After Divorce, I Return As CEO Chapter 144 Please Save Him.
Gadreel sat in his office, head leaned against the headrest of his chair and eyes closed. In the darkness of his mind, a foreign memory played out.It was that of a kid, Ivory, he knew from her red hair which had been packed into two even pony tails and golden eyes.The young girl was seated at the foot of a bed, watching him, dream him, try to build a castle out of the new set of building blocks his parents had given him.There was a pout on her lips and after a little while, she had gotten up, approached him, and without so much as remorse, kicked the entire castle down, ruining the work he had spent hours on.The feeling was vague, but Gadreel, at that point, recalled being angry, but when the kid Ivory had looked down at him, her pout deepened, and those golden eyes had filled with unshed tears, his anger vanished.All that had remained was confusion and guilt.Why was she about to cry? Was it his fault? Why was she-"Stop playing with those stupid things!" She cried, reaching for

Although she wasn’t particularly pleased with how she had to kneel down and beg, Samantha knew it was for the best.As she walked towards her car, wiping the tears off her cheek, she recalled how, three days ago, the doctor’s had delivered the news of Lionel’s condition, and how he needed another surgery.She had been horrified, scared and devastated. As much as she was angry at Lionel for having cheated on her and even had the audacity to get another woman pregnant when he refused to sleep with her without making her drink contraceptives the following morning, Samantha still loved him.That was part of the reason why she had hit Evangeline when the girl had spoken out of place.She didn’t want Lionel to die, she had prayed day and night and when she saw the reveal of who Arnett was, she felt like the universe was mocking her, at the same time, giving her a solution to her current misfortune and although she wasn’t too pleased to go running to Ivory for help, she knew the girl was the

Breakfast, by the time they were having it, had eventually turned into brunch.Ivory had sat opposite Gadreel, with Emma beside her. At first, she had been rather quiet, focusing mostly on her meal and trying her best to ignore Gadreel’s lingering eyes on her, but the more he and Emma talked, the easier she started to feel around him.“You should have seen Ivory’s face,” Emma said at one point, recounting an event during their college examination days where some geeky male classmate of their had asked Ivory out. “Dude had snort running down his nose and when he walked up to her, he just-“Emma had burst out laughing, the scene in her mind playing over and over again. However, she was the only one who happened to find it funny.Not only did Ivory hate the recollection of her past, especially in front of Gadreel, she was also embarrassed by her younger self.“Shut up, would you.” She had grumbled.“Hey, why are you so grumpy?” Emma asked, wiping the tears in her eyes. “It’s just a memor

As soon as Ivory stepped back inside, she was startled by Gadreel who had, well, easy dropped on the conversation.“You,” She began, glaring at him. “You really don’t have any manner, now do you?”Gadreel didn’t answer, but he was kind enough to offer her a smile. Ah, the usual hot and cold signals from him. At one point, Ivory would think that she can read him, then the very next, he’d become an enigma to her.Why does she still bother humoring his rubbish?“It seems you’ve eaten to your fill,” Ivory said and pointed towards the front door. “Then, take your leave.”Gadreel still remained silent, but when he pushed off the wall, eyes remaining focused on hers, he asked a question that completely caught Ivory off guard.“Are you really engaged to him,” His eyes dropped down to the paper she was carrying before he asked. “Are you?”Ivory moved the paper to her back and answered as snappy as possible. “I don’t think that’s any of your business.”“Is it not?” Gadreel asked, walking toward

Lucien recalled when he had first met Ivory. He had, once again, gotten a perfect score on the Luminary quarterly exam, but, with there being no one to show it to, he was once again, like he had done with his past results, about to burn it.The fire had already consumed the tip, when suddenly, the paper has been snatched from his hand.“Heh, what the hell do you think you’re doing?”The face has first registered, before the voice did. She looked frail, mistreated from the bruises on her cheek and her hair, cheekbone length at that time, looked like it had been cut uneveningly.In short, she looked abandoned, and in some way, that reminded him of himself.“Why would you-“ She was in the middle of scolding him when she had seen his score and her eyes went wide. “Wow, a perfect score.” She breathed out, clearly impressed.It was the first time someone had looked impressed by his performance. His classmate and teachers, even his mother, saw it as a regular duty for him to always have perf

With two whole days of rest, Ivory was ready to perform her second surgery, ever since returning to the medical field and her patient, so happened to be her father.“Ms. Remington,” Doctor Kline greeted, extending a hand in her direction.“Doctor,” Ivory returned the gesture.“I know you are family, but thank you for agreeing to do the surgery.”“Not a problem at all.” Ivory said, waving her hand with a tight smile on her lips. “Could I please see his medical chart?”“Oh, of course.”Handing the document over, the Doctor pointed at the most crucial parts and said, “These are the points where he is at most risk. The internal bleeding has made his heart rather weak and he is prone to sudden cardiac arrest, hence the reason why the surgery needs to be done as soon as possible.”“I see,” Ivory read the entire chart, fighting the frown that threatened to make it’s way to her face. After a little while, she nodded her head, getting the full understanding of the situation and what she needed

The hospital machine had flat lined. All around, nurses and assisting doctors moved around, gathering the equipment of their failed operation.On the table, the unconscious body of Lionel Remington laid, lifeless, something, his very daughter, Ivory had never expected to see.She hated him, despised him even, but, never had she wanted him to die. He was her father, the man she loved, looked up to and idolized when things had been sunny side up.She wanted him punished for the wrong he did, but never had she considered what her life would have been if he was gone, because that was never in the equation.But now, seeing his lifeless body on the bed, she could easily feel her heart shaking, beating hard and loud in her chest. Her ear had been ringing for the better part of the since the doctor had announced Lionel dead.The back of her eyes burned with tears, but the shock was too much, and she couldn’t bring herself to cry.All she could do was stare, while her brain worked a mile a min

Ivory’s perfect description of a place that is quiet, serene, calm and perfect to think, had surprisingly turned out to be the empty dock front, that Gadreel had taken her to a while back.It was a far cry from her original definition of perfection, the four walls of her bedroom, but, the moment she saw the water, the gentle sway of the waves, and the calm and peaceful atmosphere, her mind was immediately drawn to it.Sitting on the edge, her legs dangling off, she sighed, heavily, before, looking down, and watching her feet move, up and down, almost like the water, below her.Her head hurt, her stomach was doing summersaults and the feeling, was slowly creeping up her throat.It had only been an hour or so, since the incident had happened, and Ivory had left the hospital, but it was already causing so many different feelings in her heart.It was the first time she had ever failed a surgery, not even during her training days, had she ever allowed herself to make a mistake, and that wa

The air suddenly became thick and the bile rising in Ivory’s throat, seemed to intensify as she waited for Lucien to answer.However, no answer came.After what felt like an eternity, Ivory pressed. “Did you? Did you kill Peter and everyone on this list? And what for?”She glanced back at the paper, her frown intensifying as she said. “Experiment? With the devil’s breath?”Her voice was sharp, holding a reprimanding edge to it that Lucien normally would have felt bad when he heard it. But not today.In fact, Ivory had only just now noticed, it wasn’t just his smile and warmth, but everything about him seemed different.Even the air surrounding him had changed, a silent warning that if she kept pressing down this path, she’d discover things that are meant to stay hidden, for her sake.But Ivory ignored all that. To help with hidden secret! The potential maker of her one of her problems, w

Ivory drove up the driveway leading to the Varga estate and got out. From the moment she had gotten in, a very uneasy feeling had settled in her gut.The house was quiet, and eerily so.With a frown on her face, Ivory walked towards the main entrance. It was a big, double door that was always opened, but today, it was closed.Her frown deepened.Reaching out, she rang the bell. A few seconds later, the sound of footsteps approached the door, and the next thing Ivory knew, the door swung open and standing in front of her, was none other than, Lucien.“We need to-“ She began, but stopped when she noticed how he was looking.Black visibly circles were under his eyes, and his face, looked tired, as if he hadn’t gotten a single bit of sleep in a long time.“What happened?” Ivory asked, forgetting her original intentions of confronting him.“Nothing,” Came Lucien’s answer. Then he looke

Standing in front of Remington Crop, Ivory took a deep breath, readying herself for what was too happen.It was day 14, two weeks since the death of her father. She was sure the news of her inheriting the CEO position of Remington Crop, through his will, would have spread like wildfire. So, around 2 AM last night, she had decided, it was time to come into Remington Crop, make her presence known and start the merger as soon as possible.That was the only way she could focus on other things; Ivory deemed.However, now, as she stood in front of the company, she couldn’t help but think that things weren’t going to go as easy as she wanted them to. But, nonetheless, she drew in a deep breath, soothing the anxiety that had began to bubble in the pit of her stomach, before stepping in.The first thing that greeted her was the stares. All heads turned in her direction, looking at her with a gaze of scrutiny and those who knew who she was, whispered wo

The ride back was comfortably quiet. Ivory sat in the passenger seat, looking out the window as she thought back to what Gabriella had said.At some point, she thought about when Gabriella had mentioned having Grandchildren and her cheek heated up ever so slightly.Ah, that sly old woman, she knew exactly what she was doing.“Did my grandmother say something?”Ivory flinched at the sound of his voice, it was calm, startling her from her train of thought.“Huh?” She asked.“You’ve been awfully quiet, the whole time.” Gadreel pointed out, keeping his eyes on the road, but for some reason, Ivory felt like he was looking at her. “Is there something wrong? Did grandmother say something to you?”“No, nothing like that.” She quickly assured. “Your grandmother,” She paused for a few seconds, then chuckled, more at the fact that she allowed herself to be bothered by

With Samantha, the house’s last residence, now gone, the big huge house, immediately felt lifeless. Standing in the living room, Ivory took a look around and sighed.It wasn't the first time she had been here, alone. In fact, there were many times when she had returned to the manor after school, and found it empty.But, this was different. This time, the house was really empty. And for the first time in her life, Ivory realized how much she truly loathed it.In the past, when her family was still together, she had absolutely loved this place, treating it like a castle. Now, after everything had happened, and the people were now gone, she couldn’t help but realize how empty the house was.A thought to sell the property crossed her mind, but the very next second, she dismissed it. After all, she could never do that. Not only was the manor built with so many memories, but the house, was also her mother’s pride.To sell it, was like denying her mother’s legacy.Sighing, she took another l
After Divorce, I Return As CEO Chapter 161 Putting An End To Her Schemes
After the strange meeting with Aurora and having nothing else to do in the company for the time being, Ivory had decided to clock out. But she wasn’t heading home, rather, she went straight to the family house.Initially, she had decided to give Samantha a little time before kicking her out, forcefully, as she knew things would come to that level, but after that encounter with Aurora and the recording she had heard, Ivory didn’t just want to kick her out, she wanted to put an end to the woman’s schemes.Once and for all.So, about thirty minutes drive and one brief, yet important pit stop later, Ivory was walking through the gates of the Remington Manor and into the main house.She didn’t need to announce her presence or call out to her so called stepmother, because the very moment she walked into the living area, she was met with the very sight of Samantha.“What’s the meaning of this?”It was the first words that escaped Samantha’s lips the moment she saw her. Her eyes narrowed dang
After Divorce, I Return As CEO Chapter 160 Was Going To Get Her One Way Or Another
Ivory wasn’t sure which to be more surprised by; the dramatic bow Aurora has just made, or the fact that her last name was Varga, the very same one as Lucien’s.No, It definitely had to be the latter.“Varga?” She asked, giving off the very emotion that Aurora knew she would.Confusion.“Are you by any chance related-““Yes,” She cut her off with a smile, know exactly where Ivory was going. “Lucien, he’s my son.”Immediately those words left her mouth, Aurora had expected Ivory to jump at the opportunity and apologize profusely for her rude behavior so far, but much to her disappointment, it seemed to have the opposite effect on Ivory.Ah, what had that wonderful child of hers said about her to make Ivory react this way? She could only but wonder as she watched the girl in front of her, look her over from head to toe, before giving a bow that was anything but polite.“I apologize if I had behaved rudely towards you, Mrs. Varga. Please accept my apology, I was unaware of the fact that

The shareholders were, needless to say, surprised, when they suddenly heard that Ivory had called for a meeting. But, with what she had done to the previous shareholders looming within the walls of the company like a death threat, no one dared to question her.So, when the time of the meeting had finally arrived, Ivory found herself surrounded by the remaining top shareholders.“Now,” she began, taking her seat at the head of the table. “I know, everyone’s confused and wondering why I’ve called you here, but, please, bear with me.” Taking a look around the table, she gauged every of their reaction, before continuing.“I’m sure many of you are aware of the passing of Lionel Remington, my father,”A chorus of muttered condolences and sympathies filled the room and Ivory nodded.“Thank you. However, with his passing, and the reading of his will, a more expectation, has been placed on my shoulder, unlike never before. With his passing, I was left with the responsibility of taking over Rem

Ivory had expected nothing less from the woman, so, she was not surprised. In fact, it was amusing, and if not for the fact that this woman, was her father’s widow, she would have burst into laughter.“That’s interesting.” She began, a small smirk on her lips. “You want to take over Remington Crop, when it was clearly stated in my father’s will that it had been left to me.”Leaning forward, she stared the woman in the eye and asked. “Are you trying to get on my nerves, Samantha?”The woman, although she seemed a little shaken by Ivory’s gaze, she did not deter from her original goal. “I’m only doing what’s best for the company, for my husband’s legacy.” She stated.“Remington Crop would crumble the moment it enters your hands. I won’t stand by and watch-“Ivory had laughed, interrupting her before she could even finish her statement.“Did you think, you could do something about it in the first place?” She questioned. “You may be his step wife, but I’m his blood, his biological daughte
