Ian slumped into the chair nearby, his demeanor weary, yet his aura unbroken.
"Eric, you really think I'd give up all my shares in the Raymond Corporation for just a bracelet? Do you take me for a fool?"
A smirk curled at the corner of Patric's mouth. "Of course it's not just a bracelet. As long as you sign the agreement, I'll bring Maja back to you. Completely back to you."
"Alright."
Without any hesitation, Ian rose from his seat.
"On the day we sign that contract, I want to see her. The moment she's here, I'll sign the deal. Eric, don't try to trick me. If I go mad, I could bring down the entire Raymond family."
As he spoke, his eyes casually swept over their old family manor, showing no signs of attachment.
Patric knew that Ian was serious and would follow through with his threats.
But what does it matter? Once Ian was no longer the CEO of the Raymond Corporation, he wouldn't be able to use the family's influence.
Once that happened, Patric planned to have him killed, right in front of Eric. That way, he could get rid of these two brothers and take full control of the Raymond family.
A win-win situation.
"Alright, Ian, wait for my news then."
The person behind all this, the one who was willing to deliver the bracelet to Ian, must be on his side.
Someone from the shadows wanted Ian to lose everything.
Patric didn't know who was pulling the strings yet, but their intentions were clear.
The enemy of his enemy could be his friend.
Even though Maja was not currently in his hands, as long as he could get the news out that Ian was willing to give up his shares, the puppet master would deliver Maja, albeit temporarily.
As Ian exited the large manor gates, he spotted Steve coming in.
Steve's eyes flickered as he saw him, wanting to say something. But as they passed by each other, Ian didn't even acknowledge him.
This hardened Steve's resolve to mend their relationship.
Indeed, his young son was always a wolf that couldn't be tamed.
Eric, on the other hand, was always obedient and gentle to his family members.
Ian returned to his car, where Fitch asked, "Don't you find this whole situation suspicious?"
Ian's gaze was focused outside, like a walking corpse.
But if one looked closely, one would see the sharpness in his eyes.
Fitch frowned, "Dylan has been aggressively obstructing the Raymond Corporation's business lately. The media has begun reporting on it. If it wasn't for fear of your retaliation, I'm sure the reporters would have been spreading news about your feud with Dylan like wildfire."

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
