Chapter 1272 Fight Fire With Fire

Author: Deer
The female guard’s voice was filled with sarcasm and danger. However, Lyla showed no fear. Having committed murder and confessed to her crimes, she had little left to be afraid of.

She was simply standing here and talking to these two guards. What more could happen?

“What’s going on outside? Is there anything besides the trending topic?” she asked as she stood right in front of them.

The other prisoners glanced over. They were clearly interested in the gossip. It was a welcome change to hear about the outside world, given they could not touch a phone every day.

The female guard scoffed. “What’s happening outside has nothing to do with you. It’s not like you can plan any schemes from here.”

“You better have evidence for what you’re saying. You’re supposed to be legitimate officials. The court has already ruled that I didn’t kill anyone intentionally. Yet you continue speaking about my husband in that tone. Aren’t you afraid I’ll sue you? I’ll get out of here eventually.”

    The female guard looked at her indifferently. “Do you really think Ivanka still needs anything from you in this situation?”Lyla’s body stiffened. She became flustered.“Just get back to work. The Lane family is truly finished.”Lyla’s heart raced faster. Her uneasy premonitions grew stronger.The female and male guards ignored her and continued their conversation.They kept discussing Theodore.Lyla’s anxiety increased with each new detail. Her suspicion that Theodore was having an affair grew from fifty percent to seventy percent.She became increasingly panicked.... It was evening when Ivanka returned home.As soon as she arrived, she heard the sound of a car engine in her yard.Confused, she looked outside and spotted a familiar Rolls-Royce. Her brow furrowed.What was he doing here again? Had he not been visiting too frequently lately?As she thought about this, Michael had already opened the car door, stepped out, and was striding toward the entrance.When Ivanka

    Ivanka frowned even further. “Let me go.” She stressed again. It was only then that Michael slowly let go of her hand. He then walked over to the couch and sat down on it. Ivanka gave him a strange stare. She increasingly thought that he was behaving like a child. Perhaps he behaved differently when he was sick. Without saying anything, Ivanka went to take the med kit. It did not take long before she went to Michael, then passed him a glass of warm water and pills. “Take the pills.” Michael frowned. He remained motionless and did not even glance at the pills. Ivanka felt speechless. “Why do you hate pills so much? You’re diagnosed with cancer. You can’t be inconsistent about this.” Michael pursed his lips and said nothing else. Ivanka frowned. “You’re so uncooperative. It mustn’t have been easy for Xander to still keep you this fit at this level.” Michael’s gaze turned gloomy. The next second, Ivanka looked like she figured out something. She looked at him and a

  • Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife   Chapter 1275 You Should Leave Now

    With those few words, Ivanka did not say anything else. Michael’s expression clearly grew darker. Still, he pursed his lips and said nothing else. Ivanka fell speechless. She felt extremely speechless with him. If not for Rosie and the fact that he was diagnosed with cancer, she and Michael would not have that much contact. “You don’t need to stay around my house. Since you’ve finished dinner, you should leave now.” This time, Ivanka snapped at him without hesitation. Nonetheless, Michael did not fly into a fit of rage out of humiliation. Instead, he sat down on the couch and switched on the television with ease. Ivanka was puzzled. She wondered if she had not made herself clear, or if Michael did not understand English. She thought. “Isn’t the b*stard aware that it’s time for him to get lost now?! I’ve already made myself clear, yet he still sticks around my house!” Ivanka sucked in a deep breath and said again, “Michael, please get out of my house now.” She had expl

    Kathy Houston was stunned. She looked at them in puzzlement. “What are you talking about?” Kathy looked at the people surrounding her in puzzlement. She was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, she was eager to find out what was going on. The reporter looked at her and asked, “May I ask, are you somebody else’s mistress?” Kathy’s expression instantly turned dark. “Nonsense! What do you mean by saying I’m somebody else’s mistress?!” The reporter could care much less about all this and went straight to the point. “We heard that you gave birth to a daughter with Theodore. He bought you the mansion where you’re currently residing, which is under your ownership. May I ask if all this is true?” A hint of panic darted across Kathy’s eyes, but she quickly masked it by saying, “Enough of this nonsense! My private life has nothing to do with you.” The reporter refused to give up and asked again, “Since you refused to answer the question and have instead stressed that it’s your personal

  • Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife   Chapter 1277 She Was Tempted

    “Quick! Hurry up!” Someone in the crowd shouted. Kathy was eventually sent to the hospital. The fact that Kathy fainted showed that she really was in a relationship with Theodore and that they had a daughter together. When they arrived at the hospital, the reporters still refused to retreat because there was no sign of Kathy awakening yet. When they began to disperse from the ward, Kathy finally opened her eyes slightly. If one truly fainted, they would still be in puzzlement after they awakened. But Kathy was not. Instead, everything became clear to her. Apparently, she knew what was going on just now. She did not really pass out. She was just acting. ... She then recalled her memory. The previous night, she was inside a private room in a restaurant. Kathy glanced at the address in the message on her phone before letting the attendant take her to the private room. After she entered the private room, a woman sat by the window. The window was drawn with a layer

    While saying this, the woman deliberately paused for a moment. Kathy looked at her in puzzlement. “It could be what?” “Couldn’t you find an excuse to cover up your current situation? Couldn’t you add a tinge of ‘color’ to your life?” “Do you mean to—” “Of course you can make it sound like both you and Theodore are innocent and make Lyla bear all the responsibilities. By then, the two of you can get yourselves out of the trouble perfectly and no one will pay attention to this. Besides, after your relationship with Theodore is made public, it will only bring you endless benefits.” “Endless benefits for me?” Kathy naturally knew what the benefits were. “I came for you knowing that you would have your doubts. Hence, besides telling you the benefits you’ll receive, I have something else to offer.” ... Kathy then stopped recalling her memory. She lay down on the bed motionlessly and calmly. She looked extremely calm. At the same time, she was somewhat panicked. She turn

    Michael’s expression grew increasingly dark. He felt irritated the moment they mentioned Ivanka. Michael put down the glass. He instantly lost the appetite for anything including alcohol, not to mention water. `Ivan clearly sensed his irritation and asked in puzzlement, “What’s wrong with you? Are you worried about Rosie? Didn’t you say Ivanka has a way of dealing with it?” Xander cast him a glance and said nothing else. Apparently, he disagreed with Ivan. Both Ivan and Michael were frustrated over similar issues. Michael kept quiet. When Ivan saw this, he gulped his glass of red wine before putting it down in annoyance. “I feel irritated too! That d*mn woman is brain-dead! She just stopped talking to me and blacklisted me. I feel like strangling her to death!” Ivan had previously felt frustrated because of Sandy. He seldom brought her up because he was worried that Xander and Michael would laugh at him, and Ivan did not want to lose his dignity. At that moment, he

    Ivan was really frustrated too, but there was nothing he could do about it.Xander patted his shoulder and said calmly, “Since things have come to this, all you can do is think of some way to salvage this. You have your ways to please the ladies, right?” “My ways don’t work on her. What else can I do?” As soon as he said this, Ivan became even more annoyed. “You guys still don’t believe me when I said that she’s a tomboy! I’ve used every trick in the book to attract a girl’s attention on her! I’ve also used them back when I was fighting over things with her, but it was no help at all. What could I do?” Ivan was really utterly helpless and devastated. Meanwhile, Michael said calmly, “It’s not that your ways don’t work on her, it’s because you used to have ulterior motives, so, she has lost faith in you a long time ago.” “D*mn it!” Ivan became even more annoyed when Michael hit the nail on the head. “Why is it just so difficult?!” He never felt how troublesome it was to pursu

    Instead, she remained standing in front of Jimothy and studied the group of men with a smile.“He works at our company. Since I’ve run into him, I’m obligated to come over and check on him. Pray tell, what has happened between you and why do you feel the need to resolve it with violence?”Jimothy stared at Candice while she stood with her back facing him. The look in his eyes was conflicted.The men exchanged glances with each other and saw a hint of astonishment in one another’s eyes.The man at the front of the group, who was likely their leader, said, “We just get paid to do this, lady. You should stay out of it.”When Candice heard his advice which also sounded like a threat, she did not intend to back down at all. Instead, she asked him, “Oh? How much did you get for this? I’ll pay you double. I just told you that this guy works for us, so I have to intervene.”The leader started laughing, and so did the men behind him. They did not even bother to hide the mockery in their t

Ivan was beside Candice.The second the waiter took the picture, Ivanka and Michael exchanged glances inadvertently.

They did not talk about work or how annoying Coco had been.They mostly chatted about the fun anecdotes they had he

    The call was soon answered, but the person who picked up was not Rosie. It was Mrs. Ruth.“Ms. Lane, you finally called! Mdm. Barkworth will be over the moon when she wakes up!” Mrs. Ruth sounded quite excited as she spoke.Ivanka smiled and asked, “Is Grandma resting now?”“Yeah, she hasn’t had a good rest after learning that you’d be kidnapped. Once you were safe, she finally allowed herself to rest.”Ivanka nodded and told Mrs. Ruth to take good care of Rosie. She later said that she and Micheal would visit Rosie soon.With that, she hung up the phone.Meanwhile, she also reflected upon herself.Rosie had gotten old, yet Ivanka always made her worry. From that moment on, Ivanka would consider the consequences before making any decision. It was not only for the sake of herself, but the important people in her life, who also cared about her.As she contemplated this, Ivanka inevitably thought of the gathering. It would be quite fun.Before they were about to get off work, San

  • Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife   Chapter 1977 Gathering

    Coco practically ran out crying.Candice glanced at Ivanka worriedly and asked, “Will something bad happen to her?”Ivanka was not concerned at all. “What could possibly happen? She is an adult. Even if something bad happens, she has to bear the consequences of her own action.”Hearing that, Candice no longer fretted over the matter.She was not really worried about Coco. She was just afraid that something would happen to Coco, and Ivanka would be blamed for it.But Ivanka had made a good point. Candice did not want to trouble herself with Coco’s matters. It would only be an unnecessary emotional burden to her.Everyone in the office began discussing the progress of their project.Perhaps it was because Ivanka had made an example of Coco, the other employees became especially energized and diligent during their discussion.They were even more focused than before, since they were all afraid that Ivanka would treat them harshly as well.Hence, they were particularly efficient.

    “Why don’t we leave now so that you can deal with this matter, Ms. Ivanka?”The director of the project department, who was perceptive and shrewd, planned to leave right then. Ivanka shook her head and signaled everyone to sit down.They were all uneasy, and they kept giving Coco weird looks.Two people had dared speak to Ivanka like that in the past—Ferris and Mandy.But those two were no longer with the company.At the thought of those people, the project department staff began looking at Coco with pity.However, Coco could not care less. All she wanted was to make a fuss.She wanted to see how shameless Ivanka could be.Unruffled, Ivanka stared at her. She did not get angry and seemed rather affable as she asked, “Tell me what upset you. Have we falsely accused you of something you didn’t do?”Before Coco said anything, Ivanka added cruelly, “Oh, I forgot that you aren’t familiar with the protocol here, so you have no idea what you did wrong, right?”Coco paled.

    Candice was momentarily stunned by his answer. She was a little offended.“Then why did you come to my office for this conversation?” Jimothy’s grin was mischievous. “To prove your company’s HR is blind, and you just lost a great talent. That’s all.”With that, Jimothy stood up, dusted off his sleeves dramatically, and turned to leave.“Your resume!” Candice called after him.Jimothy waved dismissively without looking back. “Keep it. Enjoy reading it. And don’t let an incompetent HR handle your interviews again.”Candice stood there for a moment and processed the scene before an involuntary chuckle escaped her lips. This one had personality.Regardless, the incident served as a wake-up call for Candice.It became glaringly clear that Coco was not only incompetent but also prone to overestimating her abilities.Before the task was assigned, she had the chance to decline. Candice had given her the opportunity and explicitly asked if she could handle it. Yet, Coco confidentl

    The college student finally believed her and walked toward Candice.On the other hand, Coco seemed guilty and was desperate to prevent it. “He has no respect for our company! Are you really going to hire someone like him who won’t follow orders?” Coco’s tone was sharp. Her finger trembled as she pointed at the young man.She scanned the room for backup in hopes that the people who had been flattering her earlier would speak up in her defense.Unfortunately, no one stepped forward.Those who flattered Coco only did so out of respect for Ivanka. Yet Candice had a close relationship with Ivanka and was the company’s vice president.The gap between a vice president versus an intern was as vast as night and day.Anyone with common sense knew where to align themselves.Coco felt a mix of despair and resentment.Candice ignored her entirely. Why Ivanka was so wary of someone as clueless as this was beyond her comprehension.Coco was simply dumb.Without wasting another thought o

    However, reality proved she had worried for nothing.Candice had called her over merely to ask if she had the most basic professional knowledge and whether she could handle the afternoon’s interview.Coco let out a deep sigh of relief before patting her chest confidently and assuring Candice she was more than capable.Knowing Coco came from the mountains, Candice was naturally skeptical, so she asked again, “Are you sure?”Coco thought to herself that it was just an interview. All she needed to do was just ask the candidates some questions. They could just choose someone who wrote the resume well.Not wanting to embarrass herself in front of Michael’s cousin, Coco pretended to be confident and accepted the task.Candice was half-doubtful, yet she still gave her instructions and let her go.However, Coco’s firm assurance eventually led to trouble....“Your company must be a joke to hire someone like you for HR.

    Word quickly spread within the HR department. After learning about Coco’s connection to Ivanka, some colleagues were vying to curry favor with her.Although some observant individuals noticed that the relationship between Coco and Ivanka was not as harmonious as it seemed, it did not deter the opportunists. Relentless flattery and attention poured in.One moment, a male coworker would offer to grab her food while placing his own lunch order. Next, a female coworker would ask if she wanted to order some coffee too.At first, Coco was caught off guard and politely declined. However, as she realized their intentions were purely self-serving, she began to accept their gestures without hesitation.By midday, Coco had become the department’s little queen. Ironically, as an intern, she should have been the one fetching coffee, running errands and collecting mail. Instead, she had colleagues practically lining up to do those tasks for her.Coco quickly assembled her own little e
