The door to the private room swung open, and he let his guard down, about to grab the woman when he heard
Carlene’s voice instead.
“lan?”
Carlene caught the smell of booze in the room and noticed lan’s off–kilter state. A glint of surprise sparkled in her
eyes. Was this a golden opportunity sent from the
heavens?
Quickly, she shed her coat, revealing her voluptuous figure.
“lan, you’re a bit off; let me help you out.”
As she approached, lan caught a whiff of a fragrance completely different from Maja’s.
Seeing lan not reacting, Carlene mistook it for acceptance and was about to kneet down to tease him. But lan just
leaned back with a nonchalant tone.
“Who let you in?”
Carlene didn’t catch his drift and was about to pounce when he shoved her away.
“Carlene, answer me.”
A bottle was flung across the room; the alcohol spilled amid broken glass, a sight that sent chills down the spine.
Carlene dropped to her knees in fright, her face turning pale in an instant.

But it was so frustrating!
“lan, let me take care of you.
can do better than Penny. I like you.”
lan’s face was icy cold, and the air seemed frozen solid.
“Fail to answer me, and the Shepard family can kiss their 300 million dollars goodbye.”
His tone was light, but he was threatening the Shepard family with bankruptcy.
Carlene immediately saw her weakness and was frozen in fear.
got a text from a stranger saying you were in this room. I just came to check; don’t be mad.”
At this moment, lan understood.
The drugs and rage were boiling in his chest, making
him
surprisingly lucid.
No wonder she was so forward all of a sudden, asking him out.
So that was her game.
He found it amusing, but his smile was terrifying.
Carlene, kneeling on the side, felt like she was being crushed under this silent pressure.
“Get Penny here, Carlene. You have half an hour.”
He meant that if he didn’t see Maja in half an hour, the 300 million dollars would be off the table.
Carlene’s pupils shrunk with disbelief in her eyes.
Even at this point, she was right in front of him. She could be his antidote; even if he hurt her, she would take it.
But he wanted Penny, his wife…
Hate filled Carlene’s eyes. If it weren’t for the pressure of the 300 million dollars, she would have pounced on him
without hesitation.
But she didn’t dare at the moment; all she could do was endure.
Tears streamed down her face as she trembled, feeling utterly humiliated.
Everyone said she was lan’s favorite woman, but he wouldn’t even look at her now, even showing a hint of disgust
in his eyes.
How humiliating! Nothing could be more humiliating than the man you love wanting another woman in front of you!
She cried as she tried to open the door, only to find it locked.
The private room door could be locked from the outside, and someone had locked it.
A glimmer of hope appeared in Carlene’s eyes again.
“lan, the door is locked. I can’t open it.”
Her voice was careful, and she started to undress.

But lan just leaned back, his noble demeanor still intact. Unless you got close, you wouldn’t know he was suffering.
“In half an hour, if she’s not here, the Shepard family’s broke.”
Carlene could no longer hold back her tears and started crying.
She wanted to scream and go crazy, but she couldn’t let the Shepard family go bankrupt!
She cried as she called Maja, but Maja didn’t pick up.
Carlene reached out to the Shepard family for help.
“Bring Penny back to this room within half an hour!”
But fifteen minutes passed, and she got a call back.

“Ms. Shepard, her phone suddenly turned off; there is no signal; no one knows where she is.”
Carlene stiffened; her face was pale as she looked at lan.
“lan, my people can’t find her. I’m truly sorry.”
The drug was too strong; lan was losing his mind, and he seemed to feel a burning pain all over.
He bowed his head and called BlueSky Bar.
The door to the private room was opened, and he saw Carlene trying to approach him, so he roared.
“Get out.”
Carlene was startled and dared not stay to irritate him further.
lan’s breathing became more labored, mustering his last bits of strength to make a call to Phelps Herrington.
That night, Phelps Herrington rushed him to the ER.
