Chapter 595
lan looked a bit perplexed, but he still got what Tyler was saying.
He put down his glass with a faint smirk on his lips.
“I offered her a billion, and she tore up the check and threw it in my face. I only asked for a month of her time. Did
she feel ripped off?”
Tyler stifled a laugh, unable to picture such a scene, but it was totally something Penny might do.
He quickly raised his glass.
“Bottom line, you’re getting a divorce tomorrow. Your grandpa probably won’t care who you’re intò anymore. You
should properly apologize to Penny. She must’ve been freaked out today. After all, women need some sweet talk. If
you don’t butter her up, someone else will.”
They both knew who that someone else was without saying it out loud.
After all, lan and Penny were only secret lovers
But this guy clearly didn’t have the awareness of being a lover.
When Maja woke up at 3 a.m. to the sound of the doorbell outside the living room, she initially thought she had
heard wrong and rolled over in bed.
She hadn’t been able to sleep for the two nights when lan had blindfolded her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOr rather, she hadn’t slept much since her father passed away a week ago.
Now she was exhausted, knowing that it was him. Her mental burden wasn’t as heavy.
Either way, once or twice, it was torture.
The doorbell rang for ten minutes. Rita across the hall couldn’t stand it and opened her own door, only to see the
man standing outside. She immediately held her breath, swallowed the curse she was about to hurl, quickly stepped
back and closed the door..
She was afraid that one second slower and she would be spotted by him.
lan reeked of alcohol as he tirelessly rang the doorbell:
But Maja never opened the door. Someone had made a scene at her door all night, and she could sleep soundly, let
alone just a doorbell ringing now.
Half an hour later, Maja still hadn’t opened the door. Ian skillfully took out his key and let himself in.
And Rita across the hall was standing at her own door all this time and only let out a sigh of relief when she saw
through the peephole that the man had gone in
She had learned her lesson, and ever since she was scared by Maja, she hadn’t had any other ideas.
lan entered the room, ripped off his tie, and called out, “Penny?”
No response.

He was thirsty and wanted a drink.
He went to the bedroom, saw a lump on the bed, so he lifted the blanket, and wanted to lie down.
Maja woke up immediately when she smelled the faint scent of alcohol.

Then she quickly got out of bed, startled to see the man lying next to her.
The fear of being controlled insanely reappeared. She suppressed her discomfort, carefully got out of bed, didn’t
even dare to put on her coat in the bedroom, grabbed her clothes and wanted to leave.
But when her hand touched the bedroom door handle, she heard a voice behind her.
“Where are you going?”
At this moment, she felt a little scalp tingling.
It was already three–thirty in the morning, so she didn’t understand why lan was here.
“Mr. Raymond.”
lan had already gotten up and was leaning against the head of the bed.
He was still in his suit, but his tie was discarded in the living room, his shirt buttons undone to his chest, revealing his
muscular body.
The bedside lamp wasn’t turned off. The dim light and his slightly drunken breath were quite a match.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMaja stood still, watching him slowly get off the bed and approach.
She leaned tightly against the door.
One of his hands propped next to her head, “Penny, what would it take for you to divorce your husband? If you
don’t need the money, tell me, what do you need?”
As long as he could give it, he was willing to give it.
Maja didn’t answer. Her character sometimes really made people feel aggrieved.
lan remembered Tyler’s advice. Women needed to be coaxed.
With patience, he looked down at her, his eyes filled with seriousness apart from the drunkenness.
“After the divorce, be with me. Whatever you want, I can give you.”
His voice was very low. He took one of her hands, and suddenly pulled out a ring from his suit jacket.
The ring had a huge diamond, as big as a pigeon’s egg.
In his understanding, he really couldn’t think of any other way to please her.
“I’m sorry for what happened these past few days.”
At this sentence, a flicker of surprise flashed in Maja’s eyes.
Was a person like lan actually apologizing to someone?
Did she hear wrong?
