Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 473

Chapter 473 

Carlene stormed out of the Raymond, Corporation building, so pissed that her chest was heaving with rage. 

Was lan into someone else now? 

But ever since he got back, there was no new woman around him except Penny. 

But he must have seen it last night. Penny was such a tart, even making moves on Samuel in public. God knew what she’s like behind closed doors. This was definitely not lan’s cup of tea. 

A flash of jealousy crossed Carlene’s eyes. Penny or not, she wouldn’t let her off the hook! 

Just wait till she dealt with that Maja chick tonight. 

She took a deep breath and glanced at the time; it was almost nine. 

She quickly headed to the Raymond Mansion; after all, Edith and Selena were waiting there, and they all wanted to see Maja grovel in apology. 

Feeling a bit better about the thought, Carlene arrived at the mansion to find Edith and Selena already waiting. 

Pastries lay before them. It looked like they both believed Maja would come to apologize tonight. 

Edith, just out of the hospital, was still a bit pale but managed to crack a smile when she heard Carlene had successfully taken over the Pennyfeather family’s company. 

“Good job, Carlene,” she said, patting Carlene’s hand. 

A smug glint flashed in Carlene’s eyes. Edith’s favorite was still her, no matter what lan thought. 

She glanced at Selena, who was a lot friendlier now, giving her a nod as if to acknowledge her capability. 

But Carlene félt the need to dig a little deeper. 

“Edith, what do you think would happen if Grandpa Holden knew about this?” 

Edith scoffed, sipping her coffee. 

“You don’t know lan. If he doesn’t like someone, he wouldn’t pay any attention to them, nor would he let them get the better of him. Holden forced him into a marriage, and now he’s pushing him to get along with Maja. Ian’s been sick of it. The more Holden wants them together, the more lan despises Maja. So he wouldn’t let Holden know about this, knowing it would cause trouble.” 

Carlene smirked. “Edith, as long as I have you backing me up, I’ve got nothing to fear.” 

Selena even reminded her, “Don’t forget to capture Maja’s disgraceful moment and share it with everyone.” 

That way, Maja would be finished in Greenfield circles. 

Carlene agreed with a laugh, but before they could enjoy their victory, a contract was delivered. 

Carlene frowned. What was this? 

She expected Maja herself to come to Raymond Mansion! 

The contract was delivered by Samuel’s people. 

“Ms. Shepard, this is the contract we signed with Elite Edge Consortium, which will expire next week! If we can’t provide enough paint on time, the company will face a 2 billion–dollar penalty. Even if we liquidated the company now, we’d still be short by a billion.” 

Carlene was fuming. 

“When did this happen?” 

“Ms. Shepard, there’s no point in dwelling on that now. The issue is that we need to come up with that money. If we can’t, the contract will be enforced.” 

Carlene was seething with rage. Why was Samuel helping Maja?
