    he’s been in a bad mood because he’s dealing with divor stuff”


    Maja kept sent, but Maxwell seemed surprised and asked. Tan is married?


    Ryan sighed. “He’s been hitched for awhile I heard he’s already contacted awyer to start the divorce


    process.”


    Ryan seldom retumed to the Raymond Mansion, especially after bing an adult. He was always


    out living it up He only knew thatn got married because of his grandfather’s arrangement, but he had


    never met his cousins wife in person


    This was the first time Maxwel had heard about this, and he was intrigued thought the house in

    really like his current wife. He was pushed into the marriage. He used to have someone he led, so the


    house might have been designed for that woman After saying this, he handed a ss of juice to Maja


    When hees overter I show him your design. He should be interested.”


    Maja took the juice ghing him a polte smile, “Thank you If this project is sessful dinner’s on me


    Ryan liked her calm and humble attitude and spoke again. “If it’s really sessful you should indeed


    treat me to ameal. We will give you a reasonable design lee, and this is a doskin project for my cousin.


    Your reputation will definitely skyrocket Maanodded. She understood that if this project was sessful


    she could elevate her own fame, sessfully enter the social stratum thatn was a part of, and the


    studio’s business would take off.


    At the other end of thedoc a tall man oozing an intimidatingly unfriendly aura opened the door to


    one of the rooms.


    Just as he stepped in his phone rang. Seeing that it was Ryan calling,n frowned but didn’t answer.


    The man next to him found his expression amusing. What’s the matter? You seen upset, and you just


    anived. Who dared to cross you?”


    The room was spacious with quite a few people, but there were social ss differences even within this


    social circle.

    and elegant temperament, is it because of the divorce? I heard thedy doesn’t want to sign.”


    imposing aura “She’ll sign sooner orter. She knows better than anyone why we got married in the


    first ce,”


    He spoke uncaringly, obviously not wanting to dwell on it. He wasn’t upset tonight because of his wife,


    but because of the woman he had just met.


    He couldn’t understand why her response in bed was so unexperienced, even though she had been


    working in that industry for three years. Just then, a few men at the next table were discussing their


    girlfriends.


    Men’s private conversations often had no holds barred,n didn’t used to care about these things, but


    now he couldn’t help but listen in.


    “So, she was ying innocent? How did you deal with it when you found out the truth?”


    “What else could I do? I broke up with her. That woman fooled me. If it weren’t for my friend at the


    hospital recognizing her I would’ve married her. Tums out the kid in her belly wasn’t mine She even


    wanted me to raise the kel. Me, support her and her child? She


    wishes.”


    For these wealthy and idle men, their casual conversation topics often revolved around women.


    “Modem women are no pushovers. They would pretend ording to your wishes. What do they call it,


    precision hunting? Maybe the kid’s father is someone you know. The more innocent a woman loaks,


    the more likely shes been toying around…


    Ian’s grip on his ss suddenly tightened. The image of Majalooking down and certain memories from


    over him


    Just then, Ryan called to urge him to go down to the private room, saying he wanted to talk face to


    face.
