Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 544

Now, Holden Raymond realized he’d been with another woman, but only made him kneel overnight.

Compared to the harsh punishment he got when his affair was first discovered, this was nothing.

This showed that Holden was beginning to wobble, just needing the right opportunity.

And he was waiting for that opportunity.

Inside the Shepard family mansion.

Carlene Shepard had been fuming all night.

When someone is utterly livid, they can hardly utter a word. She felt like her throat had gone hoarse.

Tess had been anxiously knocking on the door from outside, trying to soothe her.

"Carlene, we can talk through whatever it is."

Carlene's lips had turned pale, tears streaming down her face.

She felt utterly humiliated, more so than any other time in her life, especially after finding out that Maja was Penny.

She thought she had the upper hand, but in reality, she had been played like a fiddle.

She cried all night, her eyes swollen from the tears, and she shook uncontrollably at the thought of it all.

Tess had the butler bring the spare key and opened the door.

"You haven't talked to Edith in the past few days. She's the one who supports you the most, you can't slack off."

The entire Shepard family was banking on her marrying into the Raymond family.

Carlene's eyes were red and swollen; she croaked out, "There's no chance." She had no chance left.

Ian would soon find out.

Tess frowned, cupping her face gently.

"Carlene, calm down, no matter what Ian thinks right now, there's still a chance, as long as you dare to take risks, hasn't Ian been pursuing you all along?"

Take risks? At this point, Carlene was ready to go down in flames.

Even if it meant going down, she was taking Maja with her.

That disgusting person had fooled her like she was an idiot!

"Carlene..."

She took a deep breath, her lips pressed tight.

"Mom, I know what I need to do."

Tess pulled her up, "That's more like it, when I was trying to marry your father, I had to endure a lot, so I've always told you not to act impulsively, there's always a solution."

Right, there's always a solution.

She thought: she could still use Eric.

Carlene immediately went to the beauty salon to reduce the swelling in her face, then made herself up beautifully, and then went to have tea with Edith.

Ian gripped the handle tightly, pulling Maja into his arms.

All Maja could see was the floor of the car, and the sound of guns being assembled filled her ears.

The car window was opened, and the wind howled as it blew in.

Maja thought for a moment before picking up the remaining guns in the box, assembling them proficiently.

Ian looked at her in surprise, and she replied, "When I was studying at the Imperial University, I went to military training and learned a lot."

Seeing the speed at which she put together the guns, Ian knew she had learned a lot in the army.

A loud crash came from outside the car as one of the cars' windshields was shattered by Ian's shot, killing the driver instantly.

Engaging in such a chase on the highway, one lapse in attention could cost you your life.

Ian was worried about her hands, considering she was still recovering.

"Don't push yourself, I can handle these guys."

He pulled her into his arms and shot another man during a sharp turn.

Maja realized his shooting skills were really good. No wonder Holden said he had been a soldier and had achieved much at a young age.

At this moment, Ian was no longer the noble young master of the business world, but a battle-hardened warrior.

With Maja pressed against him, he could only feel her warm breaths.

The wind was roaring around them, but she could hear her own heartbeat.
