Chapter 1235


    News of Ian''s promise to forfeit his shares in the Raymond Corporation spread like wildfire.


    The gossip within the industry was wilder than ever.


    But for Maja, time seemed to have stopped. She was oblivious to the outside world, relying only on the


    snippets of information brought in by the man known as "Mr. K".


    From these snippets, she pieced together Ian''s recent life.


    Today, Mr. K arrived again. Maja was blind, but her hearing had be sharper.


    His footstep was unique, carrying a sense of calmness andposure.


    The room where she stayed always had a soothing aroma, not unpleasant.


    The man helped her sit by the window. The wind that blew from the outside stirred her hair. His fingers


    wanted to tuck a few strands behind her ear, but they paused when they nearly touched her warm


    cheek, then casually retreated.


    "Yesterday, word came from the industry that Ian promised Eric that he would give up all his shares in


    the Raymond Corporation if Eric could bring you to him. Do you think it''s fair to the high-ranking


    executives who fought alongside him? A man acting on impulse is not worth entrusting one''s life to."


    Maja had beenposed these past few days, but upon hearing this, her face changed instantly.


    She even stood up, her chest heaving.


    "He can''t do this. I don''t want Ian to."


    The man slightly raised an eyebrow, a smirk appearing on his lips as he watched her.


    "If he renounces his position as CEO of the Raymond Corporation, who knows if he''ll even make it out


    of Greenfield alive? After all, the Raymond family doesn''t care much about him, and there are many out


    there waiting to pounce. You going back to him at this time would only burden him, wouldn''t it?"


    Maja''s mind was in a whirl. She tried to calm herself, knowing that this man must have ulterior motives


    for saying such things, and she couldn''t let him lead her by the nose.


    But her eyes welled up and her lip quivered, because she knew Ian too well.


    He had never tried to hold on to anything. So when he really wanted to keep something, he would fight


    for it even if it meant bleeding from his palms.


    Ian wasn''t wrong. He did have a temper, but he was always more genuine than others when it came to


    emotions.


    Others would weigh the pros and cons of their affections, thinking whether it was worth it or not.


    But Ian was different. He would willingly give up everything and then ask her if she would like him.


    The man sat quietly in front of her, seemingly oblivious to her emotional turmoil.


    Ten minutester, he continued.


    "If I hand you over to Patric now, and Patric takes you to see Ian, Ian would sign the share transfer


    document in a heartbeat. Maja, don''t you realize? You, in your weakened state, will always be his


    weakness."


    Maja opened her mouth, but no words came out.


    After a while, she felt a piece of paper being ced into her hand. She held it tightly as she heard him


    speak softly.


    "The root cause of all this is that you two are not suitable for each other. You''re from different worlds. If


    you force yourselves together, one of you will definitely suffer a great deal."


    After saying this, he casually took a sip of his tea.


    Maja clenched the paper in her hand, unaware of the tears streaming down her face.


    Her tears fell silently, without even a sob.


    She was like a statue.


    "Think about the days when Ian had to humble himself in front of those people for your sake. Think


    about what would happen if he became a regr Joe, hunted and constantly hitting walls. You know


    how dirty this industry is. The unfair treatment he would face would only be worse, especially since he


    Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    has already offended the top-notch Sanders family."


    "Stop."


    The more he spoke, the more horrified Maja felt. Her heart pounded harder and harder.


    She didn''t know what was going on, unable to think logically about the situation.


    She suddenly fell into a state of self-loathing. It was all her fault.


    If she hadn''t appeared in Ian''s life, he would always be the aristocratic man.


    He could ignore all rules, living a smooth life in Greenfield.


    It was all her fault.
