Chapter 1026
Tyler was baffled, wondering what sort of magic Maja possessed that had lan so smitten. Even in the face of
damning evidence, he was still defending
her.
And, he noticed, if he kept badmouthing Maja, he’d probably lose his brotherhood with lan.
So, he had to let it go, chuckling as he put down his wine glass.
“Who knew you were such a fool for love?”
lan ignored him. Now that he was with Maja, he was literally exuding a pink aura.
Tyler, a confirmed bachelor allergic to romance, pushed him away in distaste.
“Back off, mate. The stench of love is revolting.”
lan chuckled, the thought of Maja sweetening his every word.
“You’re just jealous.”
“Jealous that you’re now on a leash? Or that your assets will be divided in half? I, Tyler, would rather die than fall in
love. Casual flings are the best, mutual benefits, no obligations.
Tyler poured himself another drink, sneering at lan.

first place. Technically, she tricked you into it. Would you still have signed the papers if you knew she was your
wife?”
This jab hit close to home, leaving lan silent.
Aware that he’d hit a nerve, Tyler quickly changed the subject.
“Anyway, let’s drop it. Kudos to you for finding a woman you’d want to keep, unlike me, who gets bored after the
third time.”
His tone was louder than he’d intended, and many around them heard. Some were envious, others flipped him off.
Wasn’t this the dream of most men? Sleep with a beauty, no strings attached?
Most men just didn’t dare to admit it.”
Was Tyler bragging?
He poured himself another drink, a smirk curling his lips.
“Honestly, the woman who can tie me down probably hasn’t been born yet.”
His words had barely left his lips when his phone rang, causing his eyebrows to knit together. He answered the call.
Upon hearing the news, his face darkened.
“What? Are they recasting my role? I’ll be right there!”
Tyler stood up, patting lan on the shoulder.
“There’s a snag in the new series I’m working on. Also, Fitch won’t be joining us tonight, and his car got into a
fender–bender.”
Once Tyler left, nobody dared to approach lan.
lan left the VIP room after a few minutes.
Stepping into the corridor, he ran into Samuel, a long–lost acquaintance. Samuel looked like he wanted to punch lan
right then and there.
“lan, when it comes to being cunning, you take the cake. I didn’t know my old man had so many skeletons in the
closet.”
Samuel had been abroad settling the mess his father had created.
Daniel was a scoundrel, and he had an illegitimate son abroad. If the son returned, Samuel would have to share his
inheritance.
Upon learning this, Samuel immediately flew abroad to handle the situation.
He didn’t expect that the woman who bore Daniel’s son was also a formidable opponent. It took him considerable
effort to finally settle the matter. But, on his return, he heard that lan and Maja were together.
What a farce.

“Well, it was your dad who caused all this. I only informed you to prevent you from losing your fortune. You should
be thanking me.”
Samuel came closer, and his usually jovial face was now devoid of any smile.
“I should thank you. If it weren’t for someone advising that woman behind the scenes, I could’ve returned earlier.”
“Would it have made a difference if you came back earlier? Maja has a strong sense of integrity in relationships,
and you’ve slept with numerous women. Do you think she’d want you?”
Samuel’s clenched fists trembled at his sides. In the end, he didn’t say anything else and just walked into the VIP
room.
lan didn’t need to do anything himself for this scheme to work. A simple phone call to order someone else to do it
was enough.
He flicked the ash off his cigarette, his eyes heavy with worry.
Samuel was serious.

He suddenly felt anxious. They’d only been together for a few days, yet he felt threatened.
