Chapter 563


    Maja hadn’t expectedn to intervene. She was about to pull out her phone to call Samuel Brown when


    The crowd parted for him.


    “Isn’t that Mr. Raymond?” Curiosity buzzed through the crowd.


    What was he doing here?


    Even whenn was still at Greenfield, he rarely attended any parties, let alone these catfight–filled


    affairs.


    Everyone tumed to look at Carlene and understanding dawned on them.


    He must be there for Carlene.


    Only Carlene, with her fists clenched tightly, didn’t make a move.

    Maja felt exposed under his gaze, as if she were naked.


    Her eyebrows furrowed, and then she heard him ask, “Who are you trying to call?”


    He knew it wasn’t him.


    Maja stayed silent, andn didn’t bother to argue. Ian’s gaze shifted to Kurt.


    Kurt froze as soon as he sawn.


    Kurt wouldn’t dare to crossn. He had been close to getting Maja before, but his ns had been


    thwarted byn.


    Fear crept into Kurt’s eyes.


    “Mr. Raymond.”


    Laura was too intimidated by his presence to utter a word. She could sense the tension in the room.


    When he arrived, the room instantly fell into silence, clearly showing the respect everyone had for him.


    She knew a lot of wealthy heirs, but she had never seen this man before.


    ‘Penny came with me. If you want to toss her into the sea, do you n on tossing me in too?”


    Kurt turned pale and forced a smile, “What are you talking about, Mr. Raymond? I wouldn’t dare.”


    Laura finally understood when she heard Kurt mention Mr. Raymond. Wasn’t that the man Carlene had


    a crush on? The one who stood out from everyone else in


    Greenfield?


    But wasn’t he Carlene’s boyfriend?


    She couldn’t help but look at Carlene and ask, “Carlene, what’s going on? Isn’t he your boyfriend?”


    Her voice was loud enough for several people to hear.


    Carlene was already feeling ufortable and wanted to sneak away, but now everyone’s eyes were


    on her.


    The stares felt like spotlights, threatening to peel away her carefully crafted facade.


    She was so angry she couldn’t utter a word, cursing Laura as an idiot in her mind.


    She could hear the whispers around her.


    “Didn’tn refuse to get married because of Carlene? He even followed her abroad.”


    “Wasn’t he nning on divorcing his wife for her? Now he won’t even look at her.”


    The words were like a punch to Carlene’s gut.


    Her breathing became ragged, unable to refute any of thements.


    Jan heard the whispers and frowned, “Carlene and I broke up a long time ago, and we’ve never got


    back together.”


    Thatment was a blow to Carlene’s pride. She had always portrayed herself asn’s ideal partner


    since she returned.


    Her lies wereid bare byn’s words.


    Maja was also surprised. She looked up at him, “Isn’t that Carlene? Didn’t you want a divorce because


    of her? Now you’re saying this. Did you two have a fight?”
