Simultaneously, whispers of Dennis possibly stepping into the shoes of the Raymond Group heir began to circulate within the industry.
People were adopting a wait-and-see stance, but they were also profoundly shocked by all that was happening around them.
Who exactly was Ian? In the past, those of the same age were warned by their families not to provoke him. Everyone knew that his business tactics were ruthlessly effective.
And all of a sudden, Dennis might replace him?
However, the news coming out of the Raymond family suggested just that, and even Ian, due to some matter, could not appear in public for the time being.
Meanwhile, Maja was in her company, facing several private detectives.
She wanted them to capture scandalous footage of Funfly Darcy and feed it to the paparazzi. Under such pressure, Funfly would undoubtedly opt to resign from her position.
Many top executives who had good relations with Funfly were entangled in complex personal relationships with her.
Colin Paisley was Funfly's right-hand man, and the two were as thick as thieves.
Though Funfly liked to manipulate men, Colin had an appreciation for the company's artists.
If the misconduct of those executives could be exposed, the reputation of Simstar Entertainment would surely take a big hit. To salvage the company, those implicated executives would surely be fired.
Maja dismissed the detectives, instructing them to capture useful footage.
Back in her office, Zoey was waiting for her.
"Ms. Pennyfeather, something happened to Mr. Raymond. I heard from friends at the Raymond Corporation that he was taken away."
"By whom?"
"It seems like it were several officers. They said Mr. Raymond had to cooperate with an investigation, but no one knows what he's implicated in. Everyone's saying the Raymond Corporation is looking for a new CEO."
Maja immediately dialed Ian's number, but he didn't pick up her call.
She then called Jeff, who relayed the events to her before sighing deeply.
"If the CEO can't wriggle out of this mess this time, Dennis will become the Raymond Corporation's CEO. Furthermore, the other Raymond family members are all blaming the CEO for this event. The situation is tricky right now, the investigation needs time, but his agreement with the EcoTraverse Group expires in just five days. By then, he must relinquish twenty percent of his shares."
Maja had already stood up, untangling the relations involved.
Jeff hadn't been explicit, but she could guess that if Ian lost his position as the CEO of the Raymond Corporation, it would mean he might never return to society.

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....
