Dear Ex-wife Marry Me (Maja and Ian) novel Chapter 606

Chapter 606 

currently very concerned that there are only two or three days left before Raymond Corporation’s investment day, and tomorrow is lan’s birthday again. 

Rumours are flying that lan is smitten with a young designer. Carlene knows she needed to move, or the Shepard family might miss out on the Raymond Corporation’s help. 

Just then, she got a call saying something’s been delivered. 

Carlene frowned and went to retrieve the item, only to discover it was a notebook with a damaged chip inside. 

Recalling that lan had inspected her notebook before, it hits her- this notebook must hold some huge secret. 

This could be the very thing lan and Fitch have been searching for! 

Carlene was thrilled and dialled lan immediately. 

It’s nearing midnight, and at the stroke of twelve, it will be lan’s birthday. 

Friends have been asking how he plans to celebrate this year. 

Usually, he would hang out with Tyler and the guys first, but this year Holden has returned, and he must go home first to see Holden first… 

At 11:50, Carlene sent a text, and even attached a photo. 

[lan, is this what you were looking for?] 

lan, looking at the photo of the notebook with a chip, immediately forwards it to Fitch. 

Fitch confirmed right away, “That’s the notebook at Carlene’s?” 

Carlene sent another text to lan saying she would deliver it personally and wished him a happy birthday. 

She was so pumped she headed straight out the door and into her car. 

But she only got three kilometres before she stopped. 

A car was blocking her path. She tried to reverse, but suddenly, there were two cars behind her. 

Carlene watched as several bodyguards approached her vehicle and to her shock, they opened her locked car door. 

She screamed in fear as a masked man stepped out of the car in front. 

“Where’s the item?” 

Carlene’s pupils dilate. She was planning to use this item as a ticket to the Shepard family’s prosperity! 

Maybe she could even replace Maja and marry lan! 

But in this critical moment, she finds courage from somewhere, steps on the gas and bolts. 

The masked man didn’t expect this move. The car blocking her path gets shoved aside, and Carlene’s car starts smoking. 

The man’s eyes were icy as he ordered his bodyguards to pursue her, “Handle it before lan and Fitch’s people get here.” 

Two cars immediately chased after Carlene. 

Carlene’s car got hit hard, and smoke billows even more. 

Her car catches fire, and that’s when she starts to panic. 

“Help! Help!” 

She flings open the door and scrambles out, completely forgetting the allure of wealth. Nothing was more important than survival! 

But she left the notebook in the flaming car, and a corner caught fire. 

The bodyguards were about to rush over, but just then, lan and Fitch’s car arrived. 

Carlene sat by the road crying, watching the cars chasing her quickly make a U–turn and disappear. 

lan and Fitch walk over to her. 

“Where’s the notebook?” Fitch looks a bit anxious. 

Carlene, still crying, pointed to the burning car. The notebook is already half burnt. 

lan is about to rush over, but Fitch stops him. 

The next second, the car explodes due to the fire, and the notebook is completely consumed by the roaring flames. 

lan’s eyes are slightly red, his expression cold, as he silently watches the burning car. 

Carlene realizes she’s been rescued and immediately throws herself at his legs. 

“lan, I almost died.” 

Ian doesn’t respond. Fitch knows he’s upset. After all, the truth about his brother’s death could’ve been in that notebook. 

“lan.” Fitch pats his shoulder while Carlene continues to sob, clinging to his legs. 

lan felt annoyed and asked Carlene, “Has the notebook been with you all along?”
