Chapter 962


    Simultaneously, whispers of Dennis possibly stepping into the shoes of the Raymond Group heir began


    to circte within the industry.


    People were adopting a wait-and-see stance, but they were also profoundly shocked by all that was


    happening around them.


    Who exactly was Ian? In the past, those of the same age were warned by their families not to provoke


    him. Everyone knew that his business tactics were ruthlessly effective.


    And all of a sudden, Dennis might rece him?


    However, the newsing out of the Raymond family suggested just that, and even Ian, due to some


    matter, could not appear in public for the time being.


    Meanwhile, Maja was in herpany, facing several private detectives.


    She wanted them to capture scandalous footage of Funfly Darcy and feed it to the paparazzi. Under


    such pressure, Funfly would undoubtedly opt to resign from her position.


    Many top executives who had good rtions with Funfly were entangled inplex personal


    rtionships with her.


    Colin Paisley was Funfly''s right-hand man, and the two were as thick as thieves.


    Though Funfly liked to manipte men, Colin had an appreciation for thepany''s artists.


    If the misconduct of those executives could be exposed, the reputation of Simstar Entertainment would


    surely take a big hit. To salvage thepany, those implicated executives would surely be fired.


    Maja dismissed the detectives, instructing them to capture useful footage.


    Back in her office, Zoey was waiting for her.


    "Ms. Pennyfeather, something happened to Mr. Raymond. I heard from friends at the Raymond


    Corporation that he was taken away."


    "By whom?"


    "It seems like it were several officers. They said Mr. Raymond had to cooperate with an investigation,


    but no one knows what he''s implicated in. Everyone''s saying the Raymond Corporation is looking for a


    new CEO."


    Maja immediately dialed Ian''s number, but he didn''t pick up her call.


    She then called Jeff, who ryed the events to her before sighing deeply.


    "If the CEO can''t wriggle out of this mess this time, Dennis will be the Raymond Corporation''s


    CEO. Furthermore, the other Raymond family members are all ming the CEO for this event. The


    situation is tricky right now, the investigation needs time, but his agreement with the EcoTraverse


    Group expires in just five days. By then, he must relinquish twenty percent of his shares."


    Maja had already stood up, untangling the rtions involved.


    Jeff hadn''t been explicit, but she could guess that if Ian lost his position as the CEO of the Raymond


    Corporation, it would mean he might never return to society.


    Dennis had the means to keep him in jail indefinitely and could even arrange for him to die quietly


    behind bars.


    With Holden missing and Ian in trouble, Maja felt an unprecedented anxiety as she couldn’t figure out a


    solution to that massive problem.


    After hanging up, she was at a loss for who to turn to.


    Who had the ability to challenge the current Raymond family? Who would risk offending Dennis to step


    forward at that critical moment?


    Her head hurt from all the thinking.


    Finally, she dialed Fitch''s number.


    Fitch''s tone was as cold as ever as he retorted, "This has nothing to do with me. It was his choice."


    Maja experienced a setback. Then she called Tyler.


    Tylerughed on the phone, but his disdain for her was barely concealed.


    "Maja, do you really think that I would coborate with you at this time? What can you offer me? I''ve


    told you before, you''re too weak. Being by his side only puts him in danger, let alone you not being able


    to help him at this crucial time."


    The call was hung up once again.


    Maja indeed realized her own powerlessness as she was unable to find a way to help him. Even


    though she was working hard to manage thepany and had made a lot of money, she still couldn''t


    help Ian at that moment.


    Her capabilities were limited, and she couldn''t intervene in his affairs.


    The social status gap was toorge, and that was a reality she didn''t want to admit.


    If it was a business issue, she could stille up with some ideas, but when it involved the


    government and the social circles of Greenfield, she was helpless.


    She felt powerless.


    Her phone rang at that moment. Seeing the unfamiliar overseas number, she didn''t want to pick up.


    Because she knew who was calling.


    It was only on the third call that she picked up.


    "Maja, only I can help Ian. You should just leave. Otherwise, I won''t help him this time. Think about it.


    You need to recognize your own abilities, the gap between you and him is vast."


    Ms. Sanders'' voice was very clear as she continued, "By the way, I''ming to Greenfield myself this


    time. Beck is still there. Did you forget about the promise you made to himst time? If you break your

    promise to him, my brother will take action. After all, those few Hollywood spots are controlled by my


    brother. You won''t want to be punished, right? If he makes a move, Shawn will be immediately


    disqualified, the footage shot will be scrapped, and those spots will be taken back. Don''t provoke me,


    you can''t bear the consequences."
