Chapter 1467

Ian thought that in return, he would give some shares to Elaine after taking down Synergy.

Elaine wanted benefits, and he would give them without holding back.

However, he forgot about one thing: ' feelings’.

When people were bound by marriage, even if they didn’t love each other, they would develop feelings
if they stayed together for too long.

He hadn’t been too drunk the other night, so he clearly remembered what she had done.He had come
across many women, so he could tell when they were genuine toward him.

Elaine was more secretive and didn’t show much.He could see how she tried to distance herself, and
she knew that what they had was ‘business’.

Elaine looked down and understood what he meant.

After a moment, she asked, "So, we can just stay engaged, can’t we?"

Ian didn’t answer.

Elaine looked calm.

"Once you get what you want, we could just call off our engagement."

She thought that it would be simple for them to get married, but she was hesitating now that they were
just engaged.She could guarantee that once they got married, she might be unable to keep herself
from falling for him.

How could she not fall? Still, she was sharp.



What he had said translated into ‘ not to fall for him’, because nothing good would come out of that.

Ian looked down and pressed his lips together.

The dinner ended in silence.

When they left, he wanted to drive her home as usual because they were still engaged.

She didn't object and walked toward his car with him.

But once they got to the garage, a group of people suddenly rushed out from nowhere and surrounded
them.

Ian subconsciously stood in front of Elaine to shield her.

A car was parked behind the group of people.

A man with an eyepatch walked out of it and flashed a bright smile.

"It’s been a while.Are you Owen or Ian now?"

Ian squinted as he recognized the man.

"Tyrese, you’re out."

Tyrese took out a pack of cigarettes and ripped up the packaging.

"It’s been 10 years.I’ve served my time, so they had to let me out.Owen, I thought you were my
brother."

He creepily looked at Elaine hiding behind Ian.

"This i s your lady?"



Ian’s face froze.

"This is between you and me.Leave her out of it."

He pushed Elaine.

"Go back."

Elaine looked at them, then back at him.

"What about you?"

Ian frowned.

"I'll just have a chat.You should leave."

Tyrese laughed.

"I never thought that there would be a woman you would want to protect.You seem to have turned into
a loverboy after so many years.You don’t use women anymore?"

Ian calmly replied, "There’s nothing going on between us, so I’m not going to use her."

Tyrese smirked.

"Nothing going on between you? Great then."

He put one cigarette between his lips and got the lighter.

"I haven’t tasted a woman in 10 years.Why don’t you give her to me? We’ll have some fun."

Ian’s face dropped.



Elaine looked at him.

He wasn’t going to give her to him, was he? Ian looked at him.

"She’s too good for you."

Tyrese wasn’t happy about that.

Ian continued.

"You just got out of prison.She’s not like the women you’ve been with.Shouldn't you look into her
background before laying your hands on her?"

Tyrese paused.

He could have gotten anything he wanted in the past, but he trusted Ian, which was the mistake that
led to his downfall.
