Chapter 511
Lingery had always been a tough cookie. His ruthless ways got him into trouble when he was younger, and the Raymond family had to bail him out with money. He even nearly got a severe punishment from Holden.
And now he made for a handy sidekick for Carlene. She just needed to give the orders, and Lingery will carry them out.
“Alright, it’s been a while since we’ve seen each other.”
After hanging up the phone, a sinister smile crept onto Carlene’s face.
She wanted to see how Penny would handle this.
Did Penny think she had nine lives while trying to get close to lan?
Meanwhile, Maja was still in the dark about Carlene’s plan. She called Shawn Walsh, notifying him that she had become an investor..
Shawn, who was all set to join Simstar Entertainment, was taken aback by the news.
“Shawn, I partnered with Tyler, and he still wants you as the male lead.”
Shawn was so shocked he was lost for words, dropping the package he was holding.
Sleeping pills scattered out of the package.
That was his worst–case scenario.
If Funfly really did those things to him, he would expose her on the internet and then take sleeping pills to end his life.
But he never expected Maja to save him.
Shawn was touched and a bit thrilled.
“Penny, I want to take you out for a meal sometime. You probably don’t know what this means to me.”
Securing the lead role meant he could stay with his current company.
Even though his current company had many issues, as long as the movie was successful, his contract would end, and he could do as he pleased, not bound by the contract anymore.
But if he couldn’t be the lead, the company would sell him to Simstar Entertainment.
Maja was having a bit of a stomachache that day, so she politely declined Shawn’s invitation, saying they could talk about it next time.
Shawn was a bit bummed. “Will you ever visit the set? It’s pretty fun.”
Maja, being an average person, hadn’t been to a star’s set before, so she agreed.
“I will, when I get the time.”
Shawn didn’t want to hang up, but Maja beat him to it.
She got back to Rosewood Manor, had some soup that Maria had made, and went straight to bed.
Only three more times to go. She just had to suck it up.
In fact, investing in Tyler’s script was an opportunity for Maja.
Tyler’s scripts usually wouldn’t flop, and the return on investment was typically around ten times the original amount.
The Pennyfeather family’s company, which was in the paint business, was still in the recovery phase and couldn’t make much profit for the time being.
Moreover, lan had intercepted most of the Pennyfeather family’s orders for the past six months..
Although Maja had roped in Silverstone Enterprises to keep the Pennyfeather group afloat, the Pennyfeather group might just break even for the next six months.
So Maja had to make some additional investments with her own money.
By the time the six months were up, she and lan would probably have divorced.
The workers from Silverstone Enterprises were very dedicated. Until now, the renovation work for Greenfield Gardens had been progressing smoothly without any issues. Thanks to the hundreds of workers working simultaneously, the renovation time was significantly reduced. The work was expected to wrap up soon.
Maja lowered her head. What she cared about most now was Holden’s health, which would determine whether she could divorce lan.
In the past, Holden would call her regularly, but he hadn’t gotten in touch for more than ten days.
Around noon, Maja bought some gifts and took the initiative to visit Holden.
When she arrived at the old house of the Raymond family, she was led into the inner room by the butler.
Currently, only Holden was living there, and it was very quiet.

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....
