Chapter 423

The fire in the room had been put out, and Maja was curled up in a corner, her bonds untied and the gag removed from her mouth.

Just moments ago, a lick of flame threatened to engulf her, but she was yanked away just in time.

When the bag over her head was taken off, she saw the cleaner, who was supposed to be at the office.

“Ms. Pennyfeather, are you okay?”

The cleaner seemed genuinely concerned, her face full of worry.

Neil saw Maja huddled in the corner. She was unharmed, but her clothes were dirty and her hair was filled with dust.

The acrid smell of burnt wood filled the room.

Neil tasted blood in his mouth and quickly began barking orders to the people around him.

“Help her up.”

Two bodyguards were about to step forward, but Maja had already gotten up on her own.
