Chapter 587

Maja just glanced at her phone.

Noticing it was late, she nonchalantly said, “Mr. Raymond, I gotta bounce.*

tan didn’t react, only the sound of his door closing could be heard.

As Maja reached the hotel lobby, a wave of sadness washed over her.

She looked up at the sky, trying to keep the tears from falling.

Then Zoey called.

Zoey would call at least three times a day, reporting on company matters.

But this call wasn’t about the company; it was about the legal team.

“Ms. Pennyfeather, we’ve gotten wind of who’s taken the fall for the Shepard family, It’s Dalia’s son, who’s currently

in the slammer. The whole thing’s stirred up a lot of chitchat; even the big shots are paying attention. With solid

evidence, things moved quickly, and they’ve taken him away. Dalia is busy scrambling around, hoping to bail her

son out. If all goes as expected, he’d be looking at a ten–year sentence.”

It turned out it was someone she knew.

Maja quickly slapped herself in the face, trying to shake off the sadness. She didn’t even notice that lan had

followed her out.

He seemed worried about her heading home alone so late.

But when he reached the hotel entrance and saw her on the phone, laughing and chatting, seemingly unaffected by

his matters, he was almost unable to contain the rush of anger.

Maja was still instructing Zoey, “Keep our legal team on the case. If Dalia’s son gets a ten–year sentence, Dalia

would definitely hold a grudge against Carlene. Who knows what she’d do then?”

She said this with lan standing behind her.

He had witnessed her clash with Dalia.

With the addition of Carlene, it seemed natural that she would take on the Shepard family.

But he was determined not to let her have her way. So after she hung up the phone, he said, “I’ll get someone to

spring him.”

He lit a cigarette, his eyes red from the smoke and, in part, from his anger at her indifference.

Hearing his voice, Maja slowly turned around to see him standing behind her.

He held the lit cigarette elegantly, looking at her with indifference.

“You want to take down the Shepard family, but I won’t allow it. Not only will I keep the Shepard family’s company

from going under, but I’ll also protect them.”

He had the power to do it, and it wouldn’t be a stretch.

Maja was at a loss for words.

lan was a widely recognized prodigy in the financial world. He was ruthless with his enemies, and no one dared to

cross him.

He rarely took action himself, but when he did, he showed no mercy.

Taking him on now was impossible.

If lan really did follow through, all her recent efforts would be in vain.

lan was like a ferocious wolf, and she was nothing more than a moth struggling by his side.

He took a deep drag on his cigarette, walked over, grabbed her chin, kissed her, and blew smoke into her mouth.

She didn’t smoke, and the cigarette he was smoking didn’t have a strong nicotine taste but rather a mild one. It

must have been a custom blend.

Still, she felt uncomfortable, her eyes reddening from the smoke.

lan let her go, looking at her with a hint of ruthlessness in his voice.

“Penny, I’ve given you respect, but you couldn’t care less. I’ve offered you money, but you turned it down.

Remember the last time you came begging? I told you things would be different.”

He was reminding her that if she walked away tonight, there would be no money the next time she came looking

for him.

As long as he wanted, she would definitely come looking for him again.

He was lan.

If she wanted to survive in Greenfield, she needed his approval.

At this moment, Maja felt helpless.

“Mr. Raymond, what do you want from me?”

Her voice was a bit hoarse. “If you’re looking for a woman, Ms. Shepard is obviously a better fit. Even if not her,

there are many outstanding women in your social circles. I’m just an average, divorced girl; I’m not up to your

standards.”

She had a hunch that arguing with him would only make him more ruthless.

She decided to try to persuade him.

But he moved closer, lowered his head, and bit her ear.

“You’re the only one who makes me feel good in bed.”
