Chapter 297
He helped Holden sit on the sofa and got a nasty glare from him.
“Don’t think I don’t know why you hooked up with Carlene in the first place. It was all because of your
big bro, wasn’t it?”
lan didn’t answer. Instead, he gently patted Holden’s back.
“You feeling better now?”
Holden took a deep breath.
“If you really cared about me, you wouldn’t piss me off. Maja is a girl I handpicked. If you took the time
to get to know her, you’d realize she’s worth loving.”
Again, lan didn’t respond. He couldn’t care less how lovable Maja was.
Once Holden had recovered, he pushed lan’s hand away.
“Call Maja. If I catch wind of any more of your bullshit, I won’t hold back next time!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtlan was cornered. If Holden had threatened him with something else, like the heir position of the
Raymond family or CEO of the Raymond Group, he wouldn’t have given a damn.!
But Holden had to go for the jugular and bring up his own health.
Reluctantly, lan pulled out his phone, dialed a number he hadn’t contacted before.
It was Maja’s personal number.
Maja had already laid down in RosenGarden. She had been exhausted lately. With Leah’s issue just
resolved, she could finally get
some rest.
When she heard the phone ringing, she furrowed her brows, assuming it was Carlene calling to stir up
trouble again because she hadn’t found the cat.
Without checking, Maja turned off her phone.
After that, she covered herself with the blanket, finally resting.
lan’s call was disconnected, and he could tell Holden’s expression had worsened.
“Go kneel in front of Rosewood Manor!”
His tone was ice–cold. lan rubbed his forehead, about to leave, when Maria said, “Mr. Raymond is still
running a fever.”
Maria disapproved of lan’s treatment of Maja, but he was sick tonight.
Holden was taken aback and stood up, leaning on his cane.
“If I hear about Carlene causing trouble again, I’ll ensure the Shepard family disappears from
Greenfield. lan, you know what I’m capable of.”
With that, he left leaning on his cane.
lan hurried to accompany him but was met with a cold snort.
“Take your medicines and get some rest if you’re not feeling well. The Raymond Group won’t collapse
without you. If you really fall, some people would be thrilled.”
They both knew who those “people” were.
The butler was waiting by the door for Holden.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmlan didn’t leave with them.
Once the hall was quiet, he coughed a few times. His cheeks were flushed from the fever, but his eyes
were sharp. He knew Holden wouldn’t come to Rosewood Manor unless his wife had tattled on him.
The hall was extremely quiet now. Maria quickly brought him a glass of water.
“Mr. Raymond, please have a drink.”
lan sat alone on the sofa. Maria dared not look at him directly. She stole a few glances and had to
admit that Mr. Raymond was indeed very handsome.
His appearance was top–notch. The faint smile in his eyes was intoxicating. No wonder Carlene had
pursued him.
Maria stood there, thinking, and finally couldn’t help but speak up for Maja.
“Ms. Pennyfeather is always proper at Rosewood Manor. She’s been working overtime these few days,
so…”
Before she could finish, he cut her off coldly.
“I’m not interested in her.”
Maria was immediately disheartened, not understanding why Mr. Raymond wouldn’t like someone as
excellent as Ms. Pennyfeather.
