Chapter 549
This woman has lived in Selena’s memory for thirty years. Now that she knew Maja was Lillian’sdaughter, she nearly shrieked. Steve, on the other hand, kept his silence. It was clear he’d knownabout this for a while.
Selena was sobbing and cursing for what felt like forever, finally bursting into a heartfelt cry, “You’vecrossed the line, Steve! Just you wait and see! If I’m going down, I’m taking you with me!”
With that, she hung up the phone and headed straight for her mom’s place.
Edith watched as the once peaceful home was disrupted by Maja’s presence and couldn’t help butsigh. “What the hell’s going on? That woman’s nothing but bad news. She’s trouble and sooner or later,she’ll be out of the Raymond family.”
The two argued for hours at Rosewood Manor before finally leaving.
At the hospital, Holden rushed over as soon as he heard about lan’s accident. lan was still in surgery,the light still on, but no one knew what was happening inside.novelbin
Holden coughed, seeming to age a few years in an instant. Fitch, worried about the old man, comfortedhim, “Grandpa Holden, lan will be fine. You should go home
and rest.
Holden was reminded of when he first heard of Eric’s death, feeling just as helpless. He didn’t want torelive that kind of pain.
Three hours later, the operating room door finally opened and lan was wheeled out.
Holden, supported by others, walked over, “How is he?”
Phelps took off his mask, his brows furrowed. “His back injury is serious, he might have a fever for afew days. We need to monitor his concussion too. We’re taking him to the ICU now. Don’t worry, his lifeisn’t in danger.”
Relieved that lan’s life was not in danger, Holden almost fainted.
Then Edith arrived, her voice filling the entire hallway. “Damn it, how many more people does that badluck woman need to harm? Selena’s gone home to her mom, and you don’t even care. lan needs todivorce Maja right now. Our family is going under, and it’s all because of that woman. She’s a jinx!”
Edith was so angry she was unsteady on her feet. She grabbed Holden’s arm, “They need to get adivorce.”
Holden, who was not in good health, almost fell from her grip. Others tried to intervene, but Edithignored them. “I don’t care. They need to divorce, or the Raymonds will never have peace!”
Holden took a deep breath, clearly tired. “Let’s wait until lan wakes up.”
Edith huffed and sat down.
Holden didn’t know that lan and Maja were together when the accident happened. No one mentioned it,and he didn’t even tell Maja about lan’s injury. He thought if his grandson couldn’t appreciate what hehad, there was no point in worrying that girl.
lan was unconscious for three days. During this time, the Raymond family was in total chaos. Selenahad gone to her mother’s house in tears, so the Casson family sent someone over demanding anexplanation and insisting Maja leave the Raymond family.
In the Casson family’s words, if Maja continued to stay with the Raymonds, it would be an insult to theCassons!
Steve never showed up once during this whole ordeal, showing just how indifferent he was toward hiswife.
Between Selena, the Casson family, and Edith, the Raymonds hadn’t had a moment’s peace. However,Holden didn’t tell Maja any of this. He just called her and told her to focus on her own stuff.
Maja had indeed been busy with the Pennyfeather group lately. The selection of the top managementhad reached its final stages, and she didn’t know most of the staff well, except for one exceptionallycapable person. So she was busy familiarizing herself with the profiles of the executives. No one knewwhat these newly promoted people were thinking, but they were all still on probation.
Maja also hired a private investigator to go to Crystalbrook Valley to look into the baby–switchingincident from years ago. But there was no news yet, so she could only deal with the Pennyfeathergroup’s matters and wait.
At the hospital, lan finally woke up. The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was HoldenRaymond sitting by his bed. He instinctively wanted to ask where Penny was, but when he saw the lookon Holden’s face, he shut his mouth.
Holden’s expression was grim. When he saw lan awake, he called Phelps over to take a look. “lan’sconcussion is serious. He’ll need some time to recover. He should avoid straining his brain too muchand avoid any head injuries.”
Holden nodded, signaling Jeff to get a glass of water for lan.
Jeff was luckier than lan in that he wasn’t injured, and he had been staying in the hospital room thesepast few days.
Holden coughed a few times, and seeing that he was back to his usual aloof self, he asked, “Do youknow who tried to kill you?”
lan shook his head, “But my people will look into it.”
Holden was silent for a moment, feeling overwhelmed by the chaos in the Raymond family recently.“Do you have someone you like now?”
lan instinctively wanted to deny it, but something stopped him, and he closed his mouth.
