Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 513

Maja was driving back to Rosewood Manor, planning to have a week-long chillax there.

Over at Pennyfeather Group, Zoey was the head honcho and would report any funny business to Maja. The TV show Tyler invested in needed some time to bear fruit, so she could afford to kick back for a while.

BlueSky Bar.

Tyler had his hand on Phelps' shoulder, spinning some yarn confidentially.

"Ian's not showing up tonight."

Phelps was taken aback. He had given everyone a heads-up about his leaving the country a month ago, and everyone would normally drop everything to show up.

"Something wrong happened?"

Tyler was suddenly all fired up.

"You may not know this since you've been abroad, but Ian's been chasing after a married woman, playing her boy toy. But she doesn't want to divorce her husband."

Phelps raised an eyebrow, giving Tyler the once-over.

Everyone knew Tyler was a scriptwriter, always one to put a spin on things.

"Tyler, you're talking about Ian? Our longtime friend?"

What Tyler just spilled didn't mesh with the Ian he knew.

Tyler gestured to Fitch to fill in.

Fitch was sitting in silence at a corner, casting him a look to shut him up.

But Tyler wouldn't listen.

"He's been pursuing a designer called Penny, who's been working on his house. She's a looker, alright, but it seems Ian's not the only suitor. She has a thing going on with Samuel Brown and recently fell for an actor. And guess what? Ian, like a big shot, splashed out 15 million bucks to hire the actor she's into as the lead in my script. Only big-time players pull off moves like this."

Phelps was staring blankly at his drink. "You're not pulling my leg, are you?"

He could hardly believe it. It sounded like a tall tale.

Tyler gave Fitch a nudge: "Say something."

Fitch downed a drink in silence. "A tad exaggerated, but not entirely false."

During Phelps's time abroad, he saw Ian quite often. His face was always a head-turner.

Back on Wall Street, a woman had drugged Ian and locked him in a room, trying to seduce him.

Everyone was looking for Ian that night. When they found him, his arm was bleeding, and the woman was tied up, her clothes intact.

Ian was running a high fever and nearly passed out, but he didn't lay a finger on her.

Phelps took him to the hospital for a checkup, finding a strong drug in his body—one of the strongest available on the market.

For a regular guy, after taking this drug, even a sow would look like a beauty queen in front of them.

Phelps was surprised that Ian could hold himself back.

He then wondered if his friend had some sexual dysfunction.
