Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 343

Chapter 343 

She took a deep breath, hearing Glenn Pennyfeather wreaking havoc outside. 

Glenn had been in a foul mood these days, losing his temper over the smallest things. 

There hadn’t been a major clash between Maja and Carlene, and Glenn was on edge with Dana being shipped off abroad. 

Tricia didn’t give a damn about the Pennyfeather family’s future. She didn’t care how much of the inheritance she’d get. All she wanted was lan. Only with lan would her life be perfect. 

She pushed open the door and went outside. 

“Cool your jets, Glenn, Dana’s gone, and lan’s clearly siding with Maja, but we still have a shot.” 

“A shot at what! Tricia, you may not know this, but Neil was hospitalized after he found out Cristina Perkins and Carter Booth were having an affair. Once he wakes up, our whole family’s gonna hit rocky waters, Cristina’s shares will be reclaimed, and then the Pennyfeather family will be entirely Maja’s!” 

Tricia’s eyes widened in shock; she hadn’t known about Neil’s hospitalization. Her face turned sour. 

Glenn took a deep breath. 

“We’re running out of time. I thought lan would divorce Maja immediately to protect Carlene. I could’ve made Maja’s life a living hell, and Holden Raymond wouldn’t have said a word. Cristina would’ve tried to keep Neil unconscious, and the Pennyfeather family’s company would’ve been ours.” 

“But as you can see, Maja hired two bodyguards, and Cristina hasn’t succeeded yet. Now, even Carter’s in the hospital, and I’m starting to wonder if someone found out about Cristina and Carter.” 

Tricia went pale. She didn’t want to go back to being poor! 

Taking a deep breath, she scoffed. 

“Our grandparents are already involved. Let them create a scene at the hospital, saying they want to see Neil. Those two bodyguards can’t handle rowdy old folks. If they hurt them, they won’t be able to afford the compensation.” 

Glenn chuckled. 

“Not a bad idea; at least we can keep Neil unconscious for now. To stay in the Pennyfeather family, he’s gonna have to take one for the team.” 

They didn’t care about Neil. 

Glenn was blind with rage. 

Tricia only had lan on her mind. 

To them, Neil was just an obstacle that could be sacrificed anytime. 

Somewhere in Greenfield. 

Abram Pennyfeather and Hattie Zimmer watched Ferris Pennyfeather walk in with excitement. 

“So, did the bank approve the loan?” 

Ferris Pennyfeather, Neil’s brother, had gone to a prestigious university. 

Back then, they were poor, and although Neil also got into university, their family could only afford Ferris Pennyfeather’s tuition. Even Neil, who was only a teenager, had to work part–time to pay for Ferris Pennyfeather’s education. 

Ferris was now forty–eight. A difficult age when he had to support both his parents and children and constantly feared being laid off. 

If he got fired, the monthly mortgage of three thousand dollars would suffocate his family. 

But a few days ago, his parents found Neil and got thirty thousand dollars from him. He heard Neil lived in a villa in Greenfield. 

A regular house in Greenfield cost between seven hundred thousand and eight hundred thousand dollars, and a villa in a less popular area was worth two million dollars. Plus, Neil had his own company. 

He’d been feeling down this month because the company was about to lay off employees, and was afraid he’d be on the list. 

He’d been working at this company for more than twenty years. His salary had risen to four thousand dollars a month from six hundred dollars a month. 

To make the down payment for the house, he and his wife had to sell the old house and land in the village. They barely scraped together enough money, using up all their savings. 

Luckily, his family never interfered with Neil’s life. Otherwise, Neil would’ve gotten a share of these assets. 

Just when Ferris Pennyfeather was anxious, his parents suddenly told him Neil was living in a villa in Greenfield. He was gobsmacked! 

He thought his parents were deceived. Neil didn’t even go to university. How could he afford a villa? 

It made him, a prestigious university graduate, feel embarrassed.
