Chapter 541

Carlene’s bodyguard whispered into her ear.

“Ms. Shepard, the info on Penny you asked for yesterday, we actually figured it out last night, but the results were

so unbelievable that we had to double–check, and they still stand.”

Carlene furrowed her brows, “What do you mean?”

The bodyguard looked around cautiously, then said, “That Penny, her real name’s Maja, Mr. Raymond’s wife in

name.”

Carlene was so shocked she nearly lost her balance.

“No way!!!”

Her scream attracted the attention of those around her.

She immediately lowered her voice, her face was pale.

“It’s impossible, they can’t be the same person, you must look into it again!”

In her mind, Maja was just an ordinary woman, and lan didn’t even like her. But now lan had feelings for Penny, so if

Maja was Penny, wouldn’t that mean lan was actually falling for his own wife?

Carlene’s heart pounded, a chill running down her spine.

“Ms. Shepard, we did the investigation twice, very thoroughly, I couldn’t believe it either, but that’s what turned up.”

The bodyguard quickly pulled out Maja’s personal info.

Carlene’s fingertips were trembling, she felt sick.

Maja’s info stated that her name was Penny, a student at the Academy of Fine Arts of Solstice College, and the last

pupil of Master Herbert.

Carlene’s vision blurred, she kept muttering to herself, “It’s impossible, it can’t be…”

She wildly ripped the papers in her hands.

“Ah! Why is this happening! Why!”

She kicked and punched the chair in front of her in a frenzy, but the higher–ups in the Shepard family quickly

hushed her.

“Ms. Shepard, there are reporters around.”

Carlene’s face changed, and she left under the protection of her bodyguard.

Her thoughts were a mess, everything felt blank, only when she stepped outside into the sunlight did she feel

slightly better.

Maja was Penny.

lan liked Maja, he liked his own wife, he just didn’t know it, that’s why he wanted a divorce.

If he found out…

Then they would be a legitimate couple, and what would she be?

Carlene felt sick, thinking of how she got hurt by Maja because of Herbert’s painting, it was so embarrassing.

Turns out, from start to finish, she was hurt by only one woman!

That woman, how disgusting.

She gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with hatred.

Now she had no mood to dine with lan, this news was too shocking for her, she needed someplace to calm down.

She hurriedly walked to lan’s car and handed him a bracelet.

“lan, this is the gift Eric gave me, but I can’t remember if Eric gave me anything else, you can take a look

This bracelet was actually one she bought for herself, but at that time it wasn’t from a regular:

So even if lan wants to investigate, he wouldn’t know where to start.

ore, there was no invoice or receipt, no purchase record.

Now she suggested that Eric Raymond gave her more than just this, lan would definitely help her look in the future.

“We’re not having dinner?”

lan took the bracelet, noticing her pale face, “What’s wrong?”

Carlene forced a shake of her head, “I’m not feeling well, I want to rest today.”

Tan didn’t ask further. He didn’t feel like eating with her either.

His car drove off, leaving Carlene standing there, feeling the sun above her head incredibly heavy.

She couldn’t just stand by anymore, the moment lan found out Penny’s true identity, she would have no chance

with him anymore. She took a deep breath, her eyes filled with resentment, thinking that she must find a way to get

rid of that woman as soon as possible.

She felt her blood run cold, thinking about her arrogance in front of Maja earlier, even shamelessly saying she was

pregnant.

Maja must know very well, lan has only ever loved her.

Her boasting now looked like a joke.

“Ahhhh!”

Carlene couldn’t hold it in anymore, once she returned home, she trashed her room again.

Panting, she sent a text to Maja.

[You bitch, are you laughing at me? + know now, Penny is you, Maja!]

Maja was back at Rosewood Manor by then, seeing the text, she just raised an eyebrow, it seems Carlene had

thoroughly investigated her.

She was about to reply, when lan called.

“Come have dinner with me? We need to discuss the auction in two days.”

“Mr. Raymond, I’ve already checked the relevant info, we can communicate online.”

lan played with a lighter, flicking it on and off, the flame dancing in front of him, illuminating his sharp gaze.
