Sweat began to bead on Mr. Haley's forehead, prompting Dennis to ask one of the assistants to turn on the air conditioning in the conference room.
Summer was in full swing, and the heat was starting to become unbearable.
"Mr. Haley, I'll have someone bring you an iced soda," offered Dennis.
Mr. Haley offered a tight smile. He dared not accept any beverage from these people, lest Mr. Raymond perceive it as a betrayal.
Despite being twenty years older than Ian, Mr. Haley showed him more respect than anyone else. However, when it came to Dennis, he was full of confidence, quietly sitting aside.
Dennis slightly flattered him. After all, he needed the 20% of shares in Mr. Haley's hands.
With half an hour left, all members of the Raymond family within the conference room had begun to discuss.
"I heard Ian's still locked up. Once the agreement is over, are any of you willing to bail him out?"
"Who'd go? His superiority complex is unbearable. Despite being our junior, he always acts so high-and-mighty. It’s about time he got knocked down a peg. He needs to realize the world isn't his oyster."
"And Once the agreement ends, I'm taking Maja to the BlueSky Bar to entertain clients. She owes the Raymond family, after all. Didn't we buy that Rosewood Manor she's living in?"
These people were not only eyeing Ian's shares, and they were even considering Rosewood Manor.
The value of the mansion was a testament to how much Holden cherished her, giving it to her as a pre-marital gift.
Who wouldn't drool over a property worth several million dollars? A sale of that magnitude could finance many large projects.
Their eyes gleamed with greed as they glanced at each other. At that moment, everyone else was the enemy.
In the end, all eyes turned to Dennis, the current leader of the Raymond family. Only his word mattered.
Dennis sneered at their behavior. He would keep the mansion for himself, and these people wouldn’t get a single cent.
With ten minutes left, Dennis had already stood up, a triumphant smile on his face. He even attempted to shake hands with Mr. Haley, but Mr. Haley remained seated, making the gesture quite awkward.

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....
