Maja heard him answer the phone, but she didn't give enough thought to its meaning. She turned to look out the window, her heart filled with worry for Holden.
However, Ian drove her back to Star Movie Group, cautioning her in the process, "You need to take care of your company affairs. The Raymond family is going to be a bit busy."
He was clearly referring to the matters of Dennis and his cronies.
Unable to help him out with that problem, Maja could only nod in agreement.
With a heavy heart, Maja entered the company building while Ian received a message from Dennis, asking him to come to Raymond Corporation.
So, Ian hit the accelerator to reach there as fast as possible.
On arrival at Raymond Tower, he directly headed to the top floor.
The atmosphere at the top was a bit eerie, as Dennis had been dealing with various documents lately. The top executives, having not seen Ian for a while, wanted to say something but didn't dare to utter a word as Dennis and his gang had just entered the conference room. Everyone expected a big event at Raymond Corporation that day.
Standing aloof in the center of the lobby, Ian scanned the crowd with a gloomy gaze before striding towards the conference room.
Upon opening the door, he saw Dennis sitting in the main seat by the floor-to-ceiling window, a seat that used to be Ian's. And at that time, Dennis sat there unabashedly with none of his top executives stopping him on his tracks.
The executives who had always trusted Ian had suffered in his absence. Seeing him at that point, they felt a sense of relief and stood up.
"Mr. Raymond, we're glad you're finally here."
"Mr. Raymond, are you feeling okay?"
Two-thirds of the executives who stood up were still loyal to Ian, while the remaining third had obviously switched to Dennis's camp.
That day’s conference room was especially lively. In addition to Raymond Corporation's executives, there were also a dozen members from the Raymond family.
Maureen and Ryan Elston were sitting together, with Ryan so ashamed that he didn't even dare to look up at Ian.
Maureen, on the other hand, held her head high, clearly having made up her mind.
Those members of the Raymond family were all supporting Dennis. They had come that day specifically to force Ian to step down as CEO and kick him out of the Raymond family.
Everyone had seen his disrespectful behavior towards elders last night.
Dennis, sitting in the main seat, rose courteously as Ian entered.

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....
