Chapter 801
lan’s face was stone cold. He gently touched his cheek, speaking in an icy tone.
“If my brother knew I gave up my shares for the one I fancy, he’d probably be chuffed.”
Maureen was speechless, opening her mouth but with no words coming out.
In the Raymond family, no one was ever head over heels in love. Like Dennis and Carl, they all had other women.
Who would’ve thought lan was willing to make such a sacrifice for Maja?
lan lifted his head, glancing at everyone present.
“I’ll have Jeff handle the share transfer. Notify me once the emergency situation here is over.”
With that, he turned to leave.
Unable to hold back, Maureen asked, “That’s your mother lying in there, lan. Can’t you even bear to stay a little
longer?”
“Auntie, I standing here won’t change the outcome of the emergency.”
A chill ran down Maureen’s spine. She realized she really didn’t understand this kid.
He appeared naive to the ways of the world, yet he handled everything in the Raymond family with ease.
Yet he seemed to lack the usual emotions towards family and love, appearing indifferent.

He liked her, even loved her.
lan had left the hospital. He didn’t know this was love; he just didn’t want Maja to be interrogated by these people.
When he got into his car, he didn’t drive to the police station.
He hoped she would learn something from this experience. A bit of suffering at the police station could be good for
her.
Leave her there for a few days before getting her out; she might be more grateful to him.
This was a strategy he often used in business, letting subordinates struggle a bit more so they’d be more loyal.
When he drove back to the Raymond family’s place, he was surprised at how calm he was.
But noticing his grip on the steering wheel, he realized he wasn’t as calm as he thought.
Maja was a heartless woman. If he went to the police station to rescue her now, she probably wouldn’t even look at
him.
Only if he went when she was most desperate could he win her heart.
By now, he had the Raymond family under control. No one would go to the police station to bother her; at most,
she’d just be questioned by the police, causing her some mental stress.
To stop himself from going to the police station, lan scheduled several meetings for himself, each lasting around
three hours.
Meanwhile, Maja was at the police station, the harsh lights preventing her from resting. It was like being locked in a
dark room.
“Why did you hurt Selena? Did you guys have any previous disputes? Think carefully before you answer; every word
you say can be used as evidence.” Maja tried to open her eyes to see who was speaking, but she couldn’t see
anything.
After four hours of questioning, she was taken to a small room..
Thankfully, there was a narrow bed in the room where she could rest.
She sat on the bed, reflecting on the day’s events.
Her cousin jumped off a building; Connie framed her for self–harm; and the situation outside was probably bad.
She leaned against the wall, trying to recall everything that happened at the Raymond family’s, but the more she
thought, the heavier her heart became. Connie must’ve planned everything in advance; there were no cameras
and no witnesses.
The Raymond family would definitely pin all the blame on her.
She was very agitated, partly due to Leo’s death and partly due to the responsibility she bore.
At eight in the evening, Zoey and Elvis came to visit. They had somehow found out about the situation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZoey had been feeling down recently, but she hadn’t cried. Now, seeing Maja behind the glass, she couldn’t hold
back her tears.
“Mr. Pennyfeather, what do we do? We should hire a lawyer to fight the case.”
Elvis pushed up his glasses and said, “I heard Selena is still in emergency; there’s a high chance she’ll become a
vegetable.”
Maja’s lips were sealed tightly. After a while, she said, “Go to BlueSky Bar; find Beck there.”
She couldn’t prove her innocence; her only hope now was outside help.
The Sanders family were top–notch elites; they had connections with Greenfield’s higher–ups, and Beck might be
able to do something
Maja began giving them instructions.
“Also, don’t worry too much. Keep the company running as usual. Our first drama made a lot of money, and there
will be continuous income in the future. We’re about to start fundraising for Tyler’s movie, which we invested in. You
can start preparing for the second web series. Wilma is tentatively set as the lead actress; you guys choose the rest
of the cast, After get out, go find Wilma.

Even at a time like this, she was more concerned about work than whether she could get out.
