Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 341

Ian suddenly stopped in his tracks, feeling a bit ticked off.

Once upon a time, she would stop at nothing to become a designer.

Now she no longer wanted to be a designer and had given up without a second thought.

Maja didn't notice him stop or halt in time and ran into his back, aching all over from the impact.

"Spill the beans."

His tone was flat but much colder than usual.

"I'm always getting hassled by Carlene and Dana, and I worry my luck won't hold up like today."

She was speaking the truth. If Dana kept coming at her like this and kept getting bailed out, she wasn’t sure how many more times she could handle it.

Ian had already entered the elevator, and she followed in as well.

"What went down today?"

"Mr. Raymond, you bailed Dana out. Didn’t you know she and I were at odds? She tried to frame me at the villa a few days ago but failed, and I let it slide. Then Carlene brought two guys to deal with me. My friends rescued me, but I hurt my neck, and I just took off the bandages today. So I couldn’t hold back at the hospital, and I laid my hands on her. This afternoon, Dana attacked me with a dagger, I dodged, but less than half an hour later, you personally went to bail her out. My family can't compete with the Shepard family or with yours, so I'd rather keep my distance."

By now, the elevator had reached the underground garage.

Ian looked at her; she kept her head down, not looking up.

He couldn't help but grab her chin, forcing her to look up.

The elevator was small, filled with his domineering presence.

"Are you crying?"

Maja wasn't crying; she just felt more and more wronged as she spoke.

Plus, Neil Pennyfeather hadn't woken up yet; the Pennyfeather family might face bankruptcy, and she hadn't been sleeping well these days.

"Penny, you cry that easily?"

Maja frowned, trying to move his hand away.

He pulled back just in time.

"Why didn't you tell me when I asked the injury on your neck?"

"I have no proof, and those two guys have already left the country."

"So you felt wronged when asked to apologize to Carlene?"

"Yes, because you always favor her, so whatever she does is right."
