Jackie stared at Evan sternly. The anger in his eyes was obvious. In his opinion, Evan was nothing more than a dog by Michael’s side. Michael only seemed rich and powerful because his boss allowed Michael to do so out of courtesy! If not for his boss not wanting to hold them responsible, how could they have possibly left the casino alive that day? Evan’s face instantly became somber. He also understood that Kingzillion Casino was the largest casino in Mirvania. There was no way it would be able to make it to this point if they did not have some real authority and power. There was no need for Kingzillion Casino to deny having done such a thing. If the casino’s boss did not ask to meet Ivanka, then it must have been someone else! “Thank you for letting me know. Something has happened on our end. As assurance, we’ve already paid up to one-third of the ten trillion dollars. We’ll settle the remaining payment after we’ve finished handling the problem on our end. If you’re stil
“It’s a coincidence,” the man standing across from her said indifferently. He wore a black mask. Although it only showed his jaw and chin, he appeared cold and aloof. Those dark eyes did not hold any warmth in them either. Ivanka saw him and the people behind him put away their guns. “You think I’d believe that?” Ivanka scoffed at once. If he showed up alone and said it was a coincidence, she would have believed him. But this man brought his men and dealt with those who were trying to kill her. He was ruthless and decisive. Who would bring so many people along with them if they were to save someone by “coincidence”? “I happened to know that someone is trying to harm you. Is this how you treat your savior?” Alexander could not help but narrow his eyes. He stared at Ivanka, who looked indifferent, in front of him. This woman really was not grateful at all! If he had been any later, Eleanor’s men would have already taken her life. Then, they would have recorded the
“Michael?” Tanya walked in and pushed the door open, only to see Michael dripping wet. His shirt clung to the lines on his body. His toned muscles were shown clearly. At that moment, he looked alluring. Although Michael’s consciousness was getting wrecked by the drug, he still held on to a small part of his rationality from splashing himself with cold water, as Xander instructed. When he heard the voice, Michael looked toward the sound. Tanya stood in the doorway, under the light. Although Chiara told her that Michael had already drunk the spiked drink and told her to hurry up, she still panicked. Just in case, she was even wearing a special mask that looked exactly like Ivanka’s face. Even so, she still felt a little guilty. “Iv?” Michael noticed the face. Under the light, the skin was smooth like cream, and she looked beautiful. Michael immediately stood up at the same time as he called out. He was swaying. When he almost fell, Tanya rushed toward him at onc
“Go away!” Michael bellowed. His eyes were bloodshot and icy.The drug was taking effect. His rationality was slipping away.However, on the edge of losing control, Tanya’s actions were like a cold splash of water that shocked him back to reality.Ivanka would never be so forward, nor would she ever engage in such a seductive display.Tanya had never been yelled at like that. At that moment, she had set aside all her pride and dignity. Ignoring how uneasy this would make her feel, she reached out and tore away the last of her clothing.“Michael, it’s me, Ivanka. I’ve thought it through. We can get back together. I realize I still can’t get over you. I love you!“After the divorce, I realized none of those men can compare to you. None of them are as good as you.”Michael’s anger did not deter Tanya. She continued to approach him. Her bare feet padded seductively on the floor with each step.Michael’s vision blurred, but Ivanka’s face remained sharply in focus and more vivid th
The drug coursing through Michael was no ordinary one.It was a powerful, fast-acting substance.Without having intercourse with a woman, the chaotic flow of his energy and blood could overwhelm his body and potentially lead to a fatal outcome.That woman…Michael gripped Ivanka’s shoulder. His other hand was already tugging at her clothes. In his current state, his rationality had vanished!Without hesitation, Ivanka reached into the small pouch she always carried with her and opened it. She took a pill out and fed Michael.Within moments, Michael became a little clear-headed.“Iv?”He had seen two versions of her earlier and knew one was an imposter, so he called her name because he wanted to distinguish the real Ivanka by her voice.“Don’t speak. Save your strength. I’m calling Evan now.” As Ivanka said that, she pulled out her phone with an intensely serious expression.The powerful drug coursing through Michael’s system would be agonizing to counteract with medication al
Ivanka’s expression instantly ran cold.Who would show up in such a barbaric manner at a time like this?“Michael, I’m going to feed you a few more pills to hold off the drug effect. You’re going to feel even worse for a while, but you have to hold on. I’ll go see who’s out there.”As Ivanka spoke, she quickly fed him the pills to help him stay clear-headed.With that, she got up and left the bathroom.Unbeknownst to her, Michael’s gaze, which lingered on her, was filled with a mixture of confusion and something else.Ivanka soon stepped into the main room.She saw Jackie leading a group of men, each one more intimidating than the last.This was especially so for the man standing right in front of Jackie, Bert!She knew Bert had held a grudge against her since the earlier gambling session. He was clearly looking for trouble at this moment. His current expression was anything but friendly.“What do you want?” Ivanka asked coldly.“You’ve got the nerve to ask us that? You and
“Creak.”The door to the private room was pushed open from the outside. Evan walked in.Evan looked anxious. He was followed by three or four men carrying a large bathtub.Seeing Jackie and Bert, Evan immediately understood their intentions, but Jackie and Bert were puzzled by what was happening.“What are you doing?”Bert stepped forward.Ivanka’s lips curled into a sneer.Bert really was a dutiful lapdog for Jackie.“We have something to take care of. Bring me hot water, but don’t worry, we’ll also pay you the venue fee later.”After saying that, Ivanka turned and left.Bert was about to say something more, but Jackie stopped him with a raised hand.Evan gave his men a quick signal.They carried the bathtub into the restroom.“Let’s go. I’ll settle the ten trillion and the venue fee with you,” Evan said coldly. He understood their concern given the large amount of money involved.However, the problem was that when things were taken too far, it easily provoked resentme
“Back to the hotel,” Tanya ordered the chauffeur sharply. Her expression was dark with anger.“What about the man we took out of the casino?” The chauffeur glanced back at Tanya and asked for instructions.Tanya suddenly remembered Blake.Her eyes narrowed dangerously. “Bring him back with us.”Not only did he not help her at the auction, he even had the nerve to take her virginity. She had to make him pay the price!...As Ivanka was preparing the third round of the medicinal bath for Michael, Evan returned.In his hands was the Ganoderma nebula they had bid for ten trillion dollars. At the same time, he brought news for Michael and Ivanka.“Mr. Barkworth, Ms. Lane, Kingzillion Casino would like to thank everyone for their participation and celebrate the success of the auction. They’re hosting a gala three nights from now at 10 p.m. Here’s the invitation.”With that, Evan placed a black, gold-embossed invitation in front of Ivanka and Michael.Ivanka frowned as she looked at
