Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 457

"Grandpa, I've got some stuff to deal with in Crystalbrook Valley."

The old man's gaze sharpened instantly.

"What's got you running off to that place so often? Let me guess, you've picked up some new chicks there, haven't you?"

Ian felt a knot in his stomach, worried that the old man might sniff out something. If he found out about Penny, she might be forced to leave.

The old man was even more ruthless than he was.

"I'll be back in the afternoon."

His tone was nonchalant. After hanging up, he felt the familiar wave of exhaustion.

He sent Maja a text.

"What the hell are you up to?"

Maja's lips twitched as she saw the message on her phone.

"I'm just protecting my rights."

Ian found this amusing. What rights?

What rights did she even have?

"Drop the lawsuit."

"Why should I?"

Ian’s anger flared as he read her response.

But he was puzzled. Why did this tone seem off compared to the woman he remembered?

Was she losing it? Or was she trying to get his attention in a new way?

Frowning, he quickly briefed the rest of the Raymond family before heading back to Greenfield.

Meanwhile, Maja was looking at the messages from Ian.

She had an uneasy feeling that a storm was brewing.

If Ian got involved, he would eventually find out her true identity.

But it was Edith’s mistake to pick a fight with the Pennyfeather family.

On Edith’s side, she had sent someone to fetch Holden, but the old man only spoke dismissively.

"You got yourself into this mess; you sort it out."

She was so angry, and she could barely breathe.

Holden must have lost his mind.

To let an outsider run amok like this!
