Chapter 852
Dennis was off to the side, chuckling to himself in silent glee.
“Maureen, looked like you’ve also caught the news, huh? lan seemed to be going all in, shame he didn’t keep his
cool like Eric.”
Maureen didn’t respond. She knew exactly what this meant: a major reshuffling within the Raymond family.
Such a shuffle in a wealthy family was like a new game of poker–if it went well, it could bring in colossal wealth.
But if it failed, it would lead to endless suppression and exclusion.
“Eric, I only have one request: try to keep lan in the Raymond family. The family’s stocks have surged because of
him over the years. His achievements are no less than our father’s, and you became the CEO with your stock value
rocketing, all because of him.”
“Maureen, if we don’t completely solve the problem, it’s just going to rear its ugly head again. You wouldn’t want
Ryan to end up penniless, would you?” Maureen instantly fell silent. Years ago, she chose to marry a man from an
ordinary family just for love.
He was a teacher, an upright man, but not well–off. If his financial status were on par with the Raymond family, she
wouldn’t have rushed into decision–making.

moneyed lifestyle that there was no way he’d agree to live the hard life.
She sighed. “I get it.”
Their conversation was a harbinger of lan’s future.
Maureen started comforting herself. Maybe it would do lan some good to struggle a bit. After he bounced back, he
might see things more clearly.
Maureen had a great relationship with her husband. They were deeply in love. But sometimes, she wondered what
life would be like if she hadn’t married
him.
She probably wouldn’t have to rack her brains over these plots and schemes in the Raymond family, even though
she might lose some connections.
If she had to blame someone, it had to be Maja. She thought: She shouldn’t have appeared and messed up all the
plans!
Once Maureen gave up her shares, Dennis would have 30% of the claims, making him the second–largest
shareholder after lan.
Now, lan had inexplicably signed a risky agreement. All Dennis had to do was sit back and watch.
Dennis
After all, he had already communicated with the CEO of EcoTraverse Group. This was just a trap set for lan.
Dennis knew lan well. He was a madman at heart, nowhere near as rational as Eric, so even if he knew it was a
trap, he’d take the risk if there was a
one–in–a–thousand chance.
A smirk flickered in his eyes. Risk–taking was both lan’s strength and his greatest weakness.
After Maja returned to the Rosewood Manor, Coco kept rubbing against her feet. She wasn’t in the mood to deal
with it and just stared at the documents in front of her.
The documents were scattered on the floor, but she hadn’t noticed yet.
The computer showed that the Raymond Corporation and the EcoTraverse Group had successfully signed a
contract. As a financial genius in both Wall Street and Silicon Valley, what decision would lan, the CEO of the
Raymond Corporation, make?
A journalist in North America had just interviewed lan, and the content had just been released.
In the interview, lan seemed very friendly and answered the journalist’s questions carefully. His deep eyes
occasionally glanced at the camera, full of mirth.
He rarely accepted such interviews before, especially ones in front of the camera.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSo, the media in North America had been buzzing. When the video got into the country, netizens commented
enthusiastically.
He looked so stunning that the comment section was filled with voices praising him.
[Mr. Raymond is so handsome! Why didn’t he accept interviews before? Was he afraid he would attract attention?]
[If he were in the entertainment industry, I bet all the male celebrities would blush!]
[I’ve decided my favourite celebrity from now on is Mr. Raymond. He’s so handsome.]
[You guys only noticed his looks. Didn’t you realize he has dual degrees from prestigious universities, is a CEO, and
is super rich? I’d probably faint from happiness if he kissed me!]
[His lips are so thin and attractive. His Adam’s apple is also good–looking. Every part of him is good–looking. I want
to get close to him! I wish I could be in the same room with him!]
Netizens always had a knack for imagination, Seeing these comments, Maja felt a bit embarrassed.
She knew there would be hot discussions on the internet when she saw lan’s interview.
Her heart started pounding. She suddenly remembered the night when she was awakened by his presence. The
impact he had on her soul at that moment was indescribable.
Even thinking about it now, her heart raced as if it was about to jump out of her chest.
If netizens knew what he was like in private, they would probably go crazy.
