Chapter 263


    Samuel seemed to have a thing for talking about Carlene.


    Samuel’s words seemed to be casual, even helpingn dodge drinks from others, allowingn some


    peace.


    Meanwhile, the rest of the people in the private room continued to gossip about recent rumors. Carlene


    sat next ton with a glint in her eyes. She thought that with everyone around, it’d be a good chance to


    calln’s wife over, a kind of warning shot.


    Carlene sneaked a smile and sent Selena Casson a message in secret.


    Her rtionship with Selena had been tense before since Selena disliked the Shepard family and


    wouldn’t allow her andn to be together.


    But things had changed. When Carlene decided to return to her country, Selena reached out, saying if


    Carlene still had feelings forn, she could marry him after his divorce.


    Selena’s attitude had softened, and she seemed to think more highly of Carlene now.


    “Selena, do you haven’s wife’s number? I want to have a chat with her.”


    Selena had been on bad terms withn because of Carlene. But when she found outn was involved


    with other women, she thought, if Carlene wasn’t his only choice, she could introduce him to other


    socialites, better than him picking up women outside.


    So Selena wasn’t as enthusiastic about Carlene as before, not even sending a greeting, just giving her


    Maja’s number directly.


    Carlene looked at the number, smirked, and texted while no one was paying attention.


    “Ian’s drunk; he’s in this private room;e pick him up.”


    Maja was busy fussing over the design for Greenfield Gardens. She had revised it several times, but it


    still wasn’t satisfactory.


    Even though she had gained more advantages from Silverstone Enterprises, the design was still up to


    her.


    Rubbing her temples, her phone buzzed.


    She looked at it in surprise.


    The message was from a leader of the Pennyfeather family named Wyatt. He was one of the earliest to


    follow Neil Pennyfeather. But as he aged, his contributions decreased.


    Neil still kept these people around, which could be seen as indecisive. The publicpany needed


    younger talents. Those who had been with him from the start should have been given stock dividends


    and let go. But Neil insisted on keeping them, leading to some conservative decisions in the


    Pennyfeather family’spany.


    This was Neil’s kindness, but business was ruthless.


    Maja hadn’t been in touch with Wyatt for a long time. Three years ago, when she marriedn, she told


    her father that to make the best use of the 30 million dors invested by the Raymond Corporation, the


    Wyatt heard this. As an old employee, he fell out with Maja over this. But why was Wyatt reaching out


    now?


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    “Maja, I need to talk to you about something in person. It’s big, and I dare not say it over the phone.


    Can youe here? I’ll wait till 11 PM. If you’re not here by then, I’ll pretend nothing happened


    tonight.”


    Maja looked at the message; it was indeed from Wyatt.


    They had a good rtionship when she was young.


    But after the previous conflict, Wyatt used her of being ungrateful and only using people. He never


    revisited the Pennyfeather family.


    Maja knew Wyatt was honest but also stubborn. He stuck to his principles and didn’t like young people


    contradicting him.


    Since she couldn’t finish the design draft, she got up, changed, and went to the bar.


    But she had no idea that after Wyatt hung up, a few men rushed into the private room and forced


    Wyatt to drink.


    Wyatt was forced to drink until he passed out, but he was still forced to keep drinking.


    “If you want to live, mind your own business, got it? You can only me yourself!”


    “Why did you have to see that scene!”
