Female Novel
Chapter 1235
News of Ian's promise to forfeit his shares in the Raymond Corporation spread like wildfire.
The gossip within the industry was wilder than ever.
But for Maja, time seemed to have stopped. She was oblivious to the outside world, relying only on the
snippets of information brought in by the man known as "Mr. K".
From these snippets, she pieced together Ian's recent life.
Today, Mr. K arrived again. Maja was blind, but her hearing had become sharper.
His footstep was unique, carrying a sense of calmness and composure.
The room where she stayed always had a soothing aroma, not unpleasant.
The man helped her sit by the window. The wind that blew from the outside stirred her hair. His fingers
wanted to tuck a few strands behind her ear, but they paused when they nearly touched her warm
cheek, then casually retreated.novelbin
"Yesterday, word came from the industry that Ian promised Eric that he would give up all his shares in
the Raymond Corporation if Eric could bring you to him. Do you think it's fair to the high-ranking
executives who fought alongside him? A man acting on impulse is not worth entrusting one's life to."
Maja had been composed these past few days, but upon hearing this, her face changed instantly.
She even stood up, her chest heaving.
"He can't do this. I don't want Ian to."
The man slightly raised an eyebrow, a smirk appearing on his lips as he watched her.
"If he renounces his position as CEO of the Raymond Corporation, who knows if he'll even make it out
of Greenfield alive? After all, the Raymond family doesn't care much about him, and there are many out
there waiting to pounce. You going back to him at this time would only burden him, wouldn't it?"
Maja's mind was in a whirl. She tried to calm herself, knowing that this man must have ulterior motives
for saying such things, and she couldn't let him lead her by the nose.
But her eyes welled up and her lip quivered, because she knew Ian too well.
He had never tried to hold on to anything. So when he really wanted to keep something, he would fight
for it even if it meant bleeding from his palms.
Ian wasn't wrong. He did have a temper, but he was always more genuine than others when it came to
emotions.
Others would weigh the pros and cons of their affections, thinking whether it was worth it or not.
But Ian was different. He would willingly give up everything and then ask her if she would like him.
The man sat quietly in front of her, seemingly oblivious to her emotional turmoil.
Ten minutes later, he continued.
"If I hand you over to Patric now, and Patric takes you to see Ian, Ian would sign the share transfer
document in a heartbeat. Maja, don't you realize? You, in your weakened state, will always be his
weakness."
Maja opened her mouth, but no words came out.
After a while, she felt a piece of paper being placed into her hand. She held it tightly as she heard him
speak softly.
"The root cause of all this is that you two are not suitable for each other. You're from different worlds. If
you force yourselves together, one of you will definitely suffer a great deal."
After saying this, he casually took a sip of his tea.
Maja clenched the paper in her hand, unaware of the tears streaming down her face.
Her tears fell silently, without even a sob.
She was like a statue.
"Think about the days when Ian had to humble himself in front of those people for your sake. Think
about what would happen if he became a regular Joe, hunted and constantly hitting walls. You know
how dirty this industry is. The unfair treatment he would face would only be worse, especially since he
has already offended the top-notch Sanders family."
"Stop."
The more he spoke, the more horrified Maja felt. Her heart pounded harder and harder.
She didn't know what was going on, unable to think logically about the situation.
She suddenly fell into a state of self-loathing. It was all her fault.
If she hadn't appeared in Ian's life, he would always be the aristocratic man.
He could ignore all rules, living a smooth life in Greenfield.
It was all her fault.
