Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

Chapter 557

She locked eyes with them, her gaze sharp as a knife, “Go ahead, let’s see who really gets the short end of the stick

when this all comes out in the wash.” With that, she turned on her heel and left.

Ferris‘ voice drifted after her, “You see that, officers? Maja’s got some nerve, acting like she’s above the law.”

Even though Maja had presented evidence of Ferris’s extramarital affair, it only painted him in an immoral light, not

a criminal one. The cops couldn’t do much about that even if they wanted to.

Maja slid into the passenger seat of the car, where Zoey was sitting.

Even outside the car, Zoey could still hear Ferris’s voice.

“Ms. Pennyfeather, what’s our next move? Ferris isn’t letting up on making this a big deal online.”

Maja leaned back in her seat, already drained and now having to deal with that.

“We’re stuck. Even if we find evidence of Ferris‘ domestic abuse, with May refusing to press charges, it’s basically

just ‘marital issues‘.”

Zoey, though an outsider, was left speechless with anger! After a while, she asked, “So if Ferris actually killed May,

not only would he not be convicted, but he’d also get a payout from us?”

Maja nodded, and heard her angrily say, “What a world we live in!”

Maja stared at the car ceiling, “That’s why women need to be careful when choosing their spouse. It’s the only time

you get to choose your family, and this person might one day be the one signing your hospital papers or

downplaying their abuse of you. I tried to warn May, but she’d gotten so used to Ferris’s violence that she never

considered divorce, always keeping her nose to the grindstone to support the family.”

“Ms. Pennyfeather, that Ferris is no good. With the money he’s getting from you, I bet he’s keeping other women.

How much did he ask for?”

“Ten million.”

Most people bust their humps their whole lives and never see that kind of money. Ferris had already milked the

Pennyfeather family to pay his mortgage. With another ten million, he’d be living high on the hog.

“Zoey, come with me somewhere tonight,” After saying that, Maja called Carol Miller and borrowed a few

bodyguards. The Miller family’s guards were reliable and professional, ready to jump in when the chips were down.

Maja had the guards bring Ferris‘ two sons. If Ferris had indeed done something to May that led to her death, those

two who were always at home would know The cops didn’t have the evidence to act, but Maja couldn’t sit on her

hands any longer. Even considering May never spilled the beans about the Pennyfeathers to Ferris during all her

years working for the Pennyfeather group, Maja owed her some justice.

Half an hour later, the two brothers who had planned to hit the internet cafe were taken by Miller’s were scared out

of their wits.

Maja gestured for the guards to split the brothers up for questioning.

“How did your mother die? If you don’t spill it, I’m going to kill you right here.”

The question only ramped up his fear. He curled up into a ball, shaking uncontrollably,

The bodyguard pulled out a dagger and slowly began to pierce the boy’s foot.

“Ah! It hurts! Please, I don’t know anything!”

The next second, another dagger found his leg, slowly penetrating.

After half an hour of torture, the boy was barely hanging on.

“I’ll talk, I’ll talk!”

The room suddenly fell silent. The boy was so scared he was about to pass out.

“One day, my dad brought a woman home. Everyone in the family knew about her except my mom. She was

loaded, giving me and my brother allowance every month. Rumor had it she owned two apartments downtown. My

grandparents drooled over her wealth and kept pushing my dad to divorce. But my dad thought that despite her

money, she was a spendthrift, unlike my frugal mom, so the divorce kept getting postponed. He brought the woman

home to talk to my mom about divorce. But my mom caught them in bed together and threatened to make a

scene at my dad’s office.

My dad panicked. He’d worked hard for over 20 years to get his current salary. We all tried to talk my mom down,

even my grandparents berated her, but she was all set. My dad slapped her, and they started arguing. My dad

strangled her, and she was struggling. My brother and I helped our dad with the process.”

The whole family bullied a woman who had dedicated decades to them. Her husband and sons strangled her

together. Her in–laws watched, the mistress too. No one helped her.

No one knew how desperate May was at that moment.

Just hearing all that made Maja shiver. Those people were animals!

The little brother was still crying and curled up, “That’s th
