Chapter 618


    Seeing that Carlene hadn’t responded, Maja’s gaze became very calm.


    She wasn’t in a rush, knowing that Carlene’s fate wasn’t sealed yet.


    Carlene had almost cost her life on a cruise ship before, with her father’s life and many other things.


    These were enough for Carlene to pay a price. Maja wasn’t a saint, and she would naturally respond in


    kind.


    Right now, she was sitting in her office, thinking about her afternoon check in atn’s ce, so she put


    her phone down.


    However, at that moment, Carlene replied with a message.


    “You just wait and see!”


    She found it amusing and tossed her phone aside


    Soon, the news that Carlene wasn’t a member of the Shepard family reachedn’s ears.


    It was Tyler who told him.


    n, if you want to y the hero, now’s your chance.”


    Then, Phelps Herrington called.


    “Carlene is not the Shepard family’s daughter. I suspect she’s the lost princess of the Sanders family,


    and I n to have her do a paternity test with Mr. Sanders.”


    Phelps Herrington had already started preparing to investigate Carlene’s background but still reminded


    “Aren’t you going to do anything? Just say the word, and plenty of people will be willing to help her.”


    “The Raymond family has already given her enough.”


    he’d given Carlene during their time together.


    If the Shepard family had put more effort into running theirpany, they wouldn’t be in this mess.


    Not to mention the issue with the coastal property, it was a fact.


    Carlene had already gone to see Edith, crying her heart out in front of her.


    Edith initially thought she could ept Carlene’s background, but it turned out she wasn’t even a


    Shepard, just a child of unknown origin.


    “Edith, can you help me, for Eric’s sake? He said he would marry me…”


    Eric was Edith’s favourite grandson, so hearing Carlene say this made her very upset.


    “Did Eric really say that to you?”


    Carlene sobbed as she answered, “Is there any other woman by Eric’s side besides me?”


    This made Edith think. She gave Carlene a bank card with hundreds of thousands of dors.


    “Take this money.”


    “Edith, Eric hoped I could join the Raymond family. Now that he’s gone, no one can fulfil that wish.”


    Edith’s heart clenched, recalling how Eric and Carlene had been close. If it weren’t for the ident,


    they might be married by how.

    And Eric had told her that he’d found someone he liked.


    Edith’s favouritism for Eric was profound, so she immediately calledn.


    “Your brother nned to marry Carlene. Even though he’s not here anymore, you should fulfil his


    wish. Marry Carlene. You’re divorced now.


    “Grandma, are you saying that even if Eric wanted something and he’s gone, I should still get it for


    him?”


    Edith frowned, “He’s your brother,n. You should know how you got where you are. If Eric hadn’t had


    an ident, you might still be in the military. You wouldn’t have had a chance to be where you are


    now. You’ve taken what was your brother’s. Why can’t you fulfil his wish? You owe him that.”


    Edith couldn’t ept this and called again.


    he came back one day?”


    And besides, he would never touch the woman Eric loved.


    Even though many thought he might have killed Eric, considering the dark battles within the rich


    families. But he would never go as far as to take what was Eric’s.


    Edith stood up abruptly, her eyes filled with emotion.


    n, how could you say such a thing? Have you heard something? Tell me now!”


    So, she didn’t bring up the idea ofn marrying Carlene again. She just gave Carlene money and told


    her to find a ce to stay.


    It turned out Edith had already called Selena in her excitement.


    Selena was incoherent, pressing him for answers.


    “Is your brother still alive?n, if that’s the case, you should be ready to step down anytime. Your


    position was supposed to be Eric’s, and you must do whatever it takes to bring him back. As long as


    Eric cane back…”


    In her excitement, Selena revealed her true thoughts.


    He found it rather amusing. He looked up, ended the call, and leaned back in his chair.


    Just then, Maja walked in.


    She wore a trench coat, with a scarf wrapped around her neck. Her short hair was neat and tidy.


    She was holding some ofn’s recent schedule charts.


    “Come here, and I want to hold you.”
