Chapter 1132
Watching any footage with Maja in it now, he could feel a faint throbbing in his cheeks.
His phone buzzed at that moment. It was a text from an unknown number
[Is Maja pregnant?]
That message ignited lan’s temper instantly Without hesitation, he dialed the number. The call was answered but no
one spoke
lans Adam’s apple bobbed, and he was suddenly at a loss for words After a long silence, he finally asked, “Where
are you?
A soft laugh echoed from the other end, then the call ended
lan’s fist collided with the table next to him. He dialed again ordering his men to locate Patric immediately
Annoyed, he ripped off his tie and slumped back into his chair.
The live broadcast of the ceremony was nearing its end. He stood up, grabbing his suit jacket, and left the Raymond
Corporation without a second
thought
When he arrived at the BlueSky Bar, he ran into Phelps.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was rare to encounter this man, as Phelps was always busy.
But today, with Fitch and Tyler absent, Phelps joined him for a drink.
Halfway through their drinks, he asked. “Did you and Maja really break up? The rumors are all about you and Judith
now”
lan leaned back, the five–fingered mark on his cheek more prominent than ever.
“We broke up“.
“How did it happen“”
lan rubbed his cheek, trying to stay sober. But the more he tried, the quicker he got drunk.
“How does it usually happen? One person just stops liking the other
Did you stop liking her?”
Phelps thought Maja liked lan. So, did that mean it was lan who stopped liking Maja?
“No way!
lan, when your bet with the EcoTraverse Group was exposed, Maja was very worried. And I heard she lost a child
because of you, is that true?”
lans fingers stiffened around his glass, That child was my fault. I didn’t protect her.”
He took another sip, his eyes swimming with intoxication.
“Her concern for you seemed genuine Why do you think she doesn’t like you?”
lan lowered his gaze, staring at the drink in his hand. After a while, he rasped, 1 said she doesn’t like me because of
my lack of confidence. I’ve always lost to Eric. He was her first love, how could I possibly win against him? It’s
natural for her to like my brother He’s superior, you know.”
Drunk as he was, he was speaking truthfully
“He’s so good that she an independent woman, was willing to risk having a child for him. She came to me because
of him. Eric’s been dead for six years and she’s still not forgotten him Enc, my always superior brother”
He slumped onto the table, his eyes blurry as he stared at his glass.
“Huh, why did the glass get so tall all of a sudden?”
Phelps twitched his lips, massaging his forehead. Tll take you home”
I’m not going back Her scent is all over that room, it makes me uncomfortable!
“Why dont you get the place cleaned?”
“Cleaned?”
lan slurred, he was the drunkest he’d ever been “Phelps, why did you get so tall all of a sudden?”
“Yes, cleaned Then you wont be able to smell it
1 won’t be able to smell it? Then I won’t be able to sleep

No way, I’m lan, how could I be my brather s
He laid his head down, his mind was far from cle He fell like he had so many grievances to vent
Phelps rarely went out, who would have thought he would encounter a drunkard
He wanted to take lan home, but lan refused to move from the table
Phelps had known lan for many years, but this was the first time he sa fum this drunk
He wanted to call Maja, but considering their current conflict, he called Fitch instead
Fitch arrived quickly, and together, they managed to get lan to his feet
Chapter 1132
As they reached the entrance of the BlueSky Bar, lan thought he saw Maja watching him. He pushed Phelps away
and lunged for a small statue near the
entrance
The statue was about his height. He clung to it and refused to let go.
Fitch was worried about being seen by others. Feeling embarrassed, he quickly ordered a few bodyguards to load
the statue onto a truck and take it home.
