Female Novel
Chapter 1261
Nydia chuckled on the other end of the line.
“Alright, I emailed you earlier, but you didn't respond. I called because there's a good chance Augus'
lost daughter might be in Greenfield.”
“Hmm.”
After hanging up the call, Ian rubbed his temples.
He hadn't had a good night's sleep in a while, and he was feeling the pressure.
Despite his headache, he felt surprisingly energetic, as if he were wound up like a clock.
He headed over to BlueSky Bar, where he encountered the new arrivals that Tyler had mentioned.
The women at BlueSky Bar were all of high quality, and one was sitting right next to Tyler.
As Ian sat down, a girl in a white t-shirt plopped down next to him. With her innocent face, ponytail, and
clear eyes, she looked quite pure.
“Mr. Raymond, drink up.”
It wasn't until she turned her face towards him, looking at him softly, that Ian stiffened.
This girl looked too much like Maja, both in appearance and aura.
But she seemed more like the Maja from high school.
After his grandfather's passing, Ian found photos of Maja from her high school years in the old house.
They were likely collected by his grandfather.
In those photos, Maja was dressed in a white t-shirt and a ponytail, holding a bouquet, probably taken
after her high school graduation.
That was probably Maja's only high school photo, which he had secretly kept without telling anyone.
Now, seeing this girl, he was reminded of Maja from high school.
She was pure, gentle, and had a lovely smile.
But he didn't know her in high school.
She knew Eric.
No matter what he did, he could never measure up to Eric in Maja's eyes.
Even if he was willing to give up the Raymond Corporation, even if he only wanted to take her to North
America, she saw him as something to be ashamed of.
She trampled on his feelings, trampled on his dignity.
How could a woman be so heartless?
“Mr. Raymond, are you upset?”novelbin
The girl was here for the first time and cautiously held his hand.
Ian was the most handsome man she had ever seen, far superior to those pretentious seniors at her
school.
And he was rich. After seeing his interview, she fell for him at first sight.
Probably every woman who saw his interview fell for him.
She had dreamed about him several times, about being with him.
Now, with him right in front of her, despite her shyness, she couldn't help but reach out and hold his
hand.
Ian, however, pulled his hand back, unmoved.
Tyler also noticed the girl's appearance and raised his eyebrow.
“Doesn't she look a lot like that one girl?”
Ian's tone was indifferent, pushing away the drink she had brought.
“Maybe.”
She just looked like her. She wasn't her.
Tyler was straightforward.
“But I think she's a lot prettier, being young is an advantage.”
As he finished speaking, two bodyguards came in, ready to grab the girl.
The girl was startled and clung to Ian's arm.
“Mr. Raymond, save me.”
Ian frowned at the intruding bodyguards.
Only then did the bodyguards notice who was in front of them and immediately let go.
“Mr. Raymond, this girl is my young master's favorite. He funded her education from high school to
college with the condition that she would sleep with him when she turned nineteen.”
Ian's eyes were calm as he looked at Tyler.
Tyler rarely returned to the Bennitt family, especially after that incident, he had little contact with his
family.
Now this 'young master' must be from the Bennitt family.
After all, the bodyguards became more respectful when they saw Tyler.
Tyler waved them off, not interested in their affairs.
“Take her away.”
But the girl clung to Ian's arm.
“Mr. Raymond, please save me. I don't want to go with him, I really don't. I can pay him back. Take me,
please. I'll do anything. If I look like someone, I can be her replacement. Really, I can be good.”
There were plenty of women at BlueSky Bar, but none dared to throw themselves at Ian.
Everyone knew he didn't keep women.
But now, this girl looked so pitiful, Ian felt a moment of confusion, then he looked at Tyler.
Tyler understood that Ian was about to intervene.
He had no choice but to greet the bodyguards.
“Tell your young master, this woman is now under Tyler's protection. Here's $300,000, enough to cover
her educational expenses.”
Seeing the check, the bodyguards understood Tyler's intentions and awkwardly left.
A glint flashed in the girl's eyes as she timidly clung to Ian's suit sleeve.
“Mr. Raymond, my name is Jolin.”
Ian glanced at her face as his phone rang. It was a call from Beck.
“Ian, what's going on? Why did Maja suddenly leave with Eric? I heard from my brother that she's
staying at Eric's villa, and they're pretty close.”
When Ian heard the last part, his eyes showed a ripple of emotion before he grunted in response.
Beck had a lot more to say, but remembered his grudge with Ian.
“I also heard that Eric is planning to propose to Maja next month. I just got the news.”
Ian's hand, which was holding a glass of wine, dropped it to the floor upon hearing this.
He felt as if he couldn't breathe, and instinctively pulled the girl next to him into his arms.
