Maja stood up, her tone cool as a cucumber, "Mr. Brown, we need more than her letter of understanding. We need yours too." "There's no way I'm giving you that." Felix locked eyes with hers, his gaze unfathomable, "It's never gonna happen." If he did, what would keep Carol around? She'd ditch him without hesitation, take Abner, and hit the road.

Maja's eyes narrowed, a hint of mockery in her voice, "Mr. Brown, you're so smitten with Listina. Aren't you afraid we'll take her out if you don't cough up the document?" "Ms. Pennyfeather, if you go down that road, Carol can kiss that document goodbye, and she'll lose everything the Miller family have. At least the Miller nhasn't been swapped for Brown. Even if President Miller kicks the bucket, he'll have something to show for himself in the afterlife. Don't you agree?" His words were methodical, his tone even. The man had a core of steel. Maja glanced at Listina, who had her head held high again, looking smug as a cat with cream.
Raising an eyebrow, she called out, "Cornelia." Cornelia, ever so astute, stepped forward and slapped Listina a couple of more times.
Listina was stunned, disbelief clear on her face. Even with Felix here, they dared to lay hands on her.
"Felix, Felix." Felix didn't spare her a glance but continued, "Listina, give them the document." Listina bit her lips hard. At that moment, she finally understood she was nothing to these people. They could snuff her out as easily as stepping on an ant.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIf she didn't comply, she might really end up dead, beyond Felix's help. Her lips trembling, she clung to his sleeve desperately, "I'll do it; I'll do it. Please, just getout of here." Felix helped her to her feet, turning to Maja.
"Ms. Pennyfeather, I'll be taking her back now." Getting Listina to offer the document was his concession. If it cdown to a life-and-death struggle, he'd strip off the hollow et shell that was the Miller Group without a second thought, and Abner behind bars surely wouldn't want to witness that. Maja had to consider Abner's position, as well as Carol's. She raised her hand to massage her temple, when she noticed hands already there, easing her tension.
lan's voice was soft, "Carol needs that document in his possession. Getting rough with Listina is pointless. Felix is off his rocker; I bet he'd never let it go, not until the bitter end.” "Has he fallen for Carol or something?" Otherwise, it made no sense why he'd refuse to release the document, even planning on marrying Carol. It all seemed a bit batty. "Who knows what goes on in that man's head? It's buried deep." After finishing his thought, lan moved behind her, beginning to massage her shoulders.
"Alright, forget about them for now. You've slapped and kicked her enough today. Listina looks genuinely scared. You should focus on taking care of yourself. Let's get you checked out this afternoon." Maja nodded, stifling a yawn, the fatigue setting in. Seeing this, Cornelia quickly excused herself with good sense.
In the departing car, Listina was sobbing in the passenger seat, "They're too much, just too much! Felix, my face is all swollen. It really hurts." Felix watched the road ahead in silence, only speaking as the car halted at her villa's front gate. He gripped the steering wheel tight, "You're staying put at home, not stepping foot outside. You can't handle those people." met That was precisely why Listina felt so indignant. Why should she be the one to suffer? “Also, about last night, I don't want a repeat. So, for the next couple of months, you're better off staying inside.” "Felix, don't you care aboutanymore? Your wedding is just about a week away. You're tellingto stay cooped up while I just let you marry her? I'd rather die! l'Igo bash my head in or slit my wrists! I don't want to live anymore! mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fifl0&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflo&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliI0fifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflo&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflo&1 mmMwWLliI0fifl0&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLlilofiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
