Female Novel
Chapter 1652
Tyler knew he couldn't keep the charade up any longer, so he just shrugged nonchalantly.
"Ah, it's the same old story. Carol fell for a broke guy, not knowing he had her all figured out, and has been playing the longgame. Carol brought him into her company, and next thing you know, Felix has taken over the joint and even managed to get herold man sent to the slammer."
He swallowed hard, the mole on the bridge of his nose lending him an air of unintentional charm.
"The real kicker isn't even that, though. Felix had been engaged to this girl since they were in diapers, a gal named Listina. Shegot diagnosed with a brain tumor, and Felix played the sympathy card in front of Carol. Carol, being the good sport, flew in thebest doctors from all over, clueless that she was treating his fiancée. Those two played Carol like a fiddle. Now, Felix is gettinghitched to Listina, and for Carol, it feels like a stab in her back, don't you think?"
Maja's expression darkened. She was about to whip out her phone when Tyler gently pressed her hand down.
"You call her, she's not gonna want to spill the beans. And let's be real, no one can touch Felix now. The guy's clever. He'ssnagged all of Carol and Ms. Miller's shares, over sixty percent, giving him the final say. Even if we wanted to buy out thecompany to back Carol up, it's a no-go. Plus, with the legal stuff, a simple letter of forgiveness from Felix, and Abner might get afew years shaved off his sentence. Carol's tied to him. Stubborn as she is, she won't cut ties without that letter."
Suddenly, Maja felt a pang of regret for not keeping up with the Greenfield gossip. She had always had a hunch about Felix, butCarol had been so smitten that she even hid her heiress status just to keep his ego intact.
And now, it had blown up in her face.
She had to make a trip to Greenfield.
Even though she wasn't calling Carol right away, she needed to book a flight home.Seeing her browse through flight schedules, Tyler leaned in curiously.
“Look, going to Greenfield won't help. Once you get all the dirty details, you'll just be more upset. Maja, | shouldn't have spilledthe beans to you. Focus on your pregnancy. When your kid's born, I'm claiming godfather rights."
Maja shoved his head away, silently continuing her search for flights.
Ata loss, Tyler turned to Fitch, who was standing with arms crossed and with a furrowed brow, pondering the consequences ifMaja went back to Greenfield...
His thoughts were interrupted by his phone ringing. It was a call from back home.Pressing the answer button, he was greeted by the panicked voice of a servant."Mr. Haskins, it's terrible, Mia's attempted suicide!"
Fitch stood up abruptly, his face a mask of concern. "Suicide? Why on earth would she do that?”
The servant's voice was jittery andsporadic, "Mr. Haskins, it seems Zoeyshared a conversati paretweeh Her!ang Miss Mia Wr the group. Itincluded some personal stuff aboutMiss Mia, and now it's all over thesocial circles. She saw the messagesand slit her wrists." Please read theoriginal content at NovelDrama.Org.

And in that moment, Maja chimed in, "I'm going too."
