lan sat behind his desk, his face still cold and impassive. He had made a brief trip back to Raymond

Mansion at noon, only to discover that the other party had stood him up. His impression of them had

already been negative and only worsened.

The office door swung open, and Jeff entered, holding a stack of files. “Boss, we received a call from

the doctor abroad. They said Holden Raymond is preparing for his surgery, and he’ll be back home in

about a week.”

lan was taken aback. He rubbed his temples, fell silent for a moment, and then spoke in a flat tone,

“Have the lawyers draft a new contract. The Raymond Corporation is willing to assist the Pennyfeather

family with their second round of financing. The condition is that this wife in name only plays house with

me.”

His voice was indifferent, referring to her as a wife in name only because he didn’t even know her

name. The old man always referred to her as Maja. As for her actual name, he couldn’t care less.

Jeff nodded and immediately set to work arranging the contract. The lawyers swiftly drafted the

document, and in less than half an hour, it was sent to lan for approval. After he agreed, the contract

was printed, and lan signed it without hesitation.

Within forty minutes, the lawyer signed the contract and headed towards Maja’s apartment.

When Maja returned from the studio, she contemplated explaining why she hadn’t shown up to lan. If

he became angry and took it out on the Pennyfeather family, she wouldn’t be able to fulfill Neil’s wish.

Should she send a message to explain or call to apologize?

As she debated, the doorbell rang. Opening the door, Maja found a suited man standing outside.

“Ms. Pennyfeather, hello. This is the contract Mr. Raymond asked me to deliver to you. Mr. Raymond

has already signed it, so you can take a look.”

Maja initially thought it was a divorce agreement, but upon,inspection, she realized it wasn’t. The

contract outlined the Raymond Corporation’s willingness to assist the Pennyfeather family with their

second financing round. It also stipulated that she needed to be lan’s partner.

This was precisely what she needed. Relief washed over her, and a small smile curved her lips as her

eyes settled on lan’s name. His signature was bold, displaying his dissatisfaction.

Reaching for the pen on the side table, Maja was about to sign her name when a thought occurred to

her. “Is there no time limit?” She could handle a year or two or even five. But if lan expected her to play

house for ten or twenty years, would she be bound by this marriage contract for the rest of her life?

“Holden is about to return, and Mr. Raymond doesn’t want to worsen his condition. Once Holden

recovers, you’ll get divorced. If there are any additional compensation arrangements needed then…”

“No need Maja interrupted, signing her name without hesitation

The lawyer was slightly surprised, thinking she might have needed to read the terms more thoroughly.

He felt the need to remind her seriously, “Ms. Pennyfeather, the contract also states that once it’s

terminated, which would be when you get divorced, do you have any additional requests? Mr.

Raymond is willing to provide compensation.”

He wondered how she could be so calm about divorcing a man like lan. Could it be an act? Was she

attempting to win him over in this way?

But Maja had already handed over the signed contract. “I’m quite satisfied. The day the contract ends

is the day I divorce him.”

The lawyer was stunned, needing a moment to adjust his glasses. “Ms. Pennyfeather, do you have any

other requests?”

Considering that Mr. Raymond had agreed to the conditions, he would likely comply as long as they

weren’t too unreasonable.;

Maja shook her head and pointed to her laptop on the coffee table. “I have work to do, so I won’t see

you out.”

The lawyer felt slightly awkward, realizing that he had been too eager. He quickly nodded and said,

“Okay, Ms. Pennyfeather, carry on with your work.”

As he left the apartment building, he was still puzzled. He had prepared a multitude of words to handle

any unreasonable demands Maja might make in this opportunity. Mr. Raymond himself had the same

expectations.

But Maja showed no sign of holding on. Could it be that she was the one who desired the divorce

more?
