“If we’re really here to use each other for mutual gain, please show some cooperation instead of me having to keep making the first move. Look, you didn’t even inform me that you’ve postponed your welcoming banquet. Do you think you’re still worthy of my trust?” Since Chiara went straight to the point, Tanya stopped beating around the bush and was frank to her. “I’m telling you right now, aren’t I?” Chiara answered curtly. Tanya was no ordinary woman. In fact, she could be vastly more powerful than Chiara. Chiara had no choice but to politely persuade her. Tanya did not reply. Chiara blurted out in frustration, “You knew about my current situation very well. I don’t have much say in this case. I took the risk to tell you all this. I hope you’ll be more understanding.” Tanya looked absolutely calm. In spite of Chiara’s submissive tone, Tanya was not affected at all. Above all, Tanya did not trust a word. Tanya remained silent and let Chiara continue. Chiara’s expression grew inc
Tanya fell silent. She did not want to comment. A hint of mockery darted across Chiara’s eyes. She knew how much it bothered Tanya. Chiara’s lips twitched. A hint of disdain flashed in her eyes before she continued, “I’ll say this, their departure is not as simple as it appeared to be. The mysterious person decided to postpone the banquet because Michael and Ivanka went to the auction. You should go there as well.” Tanya said calmly, “Are you saying that I should attend the auction too?” “It’s natural for you and your family to bid for something from the auction, after all. The auction in Mirvania isn’t any ordinary auction.” Tanya ignored her and asked, “What do you want me to do after arriving at the auction?” Chiara chuckled. “Nothing. Just have a look there, that’s all.” Tanya was puzzled. “By the way, you need to bid something at the auction. Once you’re there, you can’t remain idle. You can hide your identity, but you don’t need to hide it on purpose. It doesn’t
Chiara sounded belligerent. She seemed unbothered by Tanya’s words. In fact, she had many ways to provoke Tanya. Although Tanya had mentioned that it was useless to provoke her, it was not entirely true. After all, Tanya truly loved Michael. As long as Tanya had the desire to own Michael and loved him, she could be provoked. Tanya could not always keep her composure. So, it was possible that she could be provoked. Tanya frowned but said nothing else. She asked calmly, “Are there anything else?” “You need to give me an answer regardless of whether you’re going to the auction or not.” Chiara made it sound like she was simply talking about the weather. But there was a hint of confidence in it. She seemed confident that Tanya would certainly give her a satisfying answer. Nonetheless, Chiara decided to show her some respect by adding, “This is important. If you’re not going, I need to inform the mysterious person so that they can find another way to solve it. To put it bluntly
Chiara’s expression looked absolutely dark. She browsed Twitter. She had found it most frustrating as of late. After looking at the headline, her expression turned extremely dark. “Dad, is it true that you’ve got a mistress?!” The photo published this time was different from the last. Chiara clearly saw the mole on Theodore’s face from the recent photo. Theodore did not have the mole on his face in the past. The mole grew on his face just recently. She also noticed the tiny mole on his neck. It was clearly shown in the photo. The mole grew just recently as well. “How could this be?! “How is this possible?!” If the photo was edited, how could they possibly pay attention to such details? With these questions in her mind, Chiara questioned her father. Theodore was panicked. “Don’t you know what type of person I am? I’ve been faithful to your mother all these years. How could I possibly have a mistress?! “Besides, they have been out to slander me. Of course they will ma
Theodore did not expect the photo of their meeting to be captured once again. He looked carefully at every angle of the photo and confirmed that Kathy was not the one who edited it. “I’ll find a way. But you need to keep yourself in check these days. Our situation has changed.” Despite saying this, Chiara was actually sounding Theodore out. Theodore knew her daughter well. He said while aggrieved, “I’ve kept myself in check these days. They are making up stories. Don’t believe everything posted on Twitter. That b*tch is trying to get us with her terrible tricks.” Chiara inhaled sharply and tried to remain calm. If it was really Ivanka’s “horrible” tricks, she had been most proficient. “We’ll hang up now. I’ll find a way.” “I’m so proud of you as my daughter. I’m sorry for causing you trouble. Sigh.” After finishing the sentence, Theodore could not help but heave a sigh. “I know. I’ll hang up now.” “Okay.” They stopped exchanging pleasantries. Chiara hung up. She was
Sandy instantly replied to Ivanka disdainfully, “Loafing on my job, my foot?! I’m a conscientious worker. Why would I loaf on my job? “How could I possibly loaf on my job?” Sandy stressed that again. Ivanka chuckled. “Got it. You don’t loaf on the job. You’re just being lazy.” “Please! By the way, you must be tired after catching the flight the whole day. Are you lying down on the bed?” “I’m going to. I just finished blowing my hair dry.” While saying this, Ivanka walked to the bed. Before she sat down on it, someone knocked on the door. She glanced at the door and said to Sandy, “I’ll call back to you in a while.” “Okay.” Ivanka hung up. Then, she walked to the door and opened it. Michael stood in front of the door with a folder. It looked like an empty folder. She said nothing and waited for him to start the conversation. Michael passed her the folder and said calmly, “Here’s the organizer’s information. Have a look.” Ivanka took the folder and nodded. “Okay.” Ind
Ivanka had nothing to say. She knew all about what happened last time. However, she did not know what to say at that moment. Romance was a subjective matter, and only the person in question could call the shots. She could only say she somewhat understood what kind of person Ivan really was. Since she did not fully understand him, there was no way she could possibly persuade Sandy to be with him or to ignore him forever. “Do you want to answer it?” Sandy instantly snorted coldly, “Of course not. I don’t want to hear him speak now, and I don’t want to have any contact with him. Ivan has changed into an entirely new person. He’s like a simp now. If I didn’t know that he was after the thing that my godmother left me, I would think that he was serious about me.” Ivanka stilled for a moment. She did not say anything. No one could tell what was going on about their relationship.“Cr*p! He’s calling again! It’s so annoying! Is he ever going to stop?!” “Have you been ignoring him
In order to help care for Michael’s stomach, Ivanka made all of his meals. Throughout that period, Michael’s stomach was really well cared for by Ivanka. After eating, Ivanka then looked at Michael. “What are we doing today?” “Let’s explore for a bit,” Michael said calmly. Ivanka did not say anything. Her silence seemed to imply agreement. It was certainly not common for him to say something like that. If they were going to explore and walk around, they would surely come across something. Either that, or they would be out to observe something. The two of them washed up and headed out. Evan drove while Ivanka and Michael sat in the back. In the car, neither one of them spoke. It was so quiet that not even the music was on. Eventually, Evan stopped the car and said softly, “We’ve arrived.” Ivanka watched as Michael got out of the car. Then, she followed suit. Looking around, this place was remote and far from the city center. It was outside the main city streets. B
