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.

“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!”

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.”
