Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 328

Maja had already anticipated Ian siding with Carlene, to which she replied, "No way."

"Really? You aren't scared this might affect your job, your family, or even your rep in the industry?"

His tone was so nonchalant, even when threatening someone.

He glanced up, "And maybe even your husband's recent promotion."

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but Ian seemed to be more aggressive this time. He wasn't the chill guy she used to know.

Ian noticed she was pretty firm initially, but the mention of her husband's job made her go silent.

He couldn't help but smirk.

"What a lovey-dovey couple you are."

He stood up, his resolve stronger this time.

"Apologize to Carlene before you check out."

If she doesn't apologize and Carlene calls the cops, she could be accused of intentional assault. Carlene could provide a medical report detailing her injuries.

And Maja was just a designer. She wouldn't have so many pesky relatives in Crystalbrook Valley if her family had real power.

If Carlene leverages the Shepard family's influence and gets a lawyer involved, Maja could end up losing her job and landing in jail.

Ian returned to Carlene's room.

Carlene saw him return so quickly and smiled slightly.

She said she should call the police immediately and charge Penny with assault. But she was more interested in knowing Ian's thoughts.

"Ian..."

Before she could finish, Ian took a seat.

"I told her. She should apologize to you before she checks out."

A light flickered in Carlene's eyes; Ian's attitude was what mattered most to her.

Since Ian was on her side, she could pretend to be forgiving.

"Fine, I'll wait for her to come apologize."

Her tone suggested she was willing to let the rest slide.

Ian had an overseas meeting at dawn. He stayed for a while, arranged for the hotel's chef to cater for Carlene, ensuring she would recover well, then planned to leave.

"I have an overseas meeting at dawn."
