Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1267

Edith slammed her hand down on the table with a force that echoed throughout the room.

"I should've just drowned him when I had the chance!"

But what was the point of saying that now?

The atmosphere in the room was tense. Some suggested going to the Raymond Corporation or Greenfield Gardens to try and corner Ian, but no matter where they went, Ian was always one step ahead.

At that moment, Ian was at the BlueSky Bar, a popular spot for the heirs of the city's most powerful families. Some had already taken over their family businesses, while others were still waiting in the wings.

In the Greenfield social hierarchy, Ian, Fitch, Tyler, and Phelps were considered the top dogs.

Previously, everyone believed that Ian would give up the Raymond Corporation for Maja, which had caused some tension.

But now, within a day, he had bought out the Sanders family's subsidiary and taken over 25% of the Morris family shares, who were related to the Raymonds. This bold move had everyone on edge.

Ian's phone kept lighting up. It was clear the calls were from the Morris family, but he didn't answer, instead, he was focused on Jolin in his arms.

"Jolin, who should I buy out next?" he asked.

Jolin had never imagined Ian would take her offhand remark about buying a company so seriously. She had teased him earlier that day about how nice it would be if he owned a certain company, not expecting him to act on it immediately.

The thought of such a powerful man, who was completely devoted to her, was utterly satisfying. Especially with the attention they were getting.

She felt like a queen, with her knight ready to do her bidding at her command.

The room fell silent at Ian's question. Some quickly tried to appease Jolin by offering her a yearly membership card to their jewelry company, which will allow her to shop for free.

Others followed suit, each trying to win her favor.

Jolin knew their motives and accepted their offers with a smile.
