Chapter 623
The mansion was out in the sticks, with a handful of bodyguards kneeling on the ground, clearly in a tight spot.
“Boss, we’ve tried everything, but the security at Rosewood Manor is a work of art by Holden himself. We just can’t
crack it.”
Holden had spent years in the military, and with his high rank, and the security he set up was absolutely foolproof.
Even a pro couldn’t get through.
What’s more, there were hardly any servants at Rosewood Manor, just a few who’d been working there for over
three years, with Maria doing a headcount every day. No way they could blend in with them.
There were only a dozen or so servants, the rest were all security, personally trained by Holden himself. They’re as
loyal as they came.
If the item was in Rosewood Manor, they would have to get Maja to bring it out herself.
A man in a mask sat in the middle on a red chair, radiating an aura of bloodshed.

Blood seeped from his hand.
Nobody dared to meet his gaze, and all heads were bowed.
One suggested, “Boss, maybe we could just kidnap Ms. Pennyfeather.”
No sooner had he spoken, a gunshot rang out, and the man who had made the suggestion hit the deck.
The masked man nonchalantly wiped the smoking gun barrel, sounding totally relaxed.
“If I could lay a hand on her, the item would already be back in my hands instead of having us running around in
circles.”
He slowly got up, walked over to the body and looked down from above.
The bullet had hit right between the eyes, and he was beyond saving.
“Find out the whereabouts of the item without harming her, and be quick about it. Fitch may be having doubts
about the authenticity of the notebook.”
The last time, the notebook was sent out by Maja. The man had thoroughly checked, and to throw Fitch off, he had
deliberately erased all the clues.
So Fitch still had no idea that the notebook was a fake.
Nobody dared to speak, just nodded slowly.
The man rubbed his brow and suddenly kicked over a chair next to him in anger, “Also, look into lan’s businesses
overseas.”
“Got it.”
At 5 am sharp, Maja woke up.
She got out of bed quietly, got ready, and sorted out the documents from the night before.
At 6 o’clock, she knocked on the bedroom door.
“Mr. Raymond, time to get up.”
Ian frowned and rolled over impatiently.
Maja set off the alarm clock next to her, and he was instantly wide awake.
His robe was undone, revealing a large part of his chest.

He gestured towards the wardrobe after getting out of bed.
Maja was a bit annoyed, but she went to the wardrobe, and took out a new suit and a tie.
lan put them on, and she carefully tied his tie for him.
He couldn’t help wanting to kiss her, but she avoided him.
“I haven’t brushed my teeth yet.”
Maja was really good at killing the mood.
lan found it amusing, and after he got ready, he went to the Raymond Corporation, with Maja as his driver.
However, when they got to the Raymond Corporation he found Maureen Raymond was also there.
Maureen had come over after hearing the gossip. Now seeing lan openly with Maja, her face turned serious.
“Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at, having a married woman by your side?”
“Penny is divorced.”
After saying that, he sat behind his desk, then added, “Because of me.”
He seemed a bit proud when he said that.
