Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 574

Everyone around was gobsmacked. The traffic light had already changed, but no car budged.

Neil's car was smoking, then on fire. Someone dialed 911 immediately, and the whole scene was thrown into chaos.

Laura's eyes were red and swollen. At the moment of the collision, she was thrown by the airbag, with broken glass piercing her chest. But she was still alive.

Seeing the car quickly catch fire, she chuckled.

"Go to hell!"

Maja was sitting in her office, feeling a bit jittery.

She wasn't sure if it was because she had been reading too many files and attending too many meetings that her head was spinning.

At nine o’clock at night, she received a call from the hospital telling her she needed to come to identify a body.

At first, Maja thought they had the wrong number until they started reading out the name.

"Your father was in a car accident at seven this evening. No one in the car survived."

Neil? But how could he have been in a car?

Maja still thought it was a mistake, as Neil was too sick to leave the house.

After hanging up, she immediately dialed the Pennyfeather family's mansion to confirm. It turned out that Neil wanted to bring her dinner.

Maja's head went "buzz". She rushed to the hospital immediately.

Three charred bodies were laid out. The doctor was trying to comfort her on the side.

"We've examined the bodies. One was your father, Neil; one was the driver; and the other was a servant. The accident was entirely the other party's fault. The driver, Laura, is still being rescued. She's a celebrity."

Maja saw a charred hand sticking out from under the white sheet. She covered her mouth, speechless.

"Ms. Pennyfeather, we have to wait for the driver to be rescued before we can deal with this."

Maja almost fainted. She didn't have the courage to lift the sheet. After being helped to sit down, she started throwing up.

The smell of burnt flesh filled the air. She was shivering all over, feeling freezing cold.

She hugged herself, her nails almost digging into her arms.

Her teeth were chattering. As she signed the identification documents, silent tears soaked the paper.

The doctor handed her a tissue, looking a bit heartbroken.

"Ms. Pennyfeather, do you have any other family? We can call them to come pick you up."

Because she didn't directly instigate Laura, she only provided the license plate information.

Maja felt a stomachache. She threw up again, the pain making her break out in a cold sweat.

She was only fifteen days away from divorcing Ian, but she felt she had to do something.

She frantically searched for information on the EverBest Group online and finally found out that the EverBest Group had recently received an investment from a company. The two companies were going to sign a five hundred million dollar financing contract in five days. Once the contract was signed, the EverBest Group would be able to pull through. That's why Carlene was feeling smug.

Because she knew that Laura didn't kill Maja, she killed Maja's father.

This news was enough to cause Maja great pain.

Not to mention, the Shepard family was about to get an investment. Once their current difficulties were over, she would still be the proud daughter of the Shepard family, while Maja was an orphan.

Carlene was sitting in her living room, unable to suppress a triumphant smile.

Tess comforted her, saying, "I told you, we'll find a way. The Shepard family's turning point is coming."

"Mom, you're right. I was too impatient before."

The mother and daughter shared a smile, feeling that the upcoming days would be wonderful.

Meanwhile, Maja was tirelessly investigating the EverBest Group. She even asked for help from Samuel, Luis, and the Miller family, but not from Ian, her husband in name.
