Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1504

He just couldn't accept it.

His gaze shifted from Ian to Maja.

A few seconds later, he let out a mocking laugh.

"If I didn’t remove the few needles in her, she'll be a vegetable for life. It would be the case unless you can find someone from the research lab, but they're all devils in there. Do you think they'd want to help you?"

Without responding, Ian just carried Maja and led the way.

Patric, held down by two men, suddenly yelled out.

"Ian!"

Ian paused, wondering what this guy had left to say.

But Patric just hung his head and muttered under his breath.

"Why."

"Why do you get all the breaks?"

Ian's brows furrowed; he had no clue what the guy was on about.

"Keep a grip on him and keep up with me."

"Got it."

The group hurried towards Oliver's location.

However, as they were getting into the car, Ian caught sight of another young man standing by the flames.

It was Quentin, the enigmatic elder.

The word Ian had written on the table with his tea was 'Collaborate'.

He wasn't sure whether Quentin would agree, but, luckily for him, it seemed like Quentin was turning a blind eye to everything happening on Inner Island.

Ian was no fool; he always felt that Quentin's apparent help was actually intended for someone else.

But for whom?

He didn't know, yet it was his side that reaped the benefits.

He held Maja close and watched as Quentin emerged step by step from the glow of the fire.

Tonight, Patric's plan had nearly worked, but Quentin was the true master of Forbidden Island.

Patric, with all his calculations, had failed to see that most of the people on Inner Island were Quentin's informants, even members of the major families.

But leaving Forbidden Island wasn't going to be easy.

"Ian, K's people have laid a trap outside."

"I know. I've got my own people waiting to back me up. I'm asking you again, do you want out?"

Quentin remained still. At this moment, he began to see why Maja might fall for a man like this.

There was something pure and untainted in both their souls.

Footsteps approached from behind Quentin, and someone knelt down.

"Elder, the Boss wants to see you."

The state of Forbidden Island would surely alarm his stepfather.

Knowing he had disappointed him, he had no idea what awaited him.

"No thanks, take care."

He turned and walked away without hesitation in the opposite direction.

Without saying anything more, Ian just got into the car with Maja in his arms.
