    Maja wanted to snap back at him but suddenly remembered her promise to Beck.


    She had taken Beck’s money, Shawn was already in a Hollywood crew, and here she was, having a


    pleasant chat withn.


    She bowed her head, gripping the sheets tightly, feeling utterly shameless.


    But she had to face the music, and she couldn’tpete with Beck’s sister.


    She said, “Even if I told you, you wouldn’t know him.”


    She replied, “That’s right.”


    He closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them again, he returned to his calm self.


    He asked, “If I slept with you a few more times, would you forget about him?”


    She replied, “No.”


    yed at his lips, but his eyes held a cold undertone.


    He said, “Really? Compared to him, I’m that beneath you, huh?”


    Maja didn’t really want to continue this conversation, but she had to remember her promise to Beck.


    She said, “Mr. Raymond, if you’reparing yourself to him, you’re not even worth his nail clippings.”


    He looked at her, his eyes filled with disbelief and pain.


    Maja didn’t meet his gaze, and she just bowed her head.


    He just stood there in silence for a long time until his calves began to feel numb and hurt.


    After a while, he gave a coldugh, turned around, and left as if he would never return.


    Thest time someone had criticized him like this was when his brother Eric was alive.


    His mother Selena and his grandma Edith both said he wasn’t even worth one of Eric’s fingernails.


    They would always say, “Your brother does everything better than you.”


    n if you were born in any other family, you’d be a star. But tough luck, your brother’s just too good.”


    “You get perfect scores because you’ve briefly mastered the test material. Your brother gets perfect


    scores because that’s the only score possible. He’d get them all if there were a thousand points or ten


    thousand. But you wouldn’t.”


    Shortly after Eric’s death, everyone suspected that he had killed Eric out of jealousy.


    Selena suspected him.


    Edith suspected him.


    People in Greenfield said he was capable of killing his own brother, so don’t mess with him. He’s a


    lunatic.


    He had carried thatbel for many years, up until now.


    He was justn, not Eric’s brother.


    Maja’s words stirred up some unpleasant memories, reminding him that he was once again being


    He wasn’t even worth a stranger’s fingernails? Was he really that bad?


    Every cell in his body was seething, as if about to boil dry all the water in his body.


    When he returned to the car, he took a cigarette and tried to light it.


    But he was too worked up, and the lighter wouldn’t catch.


    After a while, he broke the cigarette in half and threw it into the trash can next to him.


    At dusk, he took a private ne to North America.


    When he arrived, he was met by a dozen ck cars, and the area had been cleared of people.


    He got into the leading Bentley Mulsanne in the convoy and leaned back in the seat to rest.


    When he arrived at a luxurious building, a woman with a


    ha curvy figure came out to greet him personally.


    She held a gorgeous vintage fan in her hand and strutted in a form–fitting long dress.


    She said, n, it’s been a while since youst visited.”


    He ignored the woman, but she naturally hooked her arm into his.
