Chapter 206

Maja’s face was as blank as a sheet of paper. She walked over, picked up the painting on the table, and said nonchalantly, “Is this a gift from Mr. Carnes?” Silver looked smug. His company was bigger than the Pennyfeathers. And the Penny feathers had just finished their second round of funding. He had never thought about partnering with the Pennyfeathers before.

Silver still didn’t know about the alliance between the Pennyfeather and the Raymond families. Only a few companies who were close with the Raymonds were in

the know.

And because Silver was so full of himself, he didn’t keep in touch with his old classmates.

With the heat from the police cranking up, he used his connections in the force to dig up some dirt on Maja’s dad. He planned to use it as a threat.

But he didn’t expect her dad to be his old classmate. That made things way easier.

The Pennyfeathers made their fortune selling paint. Back in the day, Neil started from scratch. Silver’s company was a renovation firm, the two companies could make a perfect match.

To show his sincerity, he brought an antique painting. He said he had a misunderstanding with Maja at work.

Neil knew Maja was an interior designer. He thought it was just a minor hiccup in their working relationship, so he accepted the painting with a smile.

“This is from me. I’ve got to show some respect when having reunion with an old classmate, right? Penny, we’ve been working together for three years, and screwed up before. Let’s let bygones be bygones, considering my good relationship with your dad.”

Maja looked at the painting. It was clear as day that Silver was trying to smooth over their previous spat with 30 million bucks.

Maja had blocked him a long time ago, but who would have thought that Silver would find a way to get back in her good graces.
