Tears streamed down Theodore’s face as he nodded and said, “Okay.”Lyla sniffled wordlessly. She just walked off with the officers.“Mom...” She heard Chiara’s heart-wrenching cries, but she did not turn back. She feared it would make her even more reluctant to leave.Turning away, she closed her eyes and held back tears.It was all that b*tch, Ivanka’s fault!Ivanka did not rush to leave. She observed Chiara, Lyla, and Theodore.Sandy and the others walked over to her.Sandy could not hold back and deliberately said, “Iv, what should we do now?”Ivanka turned to look at her. “We’ll talk once we’re out of here.”Sandy nodded silently.Ivanka noticed Theodore’s worn and guilty expression. She looked at him with a cold, mocking gaze before turning and walking out of the courtroom without giving him or Chiara another glance.Naturally, Sandy and the others followed her.Theodore approached Chiara. He sighed and hugged her when he saw her red and swollen eyes. “Let’s go home,
Sandy sounded extremely furious. Nonetheless, she could not make Lyla pay for the consequences. After seething silently for a moment, she said, “Clearly, the three of them are involved in it. But Theodore and Chiara could get away with it. Even Lyla is getting herself out without being punished!” Anna hissed, “I also didn’t expect things to turn out like this. Iv, what do you plan to do?”They had talked incessantly without giving Ivanka a chance to speak. Right after Anna asked the question, they turned to Ivanka, who was driving the car. Ivanka curled her lip. “It’s okay. I’m quite satisfied with how things turned out. After all, I don’t want Lyla to die instantly. If she dies, it’s not as satisfying as it would be.” Sandy felt puzzled. Anna realized something and asked, “Are you saying you expected this? Do you still have other ways?” Ivanka made a sound of acknowledgment. “Yes.” Hanson was puzzled. “Do you have any other plans?” Ivanka smirked. “Yes. I recently gain
Even though Theodore and his family had failed, they were still very ambitious and intended to take back the company. Meanwhile, Chiara had been very panicky these days. Although she had quarreled with Lyla for the past few days to the extent that she found her mother an eyesore, she felt devastated and nervous after not seeing her mother for two days. ... A meeting was held in Lane’s Group. Ivanka sat in the main seat and stared at the shareholders inside the conference room. This was their first general meeting since Theodore was removed from the position as the company’s shareholder. At that moment, those who were on Theodore’s side quieted down. They were no longer as arrogant as they were. After all, their leader had been replaced. They were on the losing side. Not only had they lost their dignity, they also had their power greatly suppressed. Hence, their expressions were dark. Meanwhile, Thomas was jubilant. Ivanka did not bother about Theodore’s group despite th
“The company is in decline. My father and everyone here had put in much effort to set up the company. I believe everyone is sad to see the company fall into this state. “What we need to do now is to work together to push the company to a higher level. I’ve got many proposals in my mind. Once these proposals take shape, the profit earned will be as great as Barkworth’s Group. I’m willing to share my ideas with you and distribute the profit to you based on the percentage of your shares. I hope all of us can work hand in hand. I don’t want to bring disgrace to the company, nor do I want my father to see the company in this declining state.” Right after she spoke, everyone instantly became spirited. They stopped having a bad impression of her. They were excited after they were told that she had many proposals that were similar to Barkworth’s Group’s projects and could even receive a portion of the huge profits from the projects! Ivanka was the chairman of the company. She natural
Theodore sucked in a deep breath and kept his composure. The next moment, his phone rang. When he saw the phone number, he frowned. He subconsciously glanced around and found that he was alone. He hesitated for a moment before answering the call. “What are you doing?” The person on the other end of the line sounded flirty with a hint of dissatisfaction. Theodore frowned. “Why did you call me at this hour?” The woman snorted. The next moment, she said aggrievedly, “I miss you. You didn’t visit me recently. It’s been a long while. Don’t you miss me and your daughter?” “Darling, come over. It’s Dad.” “Is Dad coming to visit us? Where’s he?” Theodore’s heart instantly melted when he heard the child’s cute voice. The next second, he heard the child cry in excitement, “Dad!” “Darling, Dad’s speaking.” Theodore sounded gentle. He did not sound dissatisfied or terrified like before. “Dad, are you really that busy? When are you visiting us? I miss you so much!” “Junie, I’ve
“Dad, let’s play outside! The balloon can’t go higher inside the house.” “Isn’t the ceiling for a double-storey mansion high enough? If you want to throw the balloon higher, it will reach the sky. By then, you can’t catch it anymore,” said Theodore in resignation but with a doting smile. The mansion was the only property left for Theodore. However, the ownership belonged to his mistress. At that moment, he felt relieved that he had bought his mistress the mansion. If not, Ivanka would have taken away the mansion too. Melody Hawkins looked at Theodore. When she noticed his sad expression, she patted Junie’s cheek. “Alright. Dad already spent a long time playing with you. You need to get back to your room and take your shower. You can chat with him again later.” Junie was reluctant. She pouted unhappily and said, “Dad has only been here a while. I want to play with him a while longer.” Theodore’s heart naturally ached for Junie. He carried her into his arms. “Okay. I’ll play
Two days passed, and Ivanka had already finalized some plans for cooperation with Sadler’s Group. At that moment, Ivanka had invited Jonah to meet him at a restaurant. Ivanka called Jonah, and Jonah happily agreed.The two met in their usual room. At this moment, they were both sitting opposite each other. Jonah even had a soft smile. He looked at the woman in front of him earnestly. He saw that her eyelashes were curled. They were long and thick. The way she blinked ever so slightly was extraordinarily beautiful. He sighed. Ivanka looked puzzled and looked up at him. “What’s wrong? Do you feel like there are any flaws in this proposal?” “Of course not. It’s a proposal you made. I’ll always be reassured and impressed by it.” Ivanka raised an eyebrow. “Then why the sudden sigh?” Jonah’s smile tightened, and he shook his head seemingly helplessly. “I was thinking. You’re so good and perfect, when will you be mine?” Ivanka was speechless. Not wanting to talk, she du
But he did not hesitate at all. He only smiled and said, “There’s no need. I’ll be yours sooner or later. Putting aside whether or not I trust you, even if I don’t, what’s mine will eventually be yours too.” Ivanka was speechless. She took a copy of the contract and said calmly, “You’ll still need to pay attention to it next time. Otherwise, I think you’ll end up having me steal a huge chunk of your money in the future.” After she said that, Ivanka stood up. She did not intend to stay either. They had finished eating and finalized the contract, so there was nothing left for them to say. Even so, as she stepped out, Jonah suddenly raised his hand and grabbed her wrist. Ivanka wanted to pull her hand back, but Jonah gripped her tightly. She turned to look at him. Her gaze was unhappy. “Please let go.” “What if I can’t let you go?” Jonah suddenly stood up when he said this. Ivanka had been looking down on this man, but once he stood up, he suddenly towered over her
