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
As long as Tanya was not in a meeting, her assistant ought to immediately report to her if anything happened.The assistant did as she was told.When the topic about Theodore started trending, she believed that it had something to do with Ivanka. Hence, she quickly came over to Tanya’s office.After reading the post and some comments, Tanya put down her phone with a chilling smile on her lips. “Ivanka has really played her hand. That’s very smart of her.”The assistant was confused. She did not understand why Tanya would say that, so she asked doubtfully, “What’s her intention? Theodore has already lost everything—his reputation and power. He poses no threat to her.”In the beginning, she assumed that it was nothing serious. Ivanka hated Theodore, so she hired someone to expose him and make him miserable.But when she heard Tanya’s comment, she sensed that something was not quite right.Tanya gave a faint smile and looked at her assistant. “Ivanka is a smart woman. Everything sh
The assistant was startled and blurted out, “She’ll certainly fall apart. Then her actions will become even more extreme and leave an opening for Ivanka to strike.”“She’ll be more extreme, yes, but only slightly.” Tanya shook her head. “Technically speaking, her attitude isn’t that important.”“Then…” The assistant was even more confused. She did not know what Tanya was talking about.Tanya looked up at her. “When it comes to things like this, you ought to think. How will she cope when she finds out about her father’s affair, considering how close they are all these years? Do you think she will try to meet up with him, or help clear his name?”The assistant’s expression changed slightly. Then a realization dawned on her, and she said, “I get it now. Ivanka did all this so that Chiara would give herself away!”“The mysterious person has been using Chiara because of her feud with Ivanka as well as her value. What Ivanka intends to do is to trace their trail through Chiara and force
Katiana’s expression darkened further.“Did you just ignore what I told you? Didn’t you hear what I just said? Are you seriously asking me to intervene for you?”Katiana sat facing Chiara. She dressed in fancy clothes, which clearly indicated that she was nouveau riche.Her golden earrings swayed slightly, and she wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. She was already in her fifties. Even though she had been taking good care of her body, she no longer looked young.She had wrinkles on her face.Since she was afraid of pain, she did not get a facelift.Chiara inhaled slightly and quickly shook her head. “No… I’m not asking you to intervene entirely, or expect you to exact revenge for me. I just hope you’ll take down the hashtags. That’s all I ask…”She knew that she had no right to take action or ask for Katiana’s help. But if she could remove the hashtags, then people would not engage with this topic that much.It was basically a piece of cake to Katiana.However, she had underes
Katiana left as soon as she finished. She opened the door and walked out without looking back.Chiara was left alone in the room. She wanted so badly to take out her phone and call her father.But she did not dare do that. Katiana was right. If she gave herself away at this time, she would never get her life back. Still, she could not help wondering if her father had really cheated on her mother.Did he really have another woman and even have a daughter with her?Since Chiara and Lyla were no longer around, Theodore would finally reunite with his kept woman and illegitimate child. They would live as a family of three!Chiara was broken by this. She immediately picked up her phone to read the posts on Twitter. When she saw a picture of the three of them, she felt a tremble in her heart, because she realized that Theodore’s illegitimate daughter looked like her younger self!Before this, she did not believe the rumor at all. She thought that someone was slandering Theodore. But aft
