Chapter 580
Maja Pennyfeather turned and walked into Rosewood Manor
Selena Casson’s stops faltored, and if it weren’t for the servant beside her, she might have fainted
night there.
After getting in the cat, she couldn’t resist calling lan Raymond.
However, lan was showering at the hotel and didn’t answer
Selena lost control of her emotions in the car, cursing Lillian and Maja one after another
Inside Rosewood Manor, Maja sat calmly at the dining table.
Maria offered her a cup of anti–inflammatory tea.
“Ms. Pennyfeather, don’t sweat It; even if you divorce Mr. Raymond, I’ll still stick around to take care of
you”
Maja’s eyelashes fluttered slightly as she lowered her head to pick up the cup of tea and took a sip.
Maria let out a sigh.
“Selena and the old lady are so hard on you; even if Mr. Raymond is top–notch, you’d only feel
miserable in this family. If you were my granddaughter, 1 woddet want you in this mess. The divorcemight be a blessing in disguise, this mansion is your property, a gift from Holden Raymond before your
marriage, no one can take it away.”
Maja was grateful to Holden, even if the rest of the Raymond family didn’t like her, Holden genuinely
cared for her
“Maria, thank you.”
Maria sighed and sat beside her.
“Besides, after you divorce Mr. Raymond, he should be the one to move out. You won’t have to keep
Coco cooped up in that small room anymore. Every time I walk him, I worry Mr. Raymond might come
back. We can live well from now on.”
Maria didn’t know about Neil Pennyfeather’s death; Maja hadn’t told anyone, and the funeral was low–
key,
Although there were some news reports about the car accident, the license plate and the name of the
deceased were censored,
She was going to bury her father tomorrow, and today she didn’t have the energy to argue with
anyone.
After dinner, she went to bed.
Carol Miller sent a text message.
“Are you okay?”
Carol and Maja had known each other for a long time, and she knew that Maja preferred to be alone
when she was hurting.
As a friend, all she needed to do was help when Maja needed it.
Maja’s eyes were sore, but she couldn’t fall asleep. She hadn’t had a good night’s sleep in days.
Carol sent another message.
“Didn’t Shawn Walsh sign with your company? His endorsement contract with the Miller family was
about to expire, but after a spat with my dad, we extended it for a year. I did it for your dignity; don’t get
too choked up.”
She was clearly trying to change the subject, not wanting Maja to dwell on the loss of her father.
As Maja’s friend, Carol hadn’t experienced Neil’s rags–to–riches journey with him, but it was
unforgettable.
Neil used to do well, always taking Maja with him.
Although his performance later wasn’t outstanding, he made the decision to leave the entire company
to Maja.
Even knowing Maja wasn’t his biological daughter, he was still willing to do so.
For this, Carol was very impressed.
Humans are complex creatures, and Neil’s mistakes led to his consequences.
He wasn’t a perfect person; there’s no such thing as a perfect person in this world.
“Carol, thank you.”
Maja owed Carol a lot.
Including this time, she went to the coast to find people for Greenfield; the Miller family helped in the
middle.
“Why thank me? My dad heard I was helping you and agreed without hesitation. He said I’ll have to
rely on you in the future, painted me as worthless, and said you’ll definitely make it big. I tell you, my
dad’s intuition is spot–on; your company might become the biggest film and TV company in the
country.”
Chatting with Carol, Maja’s nerves were temporarily soothed, and she even started joking with her.
“I’ll never forget your help.”
“At least you have a conscience,”
The two joked with each other, and then Maja finally fell asleep.
This was the only time she had slept in five days.
Carol saw no reply and guessed she had fallen asleep, so she put down her phone.
Maja slept till dawn, then quickly put on a black outfit and went to the Pennyfeather family’s mansion.
The mansion housed Neil’s ashes and some burial objects.

Chapter 580
Maja didn’t know what to prepare for his burial, but in Neil’s room, she found a hidden compartment
about one square meter large, which surprisingly contained some trinkets Lillian had given him.
These trinkets weren’t valuable; there were hand–woven bracelets, fans, and a few letters
Maja looked at the hand–woven fan, remembering when she was a child and all the kids around her
loved the flying dragonfly toys.
But her family was too poor at the time, every dollar had to be used where it was needed most.
She was sensible and didn’t dare say she wanted one.
But when she woke up, there was a dragonfly toy by her pillow.
It was made by Lillian, and it flew higher than everyone else’s.
People are always troubled by what they couldn’t have in the past, but this dragonfly filled her
spiritual world.
In fact, there were many such incidents. The class organized children to donate; some gave one dollar
or two dollars.
The teacher at the time didn’t care about the children’s self–esteem; those who didn’t donate were
named and severely criticized in front of the whole class.
Adults didn’t know that children’s self–esteem can be surprisingly strong; it could even affect their
future.
At the time, Maja didn’t dare tell Lillian about this because she knew her family had no money.
That day she didn’t dare go to school, afraid of being scolded by the teacher, but before leaving for
school, Lillian gave her a dollar.
“Maja, your mom heard the school is organizing a fundraiser, it’s all over the news; the earthquake
was really bad; take this money and donate it; it’s our little way of helping out.”
That day, Maja practically skipped to school, her short little legs moving so quickly they seemed to
barely touch the ground.
But what really stuck with her was what Lillian said.
“When you’re all grown up and have money of your own, remember to help others, Maja; you’re a good
kid.”
That day, the teacher showered her with praise; she no longer had to worry about getting scolded the
moment she walked into the classroom.
Now when Maja thought back on it, it was not that she was agreeing with the teacher, she just missednovelbin
Lillian again.
She neatly packed these keepsakes in the box, not daring to dwell in the past any longer because,
from now on, she really would be the only one left in the house.
