Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 329

He's holding flowers in one hand and taking a call with the other.

The call is from Jeff.

"Mr. Raymond, we intercepted the Pennyfeather family's business before. Now Neil's in the hospital, and his assistant is handling business. They're planning to sign a deal with a company that Raymond Corporation blacklisted. The deal was a trap that could have cost billions of dollars. The Pennyfeather family probably doesn't have that kind of cash flow. If they sign this deal, they might go bankrupt."

Jeff got wind of this from a friend, and considering this involves Mr. Raymond's wife, he thought he'd give Mr. Raymond a heads up. Maybe he should give Mrs. Raymond a call.

But Ian has long been fed up with the Pennyfeather family's antics. Upon hearing this news, he didn't react, just responded calmly.

"If the Pennyfeather family goes bankrupt, it's none of my business."

The words echoed in Maja's ears, stopping her in her tracks. She turned to look at him.

It seemed like only then did Ian notice her. He casually looked away. Then he told the person on the phone, "I'm at the hospital with Carlene."

After hanging up, he took the elevator up with Maja.

That sentence kept echoing in Maja's head. She didn't understand why Ian would say something like that. Had he received some news?

Through the reflection in the elevator, Ian was also watching her.

The events of that night didn't seem to have left any mark on her.

On the contrary, he felt a bit ridiculous for thinking about taking responsibility for her the next day.

She had someone to take responsibility for her now, so what did her actions that night even mean?

He chose to let Fitch erase the traces of that night because he didn't want to be a man who broods over such things.

His face was cold as he lowered his head.

"Mr. Raymond."

Just as they were about to exit the elevator, Maja stopped him.

Ian looked back at her, his tone indifferent, "What is it?"

"What did you mean by what you just said?"

"Ms. Shepard was injured; I was injured too; we fought."

"I've already seen the surveillance footage."

He cut her off. "Carlene didn't hurt you, Penny. Considering you're still in charge of the Greenfield Gardens design, I don't want you to get involved in legal troubles and have a criminal record, which would cause you a lot of trouble in life."

Maja had considered this issue. Now Carlene has the right to ask for injury identification. She had an illusion that Ian was asking her to apologize, even helping her.

Carlene might just embarrass and scold her if Ian steps in, but she won't pursue responsibility further.

But is that possible? How could Ian help her? Carlene is his beloved.

She didn't say anything but quietly returned to her room.

Ian stood outside in the corridor, didn't enter Carlene's room, but looked towards Maja's side.

She had been alone in the hospital for so long; didn’t she have anyone to visit her?

Did she still not want to divorce?
