Ivanka raised an eyebrow. “Really?” Lyla fell speechless. She grew increasingly worried with Ivanka’s increasingly nonchalant manner. She sensed that something was wrong somewhere. Yet she did not know what it was. Ivanka’s current look inevitably made her have negative thoughts. She could not stop herself from having all kinds of negative thoughts. The feeling grew worse to the extent that she did not know how to keep her composure. Lyla looked at Ivanka anxiously. Ivanka chuckled and said in a light tone, “Aunt Lyla, I always believe that you’re a smart lady. You can scheme people without making them realize all the while. Why did you become this when it comes to things like that?” At that, Ivanka paused for a moment. There was a hint of disdain and disbelief in her tone. Lyla’s expression turned dark and frowned deeply. At that moment, she decided to stop talking in riddles with Ivanka. Ivanka’s words had shaken her faith. She stared at Ivanka. “Iv, what exactly are yo
Lyla looked startled. Impossible! This was impossible! The next second, she shook her head and said unhappily, “Iv, stop that. If not, I’ll get really angry.” “I purposely came all the way here to tell you the news. Do you think there’s a need for me to play tricks?” Ivanka looked at Lyla with a smile, but it did not reach her eyes. The more Ivanka said, the more anxious Lyla grew. Lyla frowned as she stared at her. “All things need to be supported with evidence. I won’t believe in empty words.” Despite being unhappy, Lyla was both scared and wanted to know the truth. She hoped that Ivanka was giving empty words without evidence. If this were the past, Lyla would think that Ivanka was giving her empty words. However, Ivanka had changed. She had changed so much that she was no longer an innocent lady like before. Ivanka must have had solid evidence to say that to Lyla. Still, Lyla refused to believe her. Lyla believed Ivanka made up the story because she was a top-tier hacke
The corners of Ivanka’s lips curled upward. “Did you recall something?” Ivanka did not simply choose the photos. She only chose the significant ones. That day was Theodore’s birthday. Lyla took a leave to prepare a delicious meal for him. Lyla remembered waking up early in the morning to prepare for his birthday meal. After they ate their breakfast, Lyla said, “Hubby, today is your birthday. Come back early. I’ll prepare a sumptuous dinner for you.” Theodore looked a little stunned. The next moment, he smiled. “Never mind. I still have other things to handle. It’s just a birthday. It’s no longer important to me. I already had a scrumptious breakfast this morning. You don’t need to work so hard to prepare dinner for me tonight. I may need to work late and not come back tonight. You can have dinner with Chiara.” Lyla frowned. “Are you sure you’re not coming back tonight? It’s your birthday, after all.” Theodore sighed. “Sigh. There’s too much work at the company. I’ve no ch
Lyla turned to Ivanka in puzzlement. Despite this, she really wanted to know what Ivanka was about to say. “I’ll show you the photos with significant dates. Look, Uncle Theodore spent most of his time outside during festive seasons. He often told you that he had something else to handle in the company, so he couldn’t accompany you and Chiara. You never suspected him in the past. As you recall them now, don’t you realize something was off about him?” Lyla was silent. She bit her bottom lip tightly. “Besides, his mistress bought him the checkered shirt as a birthday gift. I remember he used to hate this type of shirt the most. But he eagerly put it on. Don’t you think the mistress means so much more to him than you?” As she said the final sentence, Ivanka gave Lyla a mocking smile. Lyla’s face gradually turned white. His body became tense, and she clenched her fists. She felt horrible. It was clear to see that Lyla more or less believed what Ivanka had said to her with the ph
“No!” Lyla screamed heart-wrenchingly. Her eyes were filled with incredulity. How could this be possible?! Why did Chiara have to come to this state?! No! This was not true! “Could this be part of Chiara’s plan?” Lyla remembered that Ivanka had pushed Chiara to a state where she had no choice but to resort to the last step. Lyla thought. “Could this be one of the schemes between Chiara and the mysterious person?” She remembered the mysterious person had promised to give Chiara a new identity. Lyla gradually calmed down. She seemed to know what was going on. Ivanka narrowed her eyes and noticed that her expression kept changing. Even though Lyla kept her expression well hidden, Ivanka observed the slight changes. Unbeknownst to Lyla, Ivanka could tell that Chiara had not died. It was obvious to see that this was just another setup. Ivanka did not come to visit Lyla to prove anything. Even without seeing Lyla’s expression, Ivanka knew that Chiara could not have died
With just a sentence like this, she already did not know what else to say. It was as if she was waiting for Ivanka to continue. Lyla did not even dare to keep her emotions under too much control. She was in a state of absolute panic. Her brain was messed up from panic, and she could not think through anything. The main point was that Ivanka was here. She did not dare to expose her emotions. This would only let Ivanka see through her all the more. Ivanka was too smart and too scary! “You don’t have to pretend. I’m aware of a lot of things. This includes Chiara faking her death and keeping it from you because she’s worried that she might be seen in this place.” Lyla was shocked! This despicable person! Lyla did not dare to show too much of her thoughts. Instead, she shook her head, puzzled. “What’s going on? Iv, what do you mean by Chiara faking her death? Is she still alive?” When she spoke of the latter, Lyla still looked a bit hopeful. However, she did not dare to have to
“He had never kept his misdeeds under wraps properly. Haven’t you realized that he’s the one who always ends up exposing the things you did?” Lyla’s expression changed. She could only play dumb and act in disbelief as she shook her head. “Iv, what the hell are you talking about? I really don’t understand what you’re talking about…” Ivanka sneered. “As long as Theodore is around, you all will keep losing. He has a family outside, yet you are suffering on his behalf here. Your daughter is barely even a person now. By the way, I already know of her new identity. In fact, I learned of it through your husband. Don’t you think I’m amazing?” “If this continues, Theodore will only become a burden to you. If you want to succeed, you can only let Theodore get the legal judgment he deserves, not you… You’re here spending your days in torment without knowing how miserable it really is outside.” Lyla’s face was a little pale. She did not know what to say. The irritation inside her was gro
“Things are going as per usual, but now there’s a new piece of the drama—Chiara’s death.” Ivanka picked up her cutlery and put a small piece of food into her mouth. “Oh?” Sandy scoffed. “She did that? What’s Lyla’s reaction to that? Did she cry and throw a tantrum?” “She’s really smart and figured out that this was a whole act really quickly. Her acting is really convincing too.” Sandy sneered. “B*stards! Let’s quickly figure out something and let her stay behind bars forever! Not having to die after murdering someone is pretty good too, don’t you think? We’ll just let her be imprisoned for life! This kind of torture is worse than death! Living a life that is worse than death is the best revenge!”Ivanka smiled. “I’ll do my best.”Sandy laughed out loud. “Have you eaten yet, Bestie?”“I’m eating.”“Yeah, I’m eating too. Let’s talk while eating.” After Sandy finished talking, she put on her headphones. This made it easier for her to eat.After swallowing, she started to talk
