Chapter 373
The maid was a bit lost for words, not knowing what to say, so she decided to make some coffee.
Ferris came in today with his two sons, one 24 and the other 22. Both were of marriageable age, but
Ferris was under a lot of financial pressure, unable to afford two houses.
The older son had a girlfriend, but when she found out they couldn’t afford a house, she decided to call
it quits.
Nobody wants to squeeze into a tiny house with them, especially since they have two sons who aren’t
keen on renting because of the steep cost.
So, all six of them lived in Ferris’s little house.
Ferris’s wife had never had a job, and she hadn’t looked for one in years.
Ferris was extremely unhappy about this and often berated her. If things at work didn’t go well, he
would take it out on her when he got home.
Everyone saw it, but nobody stopped it because it was become the norm.
A woman taking care of two kids and two elderly people barely gets a day’s rest.
But everyone thinks the man who works outside and earns money is the main pillar of the family, the
hardest–working one. They think the woman who stays at home and takes care of the kids and the
elderly has it easy.
So, the wife has become an outlet for everyone’s frustrations at home.
Hattie took it out on her when she’s in a bad mood.
The two sons did the same when they were feeling down.
And Ferris himself is always laying hands on her.
Today, Ferris only brought his two sons, his pride and joy. As for his wife, she had become haggard. It
was not dignified to bring her out.
The Pennyfeather family’s mansion was so luxurious, leaving everyone speechless.
Ferris secretly vowed to live here, divorce his wife, and find a younger, prettier woman. Why would he
need his old wife once he’s moved into the mansion?
Ferris was daydreaming when Maja and a few bodyguards walked in..
Ferris quickly stood up.
“Is that Maja? You have grown so tall! By the way, did you meet the guy we set you up with? His family
owns a small factory, he’s good enough for you.”
Hattie chimed in.
“Yeah, that young man is quite handsome. Although he’s made mistakes in the past, he’s changed
now. All men make mistakes.”
“Maja, you’re in your twenties now. Around here, girls your age already have kids. If you wait a few
more years, till you’re thirty, who would want you then? Men are like wine, they get better with age.
Women are like flowers, they lose value over time. In the end, they’re just discarded.”
Maja wanted to laugh at these words.
What kind of mindset is this?
Upon seeing Maja’s lack of rebuttal, Ferris assumed she agreed and breathed a sigh of relief..
“Now, with your father hospitalized and no other male presence at home, this is Frank, and this is
Faiman. They are both your brothers. I intend to have one of them join your family, so we can become
a closely–knit family. Furthermore, all of us can work at The Pennyfeather Family’s company, living
harmoniously together as one happy unit. Isn’t the ultimate goal in life to pursue familial harmony?”
Ferris believed his words to be logical, but Hattie interjected, “Your two cousins have reached a
marriageable age. Considering your family’s wealth, you could offer them one million each to buy two
houses. They would surely appreciate such generosity.” novelbin
Hattie didn’t dare raise her voice in front of Maja.”
The incident at the hospital last time terrified her, especially since one of the bodyguards behind Maja
was the one who tried to throw her off the building.
At that moment, the maid brought the coffee and placed it on the table..
Maja got herself a cup of coffee, and Hattie thought it was for her, so she quickly reached for it..
“Good girl.”
But Maja lifted the coffee, took a sip, and looked at them indifferently.
“If you don’t take your luggage and leave within ten minutes, I’ll have the bodyguards throw it in the
trash.”
