lan turned his head to see a drunk Gerber.
He remembered this face. The last time he was at Silverstone Enterprises, this guy gave Nathan a
tongue–lashing.
Now Gerber, supported by a friend, was still cursing Nathan nonstop.
“I just don’t get it. What’s he got to do with Penny that he actually got her help and stole my spot? He’ll
get his comeuppance sooner or later. I’ve got other options without Silverstone Enterprises. I’ll make
him pay!”
“I have a feeling there’s something fishy about those two!”
Nathan stole his spot?
lan recalled bumping into Nathan and Penny at Silverstone Enterprises in the morning and sneered.
Helping her husband get a promotion, she had a lot on her plate. But that’s none of his business.
lan just gave Gerber a cold glance and walked into the bar.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGerber could only come to such a high–end bar tonight thanks to a friend’s influence. He had never
been here before.
The place was full of rich folks, and many people from Greenfield’s social circle liked to hang out there.
Tonight, a welcome party was being held for Carlene Shepard.
Carlene had a good and modest reputation, so many women at her age liked her, including Mia
Haskins.
So when Mia saw Carlene, her eyes lit up.
“Carlene, you’re finally back! We’re going to have another super beauty around!”
Escorted by Dana Shepard, Carlene was seated in the middle of a group of female friends.
Everyone in the room was watching Carlene and showing great enthusiasm towards her.
After all, she was the only girlfriend lan had ever publicly acknowledged.
Maybe before this month ends, she’ll already be Mrs. Raymond.
People might find it hard to get close to lan, but Carlene would be much more approachable.
lan had studied abroad for three years with experiences on Wall Street and in Silicon Valley. It wasn’t
easy to make a name for oneself in these places, but he did it. Among the younger generation, he was
definitely top–notch.
So, as soon as he returned to the country, he took over complete control of the Raymond Corporation.
While he was abroad, he had been handling the affairs of the Raymond Corporation remotely.
The stock price of the Raymond Corporation had doubled, and Holden Raymond was proud when
mentioning him.
And lan is still young, not even 24 yet. The financial world is his for the taking in the next 30 years.
Getting in touch with him would bring significant profits.
Surrounded by greetings, Carlene always had a smile on her face.
The Shepard family was not initially eligible to access such circles, but she was lan’s girlfriend.
Sitting next to her, Dana also benefited and got to know many socialites.
At that moment, everyone was laughing.
“Carlene, lan’s Greenfield Gardens is under construction. I heard you’re moving in with him. Is it true?
Are you guys getting married once the house is done?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs for lan’s current wife, no one thought she was important.
Until now, they didn’t even know what the woman looked like, let alone her name.
All they knew was that she was not a socialite, and her family needed support from the Raymond
family. This background was inferior to the Shepard family.
Carlene had been lan’s crush for years, so his so–called wife was simply no match.
Carlene wanted to appear more reserved, but seeing so many people asking, she just smiled.
“I’ve seen Greenfield Gardens before. I really like the floor plan there.”
The implication was that lan was decorating the house for her, and naturally, she would move in.
Although the villa wasn’t big, the layout was indeed good. Many people were interested in it at the time,
but when they heard that lan wanted to buy it, no one else bid for it.
After all, everyone has more than one villa, and it would be a bonus to please Mr. Raymond. Why
wouldn’t they do that?
“Carlene, we heard that Holden still likes Mr. Raymond’s current wife. Have you met her?”
Hearing this question, Carlene’s face turned a little sour.
lan didn’t respect that woman; why should she bother to meet her?
“I’ve mentioned this to lan, but he said there’s no need for me to meet her.”
With these words, everyone around understood that lan had decided to get a divorce.
