Chapter 958


    Maja heard him answer the phone, but she didn''t give enough thought to its meaning. She turned to


    look out the window, her heart filled with worry for Holden.


    However, Ian drove her back to Star Movie Group, cautioning her in the process, "You need to take


    care of yourpany affairs. The Raymond family is going to be a bit busy."


    He was clearly referring to the matters of Dennis and his cronies.


    Unable to help him out with that problem, Maja could only nod in agreement.


    With a heavy heart, Maja entered thepany building while Ian received a message from Dennis,


    asking him toe to Raymond Corporation.


    So, Ian hit the elerator to reach there as fast as possible.


    On arrival at Raymond Tower, he directly headed to the top floor.


    The atmosphere at the top was a bit eerie, as Dennis had been dealing with various documentstely.


    The top executives, having not seen Ian for a while, wanted to say something but didn''t dare to utter a


    word as Dennis and his gang had just entered the conference room. Everyone expected a big event at


    Raymond Corporation that day.


    Standing aloof in the center of the lobby, Ian scanned the crowd with a gloomy gaze before striding


    towards the conference room.


    Upon opening the door, he saw Dennis sitting in the main seat by the floor-to-ceiling window, a seat


    that used to be Ian''s. And at that time, Dennis sat there unabashedly with none of his top executives


    stopping him on his tracks.


    The executives who had always trusted Ian had suffered in his absence. Seeing him at that point, they


    felt a sense of relief and stood up.


    "Mr. Raymond, we''re d you''re finally here."


    "Mr. Raymond, are you feeling okay?"


    Two-thirds of the executives who stood up were still loyal to Ian, while the remaining third had obviously


    switched to Dennis''s camp.


    That day’s conference room was especially lively. In addition to Raymond Corporation''s executives,


    there were also a dozen members from the Raymond family.


    Maureen and Ryan Elston were sitting together, with Ryan so ashamed that he didn''t even dare to look


    up at Ian.


    Maureen, on the other hand, held her head high, clearly having made up her mind.


    Those members of the Raymond family were all supporting Dennis. They hade that day


    specifically to force Ian to step down as CEO and kick him out of the Raymond family.


    Everyone had seen his disrespectful behavior towards eldersst night.


    Dennis, sitting in the main seat, rose courteously as Ian entered.


    "Ian, it seems your health hasn''t recovered. How could you bete for such an important meeting?"


    Ian didn''t look at him but at a man sitting to Dennis''s left.


    He was the CEO of EcoTraverse Group. It seemed Dennis had prepared thoroughly, even summoning


    the CEO of EcoTraverse Group. At that point, if Ian admitted on the spot that he lost the betting

    agreement, he would lose 20% of his shares instantly.


    Then Dennis, who held the highest shares in the room, would undoubtedly be the CEO after him.


    Tall and burly, Ian walked past those people, making them feel as if a cold wind had brushed by.


    He approached Dennis and calmly called out, "Jeff."


    Jeff instantly came in from outside and quickly grabbed Dennis'' chair. He appeared polite, but in fact,


    he was rather rough as he pulled the chair back.


    To avoid the embarrassment of sitting on the floor, Dennis had to stand, his face looking rather


    displeased because of those embarrassing events.


    Jeff took out a disinfectant wipe from his pocket, wiped the chair, and sprayed the area with disinfectant


    alcohol before cing the chair next to Ian and politely telling him,


    "Mr. Raymond, please take your seat."


    Those series of actions darkened the faces of all the Raymond family members.


    Ian had disrespected the elders the previous night, and now, he dared to show off in front of Raymond


    Corporation''s top executives. A man on the verge of leaving the Raymond family had no right to act like


    that!


    Everyone felt angry, but nobody was brave enough to confront him. Instead, they all looked at Dennis


    as if they wanted him to solve that problem.


    They had all seen how Ian operated over the years. Raymond Corporation''s stocks had multiplied


    several times under his control. If they didn''t provoke him, he would not put any other members of the


    Raymond family in any trouble.


    But he was too dominant, never respecting his elders and only listening to Holden. He rarely


    Since Steve''s location was confidential, he was not present. Hismunication had been cut off, and


    unless he initiated contact, he probably didn''t know about the changes in the Raymond family.


    After sitting down, the corners of Ian''s mouth slightly curled up.


    "It seems our elders have something to say?"


    The faces of the others turned red, but none of them had the courage to speak up first, so they all


    looked at Dennis.


    The anger in Dennis'' heart deepened. Those people didn''t even dare to rebut Ian!
