Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 626

Chapter 626 

lan was still fuming, pissed off to the max because Maja voluntarily left that place. 

But he was good at hiding his feelings, so he just kept a straight face and continued working, planning to give her a piece of his mind later. 

However, by the time he was clocking off, he got a call from Raymond Mansion. 

Edith sounded a bit down in the dumps. 

“lan, I messed up last time, and I’ve thought it through,” She said.. 

lan wasn’t really buying that Edith had had an epiphany. 

Edith had always been all about Enc. After Eric’s accident, Edith had stormed off in a huff, gone for six years. 

How could someone who played favorites like that suddenly see the light? 

But then Edith said something that made lan sit up and take notice. 

“I’ve got some of Enc’s stuff here. Come and take a look and grab a bite with me while you’re at it.” 

lan had never felt any family love from Edith, but he could also hear Selena’s voice over the phone.. 

“lan, we both want to apologize to you.” 

Hearing this, lan couldn’t help but think back to a long time ago. 

Eric had been kidnapped, and the Raymond family was all over the place. He could remember Edith and Selena arguing with people, crying and asking, “Why did they have to take Eric? What will we do if something happens to him.” 

Edith was especially distraught, “Tell the kidnappers to take lan instead, they’re both Raymond kids, they’re worth the same!” 

lan was just a kid back then, standing there coldly, watching Edith crying uncontrollably. 

“Eric, my Eric!” 

Then the Raymonds really did start negotiating with the kidnappers, trying to trade lan for Eric, but the kidnappers didn’t bite. 

That day, the Raymond family was in total chaos. lan was too young to fully understand what was going on, but being a kid, he got hungry fast. He was unable to suppress his hunger and was just about to have some soup when Selena knocked the bowl out of his hands. 

“Eric’s been kidnapped and you’re eating?! Do you want something to happen to him?!” 

The hot soup spilled onto lan’s hand. 

Young lan looked up at Selena. 

Selena seemed taken aback by his gaze, she took a step back, and then muttered, “Emotionless freak.” 

lan knew very well that if the kidnappers had agreed to the trade, he would’ve been shipped off without a second thought. 

So, when someone suggested trading Maja for Carlene, he agreed to it immediately. 

That’s the lesson he learned from the Raymonds. 

It’s okay to ditch anything useless, even family. 

Listening to Edith sobbing on the phone, lan felt a pang. 

There were some things that can haunt a person for a lifetime. 

He’s always wondered what made him so different from Eric. 

“lan, you’re coming home tonight, right?” Edith asked cautiously. 

lan nodded, “Yeah.” 

So, after work, lan didn’t let Maja drive him home, instead he called and told her to go home herself. 

Maja did have some things to take care of, so she went over to the Pennyfeather group. 

There, she bumped into Shawn who was waiting for her. 

Though Shawn was mostly back to normal, he was still a bit traumatized when he talked about being taken away by Funfly. 

“Penny, I’ve been waiting for you. There’s a director I want you to meet; have you ever heard of Meetman Arkland?” 

“The one who directed Palace of Desire?” 

“Yeah, that’s the one. The show was a hit for a decade. But two years ago, Meetman was accused of misconduct towards female actors, which tanked his reputation His wife also left him with the kids. Penny, I ran into Meetman in a bar. He’s hit rock bottom, but I still believe in his talent. You mentioned the show at a meeting once, I don’t think Meetman would do something like that, if there’s a chance to help him.” 

Maja had seen Palace of Desire and had a good opinion of Meetman. But his reputation was ruined, his ex–wife even took jabs at him online. 

“Penny, this actually has something to do with Carlene’s friend Laura, because Meetman’s ex-wife is Laura’s aunt Harden.” 

Hearing about Laura, Maja’s eyes flashed with anger. 

Because Laura was still unconscious, the case of Neil’s car accident was still unresolved. 

Laura’s family had been trying to bring an end to the case with money, but Maja had been avoiding them.
