Chapter 253
News of Carlene’s return to the country spread like wildfire. Those in the know about her past with lan began speculating when he would divorce and reunite with Carlene.
Samuel was at a bar with friends who also knew Carlene and fan. They were some of the first to hear the news. Sure, the Shepard family was loaded, but they weren’t exactly aristocracy. Still, because of Carlene and lan’s history, she was well entrenched in Greenfield’s social scene “When do you reckon Carlene will officially join the Raymond clan?” someone casually brought up the topic, which instantly sparked a lively
debate.
“She was his first love, so I give it a month tops before she’s part of the Raymond clan. As for fans wife, my guess is she’s a plain Jane. Otherwise, why haven’t we ever seen her at public events? She didn’t even show up to lan’s welcome back party”
“Do any of you know her? She hasn’t shown her face in three years, maybe she’s just not into the whole social scene
“I heard she only got into the Raymond family because she saved Holden’s life. Talk about luck, a lot of people in Greenfield would kill for that opportunity.”
“But if she doesn’t want to leave, the Raymond family might have some trouble on their hands. After all, her husband is lan
Samuel, nursing a glass of red wine, found the conversation amusing
“Why are you all so sure that lan’s wife doesn’t want a divorce? Sure, the Raymonds are rich and lan’s a looker, but not all women care about that stuff. All the money in the world can’t buy her smile. Maybe she’s been laying low because she’s already prepping to leave.”
Everyone at the table chuckled at Samuel’s words.
One woman retorted, “Mr. Brown, quit pulling our legs. If lan hadn’t been with Carlene back then, there’d be a line of women knocking down the Raymond’s door. You remember how many hearts were broken when he first got with Carlene. I heard the bars were packed that night, filled with girls from our circle. So, I think lan’s wife is desperate to keep him. But lan won’t stick around for her.”
She was adamant and clearly a little envious that lan’s wife had her name next to his on a marriage license.
Samuel swirled his wine and chuckled at the general disdain for lan’s wife.
“I’ve met her.”
The room instantly fell silent, everyone looking at him in surprise.
Samuel took a slow sip of his wine, grinning from ear to ear, “If she gets divorced, I’ll be the first one to make a move.”
Everyone laughed, assuming he was joking.
Samuel was a notorious playboy, always chasing after supermodels or celebrities. He had high standards and a reputation for discarding women with a quick payout after having his fun, if he was serious, then lan’s wife could be a stunner. But if she was that attractive, why wasn’t she making public appearances?
*Samuel, everyone knows you’ve got high standards for women. You’re just messing with us,” someone called out.
Samuel had recently taken over his company and even managed to buy out Silver’s company after their scandal. He was on a roll.
At that moment, he had an image of Maja in his mind, a playful spark in his eyes
“I’d live three years in the harshest conditions for just one night with her.”
The room was silent before someone started teasing him.
“Samuel, are you planning on stealing lan’s wife?”
“I’ve already discussed this with lan. He said if I like her he’d let her go.”
He sat down, resting his head on one hand, “But I worry that when he comes to his senses, he won’t want to let her go
The room was filled with laughter again with everyone convinced Samuel was joking. Because aside from Carlene, there was no woman lan wouldn’t let go of Everyone knew he was conservative when it came to relationships. He hadn’t even slept with Carlene when they were together and admitted during a game that he’d only recently lost his virginity.
He had serious willpower
These playboys had all had their fun with women, changing partners frequently, no longer sticking to their original crowd. The women were the same. Once they had everything they wanted, they craved other thrills, lan, with his focus on work, was the odd one out
Carlene had just been lucky enough to catch his eye back in the day
