Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 960

"Auntie, you shouldn't treat Ryan like this," Ian stated as he didn’t appreciate that kind of behavior.

The moment Ian's gaze fell upon Maureen, she felt a chill run down her spine.

Even though she often voiced her dissatisfaction towards her son, every action she took was in his interest.

She had reprimanded Ryan before, but never left such a deep mark on his cheek.

At that moment, she viewed him as an utter failure, making all her efforts seem wasted.

At that point, facing Ian's gaze, Maureen clenched her fists, her tone of voice growing somber.

"Ryan, just don't say a word."

After all, what Dennis had said was true. They had already filed a special investigation with the upper echelons. Holden's influence was still significant, if his disappearance was linked to a larger conspiracy, at least a dozen people would be impacted.

As the primary person responsible for that crime, Ian would face severe punishment. In the worst-case scenario, all his assets might be frozen, and he could also be thrown into jail.

Therefore, Maureen didn't want her son associating with Ian at that time, to prevent arousing suspicion from the other members of the Raymond clan.

At that moment, Dennis chimed in.

"Ian, if you truly care about Ryan, you should comply with my request."

They wanted him to relinquish all his shares and leave the Raymond family swiftly.

If Ian complied, he would lose everything. Dennis couldn't tolerate the existence of such a formidable competitor.

Dennis stood up and slowly pushed a contract before Ian.

"If you sign this contract and voluntarily leave, we could potentially put in a good word for you during the investigation into Holden's disappearance. Otherwise, you could face imprisonment."

Although they referred to it as a contract, in reality, it was an inequitable agreement, compelling Ian to hand over all his shares without any compensation.

The Raymonds were truly shameless!

Ian was aware of their true colors, but upon seeing the contract, he couldn't help raising an eyebrow.

Dennis turned to the CEO of the EcoTraverse Group seated next to him, his tone more polite.
