The man was fast asleep his namaw and sharp eyes hat closed
Maya Pennyfeather struggled to get up from the bed Her back curved to a gcnful arc, visible and
hidden under her long hair She was just about to pick up her clothes from the floor when a cold we
came from behind her
How much money do you want?”
There was no emotion in his voice. The passion and list hom last nights drunkenness had faded
Maja band paused in the act of grabbing her clothes. The funny thing was she had been maned to this
man for the years, and yet he had no idea who she was
Three years ago, she saved Holden Raymond’s Me At that time, her fathers company was facing the
first mund of financial difficulties Holdon offered to let her marry his grandson, lan, and invested three
hundred million into her family’s business.
Ian was nowhere to be seen throughout the whole process it wasn’t until after they had registered the
marriage that she found out he had gone abroad
For three years, she had been Mrs. Raymond in nome only, and the laughingstock of town. She never
expected that the first meeting would be in bed.
“I dont need money”
She put on her clothes. Her head was a mess because of the hangover; fell like it was about to
explode.
If you don’t want money, are you planning to stick to me?”
lan chuckled lightly Has eyes looked sharp and scrutinized her without reserve

woman, but that was. Just another woman who had taken the intiative to throw herself at him, only this
time she had succeeded
The man withdrew his gare. Tl give you what you deserve, but if you’m imagining anything else, I
suggest you get it out of your head right now.”
Although he was drunk last night, given his character he wouldn’t lose control over a woman. It must
have been something in the drink she gave him.
By then, Maja was already dressed. Last night many sectables and prominent people had attended the
Raymond family’s banquet. Everyone wanted to meet the man who was about to take over the family
business.
Maja arved late, and although Holden was not in the country at the time, he had specifically instructed
her to attend the banquet. She just wanted to make an appearance and leave, but her father stopped
her and handed her two glasses of whe
He suggested she have a face to face talk with lan since he was back
But then that happened…
Maja was well aware of lon’s resistance to the mariage. So, how could she make him believe that what
happened last night was not her doing? A hint of helplessness flashed in her eyes. After a two–second
silence, she opened her mouth to speak. “Actually….
The cel phone on the bedside table started to vibrate.
Jan glanced at It was a call from his personal lawyer
He put the call on speaker, and a respectful male voice came from the other end, “Mr. Raymond, I’ve
amied at Ms. Pennyleather’s apartment She’s not home. Should I send the divorce agreement to the
Pennyfeather family’s address?”
lan got up and walked to the large floor–to–ceiling window, frowning at the riverview in the distance. He
had no impression of this so called wife of three years.
He had heard from Holden that she was kind and gentle, with an outstanding education, but so what?
Now the Pennyfeather family had weathered the crisis, and they had also paid the favor she had done
for Holden.
Theman’s voice was cold and ruthless, First, try to contact her and get her to sign the divorce
agreement. If she’s not cooperative, then contact the Pennyfeather family….
Maja picked up her own phone to check for missed work messages. She paused for a moment when
she heard the words divorce agreement from him. Her phone screen showed a message from her
father Hell
“Maja, did you leave early last night? Cristina asked me to ask you, did lan drink that glass of wine? 1
Maja lowered her head,[“Wasn’t that the glass of wine you gave me, Dad?]
[“Cristina gavel to me. If you’re not busy with work today, go to the hospital to see your sister She said
she misses you.]
Maja fell troubled She understood that all of this was orchestrated by that woman,
Neil noticed that she didn’t respond. What’s wrong? Are you drunk?]
He thought she was suffering from a hangover and quickly asked her if she needed any hangover
medicine His tone was full of concern
Maja was in her thoughts. Her mother had passed away early and her father had run the company
alone, which had taken a toll on him over the years Henares when Maja was a freshman and had never
ill treated her in any way.
Shedidn’t want to bring this up and suppressed her unease and agitation, “I’m fine Ilgo see Tricia later
Tell Cristina that I appreciate her thoughtfulness”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOn the other side, lan’s call was still in progress. The topic seemed to have switched to business
She looked up, the light outside the window was shining on the man’s shoulders. He was casually
wearing a white robe. His figure was like a backit photograph. His face was handsome, but the lines of
his profile were exceptionally cold, giving a sense of unfriendliness and coldness.
Maja put away her phone, turned around to push open the door and walked out
Since lan was already preparing for the divorce process, it would be quite awkward if he found out he
had skept with his contractual wife he didn’t like for the years. It was better to just let it be and part
ways amicably
lan hung up the phone and only then remembered the strange woman in the room he hadn’t finished
communicating with
He turned around to see an eerily silent room. The woman was already gone. He couldn’t help but
frown.
The bedsheet was half pulled off in a mess. The crumpled dress shirt was thrown at the foot of the bed.
Red wine and an enticing scent were mixed together
He rubbed his forehead. If it weren’t for the obvious dark red stain on the sheet, he would have thought
the woman he saw when he woke up was just an fusion.
There was a knock at the door and the voice of his secretary, Jeff, carne from outside. Mr. Raymond.”
“Come in,”
The door was pushed open and Jeff held a brand new suit. Seeing the scene in the room, he was full of
confusion, but didn’t ask further. He put down the clothes and respectfully left
lan went to the bathroom for a shower After dressing up, he walked out.
Jeff respectfully hung back half a step, trailing behind. As they stepped outside, lan suddenly halted,
“Who was the lady sneaking out of my room this morning?”
