Chapter 758
Maja drove Beck’s car back to his vi before heading back to Rosewood Manor herself.
Just before hitting the hay, Carol called her up.
“What’s the buzz about Beck andn? The high society is all aflutter, they’re all gabbing about how
they had a scrap over you.”
Carol’s tone was dripping with gossip.
“Maja, are you really going steady withn?”
“Nope.”
Hearing the exhaustion in her voice, Carol quickly wrapped up the topic.
“It’s been a while since we’ve had a meal together, how about we catch up tomorrow?”
“Carol, I’ve got stuff going on tomorrow.”
“Alright then, go ahead.”
When Maja said she had stuff going on what she really meant was going to the Raymond family’s old
pad to look for Holden, she was genuinely worried that she’d get snatched away by Selena again.
As forn, the moment he got into his car, his mood turned sour.
Jeff didn’t dare disturb him and didn’t dare to ask about anything.
But the hubaloo of tonight’s event was huge, and word had already reached Holden.
So, halfway through the car ride, Holden calledn up and asked him to swing by.
Not long ago,n had been scolded by Holden, and he was starting to wonder if he was going to get
another earful because of Penny.
Raymond Mansion was dead quiet.
When the butler opened the door and saw him, he immediately stepped aside to clear the way.
The atmosphere wasn’t as tense as he imagined it to be, but surprisingly chilled.
“Grandpa.”
He called out and slowly sat down.
Holden’s hands tightly gripped his cane, nodded slightly, “Tonight you and Beck had a dust–up over a
girl?”
That was the news he heard, at first, he was a bit incredulous,n and Beck! Neither of them seemed
like hotheads.
But right now,n’s neck was wrapped in bandages, and he looked colder than usual which gave away
the truth.
Holden grabbed his cane.
“I want you to bring that girl over to me right now. Ian, if I have to go myself, I can’t promise she’ll be
“Grandpa, this has nothing to do with her.”
The way he was protecting the girl surprised Holden even more.
He knew well enough that his grandson had no clue about liking someone, maybe his understanding of
it was still immature, the more he wanted to grab someone’s attention, the more he would spout
nonsense and do annoying things.
If their gaze lingered on him, even if it was hatred, it was better than being ignored.
But now, he was clearly siding with that girl.
Holden was suddenly filled with a mixture of fury and amusement. He had originally hoped that Maja
could be his granddaughter–inw, so he let her stay in the Raymond family for three years, but she
didn’t end up developing feelings forn. Now his grandson was falling for a stranger.
His anger made him swing his cane.
“I was hoping you’d end up with Maja, but you were always picking holes in her. Now you’re fighting
with Bèck over some random girl, are you trying to give me a heart attack!”
tan was always obedient in front of his grandpa, so he bowed his head.
“If you’re angry, feel free to whack me a few more times, but please don’t trouble her. I’ll slowly sort out
the stuff between us.”
As he said this, he clenched his teeth.
Seeing this, Holden thought, could it be that the girl didn’t feel the same way about him?
Served him right!
This was karma!
Holden really didn’t want to see this jerk anymore, he was always a reasonable man, and wouldn’t go
after a girl like others might.
A woman who could make two men like this fight over her, no matter how she did that, it was a
testament to her charm and her beauty.

Holden wouldn’t think she was a bad girl, if anyone was to me, it was his dim–witted grandson who
started the fight.
He had originally wanted to testn’s attitude tonight, after all, he was still hoping Maja woulde
back.
But now that hope was dashed, seeing his grandson so furious, he just hoped that girl would give
him a taste of his own medicine. Let him experience the pain of love for once!
