Chapter 1234
lan slumped into the chair nearby, his demeanor weary, yet his aura unbroken
“Eric, you really think I’d give up all my shares in the Raymond Corporation for just a bracelet? Do you take me for
a fool?”
A smirk curled at the corner of Patric’s mouth “Of course it’s not just a bracelet. As long as you sign the agreement,
I’ll bring Maja back to you Completely back to you “Alright”
Without any hesitation, lan rose from his seat
“On the day we sign that contract, I want to see her. The moment she’s here, I’ll sign the deal. Eric, don’t try to trick
me. If I go mad, I could bring down the entire Raymond family”
As he spoke, his eyes casually swept over their old family manor, showing no signs of attachment
Patric knew that lan was serious and would follow through with his threats.
But what does it matter? Once lan was no longer the CEO of the Raymond Corporation, he wouldn’t be able to use
the family’s influence
Once that happened. Patric planned to have him killed, right in front of Eric. That way, he could get rid of these two
brothers and take full control of the Raymond family

“Alright, lan wait for my news then!
The person behind all this, the one who was willing to deliver the bracelet to lar, must be on his side
Someone from the shadows wanted lan to lose everything
Patric didn’t know who was pulling the strings yet, but their intentions were clear
The enemy of his enemy could be his friend.
Even though Maja was not currently in his hands, as long as he could get the news out that lan was willing to give up
his shares, the puppet master would deliver Maja albeit temporarily
As tan exited the large manor gates, he spotted Steve coming in
Steve’s eyes flickered as he saw him, wanting to say something. But as they passed by each other, lan didn’t even
acknowledge him
This hardened Steve’s resolve to mend their relationship
Indeed, his young son was always a wolf that couldn’t be tamed.
Eric, on the other hand, was always obedient and gentle to his family members.
lan returned to his car, where Fitch asked. “Don’t you find this whole situation suspicious?”
lans gaze was focused outside, like a walking corpse.
But if one looked closely one would see the sharpness in his eyes
Fitch frowned. “Dylan has been aggressively obstructing the Raymond Corporation’s business lately. The media has
begun reporting on it. If it wasn’t for fear of your retaliation, I’m sure the reporters would have been spreading
news about your feud with Dylan like wildfire”
Right now it was just rumors. But it seemed that there was movement on the North American front as well
“lan, are you really giving up the Raymond Corporation?”
lan’s gaze returned to the interior of the car, his eyes icy cold
“All I want to know is if she’s still alive”
A bitter taste flooded Fitch’s heart
Recently, three different factions had been searching for Maja, but no one knew if she was still alive
So when Eric released this news, lan didn’t care what he had to lose anymore. He just wanted to see a living Maja
Even if it meant giving up everything he had in Greenfield
He was more than willing He relished the thought
He was already tormented by the bloodstains on the steps. He could only imagine how much pain Maja must have
been in at that time lan wished that he could bear all her pain
He had always wanted to keep her close, hidden in the deepest corner of his heart Yet, he always ended up losing

He had never desperately wanted to keep anything in his life
The only thing he ever wanted to hold onto, the entire world seemed to want him to lose
Why couldn’t he be the favored one?
The car was silent
Fitch became quiet What was love really? He truly didn’t understand
To create such a storm for a woman, to the point where he ended up with nothing was it worth it?
He wouldn’t be as foolish as lan
He had always kept love and lust separate
“Once you give up the CEO position at the Raymond Corporation, those you’ve thwarted in the past will retaliate
Since lan had taken the reins at the Raymond Corporation, its stock price had multiplied many times over This
success came at the expense of other companies f course they held grudges They just dedit dare to show it
because of his power
The moment he was no longer tan, no longer the CEO of the Raymond Corporation, the hounds hiding in the
shadows would come out to tear him apart
lan leuner back, his eyes as serene as a star–studded sky
