Female Novel
Chapter 1267
Edith slammed her hand down on the table with a force that echoed throughout the room.
"I should've just drowned him when I had the chance!"
But what was the point of saying that now?
The atmosphere in the room was tense. Some suggested going to the Raymond Corporation or
Greenfield Gardens to try and corner Ian, but no matter where they went, Ian was always one step
ahead.
At that moment, Ian was at the BlueSky Bar, a popular spot for the heirs of the city's most powerful
families. Some had already taken over their family businesses, while others were still waiting in the
wings.
In the Greenfield social hierarchy, Ian, Fitch, Tyler, and Phelps were considered the top dogs.
Previously, everyone believed that Ian would give up the Raymond Corporation for Maja, which had
caused some tension.
But now, within a day, he had bought out the Sanders family's subsidiary and taken over 25% of the
Morris family shares, who were related to the Raymonds. This bold move had everyone on edge.
Ian's phone kept lighting up. It was clear the calls were from the Morris family, but he didn't answer,
instead, he was focused on Jolin in his arms.
"Jolin, who should I buy out next?" he asked.
Jolin had never imagined Ian would take her offhand remark about buying a company so seriously. She
had teased him earlier that day about how nice it would be if he owned a certain company, not
expecting him to act on it immediately.novelbin
The thought of such a powerful man, who was completely devoted to her, was utterly satisfying.
Especially with the attention they were getting.
She felt like a queen, with her knight ready to do her bidding at her command.
The room fell silent at Ian's question. Some quickly tried to appease Jolin by offering her a yearly
membership card to their jewelry company, which will allow her to shop for free.
Others followed suit, each trying to win her favor.
Jolin knew their motives and accepted their offers with a smile.
When she was seventeen, she had come to the BlueSky Bar with the Bennitt family as an insignificant
nobody, forced to drink by the powerful young men. Even the Bennitts couldn't protect her.
Now with Ian, everyone was trying to please her like she was royalty.
It seemed like they would do anything for her smile.
Overnight, she had become the most sought-after woman in Greenfield.
She could even feel the envious glares from the other women in the room.
She curled up in Ian's arms.
"Mr. Raymond, you're so good to me. I want to stay with you forever."
Ian held her close, his expression unchanged.
"Then stay with me forever."
The room was in shock. Wasn't this a promise of making Jolin the wife of the Raymond Corporation's
president?
After all, the rumors about Ian and Maja were still circulating.
Now, Ian was parading around with a replacement, who he seemed to be more infatuated with than he
ever was with Maja.
He'd never made such grand gestures for Maja.
But on second thought, hadn't he almost given up the Raymond Corporation for Maja?
He was willing to sacrifice everything he now had, it was just that Maja chose Eric in the end.
Maja never gave him a chance.
So, was Ian losing his mind?
