Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 369

Maja wasn't even a bit embarrassed. After all, if Ian could watch the Pennyfeather family go belly up, how on earth would he let ByteWise Technologies bite the dust?

Deep down, he'd probably relish the idea of ByteWise Technologies knocking the stuffing out of the Pennyfeathers, leaving them knee-deep in debt.

Then he could watch his not-so-beloved wife never bounce back.

At the end of the day, would Holden, even with his apparent soft spot for Maja, foot the ginormous bill for the Pennyfeathers?

The first round of funding was done. Here came round two.

The Pennyfeathers, at this point, were like sitting ducks for fraudsters; being swindled out of such a massive amount definitely hinted at their lack of business acumen.

It was like a bottomless pit.

Even if Holden did cough up the cash, it could potentially drive a wedge between him and Maja.

Plus, Holden was really good to her. Why on earth would she let him go broke?

Maja was clear-headed but couldn't help but bear some grudges against Ian.

They were still husband and wife, yet he was gallivanting around with Carlene, leaving her the butt of jokes.

His departure abroad three years ago threw her under the bus.

And now, his meddling was behind the Pennyfeathers' towering debt.

He was always cold-blooded towards the Pennyfeathers.

Maja lowered her gaze with a wry smile.

Ian sensed her mood and hesitated.

But Maja was already shooting a smile at Samuel.

"Mr. Brown, ByteWise Technologies has been the death of many companies, and it’s indeed a tough nut to crack. Mr. Raymond's intel is his own to share; we’ll drop the subject now."

Seeing the sorrow in Maja's eyes, Samuel was almost breathless.

Did he think Ian was really heartless? He had been intimate with her. What’s the big deal about lending a hand?

She was still his wife, for crying out loud!

Samuel was now itching to see Ian get his comeuppance.

Ian, catching Samuel's agitation from the corner of his eye, was peeved.

What the hell was up with this guy? Why was he all wound up when the husband himself was chill?

The waiter arrived with pastries, breaking the tense atmosphere in the private room.

Samuel immediately placed a plate of pastries in front of Maja.

"Penny, give these a try."

There were about ten pastries, each with a different shape.

Maja got one shaped like a kitten.

She nodded politely, "Thank you, Mr. Brown."

On the side, Carlene shook Ian's arm, "Ian, can I have the kitty? I have a cat at home, and I love cats."

Ian glanced at Maja.

Maja quickly averted her gaze and passed the pastry over.
