Chapter 237
After Maja left the villa, she felt as if she was on fire with embarrassment. She took a deep breath to
calm herself down. After all, she needed to sort out Leo’s mess as soon as possible, so that she could
return to Greenfield without any worries
She had already dug up some info on the big boss named Emory. His personal life was pretty clean,
and he was quite committed to his work There didn’t seem to be any dirt on him.
This time he was furious clearly because of Leo’s actions. Who wouldn’t be? His son was beaten up
and needed over twenty stitches
After a thorough search, Maja finally found a picture of Emory and Samuel on the Crystalbrook Valley’s
official Twitter account. The photo was taken last year, with the two of them celebrating the launch of a
project
After checking out the Twitter account, she called Samuel.
His voice came through quickly,
“Penny, what’s up? Missing me?”
Maja pretended not to hear that and asked, “Did you meet someone named Emory when you were in
Crystalbrook Valley last year?”
Given all the people Samuel had to meet for work every year it was hard for him to remember
everyone’s name, so Maja sent him the photo
“Check out the guy in this photo. Do you remember him?”
Samuel vaguely remembered, chuckling. “You need a favor, right? Out with it
So Maja told him about Leo’s problem. Samuel rubbed his forehead.
“Isn’t the Raymond Corporation currently doing business with Crystalbrook Valley? It’s a big project.
Isn’t lan dealing with their management these days? Wouldn’t it be quicker to ask him?”
Maja knew he was taking a dig at her, but she was the one asking for help here.
“He is too busy to deal with my small problems, and we’re just on friendly terms.”
Samuel laughed again, “Alright, I’ll call Emory. But even if he agrees not to press charges, your cousin
will have to pay. Over twenty stitches is no small matter, you understand that, right?”
“I understand, as long as my cousin doesn’t end up behind bars.”
After hanging up, Maja heard a cough behind her. She stiffened Turning around, she saw lan, Fannie,
Jeff, and a few other directors who had been with lan..
She had no idea how long they had been standing there. Maja felt so unlucky this year. It seemed like
every time she mentioned lan, he was right there.
And Emory, the boss she was talking about, seemed to recognize ber face, Just as he was about to
speak, his phone rang. It was a call from the big boss of Greenfield, so he answered.
“Samuel, hello.”
After exchanging greetings, Emory heard Samuel mention Leas incident. His son was alright, and the
Elston family were willing to compensate All he needed to do was to let Leo off the hook. He was more
than willing to respect Samuel’s request
After all, they had future collaborations to consider. If he respected Samuel this time, perhaps he could
get a good deal in the future.
After agreeing, they talked about the project a bit more, then hung up. Emory looked at Maja and
smiled, “I remember now. You’re Leo’s cousin, Samuel told me I agree with your solution.” Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
Maja felt very uncomfortable at the moment. Samuel had acted too quickly and at such an awkward
moment. She felt the mockery in lan’s eyes, as if he was laughing at her for running from one person to
another, even calling for help.
Hadn’t he also run into her when she was having dinner with Samuel last time?
But now that Emory had spoken, Maja had no choice but to respond. “Thank you, my cousin will
apologize.”
“You managed to get Samuel’s help. You’re quite proficient, haha.”
Emory said, then turned to lan, “Mr. Raymond, let’s escort you to your car. The project is settled. We
look forward to the arrival of the Raymond Corporation’s team.”
Jan nodded, not looking at Maja again.
Maja felt as if she was frozen in place. It wasn’t until fan’s car drove away that she touched her
forehead, feeling troubled.
Ugh. She didn’t know how much of that conversation lan had overheard.
