Chapter 701

Maja was taken aback. She was about to reach out for the handkerchief when lan pulled her behind him and glared

at the man.

Who knew who he was, strutting around with a mask on at such an event?

Both men had a strong presence, standing off against each other in front of everyone, with Sharon completely

ignored.

lan held Maja’s hand tightly, his gaze locked on the mask.

But the masked man just looked at her, taking her in with a slight appraisal.

Maja felt a sense of familiarity with him, but when she wanted to delve deeper, he merely nodded slightly and left.

lan was seething inside, asking her in a low voice.

“Who the hell is this guy?!”

He thought she had brought a lover in front of him.

Maja shook her head, “I don’t know him.”

She really didn’t know the man, and she thought he was just a kind bystander who had offered her a handkerchief.

“Don’t know him? Strangers will offer you handkerchiefs? Strangers will look at you like that?!”

His lips were close to her ear, his voice filled with anger, “Maja, don’t you dare question me again.”

His words were said through gritted teeth.

Maja truly felt a bit wronged when she heard Sharon’s voice again.

“lan, she got me wet. Are you just going to let it slide?”

Sharon was pissed off again, seeing herself being ignored.

“Sharon, didn’t you get her wet too?”

lan’s tone was indifferent, holding Maja’s hand, “I have something to discuss with Maja. We’ll leave first.”

He took Maja’s hand and walked towards a corner.

Sharon was humiliated that night, and she felt her whole body trembling.

“Fine, you just wait. lan, you’ve disregarded our families‘ relationship for a woman.”

She didn’t even know lan had lost his memory. That’s why he was so indifferent to these relationships.

He only remembered the relationships he had learned recently.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t even know who Sharon was.

They went into the bathroom, lan pushed Maja against the door, holding her waist tightly, and kissed her

passionately.

The deep kiss wiped off all of Maja’s lipstick, and her lips were back to their natural color.

The hall was buzzing, saying that lan had a lover outside.

And he even had a falling out with the Haskins family for this lover.

Everyone was unaware that the two main characters were hiding in the bathroom.

lan lifted her and kissed her until she could hardly breathe.

The surrounding air was filled with the smell of alcohol. Although it was not strong, it was intoxicating enough.

There was a knock on the door from outside. Someone carefully asked, “Is anyone there? Who locked the

bathroom door?”

Maja pushed him away, wiping her lips.

lan also let her go, his lips thin, the corner of his mouth stained a little red.

Maja gently wiped it with her finger, slowly cleaning the red traces on his mouth.

He just looked at her, and after a while, he asked, “Why are you involved with Sunshine Realty?”

“I need to buy a building for employee accommodation.”

lan raised an eyebrow, and he didn’t ask her what she needed it for. Instead, he played with her fingers, “If you

accompany me tonight, I’ll have Jeff sign the house over to you tomorrow.”

Maja was a bit surprised, thinking she hadn’t made her needs clear, “I need over a hundred rooms, preferably

around 60 square meters. The project that Sunshine Realty is selling recently fits my needs.”

“You just need to please me this month, and I’ll give you the transfer documents tomorrow.”

While she knew lan was a shortcut, she didn’t expect the shortcut to be this quick.

She kept her head down and didn’t speak. Ian hugged her again, but the knocking continued from outside; he

frowned and let her go.

“I have to meet some partners later; if you encounter anyone from the Haskins family, stay away from them. I’ve

told Powell, just find a quiet place and wait for me; don’t cause any more trouble.”

She nodded.

When the door opened, the waiting–woman saw lan and covered her mouth in surprise.

lan acted as if he didn’t see her and walked straight out.

Maja followed him. After all, she was not as shameless as he was, and she felt a bit uncomfortable being

discovered.

Back in the hall, the exhibition was still going on as usual, but Sharon was gone. Maja took lan’s advice and found a

corner to sit down.

People were watching her, gathering in twos and threes to discuss.

Maja pretended not to notice, turned her head, and saw Evelyn and Mia sitting on the other side of the sofa.

Mia had been avoiding her gaze, now seeing her looking over, she was so scared that she hid behind Evelyn.

Evelyn was also afraid of Maja; the scene where Maja almost shoved a wine bottle into Mia’s eye that night scared

everyone.

But she had Murray by her side, she couldn’t help but clutch Murray’s arm tighter.

“Murray, it’s this slutty woman seducing men everywhere, don’t be attracted to her just because she’s pretty.”

Murray was indeed a bit dazzled when he saw Maja.

Beauty was loved by all.

But hearing Evelyn say this, he quickly averted his gaze.

“Murray, don’t tell me you think she’s pretty too?”

This was Murray’s first time attending such a party, and it was a world he had never touched before, deep down he

was a bit scared.

But he acted indifferent. He was, after all, a graduate of a top university. Although his family didn’t have much

money, he had the arrogance of an educated man.
