Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 420

A whopping 35% stake in the Neilian Group was at stake, and with Neil sick as a dog and Cristina Perkins in a pickle, the Pennyfeather family fortune was hanging by a thread, with only Maja holding down the fort. If she kicked the bucket, the ownership of the company will be up for grabs.

Tom was as cocky as a fox.

"Chill out, guys. I busted my chops to get this stuff," he said.

Still, the others were on pins and needles, knowing full well that they were playing with fire.

But considering Maja's highhandedness, they all had a bone to pick with her, especially for that juicy 35% stake.

Matthew finally lost his cool.

"Don't forget, the Pennyfeathers and Raymonds are about to tie the knot. If the Raymonds catch wind of this, what then?" he asked.

Tom sneered, "Do you guys know who hooked me up with this stuff?"

"Who?" everyone inquired.

"Tricia," he replied.

Back in the day, Cristina wielded a lot of clout in the company and often brought Tricia along, so Tom knew her.

"You probably don't know, but Maja is not Neil's flesh and blood. She is a stray, and if the Raymonds find out, they'd be mortified. After all, it's their golden boy, Ian, who'd be affected," Tom revealed.

If the Raymond elders found out their golden boy was marrying a stray, they'd be mad as a wet hen.

"Tricia gave me this stuff. She said the Raymonds are not too keen on Maja's lineage, and it would actually be a blessing in disguise for them if something were to happen to Maja," Tom added.

Hearing this, everyone wore a satisfied grin.

Tom stood up, confidence oozing from every pore.

"Tricia is Neil's only legitimate daughter and most likely to replace Maja as Ian's bride. Most importantly, she is easier to deal with than Maja. If that 35% stake lands in her lap, she promised to share it with everyone involved in this," Tom said.

Knowing that Maja was not Neil's biological daughter, everyone felt emboldened.

After getting the bank password, Tricia called Tom up. She had vowed to make Maja regret it.

She didn't plan to leave Maja right away, though. She wanted to use Ian to hurt Maja.

Seeing how Maja was shameless enough to go after Ian but too chicken to reveal her true identity, it was clear Maja had fallen for him first.

Tricia cursed Maja under her breath and got in touch with some of her contacts.
