Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 845

After Jeff finished his spiel, the car conveniently came to a stop at the gate of the Raymond Villa.

Ian got out of the car and went straight to the top floor, finally meeting Pearson.

Pearson didn't exactly have the Raymond family's signature looks. He was above average, not particularly striking, but his eyes held the same sharpness as Dennis's. They seemed calm but were actually razor-sharp.

In some ways, this father and son were very much alike.

Pearson was the first to say hello. "Cuz, long time no see. How's it going?"

The day he joined the Raymond family, he didn't pay a visit to Ian. His position wasn't that significant, so he didn't need Ian to get involved.

After Eric passed away, everyone assumed that the finance-educated cousin would inherit the position.

But Holden chose Ian, clearly wanting him to take over the position that had originally belonged to his brother. Eric had only just passed away, so no one else had a say.

So when Selena said that this position was Dennis's, she wasn't wrong.

Ian himself had never intended to inherit the Raymond family.

When he took over Eric's position, the rest of the Raymond family was somewhat disgruntled.

Even though the Raymond family's stock kept rising during the years when Ian managed from abroad, proving he was a business genius on par with Eric.

But so what? In other people's eyes, he was just lucky. Eric had just happened to die.

Moreover, Ian's methods were even more ruthless than Holden's. He either bankrupted his opponents or forced them to admit defeat, all within the bounds of the law. He had a knack for business tactics that made people fear him, so everyone hoped he would step down.

Now that Dennis had finally stepped up, they can imagine how happy the others were.

Pearson looked at his cousin, barely able to hide his jealousy.

Why did the Raymond brothers share such good genes? They were handsome and competent.

When Eric was around, everyone felt suffocated by his aura.

When news of his death came, Pearson had even thrown a celebration with his father, thinking the Raymond heir would be him. But it turned out to be Ian, who had served in the military.

What the hell?

It would also show the rest of the Raymond family that despite the criticism he's faced due to personal issues, his business acumen was still the strongest among the Raymonds.

Ian put down the document in his hand, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

"The contract required me to purchase 5% of the EcoTraverse Group's shares within two months, and all future imports of the EcoTraverse Group will cooperate with the Raymond Corporation. Is that all?"

He smiled lightly and signed his name.

"Jeff, I'm going to meet with the president of the EcoTraverse Group. I'll personally sign the risk investment agreement with him."

Jeff was surprised. He had thought that Ian would refuse.

After all, the Raymond Corporation wasn't short of partnership projects. Even if the EcoTraverse Group was a top-tier corporation worldwide, there was no need to take such a significant risk. Especially since they had proposed a risk investment agreement, clearly targeting Ian personally, and he was actually going to sign the contract.

"Boss." Jeff was worried. Anyone with eyes could see that this wasn't a simple matter.

But Ian had already shifted his focus away from the contract, turning on his computer. He said to Jeff, "Have the chef send meals over to Maja later and don't forget to do this for all three meals every day. She's got stomach issues. Let the nutritionist take care of her health."

It seemed like, to him, this big project wasn't as crucial as Maja's eating habits.
