Chapter 1270


    He bowed his head to light a cigarette, ready to exit the private booth.


    Before leaving, he rasped out a sentence.


    "If I''d known women could be so heartless, I would never have dabbled in love."


    As he spoke, he felt a burning pain in his throat.


    He flung the door open, only to find Coral standing at the entrance.


    Coral was also invited to the party, her friends were already inside the private booth.


    She had arrived a bitte and didn''t expect to bump into Ian.


    "Ian."


    She called out to him, her gaze shifting inside the room.


    Inside, there was only one person, Fitch.


    Ian acknowledged her with a curt nod before attempting to leave.


    Coral hesitated for a few seconds before calling him back.


    She pulled Ian back into the booth and quickly closed the door.


    "Ian, I''ll only say this once."


    As she spoke, she nced around the room to ensure there were no cameras before quickly adding,


    "On the day you were looking through the surveince footage at the BlueSky Bar, I ran into Maja. She


    was dressed as a waitress and seemed to be hiding from someone. Most importantly, she was blind. I


    had a gun to my head that day and didn''t dare to tell you this."


    Coral let out a sigh of relief after rushing out her words.


    "Act like you didn''t see me tonight. I have no idea who those people were, they were rough with Maja


    and they made her eat something."


    Ian''s cigarette dropped to the floor as he furrowed his brows, feeling as if his head was splitting.


    "You''re saying she''s blind?"


    "Yep, she bumped into me in the hallway, recognized my voice and asked me to help her to the car. I


    was going to take her away but then another group of people showed up. They were brutal and forced


    something down her throat. Everything I''m telling you is true."


    Coral quickly left after speaking her piece.


    She had to be cautious because of the threats from those people.


    Ian stood in ce, feeling as if a tsunami had hit him.


    He recalled when he was about to sign a contract with Eric, Maja sat in Eric''s arms the entire time,


    even wearing a hat.


    At that time, he thought she was determined to be with Eric, so she purposely avoided him.


    But if she was blind and didn''t want him to find out?


    His muscles tensed in an instant.


    The room was now only upied by him and Fitch, and his eyes turned bloodshot.


    "Do you think Maja deliberately said harsh words to me because she didn''t want me to sign the transfer


    document? If, if she''s really blind, did she do all this for me?"


    Fitch stood in front of the poker table, unsure of what to say.


    He wanted to say wake up, Maja doesn''t love you.


    But a louder voice deep inside him countered, maybe what Ian said was true.


    Even if Maja didn''t love Ian, she was a righteous person.


    Even though Fitch despised her, he had to admit she was honorable and wouldn''t y both sides.

    Ian immediately opened the door to the booth, and as he ran towards the elevator, he dialed Jeff''s


    number.


    "Tell Eric there''s an emergency meeting tonight and to rush over. The moment he enters the Raymond


    Corporation, cut off his signal and take down his vi''s inte. I need thirty seconds of nk time."


    Jeff didn''t question his intentions and immediately went to make arrangements, as if he were handling


    a recent series of acquisitions.


    Patric was enjoying a drink in the vi when he received a call from the other executives, saying Ian


    wanted to have a meeting.


    The Morris family had been trying to get Patric to bring out Ian.


    But Ian had been avoiding everyone, so when Patric heard about the meeting at the Raymond


    Corporation, he immediately set off, bringing along a few members of the Morris family for some


    excitement.


    Just as he was 500 meters away from the vi, Ian sneaked in.


    The surveince went nk for thirty seconds, enough time for him to disguise himself.


    He disguised himself as one of the bodyguards. He had done this kind of work during his time in the


    army, it was second nature to him.


    After changing into the bodyguard''s uniform, he also tied up the actual bodyguard and gagged him,


    leaving him in a hidden spot for his people to deal with.


    Thirty secondster, he had assumed the identity of the bodyguard and the surveince was back to


    normal.


    The staff in the vi initially wanted to check for any glitches, but seeing that everything was back to


    normal, they didn''t bother.


    The bodyguard Ian had reced had a half-face of red scars. Ian hade prepared with a fake scar


    and a bodyguard uniform.


    Half of his face was tan, the other half was covered in swollen red scars, even his handsome face


    looked grotesque.


    He made a round on the first floor but didn''t spot Maja. He then headed to the second floor and


    immediately noticed a few bodyguards outside a room.


    His heart pounded uncontrobly and one of the bodyguards yelled at him.


    "Clown, hurry up and bring tonight''s dinner in. Don''t starve thedy inside."
