Chapter 274

After half an hour’s drive, they finally arrived at Greenfield Gardens.

Maja was the first one to get out of the car. She saw Carlene and Dana also get off and then pointed

ahead.

“Please come in, Ms. Shepard.”

Carlene was pleased with her attitude, so she followed her in.

The layout of Greenfield Gardens was trendy at the beginning, and there was also a circular garden

covering an area of one thousand square meters around it.

This villa exclusively owns this garden, but now it’s still a desolate lawn that needs Maja’s design.

Maja led the two to a pillar. Because it was under construction, it was very noisy and dusty.

Carlene frowned and waved her hand in front of her.

Dana also felt a bit uncomfortable, worried about inhaling dust.

Maja walked ahead, pointing to the pillar that had been leveled.

“Ms. Shepard, here it is.”

It was still daytime, and the sun shone in here. Because the pillar had been removed, the place was full

of sunlight.

But the layout of Greenfield Gardens was already perfect, and extra sunlight wasn’t needed, or else it

would be too hot.

Carlene looked around and saw dust everywhere. She didn’t want to stay here any longer and couldn’t

come up with any good ideas for the moment, but since she had come, she had to offer some

suggestions.

“We could make this a pet playground. This area is over sixty square meters, plenty of space for pets to

bask in the sun.”

Maja was slightly surprised, “Ms. Shepard, Mr. Raymond is allergic to dog hair.”

“I know, but I have a ragdoll cat and a golden gradient cat. He has seen them and likes them very

much. The sunlight here is so good; if you can’t come up with any other uses, you could design a

space for my two cats.”

Maja didn’t expect Carlene to make such a suggestion. She took out her phone, ready to call lan.

Upon seeing this, Carlene’s face cooled down, “lan said I could make suggestions, and now you’re

calling him?”

Maja’s hand didn’t stop moving; her tone was calm, “Ms. Shepard, is your name on the property

certificate?”

Carlene’s face froze instantly, and her eyes became sharp, “What do you mean?”

“I’m sorry, I’m the designer and serve the owner. If the owner later has any problem with my design,

can you take responsibility? If not, it’s reasonable for me to ask Mr. Raymond first.”

“I can take responsibility.”

Carlene’s words were firm, “In two months at the latest, I’ll be Mrs. Raymond. You don’t need to waste

your energy now.”

Maja was unclear whether Carlene’s “waste your energy” referred to calling lan now or pursuing lan’s

favor.

Maja heard her warning and put away her phone.

“All right, then I’ll listen to you and design a pet playground here.”

Carlene was finally satisfied; then she started to pry again, “Penny, you’re so young. Do you have a

boyfriend? Does your industry place much emphasis on reputation? If there’s any relationship with the

owner, will it cause a complaint to the studio?”

If it was only a vague threat before, it has become apparent now.

Maja chuckled, “Rest assured, I’ve always had a good reputation, and I’m already married; you should

know that, right?”

She really didn’t want any more trouble. Carlene was more challenging than Dana, and Carlene’s

position in the Shepard family was higher. If she provoked the entire Shepard family, it would be very

troublesome. It’s better to eliminate her doubts directly.

Carlene was a bit surprised and subconsciously looked at Dana. Dana hadn’t told her about this.

Dana’s face was a bit unnatural. She didn’t tell Carlene because she wanted to confront Penny and

also because of her own selfishness, which she couldn’t let Carlene know.

Maja still smiled, “If you don’t believe me, you can ask Mr. Brown from Elite Edge Consortium. When

Mr. Brown pursued me, I clarified that my husband and I have no plans to divorce due to family

reasons.”

And because of the birthday party of the Raymond family before, many people didn’t know that lan was

married. But Holden wanted to clear Maja’s name, so he announced it. Only then did others gradually

find out.

Maja hated trouble, and since she had already talked to Samuel, she believed that even if someone

asked Samuel, he would help her hide it.

Just then, Carlene’s phone rang. It was lan.

A smile flashed in Carlene’s eyes, and she answered the phone in front of Maja.

“lan.”

“Did you see the house?”

S

Carlene’s tone was coquettish, “I saw it; I’ve already given Penny some suggestions.”

lan’s hand paused; his fingertip moved unnaturally. If Carlene had given Penny suggestions, why didn’t

she call him?
