Chapter 618
Seeing that Carlene hadn’t responded, Maja’s gaze became very calm.
She wasn’t in a rush, knowing that Carlene’s fate wasn’t sealed yet.
Carlene had almost cost her life on a cruise ship before, with her father’s life and many other things. These were enough for Carlene to pay a price. Maja wasn’t a saint, and she would naturally respond in kind.
Right now, she was sitting in her office, thinking about her afternoon check in at lan’s place, so she put her phone down.
However, at that moment, Carlene replied with a message.
“You just wait and see!”
She found it amusing and tossed her phone aside
Soon, the news that Carlene wasn’t a member of the Shepard family reached lan’s ears.
It was Tyler who told him.
“lan, if you want to play the hero, now’s your chance.”
lan hung up without a word.
Then, Phelps Herrington called.
“Carlene is not the Shepard family’s daughter. I suspect she’s the lost princess of the Sanders family, and I plan to have her do a paternity test with Mr. Sanders.”
Phelps Herrington had already started preparing to investigate Carlene’s background but still reminded lan.
“Aren’t you going to do anything? Just say the word, and plenty of people will be willing to help her.”
lan opened his mouth, but it Maja’s figure popped into his head.
“The Raymond family has already given her enough.”
lan had always ignored the Shepard family, using the Raymond family’s wealth. And the countless gifts he’d given Carlene during their time together.
If the Shepard family had put more effort into running their company, they wouldn’t be in this mess.
Not to mention the issue with the coastal property, it was a fact.
Carlene had already gone to see Edith, crying her heart out in front of her.
Edith initially thought she could accept Carlene’s background, but it turned out she wasn’t even a Shepard, just a child of unknown origin.
“Edith, can you help me, for Eric’s sake? He said he would marry me…”
Eric was Edith’s favourite grandson, so hearing Carlene say this made her very upset.
“Did Eric really say that to you?”
Carlene sobbed as she answered, “Is there any other woman by Eric’s side besides me?”
This made Edith think. She gave Carlene a bank card with hundreds of thousands of dollars.
“Take this money.”
“Edith, Eric hoped I could join the Raymond family. Now that he’s gone, no one can fulfil that wish.”
Edith’s heart clenched, recalling how Eric and Carlene had been close. If it weren’t for the accident, they might be married by how.
And Eric had told her that he’d found someone he liked.
Edith’s favouritism for Eric was profound, so she immediately called lan.
“Your brother planned to marry Carlene. Even though he’s not here anymore, you should fulfil his wish. Marry Carlene. You’re divorced now.
lan found it hilarious when he heard this, a cold look in his eyes.
“Grandma, are you saying that even if Eric wanted something and he’s gone, I should still get it for him?”
Edith frowned, “He’s your brother, lan. You should know how you got where you are. If Eric hadn’t had an accident, you might still be in the military. You wouldn’t have had a chance to be where you are now. You’ve taken what was your brother’s. Why can’t you fulfil his wish? You owe him that.”
lan hung up, staring coldly at the screen.
Edith couldn’t accept this and called again.
lan chuckled and said, “Grandma, if I really got involved with his woman, do you think he’d fight me if he came back one day?”
And besides, he would never touch the woman Eric loved.
Even though many thought he might have killed Eric, considering the dark battles within the rich families. But he would never go as far as to take what was Eric’s.
Edith stood up abruptly, her eyes filled with emotion.
“lan, how could you say such a thing? Have you heard something? Tell me now!”

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....
