Chapter 1088
Ian didn’t utter a single word. He simply opened the door to the room and left.
Upon his return to the Raymond Mansion, the place was bathed in white, with a wake being held
Ignoring the people in the grand hall, he headed upstairs, showered, and changed into fresh clothes. Only then did
he proceed to collect his grandfather’s ashes.
He didn’t involve anyone throughout the process, placing the urn on the passenger seat of his car Then, he
contacted the burial team, preparing to lay Holden to rest
The burial was set for noon lan and other members of the Raymond family waited by the graveside, the harsh
midday sun overhead
It wasn’t until the last shovelful of dirt was laid that lan solemnly knelt down After bowing his head thrice, he
glanced at his grandfather’s picture on the tombstone, rose, and left
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe remaining Raymond family members stood still, everyone thinking lan was too indifferent. He wasn’t there for
the funeral service, shed no tears in the past few days, and even today, his eyes were dry.
He’s indeed not as compassionate as Eric, one commented
1 wonder what will happen to the Raymond Corporation now that it’s in his hands.”
“Carl and Dennis are both gone Now, who is his match? It would be great if Eric could come back.”
“Enough of that How can a dead man come back?”
The group stood together, all clad in black, discussing how the elder cousin was much better. Ryan watched them
with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes
Back when Eric was alive, they were all green with envy, complaining about how unfair it was for one family to
produce two geniuses
They were dissatisfied with the grandfather’s premature decision to declare Eric the heir. But now, they were all
reminiscing about Eric
Looking up at the sky, Ryan let out a sigh.
He was saddened by his grandfather’s death but more worried about what his cousin would do next.
His grandfather’s death involved Maja, so everyone in their circle was speculating whether lan would sever ties with
her. Some were even eager to introduce their daughters to him.
Those families who had long wished to form an alliance with the Raymond family through marriage immediately
arranged for their daughters to meet lan after hearing Maja was involved in Holden’s death.
But lan had shut off his phone and wasn’t seeing anyone.
Jeff was already there when lan returned to Greenfield Gardens, respectfully waiting for him.
“Mr Raymond
He called out, following lan to his study
The moment the study door was closed, Jeff laid out all the files he had on the desk
“This is the trace of those people Also, Pearson Raymond took advantage of Holden’s death, embezzled all the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmoney from a project, and fled.”
Previously, Dennis Raymond and Pearson had suffered a major setback. They not only lost all their shares but also
had to sell their assets to live a poverty
He thought Pearson would have the sense to leave Greenfield, but he still managed to steal twenty million dollars
during the chaos of Holdens death
“Mr Raymond, Pearson’s escape route overlaps with the retreat route of these people. Ms. Pennyfeather might also
be in Pearson’s vicinity. Should we go and search?”
Most people in their circle were speculating that Maja had something to do with Holden’s death, but Jeff didn’t quite
believe it
He asked this, watching as lan’s face remained expressionless
After a long while, lan finally said, “Track Pearsons location.”
But he didn’t mention Maja
Jeff wanted to ask if they should look for Maja, but seeing lan’s indifferent expression, he swallowed his words.
