Chapter 458
Crystalbrook Valley was a hot mess. Olivia, foreseeing that her child wouldn’t make it, made a fuss just to squeeze løn for money.
She was only slightly hurt when she was knocked a few feet away, but since she was pregnant, she clutched her stomach, with blood pooling around her feet.
“My baby! My baby! Mr. Raymond, you owe me a child. I’m going haunt you for the rest of your life! Or you can cough up 30 million, and we call it a day!”
lan had never seen a woman with such thick skin. He drove straight back to Riverside Haven, letting the manager deal with her.
Even the manager of Crystalbrook Valley had enough of Olivia’s unreasonable behavior.
Now, lan was a VIP in Crystalbrook Valley. If he really got mad and stopped the project, it would affect so many people’s livelihoods. The manager got so pissed off that they fired Daly on the spot and told him to stay the hell away.
lan sat alone in the lobby; the atmosphere was heavy, and no one dared to plead for the Elston family. Everyone felt like they had a massive weight on their shoulders.
lan lit up a cigarette, inhaling deeply.
The manager of Crystalbrook Valley had already sent Daly packing, and Olivia was sent to the hospital.
But Olivia kept shouting, trying to let everyone know that she was hit by lan.
In the end, she spat out something even more outrageous. She claimed the child in her womb was lan’s.
Olivia was skinny and had a sharp–tongued look. She had never been to school, so there was no way lan would be into her. But Olivia had this delusional self–confidence, always thinking she could be connected to him.

She was now pushed into the operating room. She had to have a forced abortion because the baby was already dead. The manager of Crystalbrook Valley looked at lan, wiping the sweat off his forehead nervously.
“Mr. Raymond, don’t worry about this; we’ll handle it.”
Jan held the cigarette between his fingertips; never had he seen such a peculiar woman.
He squinted his eyes; his words were cold.
“I don’t want to hear anything about their family again, and I don’t want anyone pleading for them.”
The manager kept wiping the sweat off his forehead, feeling the cold sweat on his back.
“Mr. Raymond, we understand; you can rest assured.”
Ian put out the cigarette in his hand, glanced at the clock on the wall, and realized he had wasted three hours on this.
He felt a nameless irritation, took out his phone, and saw it was out of battery.
So he didn’t know that the drama at Greenfield had already started.
A lot of people were waiting to watch this. Edith had already been brought over by Selena.
The appraiser had been waiting in the middle, and the painting Carlene sent was put aside; only Maja hadn’t arrived yet.
People started to gossip.
“Is she chickening out?”
“I also think suing Grandma Edith is too much. I guess she made this decision when she was not in her right mind; now she probably sobered up and is hiding somewhere.”
“I heard she’s not good–looking.”
Carlene found these comments amusing.
Normally, the Shepard family wouldn’t have so many guests; after all, the Shepard family wasn’t really famous.
But today there were a lot of visitors, which, in a way, expanded the Shepard family’s social network.
And most of the people here knew that she was lan’s sweetheart. The Shepard family’s business would only get better in the future.

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....
