“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
“Of course you have to state it clearly!” Ivan could not stand it! He wanted to see what kind of words Michael would say next to convince him that he was better than Ivan! Of course, in Ivan’s opinion, Michael was just bragging. There was no way Michael could be better than him. Michael glanced at the water in front of him. He said calmly, “She can cure both Grandma’s and my illness, but I won’t say that she’s better than Sandy because of this. It’s not comparable.”Ivan fell silent. He frowned slightly. Ivanka was Violet Cress, after all. They had run so many experiments too. Also, Violet Cress never lied. It was one thing to lie to Michael, but she had said the same to Xander. So, it was only right that she could cure Michael’s illness. But what about Rosie’s…? Ivan was a bit skeptical. “Is there something you want at the auction?” “Yes.” Surprise suddenly flashed across both Xander’s and Ivan’s eyes. Ivan asked again, “Are you sure?” “Yes.” “Ah! I see! That m
Ivan fell silent. He did not want to talk anymore. But did he think that he would have a perfect ending just because he started this whole mess? However, Michael looked at him and said calmly, “I haven’t told her that she could come to the auction.” Ivan was confused. He did not seem to understand. However, Xander suddenly laughed. Ivan frowned and looked at Xander. “What are you laughing at?” He was like a highly strung bow at the moment and felt that Michael’s words were meant to make him annoyed, but he still could not figure out what it was. Xander smirked at him. “Figure it out yourself.” He felt that Ivan would get even more hurt if he said it out loud. Ivan instantly said impatiently, “Can’t you just say it outright? Would I need to ask you if I could figure it out myself?” Michael looked calm and did not show too much reaction. Instead, Xander could not help but say, “He means that if he tells Ivanka about the auction, they’ll have a new chance to
Michael frowned, like he was ignoring him. Ivan scoffed coldly. “Here’s my advice to you: it’s best not to be so confident. Now that you’re at this point, do you think we can’t tell how much attention you’re giving her?” Michael frowned again as he looked at Ivan coldly, but he did not say anything. Still, he was clearly hinting to him to shut up. But Ivan scoffed coldly again, “What’s going through your mind? As your best friend, I can see what’s going on clearly. But I have no idea if you’re denying it simply out of your pride or if you really haven’t noticed it yourself yet. You like Ivanka, alright? Don’t be like me.” Michael looked at him coldly. “You’re not me. You can’t judge me.” “I’m not judging you! I’m only saying this because I’m your best friend. Do you think I’d care if it was anyone else?” Ivan’s voice had a tinge of displeasure in it. But since Michael was his friend, he could do whatever he pleased. Xander also looked at Michael. “Ivan is now changing his
The times he dreamt about Ivanka were not few either. In fact, Ivanka was a regular in his dreamsHer every frown and smile, her joys and sorrows. Surprisingly, he remembered them all. Once upon a time, he wondered why he remembered every side of Ivanka so clearly, but he just realized that he even dreamt of her. Michael’s frown deepened. But he could not believe he had been rendered speechless. It was a really awful feeling. Xander looked at him blandly. “Admit it, you like her. There’s no need to be all awkward about it anymore. Besides, are you sure that it was really Ivanka who planned the thing all those years ago? You were her childhood friend. Do you really think that Ivanka could do such a thing?” Michael’s expression was dark. “She’s hiding so many of her identities from me. If she really treats me like a friend, why would I not know any of it?” He was implying that since she could hide so many things from him, she could totally hide her character as well. I
