Chapter 1166
Some were speculating if they were back together, while others wondered if lan had lost his taste, choosing a
humble designer over the dazzling Judith.
Regardless of how well Maja managed the company, to this crowd, she was still that humble designer who used to
run errands in town.
She didn’t care about the gossip around her. Instead, she pulled out a napkin and gently wiped the perspiration off
lan’s forehead.
lan opened his eyes slightly and gave her a glance
Neither of them spoke a word. They were surrounded by people from their social circle, but they seemed to be in a
different world, encapsulated in the spotlight
Maja felt her heart beating fast. She clenched the napkin and returned her gaze to the stage.
This is an emerald donated by Mr. Tyler. The starting price is $300,000”
All eyes were on Tyler now
Tyler smiled at the crowd, hands folded over his stomach, his mole on his nose making him appear more refined.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn the end, the emerald was sold for $500,000.
The next item up for auction is a ring. It’s said to be a symbol of a youthful promise. The person who originally
bought this ring, when his life was threatened, sent it to a girl in the future”
Maja felt a little uneasy. The host then asked, “Ms. Pennyfeather, do you remember the person who made this
promise to you?”
The atmosphere slipped into a tense silence before the whispers began. Most knew little about Maja’s past, only
that she came from a humble background, luck struck, and she got entangled with the Raymond family.
Maja became Solemn, her body stiffened, and her back was unnaturally straight
Inside the magnificent hall, these high–profile figures frowned as the host smiled at everybody.
“I believe you all know who sent the ring. He asked me to return it to Ms. Pennyfeather. After all, she’s kept it for a
long time and must be very anxious since it’s gone missing”
Lan straightened up, his gaze deep and intense on the stage.
He recognized that ring. He’d seen it back at RosenGarden. He assumed it was Maja’s wedding ring with her
husband. He pretended to have lost it and Maja had a massive tantrum.
So, the ring was from Eric. At least back then, she cared about Eric.
His face darkened, and he turned to look at Maja.
It had been less than a year since then.
Those around them started guessing Was the ring from Maja and lan?
But lan didn’t seem pleased.
Someone snickered, “Did Maja have an affair during her marriage?”
The voice belonged to Mia, who never missed an opportunity to belittle Maja.
Meanwhile, the host had reached Maja, grinning from ear to ear
“Ms Pennyfeather, the ring s owner donated $2 million separately. The ring should go back to its rightful owner.
Maja’s face remained expressionless “Sorry, this isn’t my property”
As soon as she finished speaking, a man’s voice echoed
‘ll give it to her”
His voice was gentle, like the soothing sound of a spring brook
Everyone’s gaze instantly shifted to the second floor. A man in a white suit stood there, his eyes warmly looking
down at Maja. He gave her a gentle smile, full of deep affection.
More than 100 people present often attended various parties held by rich families. Now in the resplendent hall,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsomeone instantly recognized that face
“Impossible! Isn’t he dead?”
Am I hallucinating? How is he still alive?”
“What on earth happened between Maja and him?”
Did Holden arrange for Maja to marry lan because she had something with him?”
Maja tensed
She could tell this wasn’t the gentle senior she knew. This was another vile personality.
Although he was trying hard to disguise himself as Patric, his eyes were full of malice when he met her gaze.
The man slowly descended from the second floor, making the atmosphere even more eerie, sparking more intense
discussions
Then, all eyes turned to lan
As the previous heir to the Raymond family, Eric was supposed to inherit the family business, However, after his
death, Holden passed the reins to lan.

Now that
Ireappeared, what wouldt lan do?
Under the scrutiny of the crowd, lan’s eyes were only on Maja.
