Nonetheless, Ivan reached Sandy in just a few steps and grabbed her hand. Sandy tried to pull her hand out of his grip, but he was far stronger than her. She could not free herself even after using up most of her strength. “Do you have a few screws loose in your head?!” Sandy used up her last bit of energy when she yelled the words. But it was useless to say that. Ivan was just crazy!“I already have them to start preparing dinner. You’ll stay overnight here.” Ivan did not care if Sandy agreed to this as he dragged her into his mansion. “Let go of me! I’m not eating the food!” “You must, even if you don’t want to.” “Are you mad?” “Yes. I’m madly in love with you.” Sandy fell speechless. When had he started behaving like a rascal? “Let me go! We’re not even suited for each other. Stop wasting your effort on me!” “Try first and see if we’re really not suited for each other,” said Ivan expressionlessly. Sandy sucked in a deep breath. “B*stard! I don’t care about
When Ivan saw that Sandy finally listened to him this time, his mood improved. Prior to this, he had behaved so oddly because he wanted to keep his dignity regardless of the circumstances. However, in the end, he realized that he lost his happiness. After “confining” Sandy in his mansion, he felt an unprecedented level of happiness. After eating dinner, Sandy turned to Ivan. “Boss, it’s time for you to let me home. I can’t possibly stay overnight here, b*stard!” Ivan raised one of his eyebrows. “You’re right. We’re not married yet. I can’t possibly do something outrageous to you. I’ll send you home.” Sandy instantly heaved a sigh of relief. He was a man of his words. ... It was getting late. Ivanka had no idea what was going on on Sandy’s side. Ivanka stared at the design drawing on the computer screen. She focused on the screen and occasionally clicked using the mouse with her right hand and typed with her left hand. Suddenly, her phone rang. She collected her though
“That was my previous thought. I’ve stopped being obsessed with him. If not, I’ll only get myself screwed.” After finishing the sentence, Tanya smiled ruefully. She sounded serious. Ivanka said nothing. She did not plan to express herself yet. Tanya continued, “So, stop thinking too much into things. I won’t be tempted by Chiara and attack you.” Ivanka made a sound of acknowledgment. “Okay.” Her relationship with Michael had been the same. She did not plan to get back together with Michael. Nonetheless, she did not reveal this to Tanya. At the very least, she would not reveal it before Rosie completely recovered from her illness. Nothing mattered more than Rosie’s health. If Tanya was still obsessed with Michael in the future, perhaps Ivanka would tell her about it. Tanya was not surprised with Ivanka’s response. She said again, “Two, I want to collaborate with you. I’ll send you a proposal in a while. If you’re interested in it, you can inspect the site.” “Inspect the si
The corners of Ivanka’s lips curved upward. “Good.” Tanya sized Ivanka up before saying, “Come with me.” Whenever Tanya saw Ivanka, Ivanka always gave her a different feeling. Ivanka seemed to exude a mysterious aura and made one inevitably attracted to her. Although Ivanka stood right beside Tanya, Tanya could not read her mind. Tanya did not like this feeling. Tanya sucked in a deep breath and turned around. Ivanka said nothing and followed her. ... Meanwhile, Michael was handling his work inside the office. After Ivan sent Sandy back home, he felt frustrated, so he decided to accompany Michael to work overtime. Michael said nothing, but Ivan could not help himself from keeping quiet. He sat opposite Michael and stared at his calm countenance. “Do you think this really works? Would she grow increasingly disgusted with me?” Suddenly, Evan’s phone call made Michael tense up. “Mr. Barkworth, Ms. Tanya invited Ms. Ivanka to a remote place.” “Send me the locati
When Michael stopped beside them, Tanya snapped out of her daze. She paused for a moment before smiling at Michael. “Mr. Barkworth, I didn’t expect to see you here. What a coincidence!” Upon hearing this, everyone could sense her reluctance. Ivanka rested her gaze on Michael. He did not look awkward. Instead, he replied calmly, “Yes. I have a project to set up here.” Tanya looked puzzled. She thought. “He might as well say he has a house over here.” There was only one village in that area. Even if a project were to develop there, it could only be Ivanka and Tanya’s collaborated project. There could not possibly be other projects. But Michael shamelessly said he came here to oversee the project. Did he not think he was making himself a clown? Ivanka fell speechless. She was unsure of Michael’s intention for coming over. Although she felt doubtful and somewhat confirmed what she doubted was true, on second thought, she was not convinced. She thought she was just imagini
This would only make Michael find Tanya even more disgusting and raise suspicion about her. On second thought, did Michael suspect her? If not, why would he arrive at such a time? Tanya inhaled deeply again and quickly left. She swore that Michael would belong to her one day. By then, he would only love her, and he would only have his eyes on her. ... As Tanya gradually walked further away, Ivanka turned to Michael. They stood in place motionlessly. She asked, “When are you leaving?” Michael’s expression instantly turned darker than before. Seeing that Ivanka had not noticed anything yet, he grabbed her wrist. He ignored her reaction as he forcefully dragged her into the car. Ivanka instantly frowned. “What are you doing?!” She could not free herself, so she could only let Michael drag her into the car. Nonetheless, her expression looked absolutely dark. After the car door was closed, Michael turned to her in a darkened expression. “Do you know what sort of person
Tanya never won Michael’s heart. Despite that, his admirers viewed her as their love rival. Was this not the greatest irony on earth? On the other hand, if she were to be Michael’s lover, she would think that it was worthy even if she became everyone’s target. But the fact was, she was not even his lover at that moment! Meanwhile, Ivanka felt restrained. She felt frustrated and restricted. The car was already driven quite some distance away from the village. Michael seemed to be in a better mood. He turned his head around and cast Ivanka a cold glance. When he saw that she sat on the passenger seat quietly, his eyes were filled with endless mockery. His expression turned darker than before. “You’re not allowed to collaborate with her on any projects.” Ivanka said calmly, “After the collaboration ends, Lane’s Group will be pushed to a higher level, and Cullen’s Group will gain tremendous benefits too. She won’t harm me during this period of time.” Before she came to the villag
Michael seemed to have seen through her thoughts and said indifferently, “Leave this matter to me.” Ivanka looked at him with some surprise. She stayed silent as if she was waiting for him to continue speaking. Michael had already recovered his composure and said calmly, “Chiara now has a deep, complicated relationship with the people behind her. They’re now moving forward with their progress. You’ll just need to do your work as usual and leave the rest to me.” Ivanka narrowed her eyes. “Are there so many benefits just for treating you and Grandma?” Michael’s expression had just returned to normal, but it turned dark again. Ivanka then smiled nonchalantly. “I don’t need you. I can handle these myself.” “Ivanka Lane.” Michael controlled his anger and said her full name. But Ivanka just raised her eyes languidly. “Although there is a lot involved in this now, I hope you’ll give me some space. We’re all adults here, and we all have our own opinions about this matter. Michael
