
“Get out!”
“You…”
“Get out!”
Silver’s face changed, and he didn’t stick around.
After Silver left, Neil was shaking with anger.
Cristina also felt uneasy. She was too smug just now and wanted to fan the flames between Maja and
Neil. But she forgot that Neil still cared a lot about his daughter.
1/2
Now
her actions had backfired.
And that
was definitely
After this,
not a good thing.
Neil would probably feel even more guilty about Maja.
