Chapter 1105


    After hanging up the call, Ian set off to his study to deal with some business.


    He forced himself not to think about Maja''s affairs, but then Maria called.


    "Mr. Raymond, I''ve been trying to reach Ms. Pennyfeather but with no luck. I''m worried."


    Hearing this, Ian felt like hanging up the phone right away.


    Because whether it was Maria or anyone else at Star Movie Group, they all suspected Maja''s


    disappearance was connected to him.


    Maria knew about Holden''s demise but was unaware that it was caused by Maja. Now, she was


    worried about Maja.


    Ian was not the kind to stir up trouble at such a critical moment. He did harbor resentment towards


    Maja, but he wouldn''t expose her faults to Maria.


    "She’s on a business trip, and she’ll be back soon."


    After saying this, he hung up and continued to look at the documents in front of him. But then Maria


    called again.


    "Mr. Raymond, Coco, and Rocky seem really down, especially Coco. Whenever Ms. Pennyfeather is


    away, Coco won’t eat or drink. Coco adores you. Would you like to take Coco to Greenfield Gardens?"


    Ian took a deep breath, but it felt like it never came out. He felt suffocated as if his mouth was filled with


    the taste of blood. He had to hold it back to prevent himself from coughing up blood.


    His eyes turned red due to the anger he felt.


    He even began to cough.


    "Mr. Raymond, are you feeling unwell?"


    Ian''s hand leaned on the desk. After a while, he replied: "When I was out of the country, how did you


    take care of Coco?"


    "At that time, Ms. Pennyfeather would oftene back to see her. Even if every visit was brief, Coco


    became more clingy after a close call with danger."


    The thought that Coco was left by that man and that she was so concerned about Coco because of


    Eric.


    Because of Eric.


    He lowered his eyshes and said, "That''s okay. Coco will soon like someone else more."


    After saying that, he hung up the phone.


    Maria looked at the phone in confusion, not knowing what he meant by that.


    She paced anxiously on the spot and asked the other people at Rosewood Manor.


    "Did Ms. Pennyfeather call any of you?"


    But everyone shook their heads.


    Clearly, Maja had not contacted anyone in the past few days.


    Maria was worried, fearing that something had happened to her.


    But could Mr. Raymond ignore it if something happened to Ms. Pennyfeather?


    She frowned and finally called Carol Miller.


    Before Mr. Raymond returned home, Carol had visited Rosewood Manor once. Maria knew that she


    was Maja''s best friend and the heiress to the Miller Group, probably the only socialite that Maja knew in


    the circle.


    Maria was thankful that she saved Carol''s number at that time and dialed her number immediately.


    Carol had been busy dating for the past few months and hadn''t been in touch with Maja much. She


    only visited the hospital when Maja had an ident, spending the rest of the time with Felix Brown.


    "Ms. Miller, I want to know if Ms. Pennyfeather has told you where she went recently. We haven''t been


    able to contact her for several days."


    Carol frowned. It was rumored that Maja and Ian were together and that Ian was quite fond of her. Why


    was Rosewood Manor calling her?


    "Aren''t you supposed to ask Ian about this?"


    "Mr. Raymond seems to be in the dark."


    Carol was immediately furious. What did she mean by he didn''t know?


    Wasn''t Maja with him recently?


    She hung up the phone and called Maja, but the phone was turned off.


    She dialed Ian''s number.


    Ian did not pick up, and the call was directly disconnected.


    Infuriated, Carol sat up from the bed.


    Felix''s hand was still around her waist. Seeing her getting off the bed, he pulled her back.


    "What''s going on?"


    "There seems to be a problem with Maja. I need to find someone to ask."


    The ce where they were staying was a house rented by Felix. Previously, Felix''s cousin had been in


    the hospital, and Carol had been helping to care for her. All of her heiress temperament was subdued


    in front of him.


    Their rtionship had recently reached a peak. They were constantly visiting each other''s homes,


    which was why her contact with Maja had decreased.


    Carol got up and started getting dressed.


    Felix scanned her body with a smile on his face.


    "Carol, have your breasts gotten bigger?"


    Carol was famously well-endowed, but recently, she did feel a bit more voluptuous, especially her


    breasts.


    Probably because someone had been fondling them too much.


    She gave him a re, got dressed, picked up her bag, and was ready to leave.

    This bag was a limited edition worth more than $200,000, but she told Felix it was a cheap $10 knock-


    off.


    Carol had be addicted to ying poor, and she really did love Felix. Otherwise, she wouldn''t have


    put up with him and kept their rtionship a secret from Abner Miller. Even when Maja asked about her


    future, she would always change the subject.


    As soon as she left, Felix received a call.


    His frivolous demeanor immediately softened.


    "Listina, what''s up?"


    "Felix, won''t youe and stay with me tonight? I''m scared of being alone in the hospital."
