Everyone was not sure what was going on, so they had no idea what Chiara was up to this time. But this time, everyone did not choose to leave. After all, something was going to happen for sure! Those who were protecting Ivanka wanted to see what Chiara was up to so that they could help solve their idol’s problems in time. Those who were just here to watch the drama unfold were even less likely to leave. In any case, Chiara’s livestream was getting more and more lively. When she stayed silent for about a minute, tens of thousands of people had joined the livestream. More than two hundred thousand people had joined the chat!This was a rare viewer count. In fact, not many people had ever seen such a lively stream, but Chiara had done it.Just as the crowd was typing question marks in the chat one after another, Chiara began her speech once again.“I know that many of you probably hate me so much that you can’t wait for me to disappear from this world immediately so that I coul
How could these people be so horrible?Since when have all these people become Ivanka’s lapdogs?! Since when was Ivanka so good at winning people over?How could they be so horrible?With that thought, Chiara felt an intense desire to tear Ivanka and these people limb from limb so that they could all suffer a painful death!Anyone who went against her had to die! They all had to die!As these thoughts consumed her, Chiara became increasingly unhinged.Even so, she had no idea how to deal with the situation.She had become nothing more than a tool for others. She simply followed their lead. At the moment, she did not even know what would become of her after this.Chiara closed her eyes. To the viewers on the screen, it appeared she was trying to maintain her composure and hold back her pain.In truth, she was clamping down on her anger.The next moment, Chiara raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face. She smiled again at her viewers. “Actually, today, I’d like to say
Maythefifth: You never deserved him, to begin with. Who do you think you are? Your whole family was looked down upon by everyone. If not for Ivanka’s father, you’d be nothing today. Now you’re talking about being worthy? Where did you get the audacity?Ivan sneered. It was true.Chiara seemed oblivious to the comments. She continued. “So, I’ve come to terms with it. I was never worthy. I had no right to anything. I only have myself to blame for my current situation. I don’t blame Iv for anything she did to me, nor do I blame Michael for not believing me. Perhaps it’s all fate.”Chiara smiled sadly.The viewers, however, quickly picked up on something.Sarahxoxo: Hang on, what do you mean you don’t blame Iv for what she did to you? Our goddess Ivanka was always the one being bullied by you. What are you insinuating?Thomas94: Hold on, that sounds like there’s some history here. Are the cousins not on good terms? Have they been secretly targeting each other all this time?...The
“I’m so mad! I’m so freaking mad! This is unbelievable!”Sandy threw her phone aside. Her eyes blazed with fury. She looked like she wanted to find Chiara and rip her apart.Anna, who was sitting next to her, had anger in her eyes as well. “Chiara is really something.”“Listen to her,” Sandy said through her gritted teeth. “She’s insinuating that Iv was horrible to her and has driven her to suicide. She’s trying to make Iv look like the villain here who pushed her to the edge!”Anna’s brows furrowed tightly. “What is she trying to do this time? Is she really going to commit suicide?”“She’d never actually kill herself! She loves herself too much. She’d rather see someone else dead than herself!” Sandy could not help but snap.Anna nodded, but there was a hint of uncertainty in her eyes as she looked at Sandy. “I know that. What I mean is, is she planning to stage a suicide attempt in front of everyone? Or is she just saying this for someone to ‘rescue’ her at the last moment and
“What?” Sandy was baffled. She stared at Anna with puzzlement. “What does that mean?”“Her actual goal is to take on a new identity. This so-called suicide is just a way to make everyone believe Chiara is gone for good. It will also cause Iv trouble by making people think Iv had driven her to this.”“What identity is she planning to take on?” Sandy was even more confused now. Her focus shifted from Chiara’s insinuations to wanting to know Chiara’s true intentions.Anna’s eyes flickered with thought as she looked at the phone in Sandy’s hand. The call timer was increasing. She asked again, “Iv, what’s your plan?”“We need to see what she does next,” Ivanka replied calmly.Anna pressed on. “Are you talking about her new identity?”“Yes.”“Look! She’s going to jump!” Sandy’s words had everyone quickly turning their attention back to Chiara’s livestream.“Goodbye, everyone. If I wait any longer, the police might come to save me. This is my final farewell. Goodbye.”As Chiara said
Comments kept rolling in, but Ivanka had lost interest. It was already over.She said, “I’ll keep an eye on things from here. You don’t need to worry about me.”“Yes, you have to be careful. Don’t let that b*tch get her way!” Sandy emphasized. She was genuinely concerned about her.Ivanka smiled. “I will.”With that, they ended the call.Ivanka gathered her things and left the office. She had planned to meet Jonah today.As she stepped out of the building and prepared to get into her car, she noticed Jonah’s vehicle nearby. The passenger window rolled down and revealed his handsome face.Her eyes flickered with recognition, but she said nothing and walked over.Jonah’s lips curved into a smile as he gazed at her beautiful face. “Long time no see,” he said softly.Ivanka raised an eyebrow. “That’s very funny, Mr. Sadler.”It had not been that long since their last meeting, but Jonah always had a way of making the moment feel special. Others found it quite remarkable.Jonah ra
“Ms. Lane has truly changed. Look at her, she’s so outstanding. She’s not only young and beautiful but also incredibly talented. I never imagined there could be such a perfect woman!”“Exactly! I used to think a perfect woman was someone with a wealthy family, who has a pretty face and a great figure like a princess, and a couple of skills probably bought with money. But Ms. Lane…”She trailed off, as she did not need to finish her sentence. The others were already nodding in agreement, because it was the truth.“Oh, I really envy Ms. Lane. She’s so young and successful to be running such an impressive company. She’s got so many talents hidden under different identities. Also, don’t you think this latest jewelry design might be connected to Ms. Lane somehow?”“Huh? Why do you say that?”“In the past, so many people tried to hire Papaver. Even Barkworth’s Group and Sadler’s Group were eager to collaborate with her, but they never succeeded no matter what they tried. But this time,
“Let’s go in.”Ivanka nodded in agreement. Together, they entered the restaurant. Jonah had reserved the entire place for themselves. The waitstaff were dedicated solely to their service.Ivanka did not comment. Jonah did not want anyone to overhear their business discussions, or he simply had the means to afford such luxury.Soon, they were seated in a private room. Once Jonah ordered a selection of dishes he knew Ivanka liked, the waiter left and closed the door for them.Ivanka turned to Jonah calmly and asked, “Do you have a particular issue with our collaboration that you want to discuss?”They had chatted during the car ride but had not touched on business matters. Now that they were in a different setting, Ivanka brought it up directly.Jonah’s lips curved into a smile. “The collaboration is fine. I just wanted to see you.”Ivanka did not respond.Ivanka studied him in silence. She knew he did not really mean that.Jonah took out his phone and sent a document to Ivanka.
