Chapter 121


    He pursed his lips and pressed the answer button with his uninjured hand. When he was thinking


    about how to speak, Holden’s words offort came from the other end of the phone. “Ian, you did a


    great job this time, you’ve really grown up. If you can’t make it tonight, forget it. I won’t me you this


    time.”


    Every time his grandpa called him before, they always ended up talking about Maja, but tonight, his


    grandpa didn’t seem to have that n.


    Was it because of the big acquisition deal he just closed?


    Grandpa rarely cared about the business, and after he handed over the Raymond Corporation to him,


    he had been in the hospital for treatment, living a cushy retirement life.


    Aside from that acquisition,n really couldn’t think of anything else he had done that would make


    grandpa so pleased, so he naturally continued:


    “Grandpa, it’s my job, and I’ll keep pushing.”


    But to Holden, this sentence meant something else.


    He was actually not in a good mood because when he toldn to pick up Maja,n seemed reluctant


    and said he had to work overtime.


    Was work more important than his granddaughter–inw?


    Holden had been waiting forn and Maja to arrive so he could formally introduce Maja to everyone


    else.


    Over the years, they had made Maja’feel ufortable more than once, and even now, many people


    didn’t know who she was.


    Since she had married into the Raymond family, they couldn’t let others bully her any longer.


    So when he saw thatn waste, Holden was very angry, but now hearing this good news, he was


    relieved to think that his grandson had finallye to his senses.


    “Ian, I thought you were pulling my leg when you said you’d work hard, turns out Lwas wrong about


    you. Keep up the good work.”


    Ian breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was rare for the old man to pay attention to thepany’s


    business, and he didn’t mention that woman, his mood was somewhat calmed.


    “I know.”


    After hanging up the phone, Holden looked much more spirited, more effective than any good


    medicine,


    Looks like by the end of this year, he could have a great–grandson.


    He waspletely oblivious to the fact that he andn were talking about two different things.


    Outside the door, Maja was looking at Leo sitting aside, her face very serious


    “What the hell are you thinking? Disappearing for all these years, just toe to Greenfield and y


    beggar?!”


    Leo knew he was in the wrong and ruffled his hair in annoyance, “Have you gone to see my parents?”


    Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Your parents have been waiting for you toe home. During your absence, Olivia has been doing


    whatever she wants at home. You insisted on marrying her, but now you leave her and your parents at


    home while you hide here? Are you even a man, Leo?”


    Leo’s clothes were worn out but clean. Hearing Maja’s words; he was also somewhat angry.


    “Can’t you just pretend you never saw me? I’m not a man! I shouldn’t have been born in this world!”


    Seeing his defiant attitude, Maja frowned deeply.


    “You should go home and see them. Your parents are expecting your call every day. Olivia…”


    “Don’t mention that woman!”


    Leo continued to tug at his hair anxiously, ncing into the ward.


    “I can’t afford that gentleman’s medical bills, you called me a beggar, now that you’re okay, I’m


    leaving.”


    He got up, ready to leave.


    “Leo!”


    Maja grabbed his arm, her brows furrowed.


    “How could you be like this…”


    In the past, when she lived at her uncle’s house, Leo was a dutiful son who was also shy and


    introverted. How could he change so much in just a few years?;


    “Your parents were afraid that you won’t get a wife in the future, so they took good care of Olivia. Last


    time, Olivia took your dad’s car and made him walk, causing him to faint from heatstroke on the side of


    the road. They asked me not to me her, saying only she was willing to marry you. Everyone knows


    about you embezzling clients money and borrowing from loan sharks. In your father’s eyes, only Olivia


    has stuck by your side.”


    Hearing this, Leo choked up, gnashing his teeth, That bitch.”


    Maja took a deep breath, feeling stuffy too.


    She was about to continue when she suddenly received a call from Daly.


    Seeing the name shing on her phone screen, Leo instinctively wanted to run, but Maja grabbed him.


    “At least talk to him!”


    ‘Go away! Maja, who do you think you are? Your family’s affairs are way moreplicated than ours,


    mind your own business!”


    Leo was emotionally, didn’t try to control his voice down.
