Chapter 1193


    Not to mention, Selena also had a clear bias towards her elder son.


    Selena had always been proud of her elder son. However, whenever someone asked her to talk about


    Ian, her younger son, she wouldugh awkwardly.


    "Let''s continue talking about Eric. Ian is too introverted, hardly speaks to us. There''s nothing much to


    say about him."


    "But I heard he''s quite impressive in the military. Doesn''t Holden always praise him?"


    Selena''s smile vanished instantly, "That’s all due to his good luck. I''m his mother. I know him best. He


    just tries to copy his brother."


    These words were spoken in front of Ian. Ryan was also present.


    He wanted to refute her, but he didn''t know what to say.


    He strongly felt the Raymond family''s favoritism. When the news of Eric''s death came, both Edith and


    Selena fainted with grief.


    After that, Selena spent a lot of time on Ian, hoping he could be a genius like Eric.


    Ian was reluctant to leave the military, but Holden intervened, hoping he could take up the responsibility


    as the Raymond family''s heir.


    Selena kept a close watch on Ian. She couldn''t bear to lose another son. For the first few years, every


    time she saw Ian''s face, she would cry, repeatedly murmuring her elder son.


    "If Eric were still here, the Raymond Corporation would definitely be doing better."


    Who would have thought, Eric was actually still alive.


    Ryan was sitting on the couch, struggling to find words.


    It wasn''t until Ian looked up and his gazended on him for a few seconds.


    "Out of cash again?"


    Ryan, a grown man, suddenly felt like crying.


    But he couldn''t say those sentimental words to his cousin, so he just nodded, "Out of cash."


    Ian took out a card and ced it on the table.


    "Have you been singletely?"


    Ryan had always been afraid of him as a child, but now he calmly epted the card.


    "No, I haven''t dated anyone since myst breakup. My mom has been keeping a close eye on me


    Ian continued reading the files in his hand, his tone indifferent.


    "Keep this money a secret from her."


    If Maureen found out, she would start suspecting Ian had some other motives.


    Ryan didn''t say anything more, he just sat quietly for a while.


    Not for any other reason, he just wanted to spend some more time with his cousin.


    Ian was still reviewing the files, seriously making notes on them.


    At that moment, Ryan truly hoped his cousin and Maja could work things out.


    Because he liked Maja''s character. In some ways, both of them were very strong.


    The most important thing was, his cousin liked her.


    But with the interference of his elder cousin, things were uncertain.


    Ryan stood up, pondering for some while.


    "Ian, I''ve been thinking about going somewhere else to gain some experience."


    Maureen wanted him to work at the Raymond Corporation, get closer to Ian, and then secure a


    prominent position.


    But Ryan couldn''t bear the shame. He felt it was disgraceful to ask Ian for such favors.

    He knew that as long as he asked, Ian would give it to him.


    But he really didn''t want to.


    "A friend of mine rmended a guy to me. I''m nning to partner with him for some racing-rted


    stuff, maybe even buy a racing team and take part inpetitions."


    Ryan was very passionate about car racing, but his family didn''t approve.


    Now he didn''t care about anything else. He just wanted to escape from this suffocating environment


    and breathe some fresh air at the racing track.


    He hadn''t shared this decision with anyone before, but now he confidently told Ian.


    "Ian, my mom doesn''t agree with me doing these things. But I don''t want to follow the path sheid out


    for me anymore. It''s boring and goes against my conscience."


    Ian looked up, staring into his eyes.


    Ryan became a bit embarrassed and scratched his neck.


    "I really want to go there. My mom will definitely cancel my card."


    "Finding something you love to do, that''s great."


    Ian only said these words, but it made Ryan''s eyes light up.


    Ryan strode over, cing both hands on the ck desk.


    "Ian, don''t you think I''m good for nothing?"


    "I don''t think so. You know about racing. You have a n, just go for it."


    Ryan was so excited he didn''t know what to do. Actually, he was perturbed now. He had been a spoiled


    brat for so many years, never thinking about what he wanted to do in the future. He felt there was no


    need to work, and he could have ess to lots of money anyway. Why trouble himself?


    At this moment of insecurity and confusion, his cousin was supporting him.


    But when his cousin was troubled, who could be there for him?


    Ryan started to feel distressed again.


    When he left the office, Maureen was still waiting for him outside.


    Maureen pulled him into the tea room, looking anxious.


    "What did Ian say to you? Ryan, we took the wrong sidest time, and he must hold a grudge. You


    need to put in good words for us when you''re with him. It would be best if you could secure a high


    position in the Raymond Corporation. Now, nobody in the Raymond family dares to make demands to


    Ian. If you could seed, we..."


    "Enough!"


    Ryan interrupted her, looking disappointed.
