Soon enough, the two finished their breakfast. Neither of them ate much. They were just making sure their stomachs were not empty. Ivanka had already set down her cutlery. Her expression was flat, nor did she look at Michael. Meanwhile, Michael’s gaze landed on Ivanka. As he stared at her, he asked with a calm expression, “Just what sort of prejudice do you have against me right now?” “Prejudice?” Ivanka looked at him calmly. “Do you think that all of the things you did to me can just be written off as me having prejudiced views about you?”Michael pursed his lips. It was as if he did not know what to say, yet he seemed to acknowledge Ivanka’s statement. Ivanka scoffed coldly. She did not bother to waste her breath on him and got up. “We have nothing to say to each other. So, let’s not dwell on the subject. So long as we are not together, anything is up for discussion.” After saying this, Ivanka got up to leave. Michael sat in place and did not move. He did not pester Iv
Jonah sighed deeply.Not making a move only made things harder for her.However, he had recently uncovered some information about Michael’s grandmother. It was why he had not been pressuring her.Once those matters were resolved, he planned to pursue her again. Since Ivanka had already separated from Michael, he would not give Michael another chance to win her back.That morning, everyone was busy with work. When noon came, Jonah did not go to pick up Ivanka.He knew that Ivanka would not want that.At the agreed location, Ivanka and her assistant had already arrived. They sat in a private room. When Jonah arrived, Ivanka nodded to him. “You’re here.”Jonah nodded back. Ivanka’s assistant stood up and greeted him respectfully. “Hello, Mr. Sadler.”Jonah nodded in acknowledgment.Jonah’s assistant, James, also nodded to Ivanka and her assistant.“Why did you get here so early?” Jonah looked at her and gently asked as he sat across from her.Ivanka answered truthfully, “There
Soon, they finished reviewing the plan. Both of them had a look of surprise in their eyes.“This proposal is very bold.” Ivanka remarked after reading it.Peachy remained silent as she was trying to process the shock. This was definitely a high-risk, high-reward move.“If such a publicity stunt doesn’t resonate with the fans, it could backfire. But if it does catch on, it could lead to unprecedented success, especially compared to Papaver’s previous launches.”Jonah smiled. “That’s the thrill of it, isn’t it? At our level, if we just keep playing it safe, the room for growth is practically zero.”Ivanka knew he had a point and did not refute him.Still, the plan was a little…The private room fell silent again.Jonah did not rush her. It was as if he was giving Ivanka time to think.Peachy, who sat beside her, dared not say a word. The stakes were just too high for her to comment. Only the chairwoman could make this decision.Even as the dishes were served, Ivanka remained si
Ivanka frowned. If Jonah had been digging around, even if Michael’s doctors kept things tightly under wraps, Jonah might have found some clues.How much did he know?Ivanka studied Jonah for a moment, but he remained as he had been. Finally, she looked away. She pursed her lips before saying softly, “I’ll be going now.”“Okay.”This time, Jonah did not offer to accompany her. He cooperated by letting her leave without any further insistence.Soon, everyone got into their respective cars.Ivanka sat in the passenger seat. She was still pondering the meaning behind Jonah’s gaze.However, before she could think further into it, her phone suddenly vibrated. She opened WhatsApp and saw a message from Jonah.Jonah: I know you have a lot on your plate right now. The health of the elderly is important, and I know you care about her, so I won’t interfere during this time. But Iv, not interfering doesn’t mean forgetting. Once things are better, I’ll find you again.Ivanka’s eyelashes tr
He was filled with hatred!If not for this wretched girl, how could he possibly be living such a miserable life now?If not for Ivanka, his family could have been living happily instead of living in the current state of utter despair.He was now genuinely grateful that he had bought a house under his mistress’s name back then. Otherwise, he would have been left with nothing!Taking a deep breath, Theodore suppressed the anger burning inside him. He forced a strained smile and reverted to his earlier humble demeanor. “Iv, you’ve seen how I’ve been doing. I’m living a lesser life than a dog. You’ve seen it yourself. Although we had some misunderstandings in the past, you know your aunt was only doing what she thought was best for your father. She was trying to fulfill his wishes. Iv, I know you’re still angry, but those who deserved punishment have already been punished. Can’t you give me a way out?”Ivanka suddenly smiled. “A way out?”Theodore quickly nodded. His face contorted i
She did not say anything and just raised an eyebrow. She seemingly waited for Theodore to continue.Theodore discreetly observed her. Even though he had anticipated her lack of response, he still felt a mix of annoyance and struggle.Why could he never gain the upper hand against Ivanka?If he had known this girl would be so difficult to deal with, he would have made sure to get rid of her along with Fernando, no matter how troublesome it would have been. That would have eliminated all future problems!Look what happened now?He deeply regretted not doing so!However, he had no choice but to face reality. When Ivanka remained indifferent, she was clearly not interested in asking questions unless he spoke up first. Theodore finally sighed and said, “I know your trust in me might be completely gone, but no matter what, we share blood, Iv. I’m your uncle! You have to believe me, I never intended to harm you or your father.”Ivanka snorted and glanced to the side before responding i
Before Theodore could finish saying “threat,” Ivanka interrupted him impatiently. “Uncle, the truth of your words is not my concern. I know exactly what’s going on in the company. Your attempts to sow discord won’t work.”“Sow discord?” Theodore instantly felt deeply wronged. “I’m telling the truth!”It was true. Theodore’s claims were not entirely baseless.The company’s lack of progress was largely due to his incompetence, but there was a small part that was indeed connected to the actions of these two spies.However, Ivanka’s disinterest and her accusation of sowing discord left Theodore seething with frustration. Yet he could not express his anger.When had he ever been treated like this?Since Fernando’s death, he had been the head of the family and the leading figure in the company. Even with people like Thomas and Jillian around, they could not truly challenge his authority, especially with the number of sycophants he had around him. No one dared to oppose him.However, t
Ivanka: Yeah, if she refuses to come clean, threaten her a bit before you leave. Tell her that if she still refuses to comply, I’ll show no mercy.Peachy: Alright.Ivanka did not reply and returned to the work at hand. After two hours, Peachy sent her a text message again.Peachy: Ms. Lane, when I headed over, that lady simply played dumb. She even asked about her daughter but said nothing else.Peachy: Before I left, I told her what you said, but she behaved just the same.Ivanka: Got it. Get someone to spread this around.With that, she sent Peachy a document. It contained some text and photos.When Peachy saw this, she was astonished!It was because she never knew about these things before. After replying to Ivanka, she got to work.Everything went on as usual. But because of the document Peachy had given to the media, Twitter blew up again.The hashtags on Twitter trending summarized it well.#TheodoreCheated #TheodoreKeptWoman #TheodoreIllegitimateDaughterThe claim
