Chapter 600
lan’s cheerful mood quickly turned sour, his aura noticeably colder.
He looked out the window, “Let’s head back to the hotel.”
Back in the hotel room, lan had just come out from a shower when he heard the doorbell.
Upon opening the door, he saw the lobby manager standing outside, respectfully holding a small suitcase
“Sir, this was left by one of the servants from Rosewood Manor. They said it’s your luggage from there.”
lan glanced at the ridiculously cheap suitcase that looked like something they’d pick up for a few bucks:
His eyebrows furrowed, a glint of disgust in his eyes, “Trash it.”
The manager hesitated for a moment, sensing lan’s annoyance, and quickly nodded.
Slamming the door shut, lan took out his phone, found Maja’s private number, and deleted it. He didn’t plan on
having any more contact with this woman. Out of sight, out of mind.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe didn’t know that Maja had deleted his number from her phone earlier that evening when the servant brought
the suitcase.
But she kept his work number, after all, the project at Greenfield Gardens still needed to be finished.
As she was about to rest, her work phone received a message from lan.
“Heard your hubby’s back?”
Maja didn’t reply. As soon as the job at Greenfield Gardens was done, she’d first delete lan’s number from this
phone too.
When lan got no reply to his first message, he sent a second one.
“I left my ring in your room last night, woke up and couldn’t find it.”
The ring?
She suddenly remembered the ‘pigeon egg‘ he was holding.
Though lan was a jerk, he’d gifted a bracelet worth millions before. This ring probably wasn’t cheap either. She
didn’t want him to use this ring as an excuse to contact or manipulate her later.
“Mr. Raymond, I’ll look for it tomorrow.”
In other words, it was too late now.
But of course, lan, the kind of person who only understood when others accommodated him, didn’t get the hint.
“Find it now and send it over, or I’ll come and fetch it myself.”
Maja was fuming. What’s wrong with this guy?
She took a deep breath, got up, and checked the time–it was already eleven.
Only he would bother people at this hour without a hint of an apology.
Well, he’s lan, after all.
Determined to cut ties with him, she went out, got in her car, and drove to RosenGarden.
She was seething the entire way. Her chest felt like a ticking bomb.
His profession of ‘liking her‘ seemed more ridiculous by the minute!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBack in her room at RosenGarden, she started looking for the ring.
Given its size, it should’ve been easy to find, but she scoured every inch of the room without any luck.
Meanwhile, at the hotel, lan was toying with the ring in front of him.
He’d found the ring the morning after, one of the items she’d knocked over. He couldn’t just leave it there.
It was his competitive nature kicking in.
If she didn’t want it, he won’t give it to her. He’d rather throw it away.
Little did he know, he could still use this to threaten her.
[Found it yet?]
Maja, now exhausted, lying on the bed, sweating.
[No, my house has been robbed a few times. It might have been stolen.]
[What now?]
[Mr. Raymond, you can call the cops. I need to rest. Please stop bothering me.]
Seeing her reply, lan wasn’t pleased and started taunting her.
【What, you got a husband to sleep with?]
Even through the screen, Maja could feel his sarcasm and mockery.
