Michael raised an eyebrow as he maintained a calm expression.Samuel was completely dumbfounded. “Say that again?! How old is he?!”“She’s in her twenties,” Michael replied nonchalantly.Samuel could not believe it. Seeing Michael’s calm and indifferent demeanor, he staggered forward and sat beside him. He stared directly at him and asked, “Are you kidding me?! How can he be in his twenties?! Is the Violet Cress you met an imposter?”Despite Michael stating that Violet Cress was a woman in her twenties, Samuel still instinctively believed the person could be a man. He had subconsciously dismissed Michael’s clarification.Michael remained indifferent even after Samuel’s outburst.Samuel suddenly felt disheartened. “So... she’s really in her twenties, huh? Are you certain about this?”“Yes,” Michael responded impassively.Samuel shook his head in disbelief. “Well... that changes things. We need to contact the hospital quickly for Rosie to start treatment as soon as possible. The
Michael glanced at Samuel indifferently and said nothing else. Michael’s silence showed that the candidate Samuel already had in mind was indeed the person who could save his wife. Samuel’s eyes grew even wider. “Tell me, who exactly is she?! Who is this woman?” There was none other than Ivanka whom he hated the most. How was this possible? No way! Samuel believed he must be overthinking things. He refused to accept the fact. Michael kept quiet. There was a hint of mockery in his eyes. It was enough to tell that Samuel had no choice but to accept the fact. How could this be possible? It was impossible! Samuel could not accept it and shook his head. “Impossible. This is impossible!” He felt a whole slew of complicated emotions. He wanted to believe that he had made the wrong assumption. He did not expect the woman whom he had looked down upon could do so many things. On top of that, she was the amazing Violet Cress. What a joke! Samuel was about to convince him
While everyone was happily chatting, Michael and Samuel suddenly showed up before them. Ivanka looked a bit stunned, but she did not show much expression. She knew Samuel hated her a lot. She needed to be cautious with her words, or she could keep quiet. Nonetheless, Ivanka had no idea that Samuel was experiencing extremely complicated emotions at that moment.After he came out of the room, he first glanced at Rosie, and his heart clenched tightly. Never in his wildest dream did he expect his wife to be diagnosed with lung cancer. After all, they were already old, so he did not expect she would still be diagnosed with cancer. After feeling a whole slew of complicated emotions, Samuel was shocked to learn that Ivanka was able to treat Rosie. He wondered if Ivanka was truly the amazing Violet Cress. How could this be possible? The complicated emotions Samuel experienced could not be put into words even at that moment. He subconsciously turned to Ivanka. He parted his lips,
“What nonsense!” Rosie was so infuriated that she snapped. Samuel was stunned. For a moment, he did not know what else to say. He had not expected his wife to yell at him. Nonetheless, he was not angry at all. If this were the past, his expression would have darkened and he would have left without hesitation. Today, he just stood still as Rosie yelled at him. He even had the intention to explain to her. Rosie was furious and did not notice all this. Instead, she glared at Samuel. “When you leave, get back into the study room or bedroom! I don’t want to see you!” Samuel fell speechless. He just wanted to stay by her side. However, seeing that Rosie did not want him to stay around with her, he had no choice but to give a nod. “Okay. Whatever you say.” Rosie finally realized something was off about him. She stared at him in puzzlement. “Why are you suddenly listening to me?” Samuel did not usually behave that way. She thought something was off about him. Samuel frowned.
They giggled and exchanged some pleasantries before returning to their rooms. There were many guest rooms in the house. After Ivanka returned to the guest room, she did not rest. Instead, she sat on the sofa and scrolled through her phone. She knew she needed to update Michael and his group about Rosie’s condition. While thinking about this, her phone vibrated. Ivan already added them to a WhatsApp group. Ivan: @Ivanka, how is it? What have you found out about her condition? Ivanka: For the time being, everything seems normal. But I still need to observe her condition. Xander: You can do it! Ivan: What’s wrong with you? Xander: What is it? Ivan: You sound like a simp. You were never like this before. Is Violet Cress your idol? Meanwhile, Michael stared at the phone but did not reply to anything.Ivan also realized Xander had changed drastically these days. When Xander looked at Ivanka, he regarded her in a different light, so much so that Michael found it displea
Michael felt a sense of security from Ivanka?! His expression grew even darker. Ivanka sat opposite him and rested her gaze on him. When she noticed his expression kept changing, she felt puzzled. She paused for a moment. Then, in the next second, she seemed to understand what was going on. She looked at him and asked, “Are you worried?” Michael snapped out of his thoughts and said calmly, “With you around, I’ve nothing to worry about.” Ivanka looked away and said coolly, “Go back to your room. I’ll do everything I can.”She allowed Michael to enter her room because she knew he was concerned about Rosie. However, the moment Ivanka recalled the incident that had happened during the day, she was no longer in the mood to talk to him. Michael had a complicated expression on his face. Yet he acted as if he did not notice her displeasure. He sprang up and headed outside. That was mainly because he did not want to stay around. He did not like the feeling he felt when staying arou
“You’ve been too impatient.” Upon hearing the young girl’s calm voice, Chiara was furious. Chiara thought. “She can say that so calmly because it didn’t happen to her!” Given the incident that had happened, anyone in Chiara’s shoes would equally be this anxious because Ivanka already oppressed her to the extent that she would be crushed anytime soon. Yet the mysterious person with a young girl’s voice made cynical remarks to Chiara. Chiara thought. “She, too, will be this impatient when it’s her turn.” Chiara was so angry that she took a deep breath to keep her composure. The mysterious person behind the scenes was her last resort. She could not let them slip from her grasp. Chiara paused momentarily before inhaling deeply and asked, “What should I do now, then?” She knew the mysterious person with a young girl’s voice must have made up their mind before contacting her. They would tell her what to do next. The mysterious person said lightly, “You’ll be facing a series o
Chiara thought she should have dodged it instead of catching the document. Before she gave it another thought, Ellen said in an icy cold voice, “You spent your working hour answering the call. I wouldn’t consider this very professional.” Chiara’s expression grew darker. She had never experienced such humiliation in the past. Back then, even when she made things difficult for Ellen, Ellen did not dare to talk back to her. Ellen’s eyes were filled with mockery as she stared at Chiara. She could finally vent her anger on Chiara, and that showed up on her pretty face. Ellen dressed in a formal suit. Her slender and curvy shape was a subject of envy for many women. Chiara used to be jealous of Ellen’s perfect curve. The next moment, Ellen looked at Chiara with a smile and said, “Please reflect on yourself in this matter and finish the document by tonight. If you can’t handle it well, you can quit your job.” Chiara stared at Ellen coldly. “Ellen, even though you’re my superior an
