Maja kept sent, but Maxwell seemed surprised and asked. Tan is married?
Ryan sighed. “He’s been hitched for awhile I heard he’s already contacted a lawyer to start the divorce
process.”

This was the first time Maxwel had heard about this, and he was intrigued thought the house in
Greenfield Gardens was lan’s mantal home. Turns out he’s been married for a while, So, he plans to be
there by himself?
Ryan invited them to sit down and casually said, “Kinda like a marital home, I guess. My cousin doesn’t
really like his current wife. He was pushed into the marriage. He used to have someone he led, so the
house might have been designed for that woman After saying this, he handed a glass of juice to Maja

Ryan liked her calm and humble attitude and spoke again. “If it’s really successful you should indeed
treat me to ameal. We will give you a reasonable design lee, and this is a doskin project for my cousin.
Your reputation will definitely skyrocket Maanodded. She understood that if this project was successful
she could elevate her own fame, successfully enter the social stratum that lan was a part of, and the
studio’s business would take off.
At the other end of the comdoc a tall man oozing an intimidatingly unfriendly aura opened the door to
one of the rooms.
Just as he stepped in his phone rang. Seeing that it was Ryan calling, lan frowned but didn’t answer.
The man next to him found his expression amusing. What’s the matter? You seen upset, and you just
anived. Who dared to cross you?”
The room was spacious with quite a few people, but there were social class differences even within this
social circle.
lan belonged to the top bet and those around him were all society’s elites. The rest of the people
tactfully moved away as soon as hewalked in.
Tyler handed him a glass of wine. The man had long fingers and delicate features, exuding a laid–back
and elegant temperament, is it because of the divorce? I heard the lady doesn’t want to sign.”
lan’s plan to divorce was no secret, and soon, this news would reach lan’s father.
lan took off his cufflinks and handed them to a water nearby, casually sitting on the sofa emanating an
imposing aura “She’ll sign sooner or later. She knows better than anyone why we got married in the
first place,”
He spoke uncaringly, obviously not wanting to dwell on it. He wasn’t upset tonight because of his wife,
but because of the woman he had just met.
He couldn’t understand why her response in bed was so unexperienced, even though she had been

girlfriends.
Men’s private conversations often had no holds barred, lan didn’t used to care about these things, but
now he couldn’t help but listen in.
“So, she was playing innocent? How did you deal with it when you found out the truth?”
“What else could I do? I broke up with her. That woman fooled me. If it weren’t for my friend at the
hospital recognizing her I would’ve married her. Tums out the kid in her belly wasn’t mine She even
wanted me to raise the kel. Me, support her and her child? She

For these wealthy and idle men, their casual conversation topics often revolved around women.
“Modem women are no pushovers. They would pretend according to your wishes. What do they call it,
precision hunting? Maybe the kid’s father is someone you know. The more innocent a woman loaks,
the more likely shes been toying around…
Ian’s grip on his glass suddenly tightened. The image of Majalooking down and certain memories from
last night flashed across his mind. Everything in his memory was clear, and a wave of imitation washed
over him
Just then, Ryan called to urge him to go down to the private room, saying he wanted to talk face to
face.
