Chapter 627
“Say that again?”
Upon hearing this, Maja shot up from her chair.
Harden chuckled on the other end, then sighed breezily.
“I’ve been patient, thinking you’d agree soon enough. But you’ve wasted too much of my time, so I had to resort to this.”
Maja felt a surge of anger in her chest.
She thought back to Neil’s funeral, the way she’d carefully held onto the urn.
“Ms. Pennyfeather, Neil’s ashes are with me. What I gave you were the remains of some cremated stray dogs, just enough to fill your urn. I didn’t think it would come to this,” Harden said casually, “Are you ready to talk now?”

Maja forced herself to stay cool. She couldn’t fall for that woman’s trap, “Where shall we meet, Miss Dickens?”
Harden sent her an address.
“It’s here. Laura is in a coma and may not wake up. Ms. Pennyfeather, you should know when to stop. I heard you’re not Neil’s biological daughter. I’ll give you five million. It’s a big win for you. There’s no need to be so stubborn.”
Maja hung up the phone.
Harden chuckled, returning to her conversation with her business partner as if nothing had happened..
Maja sat back down; she was stunned that the Tuttles could do something so despicable. Switching the ashes, how could they do such a thing?
She took a deep breath and tried her best to keep her composure.
Meanwhile, lan had just arrived at the Raymond Mansion.
The house was filled with a pleasant aroma. He walked into the dining room to find a table full of food.
Edith and Selena were already waiting.
“lan, you haven’t eaten yet, have you? Come and sit down.”
lan handed his coat to a servant and rolled up his sleeves.
Selena immediately noticed the agarwood bracelet on his wrist.
“Is that agarwood? Why are you wearing this all of a sudden.”
lan looked at her and said, “Is there a problem with it?”
“Your brother Eric loved these bracelets, but he couldn’t wear them because of his job.
Selena grabbed lan’s wrist, sniffing the aroma of the agarwood. Her eyes welled up with tears.
“Eric used to have one just like this. He would grind it himself. The powdered wood was used for incense, it could fill the whole house with its fragrance. I didn’t expect you to wear one too.”
lan felt uneasy and pulled his hand back.
Across the table, Edith coughed twice which was a signal for Selena to stop mentioning Eric. They had other matters to attend to tonight.
Selena caught on and started serving lan, “lan, eat up. We didn’t get you anything for your birthday, the other day, so Edith and I cooked this meal ourselves.”

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....
