Alexander could not find any other information, despite sending people to investigate.While he was deep in thought, a subordinate suddenly knocked on the door.He frowned and said, “Come in.”The subordinate entered and said respectfully, “Prince Alexander, Eleanor is here to see you. She’s waiting outside.”Alexander’s eyes narrowed before he replied calmly, “Let her in.”“Yes, sir.”In a couple of minutes, Eleanor came in. She was wearing a deep blue V-neck gown. Her wavy hair cascaded naturally over her shoulders. The jewelry she wore sparkled brilliantly.This was the first time Eleanor had appeared before him in such an elaborate manner. He was not particularly moved despite her efforts to present herself in this polished manner. For him, her calculated appearance and gestures were less impactful compared to Ivanka’s natural and unintentional charm.His expression grew cold as he thought about this. “What is it?”Eleanor, unaware of his thoughts, smiled charmingly and sa
Eleanor noticed that Alexander’s expression turning serious after she spoke.She seized the moment and said, “The best way to fix this is to kill Ivanka. If we get rid of her, we’ll secure our positions. The owner of Kingzillion Casino is going to be at the event today.”“So what?” Alexander frowned, clearly irritated.She replied coldly, “Don’t you want to know who this casino owner really is?”Alexander looked at her, his amber gaze deepening and becoming inscrutable. “Do you know who he is, then?”Seeing his interest, she smiled and said, “Maybe we can turn him into our ally. As long as we keep Ivanka in Mirvania and you stay out of it, I can take her out.”Eleanor seemed determined.Alexander laughed dismissively. “Forget about that plan. The owner has already stationed people everywhere to protect Ivanka. If you want to go after her now, you’ll need to check if the casino owner is okay with it.”He said this as he sat back down on his couch with his legs crossed. His hands
“Plus, it would be better for Mr. Barkworth if you’re around. What if something happens to the plane while we’re sending him off? The event is tomorrow...”Evan pursed his lips as he mentioned the event. If everything went well, they could leave Mirvania the next day. By then, Rosie and Michael would have recovered.Ivanka did not say anything further. She was merely venting earlier and also thought it unwise to send Michael back in his current condition.But what about the current situation?She turned to Evan and said, “You should come with me to the event tomorrow.”“Huh?” Evan was stunned. He was taken aback by the request.Michael and Ivanka were the perfect pair. What would he be doing there?Seeing Evan’s troubled expression, Ivanka frowned. “What? Are you not up for it? Do you really think Michael can make it in his state?”Evan glanced at Michael, who was lying with his eyes closed. His expression grew stern as he sighed inwardly.It was clear Michael could not attend
Evan and Ivanka had very different attitudes, especially regarding Ivanka’s actions.When she threw the gift, the clothes and jewelry fell out, and a piece of porcelain jewelry also broke.Gavin was enraged. “Ivanka, you turned our people against us. Despite that, our boss is trying to be friendly. Throwing his goodwill back in his face is too much! You’re really asking for trouble!”Ivanka frowned, trying to understand what he meant by turning his people against them.She narrowed down her guesses. This man had not been sent by Alexander, but rather by Lark’s superior.She looked at him mockingly and sneered, “Then, go back and tell your boss that I’m taking in those five men.”Someone who relied on poison to maintain their position and win people over was definitely not trustworthy. With that thought, she added, “And tell him not to get himself killed by his own poison one day! He won’t be as lucky as Lark and his crew to run into me.”Ivanka turned to Evan and instructed him
When they learned that the boss behind Lark and his group was Mr. George, Evan immediately had his men investigate the matter. But he was still not as efficient as Ivanka. Ivanka was reading the documents placed in front of her. Her gaze was still. Mr. George came from the Middle East and was connected with people from both sides of the law. Mr. George was a crazy man. He liked to use poison to control people, and he was obsessed with immortality. Rumor had it that he drank human blood and fed on their flesh! He came to Mirvania to bid for the Ganoderma nebula for two reasons. One, he needed the Ganoderma nebula to become an immortal. Two, he needed it to treat his severely ill elder sister. But no one knew what his elder sister’s name was. There was no information about his family’s background. Mr. George was a crazy and perverse man. His existence alone posed threats to others. At that moment, Ivanka and her group sat together. Ivanka turned to Michael and said glum
Mr. George asked a question that openly provoked Ivanka. She had saved Lark and his group. She also instigated their uprising against Mr. George. Lark was worried that Mr. George would give them horrible deaths. Hence, they decided to side with Ivanka and Michael. Even though Mr. George was aware of the entire situation, he still described Lark and his group as “lackeys”. Nonetheless, Ivanka noticed his smirk. He smiled, but it did not reach his eyes. Above everything else, his eyes were filled with coldness and cruelty. Ivanka narrowed her eyes. “Hello, Mr. George.” She had investigated him and found some information about him. There were no photos of him, not even during the auction last time. She had never seen Mr. George before. Whoever used poison to control others must be an extremely perverse man. Ivanka thought such a person must be an old and ugly man. Little did she expect to see Mr. George to be a devilishly charming man. He had a pair of deep blue eyes. He looke
They wondered what exactly the reason was for the owner of Kingzillion Casino to hold the banquet. They wondered what his intentions were. Ivanka raised doubts about the casino owner’s identity. Nonetheless, she was already there. Even respected people like Alexander and Mr. George also attended the banquet. “Michael, I’ll send you the way to use the Ganoderma nebula in a while. After the banquet ends…” Thinking of this, Ivanka looked extremely solemn and grave. She thought of the worst outcome. Above all, she was ready to get out of the situation unscathed. But Michael did not give Ivanka a chance to finish her sentence. He interrupted her sternly, “Ivanka, do you have other plans again?” There was a hint of coldness in Michael’s eyes. He looked angry. Nonetheless, Ivanka was not mad at him. “Nothing. I just thought of the worst possible outcome. I need to find out why they set their sights on me.” Ivanka was determined to find out why, even if it meant taking her life
Could it be that winning the games was just a smokescreen? What if the casino’s owner actually wanted to attract the winner for another reason? “Iv, Grandma sent you a voice message.” While Ivanka was still figuring out the reason, she heard Michael’s voice. His voice instantly snapped her out of her daze. Michael stared at her. The next moment, he played Rosie’s voice message. “Mic, when are you coming back with Iv? Why can’t I reach her? Help me find her. I’ve got something to talk to her about.” “Can’t reach me?” With a frown, Ivanka took out her phone. There was no prompt message shown on her phone. Besides, she had turned on her phone all the time. She did not feel any vibration from her phone from evening until that moment. Ivanka instantly figured out what Rosie’s intent was. But Ivanka did not reveal Rosie’s intent. “Can’t you just reply to her?” Ivanka believed Michael, too, had figured out Rosie’s intent. “But she’s looking for you,” Michael pointed at it.
