Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 848

Now she had got a fork over three hundred grand to Murray. The building's not even finished yet, and the mortgage still needed to be paid. If she didn't cough up the cash, she'll be labeled a "deadbeat."

She pulled herself together and pocketed a check for half a million.

Thank God, the guy was generous with the price, and, luckily, he was into her.

Being his sex toy three times a week, she felt like she was making quite a killing.

She added him on WhatsApp, but he didn't bother to respond to her messages. Probably still feeling off, she thought.

Zoey found it hilarious and pathetic at the same time. She never thought she'd turn into the kind of woman she despised the most.

When the three hundred grand hit Murray's account, he was taken aback. Where did she get that kind of money?

They had wiped out their savings for the down payment. In such a short span of time, she managed to pull out so much cash.

Murray gave Zoey a call, his tone still gentle.

"Zoey, where did you get three hundred grand?"

Now, even the sound of his voice disgusted her. Seven years of emotional investment, only to end up like this.

She used to shower him with all the sweet words in the world, but when the truth came out, she realized she had only understood a part of him.

She was young and naive when she met him. All she couldn't let go of were just the memories of her youth.

"Murray, let's not see each other again."

Murray felt a pang in his chest when he heard this.

He never wanted things to turn sour this way. His ideal plan was to marry Evelyn, get her wealth, and then keep Zoey on the side.

Zoey was the type of woman who was suited for family life and would keep everything spick and span, but she was too conservative in bed, unlike Evelyn, who was more adventurous.

Men always wanted a woman who can play the role of a good wife in social situations and at home but also be passionate in bed. With an excellent financial status, Evelyn was a wildcat in bed, while Zoey was the perfect wife.

"All this is because of you. Not long ago, he transferred one-tenth of his shares. Now, Dennis is actively collecting shares and offering huge benefits to other members of the Raymond family. If I also give my shares to Dennis, then they will have one-third of the shares. Do you understand what that means?"

Maja stopped in her tracks.

Maureen scoffed, not understanding what Ian saw in her.

"This means that Dennis is only short of my father's shares to become president. My father is already disappointed in Ian, and the shares issue is a punishment for Ian. This contract is with the EcoTraverse Group, a top luxury car brand in the world. Once successful, all domestic cooperation opportunities of the EcoTraverse Group will be given to the Raymond Corporation. But if it fails, Ian will have to give up another one-fifth of his shares. By then, it will be much easier for Dennis to deal with him! The EcoTraverse Group's goal is clear and confident, and they chose to propose this 'bet' at this critical moment. I worry that their president and Dennis are already in cahoots, waiting for Ian to fall into their trap. All this is because of you, Maja. You should tell Ian now, tell him: no matter what he does, you won't like him. Let him not sign that agreement!"

Maja knew Ian had let go of his shares, but she never thought he could do something crazier!

A gamble? Ian was using one-fifth of his shares as a bet?

Has he lost his mind?

She felt a wave of panic, and her palms were sweaty.
