Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 961

With eyes squinted, an aura of calm sophistication emanated from Ian as he surveyed the room.

"Dennis, did getting kicked by me the last time scramble your brains? How else would you think you could pull the strings on me today?"

At his words, Dennis' face instantly soured. He had once deeply humiliated Maja, only to be knocked out cold by Ian. And at that moment, that incident was brought up again just to humiliate him. Unable to admit the reason he'd been kicked, Dennis could only suffer in silence.

Ian pushed open the door to the boardroom, Jeff faithfully following behind. While he didn't really know what strategy Ian had in mind, he had complete trust in him that he would figure something out in a short while.

As they approached, he heard Ian murmur in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"If they take me in for questioning, make sure Maja knows."

Jeff looked up in surprise. Inform Ms. Pennyfeather? But this was a matter within the Raymond family. What could Ms. Pennyfeather even do other than worry about his safety?

A realization struck him, and Jeff quickly understood. That would be a test for her to see if she truly cared about him in times of trouble. Perhaps, the CEO wanted to see Ms. Pennyfeather's concern.

At that moment, the CEO was not clear about Ms. Pennyfeather's feelings, not knowing if she truly cared about him or not.

So why not test it? Let her know about his predicament within the Raymond family. Would she choose to help, or quickly distance herself from him?

If Maja chose the former, showing concern for Ian's situation at that critical moment and even attempting to help him, wouldn’t that be the expression of her love towards him?

And if she chose to distance herself, then perhaps Ian would take a different approach. If he couldn't win her heart, then he would ensure that she lost her freedom, binding her to him.

Having followed Ian for many years, Jeff quickly understood the implications. So, he nodded, "Understood, sir."

Just as the boardroom door swung open, a few policemen in unique uniforms arrived. They were all members of a special task force.

Those men flashed their badges and then nodded at Ian.

"Mr. Raymond, we need you to accompany us for further investigation."

Everyone in the boardroom sprang to their feet. Those who cared about Ian immediately moved forward.

"What do we do, sir?"

Ian's voice was calm as he followed the task force members, telling his supporters, "Just do what you have to do."

The others looked at each other in confusion while Dennis took the lead, asking, "Ian, are you still refusing to sign that agreement?"

Ian ignored his words and stepped into the elevator.

Dennis' face twisted in anger, his hand slowly curling into a fist. What game was Ian playing that he couldn’t figure out?

The members turned to the rest of the Raymond family, their expressions stern.

"Do all of you believe he's responsible for Holden's kidnapping?"
