Chapter 962
Simultaneously, whispers of Dennis possibly stepping into the shoes of the Raymond Group heir began to circulate
within the industry.
People were adopting a wait–and–see stance, but they were also profoundly shocked by all that was happening
around them.
Who exactly was lan? In the past, those of the same age were warned by their families not to provoke him.
Everyone knew that his business tactics were ruthlessly effective.
And all of a sudden, Dennis might replace him?
However, the news coming out of the Raymond family suggested just that, and even lan, due to some matter, could
not appear in public for the time being. Meanwhile, Maja was in her company, facing several private detectives.
She wanted them to capture scandalous footage of Funfly Darcy and feed it to the paparazzi. Under such pressure,
Funfly would undoubtedly opt to resign from her position.
Many top executives who had good relations with Funfly were entangled in complex personal relationships with her.
Colin Paisley was Funfly’s right–hand man, and the two were as thick as thieves.
Though Funfly liked to manipulate men, Colin had an appreciation for the company’s artists.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf the misconduct of those executives could be exposed, the reputation of Simstar Entertainment would surely take
a big hit. To salvage the company, those implicated executives would surely be fired.
Maja dismissed the detectives, instructing them to capture useful footage.
Back in her office, Zoey was waiting for her.
“Ms. Pennyfeather, something happened to Mr. Raymond. I heard from friends at the Raymond Corporation that he
was taken away.”
“By whom?”
“It seems like it were several officers. They said Mr. Raymond had to cooperate with an investigation, but no one
knows what he’s implicated in. Everyone’s saying the Raymond Corporation is looking for a new CEO.”
Maja immediately dialed lan’s number, but he didn’t pick up her call.
She then called Jeff, who relayed the events to her before sighing deeply.
“If the CEO can’t wriggle out of this mess this time, Dennis will become the Raymond Corporation’s CEO.
Furthermore, the other Raymond family members are all blaming the CEO for this event. The situation is tricky right
now, the investigation needs time, but his agreement with the EcoTraverse Group expires in just five days. By then,
he must relinquish twenty percent of his shares.”
Maja had already stood up, untangling the relations involved.
Jeff hadn’t been explicit, but she could guess that if lan lost his position as the CEO of the Raymond Corporation, it
would mean he might never return to society. Dennis had the means to keep him in jail indefinitely and could even
arrange for him to die quietly behind bars.
With Holden missing and lan in trouble, Maja felt an unprecedented anxiety as she couldn’t figure out a solution to
that massive problem.
After hanging up, she was at a loss for who to turn to.
Who had the ability to challenge the current Raymond family? Who would risk offending Dennis to step forward at
that critical moment?
Her head hurt from all the thinking.
Finally, she dialed Fitch’s number.
Fitch’s tone was as cold as ever as he retorted, “This has nothing to do with me. It was his choice.”
Maja experienced a setback. Then she called Tyler.
Tyler laughed on the phone, but his disdain for her was barely concealed.
“Maja, do you really think that I would collaborate with you at this time? What can you offer me? I’ve told you
before, you’re too weak. Being by his side only puts him in danger, let alone you not being able to help him at this
crucial time.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe call was hung up once again.
Maja indeed realized her own powerlessness as she was unable to find a way to help him. Even though she was
working hard to manage the company and had made a lot of money, she still couldn’t help lan at that moment.
Her capabilities were limited, and she couldn’t intervene in his affairs.
The social status gap was too large, and that was a reality she didn’t want to admit.
If it was a business issue, she could still come up with some ideas, but when it involved the government and the
social circles of Greenfield, she was helpless.
She felt powerless.
Her phone rang at that moment. Seeing the unfamiliar overseas number, she didn’t want to pick up.
Because she knew who was calling.
It was only on the third call that she picked up.
“Maja, only I can help lan. You should just leave. Otherwise, I won’t help him this time. Think about it. You need to
recognize your own abilities, the gap between you and him is vast.”
Ms. Sanders‘ voice was very clear as she continued, “By the way, I’m coming to Greenfield myself this time. Beck is
still there. Did you forget about the promise you made to him last time? If you break your prornise to him, my
brother will take action. After all, those few Hollywood spots are controlled by my brother. You won’t want to be
punished, right? If he makes a move, Shawn will be immediately disqualified, the footage shot will be scrapped, and
those spots will be taken back. Don’t provoke me, you can’t bear the consequences.”
