Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 657

Maja didn't fancy spilling the beans about her relationship with Ian, so she just sucked it up.

"Mr. Raymond said he's lost interest in me. I can't keep him around, so I gotta find a new path," she admitted, showing she was well aware that she was getting on his nerves.

Beck's eyebrows furrowed, puzzled by the statement. Upon hearing these words, he felt uncomfortable.

Though he himself was a bit of a player, he subconsciously believed that Maja shouldn't be the kind of person to be messed around with.

On the contrary, it was more likely she would be the one playing around with others.

"You shouldn't worry about it. There are plenty of fish in the sea besides Ian," he said.

However, his family had once warned him not to cross paths with Ian.

"When Ian was in North America, he was burning the midnight oil studying data on Wall Street. Wall Street was the turf of the big shots, and his sudden appearance as a young guy stirred the pot. They say they tossed Ian into an underground fight club," he shared.

Maja felt a pang in her heart. She had never seen this so-called underground fight club, but if it was a plaything for the rich, it must be brutal.

She looked at Beck, waiting for him to continue. But he paused, then turned to look at her.

"Mr. Sanders, what happened next? How did he get out?"

Beck chuckled, tapping his finger on the window frame.

"You know guns are legal in North America, right? So, the real big shots are those rich folks. Ian quickly accumulated wealth there. Now, the whole underground fight club is his turf. They say he got it through some do-or-die betting."

Maja's grip on the steering wheel tightened. She couldn't believe it.

She knew there was a dark side to Ian, but she didn't expect it to go this far.

Beck spoke lightly, his eyes always carrying a hint of a smile as he looked at people.

"The underground fight club brings in a staggering income daily. Later, Ian returned to Wall Street and used that money for a huge acquisition. Because of this, many people decided to jump off the roof."

The truly powerful people didn't break the law, but they used the loopholes in the law to their advantage.

Just like how Ian once told her in Crystalbrook Valley, sometimes information asymmetry was a resource.

Beck supported his head with one hand, a hint of a smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"So, it's probably for the best that you two broke up peacefully. Ian doesn't seem like the type who'd fall for someone."

Maja didn't say anything more. She had learned enough about Ian recently.

The more she knew about him, the deeper she realized the darkness behind Ian was.
