Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 869

Holden was lounging on the sofa, looking at Ian and casually pointing at the dining table.

"Grab a bite, then give me the lowdown on Dennis and the whole betting agreement with the EcoTraverse Group."

Ian wasn't hungry and chose to sit on the side.

"Grandpa, you shouldn't worry your old head about this."

Holden picked up his cane next to him and pointed it at Ian.

"I wouldn't be worried if you hadn't messed up the Raymond family! What in the hell are you doing? You can't even get a girl, let alone run a company!"

Ian took the hit and felt a wave of anger rise within him.

"You think I didn't try? Beck won with just three Hollywood roles!!"

Holden's cane stopped moving, and he was a bit puzzled.

"That cheap?"

The word cheap was a direct jab at Ian.

He could have bought countless such Hollywood roles with the 10% of the Raymond Corporation shares he offered Maja.

Yet, when Beck proposed this, she only hesitated for a minute.

All his anger turned into powerlessness in an instant, and he lowered his head.

"Grandpa, you don't have to worry about the company. Dennis has been making moves, and he's just been waiting for the right opportunity."

Holden didn't say a word, and he knew Ian's tricks.

He sighed, "What about the betting agreement with the EcoTraverse Group?"

"It’s just for show. The EcoTraverse Group is actually an asset of my friend in North America. The CEO is just a puppet."

No one knew about this. Dennis, who was trying to frame Ian with the CEO of the EcoTraverse Group, didn't realize he was the one being played.

If Ian didn't have the chance to regain the shares from Dennis, he would create one.

Holden squinted at him without speaking, sizing him up, then waved him off.

"Alright, if there's no problem with the company, you can leave. I don't want to see you anymore."

Ian stood up, hesitated, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"Grandpa, why did you insist on Maja marrying me back then?"

Was it just because she saved him?
