“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
“What on earth are you even saying? My mother didn’t even kill my uncle!” At that moment, it was as if Chiara found a chance to clarify the situation. She did not give the reporters the chance to ask any questions. “Back then, my uncle was suffering from a terminal disease, and there was no cure. In the end, he was in pain every day. He was the one who begged my mother to add some pain-relieving ingredients to his food. My mother checked with a doctor to find out more about it. The ingredients would speed up a person’s death! How could my mother be willing to do that? And how could she do such a thing?!” “But the court has already sentenced your mother, which proves that your mother did it. So why are you still here telling lies?” the reporter asked a tricky question. Chiara looked pained as she took a small breath and shook her head. “No! That’s not it! My mother disagreed, but my uncle kept begging her for help because he was in too much pain every day. That kind of pain is not
Ivanka responded, “Yes, I know. You don’t need to worry about me.” “How can I not worry? They’re pure evil!” Sandy said angrily, “The main thing is that they have done a lot of things that are not good for you. They even want to kill you. I’m really worried that they’re going to do something insane again. After all, you’ve already sent Lyla behind bars. What if they…” At that point, Sandy did not want to continue. She was scared that if she said it, things would come true. Even more so, she did not want to curse her best friend. “Alright. I know. You can relax. I won’t let them have their way anymore,” Ivanka said casually. It was as if she had everything under control. The more Ivanka acted like this, the more worried Sandy was. She had a lingering feeling that something was wrong. “Shucks… This family is just too much! So did you guess what they are up to this time?” Ivanka looked calm. “Not yet. But no matter what they do this time, I’ll have my ways. You don’t need to w
“Ugh…” Sandy let out a sound of disgust and spoke again, “Forget it! Just let me off of this. The last thing I want is to return to the McNeil family! I don’t want to have anything to do with them. I can live a good life on my own. I can also make money and develop my own business. It’s truly comforting when I don’t see them.” To Sandy, the McNeil family was no longer her haven. Her life was even worse than an outsider’s when she was back. Why would she stay there and not leave? Did she want to be a joke? “We’ll talk about this matter later on.” In the end, Ivanka said this, and Sandy made a sound in response. Then, she said, “I’ll blow-dry my hair first. We’ll talk later.” “Okay. Be careful then, bestie. Don’t let anything happen to you!” Sandy said worriedly. “Okay.” “Alright. Let’s hang up then, bestie.” “Goodnight.” Just like that, the both of them hung up. Ivanka returned to her room to rest after she blew dry her hair. … Three days passed quickly. Over the
