lan’s eyes were filled with mockery, his lips pressed tight.

“Grandpa, did she really say that herself?”

Yes, Maja is very considerate.”

Connie handed over the medicine with a hint of dissatisfaction. What did it mean that woman was

considerate? Who in Greenfield didn’t want to have a child for their brother? That woman was really

smart, daring to say such things to Grandpa.

In order to take care of Grandpa’s health, her brother would surely agree, even if it was just verbally.

She was eager to see how shameless that woman could be to speak like that! But when Connie met

lan’s gaze, she had to shut up.

lan handed the medicine to the old man, “Grandpa, I’ll try my best.”

His answer was the same as before, but whether he really would try hard, Holden was not sure, so he

craned his neck.

‘Tonight I’m going to Rosewood Manor to see if you really are trying as hard as you said.”

He thought lan would be nervous but he just calmly lowered his eyes, “Alright, you can go and see.”

Holden wasn’t really in a condition to go out; he was just testing lan. Seeing no panic on lan’s face,

Holden believed him.

“For the past three years, you’ve neglected Maja, but she never spoke ill of you in front of me. Now with

Connie’s birthday party, we can formally introduce her to others. Your marriage was rushed, and many

people dont know what she looks like, so Maja will definitely be hurt when she goes out.”

Holden was very attentive to Maja. A slight irritation crossed lan’s face, but he couldn’t argue with

Holden. After all, it was just a title. She had often used it to throw her weight around these years.

“As you wish. Right now, the most important thing is your health.”

“Did you go to see Neil today?”

“I’ll go later.”

As lan left the old mansion, his face turned chillingly cold.

“Jeff, check if the Pennyfeather family has any big projects recently, stop them.”

Jeff was taken aback, the Raymond Corporation was interfering with the Pennyfeather family’s

business?

Did the Pennyfeather family do something to upset.lan?

He was puzzled but didn’t dare to ask more. The Pennyfeather family did have a project recently, but it

was too small for the Raymond Corporation. It was only worth twenty million, while the projects handled

by the Raymond Corporation were usually over a hundred million.

But this twenty million project was very important to the Pennyfeather family. If it got blocked, they

would definitely suffer a great loss..

“Alright, I’ll send someone right away.”

lan’s expression was icy as he casually watched the street view outside, He didn’t like women who

thought they were clever. If she thought she could control him by using Holden, she was sorely

mistaken.

She must pay for her cleverness.

“Also, when you go to see Neil later, remind him to keep his daughter out of my business.”

Jeff nodded, indicating that he understood. Only then did lan feel the pressure in his heart lighten.

Meanwhile, Maja was unaware of all this. She had sent the construction drawings to the renovation

team she had worked with before in the morning. But she didn’t get any feedback and when she called

to ask, they didn’t answer.

Maja had a feeling that something was wrong, so she decided to go to the company where the

renovation team was located herself. When she arrived at the office building about twenty miles from

Rosewood Manor, it was already two in the afternoon.

The receptionist saw her and immediately stopped her.

“Good afternoon, please show your appointment confirmation.”

Maja had been here before. The president of this company was Silver Carnes, with whom she had

worked several times, so she was famillar with the place. She often came here to discuss details with

the team due to their previous cooperation.

But now, she was stopped.

“I’m looking for Silver Carnes.”

“I’m sorry, Mr. Carnes is on a business trip today and may not be back until next week.”

This was obviously an excuse. The receptionist clearly recognized her and deliberately stopped her.

Silver didn’t answer the phone, and the receptionist told her he was away. Maja guessed that he might

still be in the company, but for some reason, he didn’t want to see her.

She smiled, her lips curling slightly, “Alright, I understand. I’ll come back later.”

The receptionist breathed a sigh of relief. After she left, the receptionist dialed the internal line.

“Mr. Carnes, I’ve stopped the lady. She said she will come back.”

Silver nodded, and after hanging up the phone, he called EliteEdge Consortium.

“Mr. Brown, congratulations on your promotion. I followed your instructions this time. About the contract

with our company…”

Samuel Brown lightly smiled, his fingers gently spinning a pen
