Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 752

In the evening, Beck got a call from a friend inviting him out for drinks. However, he was worried about Maja's safety, so he told her, "You need to stay here and rest up, get your strength back before doing anything else. Selena won't let you off the hook that easy, you need to think about how you're going to handle her. Otherwise, the minute you step out of here, she might seize the chance to get you back under her thumb."

She was no match for the Raymond family on her own.

Beck arrived at the bar, and was surprised to find Ian there that night.

He raised an eyebrow slightly, then took a seat next to Samuel.

Samuel had already reached out to Maja once that night, and she had admitted that she was at Beck's place.

So, when he saw Beck, Samuel was instantly filled with jealousy.

"Mr. Sanders, you really know how to play the field. I wonder what sweet words you have whispered in Penny's ear to get her to go to your villa."

Samuel's words were a jab at Ian, and a probe at Beck's attitude.

Samuel was even more cunning than Beck. He couldn't care less about a woman's past. He himself was quite a playboy, so expecting others to be squeaky clean was a bit ridiculous, wasn't it?

He was drawn to Maja's personality and character.

Ian didn’t want to attend the gathering in the first place. But when he heard Samuel's words, his eyes sharpened instantly, turning to Beck.

Beck knew exactly what Samuel was up to, cunning bastard.

But he wasn't scared. He intended to rile up Ian.

"Mr. Brown said I sweet-talked her into it, so of course, I said things she wanted to hear."

Samuel saw the smugness in his eyes, and his jealousy bubbled up.

"She's been at your villa for two days now, and Mr. Sanders hasn't brought her out. Are you planning to keep her as a pet? You should know that Penny isn't that type of woman."

Beck held his drink, the corners of his mouth curving slightly.

"I'm not restricting her freedom; she can leave any time she wants. But right now, she doesn't want to."

The place had become quiet, the young folks present there had heard about Penny's past with Ian. Hearing these two men openly discussing her, everyone knew that there would be a show tonight.

Ian's gaze was locked on Beck, as if he was trying to see right through him. But Beck seemed oblivious.

Ian remained calm on the outside. Only he knew the tumult inside him.

He drained his drink, feeling a burning sensation from his mouth down to his throat as if he was on fire.

Tyler, sitting next to him, was scared shitless and hurried to stop him, cursing out loud,

"That's pure alcohol, how could you just down it like that?"
