Female Novel
Chapter 1149
Dylan had already investigated the Raymond family, knowing that there was Eric, but Eric had
supposedly passed away years ago. This evening, a man suddenly appeared, claiming to be Eric.
Dylan had his people look into it and from the resemblance this man bore to Ian, he finally confirmed
his identity.
Eric was still alive.
But from what he had heard about Eric, he was said to be a very gentle man, quite unlike the ruthless
man before him now.
Perhaps these nearly seven years had changed him dramatically.
Patrick picked up his glass of whiskey, took another sip, and tossed his cigarette butt into the nearby
trash can.
“Before my grandfather passed away, he left a will. He had initially transferred 15% of his shares to Ian,novelbin
under the condition that I was deceased. If I was still alive, however, those 15% of shares should be
mine, meaning, I could return as a high-ranking member of the Raymond Corporation.”
That night, Eric had used a self-destructive method to help Maja, and Patrick was still furious about it.
Fine, if Eric wanted to cause trouble, then he would too, and let the whole of Greenfield fall into chaos!
It was Eric who first broke their agreement, so he couldn't be blamed.
Patrick took out Mr. Holden's will, sounding triumphant.
“Mr. Sanders, if you want, you could hire a handwriting expert to verify this.”
“Even if that's true, all you would get is 15% of the shares.”
Patrick laughed lightly, swirling his whiskey glass, “That's enough. I can still intervene in Ian and Maja’s
relationship. After all, I am Maja's first love.”
“Mr. Raymond, I need to thoroughly investigate this matter. I have to be cautious.”
Patrick shrugged, indicating he didn't mind.
The next day at noon, while Ian was lying in the hospital, he received a message. He only glanced at it,
hesitated a moment, then deleted it.
Then he opened his chat with Maja. He knew Maja must be concerned about him, otherwise, she
wouldn't have quietly removed him from her blacklist.
He sent her another message.
[Spent the whole night at the hospital, feeling miserable.]
At that moment, Maja was about to meet a well-known female screenwriter, who was rumored to have
a strange temper and was also friends with Tyler.
Tyler didn't like her, so this screenwriter probably didn't either.
On the way there, she saw Ian's message.
She didn't reply.
The screenwriter she was meeting had a new script which seemed tailor-made for Cornelia. Maja had
sent some men to negotiate with her, but the screenwriter refused to meet them.
Now, it seemed she had started contacting Beck and was likely to collaborate with the Sanders family.
Maja didn't want to miss this script, so she decided to meet with the screenwriter herself.
She hadn't expected the screenwriter would agree to meet. They made an appointment at a coffee
shop near a high school.
When Maja arrived, she asked her bodyguard to wait outside the coffee shop.
She went inside and immediately spotted the woman sitting by the window. The screenwriter's name
was Coral Albright.
Maja had heard her name before. She was obsessed with her work, but unlike Tyler who was a
commercial screenwriter, Coral only produced a piece every three years. Each of her works was well
received, and having the opportunity to work with her meant that the leads in her TV series would
become A-list stars overnight.
“Ms. Albright.”
Maja walked over and shook her hand.
Coral stood up, her tone indifferent, “I've heard about you from Tyler.”
It probably wasn't anything good.
Maja smiled. She had researched Coral's personality before the meeting. Coral was straightforward,
didn't like making friends, and spent her days seeking inspiration in nature and creating her works.
So as soon as she sat down, Maja offered the greatest investment benefits that she could provide and
promised not to interfere with her creative process.
Coral's pale fingers held a spoon, her face cold.
“Tyler introduced me to Ian before.”
She said this without any change in her tone, “That was before he got married.”
Maja continued to smile at her, “I've seen your works, Coral. They are mature and delicate, reflecting
your character. I believe you would prefer a mature and stable man.”
In other words, Ian wasn't suitable as he wasn't mature enough in his relationships.
Coral chuckled, finally appraising Maja seriously.
After few seconds, she smiled and said, “I met Ian at a banquet. Tyler wanted to set us up, so he got
me drunk and left me alone with Ian. I was thirsty after drinking, and when I asked him if he had any
water, he asked me if my hands were broken. Tyler wanted to match-make us and even Holden met
me. But after that, I kept my distance from him. How should I put it, he's not very considerate.”
Coral's coffee didn't have a drop of milk or sugar. She took a sip.
“So I was a bit curious when I heard from Tyler that you were entangled with Ian. How can you stand
him?”
