Female Novel
Chapter 1020
Ian had never been in love before. Yet, when Maja gave him a quick peck on the cheek, he couldn't
help but grin all the way up to his office in the elevator.
Jeff was there, too, doing his best to make himself invisible.
Ian didn't mind him, and his smile never left his face as he walked into his office.
The Raymond Corporation's senior executives felt a breath of fresh air during the morning meeting.
God knows how much turmoil the company had been through recently. Especially the newly promoted
executives, they were all on edge. Last time, Ian had left the meeting halfway through, leaving them
wondering if he was unhappy with them.
But today, Ian was gentle throughout the meeting, his tone as soft as a spring breeze.
It was only after Ian had entered his office that the other executives dared to ask Jeff.
"Did something good happen to Ian recently?"
"Yeah, I got a string of data wrong earlier and thought I was done for. But he just corrected me and let
me continue. Usually, he would have given me a death glare."
Surrounded by executives, Jeff had no choice but to spill the beans.
"He's in love."
"Ah, that makes sense. What?"
Several people gasped, quickly grabbing Jeff to find out who the woman was so as to avoid offending
her in the future.
"Was that the Miss Sanders who has frequently appeared in the company recently?"
"No, it's Miss Penny."
There was a moment of silence, followed by a sense of surprise yet inevitability.
It seemed like Ian had always been quite special to this designer.
Ever since Judith saw that scene outside the Raymond Corporation building, she had taken her lunch
box and left.
As she bent down to get into her car, she tossed her lunch box into the nearby trash can.
Her eyes were dim, and she felt a sharp pain in her heart!
Wind, who was in the driver's seat, was startled.
"Miss!!"
Holding her chest, Judith spoke with a pale face.
"Call Beck for me, and I want to rest for a bit."
Worried, Wind nodded and floored the gas pedal.
Judith tried to calm her emotions in the passenger seat, her fist clenched tightly.
She could no longer wait. She had thought that Maja was just a nobody, but now she could make Ian
do such a thing in public.
Her lips were tightly pursed as if she were about to bite them until they bled.
She had never seen Ian like this before. When they were in North America, she had gone to great
lengths to see him, but he had always been cold.
She followed him to Greenfield, but he was just using her.
Judith wasn't a fool. She had figured out why he had allowed her to enter the top echelons of the
Raymond Corporation.
He was trying to provoke Maja.
Her rationality was on the verge of collapse. She was being used as a tool!
That was something she would never tolerate!
"Wind, get Beck here in half an hour."
"I've notified Beck. Miss, you need to calm down."
Judith forced a smile, her tone dark.
"I just feel like I've been played by Ian. It's a bit annoying, but it's okay. As long as I want him, the
Sanders family will find a way for me. It's just Maja."
She looked down, her expression nonchalant. "How could I possibly lose to a bastard?"
Upon returning to the mansion, she lay on the couch to rest, with Wind dutifully attending to her.
Wind was the head of the Sanders family's security team, one of the top assassins on the leaderboard,
trained by the Sanders family from a young age.
His duty since childhood was to protect the princess of the Sanders family, even if it meant sacrificing
his own life.
He was very young, just 21, with a small braid at the end of his hair. Despite his sunny looks, he was
quiet and reserved.
Judith looked at him for a long time before speaking.
"If I asked you to kill Maja, would Ian kill you?"
The wind stood up. "Miss, I'll go kill her now."
Judith chuckled, propping her chin on her hand. "Ian is so capable, and he should be able to
investigate my relationship with you and your relationship with the Sanders family. I don't want to do
that."
As soon as she finished speaking, Beck's anxious voice came from outside.
"Little sister, where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Judith snorted, her eyes reddening as she saw him enter.
"Beck, didn't you use three Hollywood quotas to get Maja away from Ian? Now they're together. I don'tnovelbin
care, I'm telling big brother, you just gave away Hollywood quotas for nothing!"
Beck rubbed his temples. "They're together?"
Just as he asked this, his phone rang. It was Ian.
His tone was smug.
"Maja asked me to tell you, let's have dinner together tonight."
Beck felt a surge of anger as he heard his gloating tone, and he stood up abruptly.
"Ian, how do I know you're not playing me?"
Ian twirled a pen in his hand, his tone indifferent.
"She just messaged me and confessed. She took your three Hollywood quotas but didn't do what you
asked. She asked me, her boyfriend, to figure out a way to compensate you. After all, what's mine is
hers from now on."
Beck had fought with him before, and now he was so angry he was dizzy. He momentarily forgot that
Judith was still there.
"Huh? How could Maja fall for you? Boyfriend, you're worthy?"
After saying this, he realized Judith was watching him.
