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.
Njord paused mid-stride when he reached in front of Ivanka. He nodded and greeted her respectfully, “Ms. Lane, my boss has invited you to join him. Please come over.” Ivanka had not seen the person who came to her last time. This time, Njord was in charge. He had to be telling the truth. “Okay.” Ivanka nodded and followed him. Michael was worried about her. But Ivanka threw him a glance. Her gaze was akin to assuring him that she would be fine. Njord’s boss would not go to the extent of committing something stupid at Kingzillion Casino. Michael paused mid-stride and watched her leave. Mr. George was still around. After Ivanka left with Njord, he sneered, “If not for Ivanka, do you think you still can get the Ganoderma nebula?” Right after Mr. George finished his sentence, Michael rested his razor-sharp gaze on him. They exchanged glances. Animosity burned in the atmosphere. Mr. George came after Alexander. These annoying people came one after another, just like flies.
With that, Evan took Mr. George out. Mr. George was determined to win. He would not end up a prisoner. But Michael already made the arrangements before he came. Michael had arranged more manpower than Mr. George. Again, they were inside Kingzillion Casino. No matter how rowdy they were, they did not dare to cause trouble in a stranger’s territory. Alexander saw everything. He was not surprised with Michael’s arrangement. But he did not expect Michael to be bold enough to attack Mr. George and even have him taken away. The next moment, Alexander figured out the reason. Michael did that to warn the rest. Mr. George would not end up a prisoner. The show about the third party benefiting from the fight between the two would play shortly. By then, Michael would barely have time to take care of himself, let alone care for Ivanka. No matter how capable Ivanka was, at the end of the day, she was still just a woman. As long as she willingly surrendered herself to him, even the ow
Alexander looked indifferent. He blurted out, “I already warned you not to attack Ivanka from the beginning. Since that day onward, I never intended to work with you anymore.” Hence, it was no longer important to him if Eleanor wanted to work with him. Eleanor’s expression looked extremely dark. “Alexander, do you really think you’re the crown prince of Eldoria? To put it bluntly, the moment they learn who Ivanka is, you’re not even worthy to be her servant!” Alexander cared about his identity the most, and Eleanor knew well about it. Both of them belonged to the same type of people. If not, they would not get along so well from the beginning. Alexander narrowed his eyes. His gaze was filled with coldness and anger. Meanwhile, Eleanor had no intention to restrain herself. Alexander did not hide his emotions as well. Within an instant, he attacked Eleanor and grabbed her throat. Eleanor’s eyes flew wide open and stared at him incredulously. “How dare you attack me?!”
But she did nothing as she just watched Ivanka return and receive praise from the whole country. She would even rise to even higher heights for that. No. She was not happy with this. Eleanor held her anger back. “Alexander, don’t you forget. You’re not really a prince either. What will happen to you if you protect Ivanka? Don’t even tell me that it’s for love. How long have you been in contact with Ivanka? Are you going to give up what you’ve been obsessing over for years for such a ridiculous interest? Don’t you think you look ridiculous like this?” Eleanor knew exactly what Alexander cared for. She knew how he felt about Ivanka. So, she made sure that her words struck his sore spots. Alexander threw a glare at her. Eleanor laughed. “It’s useless for you to kill me now at this point. Even if the country won’t look too deeply into the death of a fake princess like me, don’t you forget whose territory this is. You have already caused a death in someone else’s territory and a
However, she did notice that Tanya had answered a phone call before the woman who was pretending to be her entered Michael’s private room. Her intuition told her that it was Tanya. But there was no concrete evidence. Tanya would definitely never admit it. Evan had also said that not only was there a problem with the surveillance that night, but there was also a blind spot in the security camera. Even though Vincenzo had security cameras around the place, they still did not have footage of Tanya using Ivanka’s face when she entered the private room. “Vincenzo, what’s your price if we restore that corrupted surveillance footage?” Ivanka gathered her thoughts and asked the man opposite her. She noticed that the man had not stopped staring at her. He was scrutinizing and sizing her up. His gaze had been like that since the beginning. This also made Ivanka suddenly remember that the real reason she was here at that moment was because the man in front of her had asked his men to
“Who is Ellis Evans to you?” The man stood with his hands behind his back. His eyes never left Ivanka. He needed to pay attention to all of Ivanka’s reactions after that statement. Ivanka looked at the man with surprise after he said this. Her clear eyes were tinged with doubt. “Do you think I’m like Ellis Evans?” she asked. It seemed like Ivanka did not recognize Ellis. In fact, she had not even heard of the name.What he did not know was that while Vincenzo was observing Ivanka, Ivanka was also observing him. It was just as she expected, there was no such thing as a free lunch. That was the man’s goal. He thought that she was related to Ellis Evans. The man was silent and did not answer again. He had someone investigate Ivanka. Nothing was out of the ordinary about her identity, including her parentage. Even though she had a wealthy boss, he did not think that the person in his memories would choose such a man. Ivanka’s mother ran away with another man when Ivanka
