Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 971
Ian settled into his seat, his fingers drumming a slow rhythm on the table, just like he used to during board meetings.
All eyes in the room were on Dennis.
Dennis's hand, hanging loosely at his side, slowly clenched into a fist. His face was ashen, and he took a deep breath.
"The bet is over, Ian. The 20% of company shares you used to hold is now in my possession," he spat, his voice tight with anger. "Your presence at this meeting is a mere humiliation."
Ian glanced up at the clock on the wall.
Before he could say anything, Mr. Haley chimed in.
"What does it matter whether it's over or not? I'm sure Mr. Raymond has other plans. Besides, I've wanted to give him the 5% shares of the EcoTraverse Group since the beginning. He refused, and I had no choice but to hold onto them."
Mr. Haley was buttering up Ian, something he would never do when dealing with other members of the Raymond family.
What did Mr. Haley's words imply?
If he wanted to give the shares to Ian, it meant that Ian could win the bet. But he deliberately delayed until the end, intentionally arriving late.
Impossible!
A flash of disbelief followed by anger crossed Dennis's eyes.
"Mr. Haley, what do you mean by this?" he asked.
"Wasn't it obvious? Mr. Raymond didn't want to win."
Mr. Haley grabbed a file from the table, using it as a makeshift fan for Ian, as if afraid that the tense atmosphere in the room would make him too warm.
Jeff, standing on the other side of Ian, found Mr. Haley's fawning amusing.
No wonder the CEO had said earlier that Mr. Haley was a man who knew the right time to act.
The other members of the Raymond family in the room were starting to panic.

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....
