Chapter 465
When lan walked in, everyone else immediately stopped talking.
Tyler enthusiastically handed him a glass of wine.
“You’re late to the party, man. You missed all the fun. Ian, your wife is one heck of a character.”
lan had just finished dealing with a whole mess of troubles from the Raymond family. Now Edith was in the hospital out of anger, and the Shepard family was constantly complaining.
Maja had everyone on edge!
Tyler clapped lan on the shoulder.
“She may not be a looker, but man, can she talk! You landing her is quite a stroke of luck.”
lan was having a rough day. He replied with a cold smile, “This luck of mine, do you want it?”
Tyler immediately shut his mouth. After all, he was a sucker for a pretty face.
lan took a sip of his wine, leaned back a bit, and undid a few buttons on his collar, his eyes cool and distant.
Tyler tried to console him: “Forget about her; what are you planning to do about Carlene? After tonight, people will be talking. If you really like her, you should divorce and make it official.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtlan looked at his glass of wine, his tone suddenly soft.
“Grandpa wants me to marry Maja; grandma wants me to marry Carlene. Why can’t I just marry the person I really want to?”
These words were spoken so softly that only Tyler and Fitch heard them.
They exchanged a glance, not knowing what to say.
In these wealthy families, where was the real love? Those who thought it existed were just naive.
Ordinary people had to consider money, cars, and houses when getting married. It’s even more so for the rich.
Most people would compromise, choose a wife that their family approved of, and then find a few they truly like on the side.
Stable marriage at home, complicated affairs outside.
Then they played the loving couple in public, which was good for the company’s stock price.
lan was the best among the younger generation, leaving others in the dust. But he was still forced into marriage by Holden, and he even spent three years abroad.
“lan, who do you want to marry?”
When Tyler asked this, he was genuinely puzzled. Could it be Penny?

lan didn’t answer; he just quietly looked at his wine glass.
After a while, he said, “I thought I wanted to marry Carlene, but now I’m not sure.”
But at least he was sure he no longer wanted to marry Carlene.
Fitch, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up.
“As long as it’s not Penny, that’s good. At least you’re not completely out of your mind.”
lan frowned a little. “She’s not even divorced yet; I have to wait if I want to marry her.”
Fitch smirked and decided not to say anything more.
Tyler, on the other hand, laughed.
Talk is cheap, man. With your credentials, if you really married a divorcee, half the women in Greenfield would be heartbroken. You’re just not done playing the field.”
He was indeed not done playing the field.
If he was, he would just compensate her and be done with it.
lan was about to take another sip of wine when his phone rang again.
It was Holden calling. He guessed that Holden probably heard about Edith’s hospitalization.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe stood up, nodded at the two of them, and headed out.
But he did not answer Holden’s call. He suspected that Holden wanted him to accompany Maja.
The last thing he wanted right now was to see that woman.
The next morning.
Maja woke up early, fed Coco, and then went to the Penny feather Group.
Despite firing several top managers, the Pennyfeather Group was still in chaos. The higher–ups were a mix of good and bad, and she didn’t have a single person she could trust.
Those top managers probably still had spies in the company. Everyone was trying to save themselves, not wanting to be fired.
Maja had to pick someone from these employees to be her assistant, so even if she wasn’t at the company, someone would report all the details to her.
She sifted through resumes, finally stopping at a woman’s.
Although the Pennyfeather Group couldn’t compete with other well–known companies, after two rounds of financing and going public, those who applied had to be highly educated. Anyone who didn’t meet the standard was eliminated during the interview.

And big companies were even more strict. In companies like the Raymond Corporation, every department consisted of top graduates from prestigious
universities.
