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
Ivanka pursed her lips at Vincenzo’s question. She did not answer. She was not referring to the fact that he was speaking flippantly. But rather, he was going off-topic. He was asking her all these personal questions. Her words should have already made it clear. If she said anything else, it would just affect the flow of their conversation and make things unpleasant between them. The man did not get Ivanka’s reply, but he was in no hurry to press her for an answer either. After a while, the man sipped a mouthful of tea first before saying, “Actually, I did not have any purpose in calling you here. When I asked if you knew that person, you said you didn’t. You can just take it that I’m looking at someone else through you.” The man stated his true purpose.He did not manage to find out anything about Ivanka. So, he wanted to keep Ivanka around for a few days more by using the banquet as an excuse.He thought the most direct way was to ask her directly, but Ivanka’s reacti
Besides, Tanya was no longer interested in the place that the Casino had claimed the Ganoderma nebula came from. Neither was she interested in the bill waiver unless it could help take the Ganoderma nebula from Michael and Ivanka! How could Blake not see what Tanya had in mind? He could not help but purse his lips. “Don’t even think about it. Even if your plans succeed, Michael still won’t fall for you. His compromise is only temporary. Not to mention, you haven’t even succeeded yet!”But who was Tanya Cullen? She was the high and mighty lady of the Cullen family. She was usually waited upon hand and foot. Those around her regarded her with high respect. Even though Blake was keeping his tone polite, she still felt displeased and upset. She narrowed her eyes. “I didn’t succeed, so? Just because you came from a good family and have a bit of money, you can’t tell me what to do!” But Blake was indeed someone who had a high enough status to give him the confidence to do what
Even if she was angry, at least she was looking at him. Love could create hate, and hate could be turned into love. He was determined to get her love. He laughed and said, “I know. Haven’t I been satisfying your requests by your side? We have to get through what’s in front of us, right?” His eyes were glowing, and his smile was obvious, even that hint of smug mischief. Blake was also dangerous. Tanya knew what he meant by this. However, she did not expose him.No matter what Blake’s identity and background was, she was not afraid at all! She replied to him with a smile, “Didn’t you say you could help me? I don’t find this event interesting. With someone of your caliber, you can easily find a partner, right?”Blake kept smiling. He did not deny it and sort of agreed with Tanya. The next second, he said, “I’d rather be with you than find a new partner.” Blake’s eyes were dark. Tanya’s eyes were filled with cold disgust. … As she sat in front of the security came
Michael pursed his lips and took the initiative to apologize to Ivanka.Ever since they got back from Mirvania, Michael’s attitude toward her had toned down considerably compared to the past. Michael had indeed changed a lot.However, even though he changed, they could not live a honeymoon life like other couples and spouses.Ivanka corrected him. “Micheal, we can’t put it that way. No one expected this change. We came here on Grandma’s behalf with all our blessings. But we did not expect this wedding to go south. I’ll admit that my emotions were somewhat affected when I saw something like this.” “But, what’s the main issue? I think that I’m tired. I wish you wouldn’t pursue me so tightly. Let’s part while we are on good terms. I know that you know what that phrase means.”As she said that, Ivanka saw the flight attendant walk over.She waved toward the flight attendant, who then gently bent down and smiled at her nicely. “Hello ma’am, what can I do for you?” “Hello, can you c
Naturally, Ivanka and Michael could not get involved to clear the mess after that. It was almost time for them to return as well.“You’re leaving before I can thank you.” Candice took Ivanka’s hand. She was grateful from the bottom of her heart.“I originally came to attend the wedding, but I didn’t expect to witness it take such a turn. I’ll have to go back and explain to Grandma about it.” Ivanka said with a smile.Candice hurriedly nodded and smiled. She looked at Ivanka and said, “Ivanka, send my regards to Grandma. After things are settled over here, I will definitely go visit her.”Ivanka smiled. “Then it’s a deal.”“It’s a deal.”… On the airplane, Ivanka’s mood was down the entire time.Michael spoke to her several times and did not get any response. He frowned slightly when he saw that Ivanka was about to sleep. He directly pulled her hand.Ivanka immediately tried to pull her hand back but she was not as strong as him. She opened her eyes and looked at him unhappily
Just as he was about to say something else, a clear voice suddenly spoke.“I told them to play it. Is there a problem?”The crowd looked for the voice and saw Candice in a white dress. She looked serene and cool. It was a different kind of beauty.But this was not a wedding. It was obviously a funeral.Everyone looked at the heroine who was supposed to appear today. Shock crossed their eyes. It looked like the bride found out about their despicable deed. Immediately after, the bride said in a mocking voice once again, “Leonardo, how does it feel to lose your reputation? You experienced it before me. Do you like the wedding gift I gave you?”Candice looked at him. Her brow was calm and void of emotion.Leonardo was already extremely cranky. In a way, he was at the end of his rope. He looked at her incredulously. “What do you mean by that?!” Candice sneered. “I didn’t mean anything by that. Just letting everyone present witness and see clearly for themselves what mangy dogs d
At that moment, there was a crazy video rolling on the big screen. The video was unsightly. The man and woman on the bed were “wrestling” frantically with the woman’s coquettish voice calling out at the same time. Also, the facilities here were top notch and equipped with 3D surround sound. The guests had no idea what to do when they heard.Some of the sharp-eyed guests spotted the man and woman in the video in a single glance. “My goodness! Aren’t these two the groom, Leonardo, and the bride’s best friend Jennifer?!”The moment these words came out, it instantly set off an uproar!Jennifer was instantly dumbfounded when she saw the video! But the next moment she screamed in panic. “Turn it off! Turn it off! It’s not me at all!” It was just that, not only were her shouts futile, but she felt the contemptuous disdainful glances thrown at her from all sides!She could even feel like some of the men were undressing her with their eyes! She was screaming! “Turn it off! Turn
When she put on makeup, her features looked even more exquisite. She looked sharper. Michael’s gaze paused for a moment. Why had he not realized it in the past? Ivanka glanced at him and spoke directly. “I’m good to go. Let’s go there now?” “Yes.” Michael quickly collected his thoughts and rushed to the wedding venue with her. There were a lot of guests. Those who came were all the city’s upper-class people and everyone was open and relaxed. They were able to navigate their way in a situation like this and take the opportunity to meet more work partners.The groom also weaved in and out of the crowd. He was beaming and full of life.Jennifer was with him. The two of them were welcoming the guests together. Those who did not know any better might even think that the two of them were the new couple. Everyone arrived one after another. It was just that… Only the bride and Jarek were missing.The crowd could not help but be a little confused. Right among the murmuring
Of course, he was referring to Jarek, who was screaming on the ground. Ivanka and Michael’s eyes met across the distance. They exchanged a look with each other. In the end, they chose to stay out of it. What should have been done was done. No matter the outcome, it was Candice’s own choice. Michael took a step back and came to Ivanka’s side. “Thanks.” Candice stared at Ivanka and sincerely thanked her once again. She was not stupid, so naturally, she could see that her cousin greatly respected his wife’s opinion. On the other hand, Ivanka was highly self-sufficient.Not long after, the security guards came and took Jarek away. After Candice said goodbye to the two, she left in the opposite direction.Ivanka and Michael went back to their rooms together.On the way back, Ivanka’s brows remained furrowed, and Michael turned to look at her. “Still worried about her?”Ivanka’s eyes flashed, then she looked at Michael and said softly, “Do you think that she will be soft-h
Leonardo had always been a perfect boyfriend. He was so perfect and seemed to have been specially made for Candice. Candice used to find it suspicious. But she dared not probe further into her own suspicions. Since things had turned out like so, she had no choice but to confront it. Candice’s heart was filled with a slew of anxiousness and complications. Despite this, she held back her emotions. Without further hesitation, she lifted the blanket and got down from the bed. She walked to the room next door. Ivanka gave Michael a look so that he would bring Jarek along. Michael was amused. He believed Ivanka must have treated him as her bodyguard. She was the first woman who had dared to give him an order. Despite this, Michael did as he was told. After all, Ivanka was not supposed to get involved in all this in the first place. It was all about the Barkworth family’s business. When Michael confronted Jarek, Michael’s temper instantly turned foul. He glared at Jarek.
Bam! The room door was kicked open all of a sudden. Michael was the one who kicked the door open. The man in the formal suit had just taken off half of his pants when Michael entered the room. Michael exuded an air of standoffishness. The man looked dumbfounded. He did not know if he should put back on his pants or remove them. Ivanka was behind Michael. He did not let her enter the room. “On the count of three, put your pants on, or else—” Michael did not finish his sentence, but the man in the formal suit was so scared that his entire body trembled. The man knew that if he did not act as he was told, he would lose his d*ck. So the man quickly put his pants on comically. While Michael was entering the room, Ivanka followed him. She ignored the man in the formal suit and went to the bed where Candice was laying. They had made quite a commotion when they entered the room. Despite this, Candice laid motionlessly on the bed. Apparently, she had been drugged. It l
Jennifer took the man to Candice in the middle of the night. Things did not seem good. Ivanka knew something bad was going to befall Candice. She was about to follow them when someone behind her abruptly stopped her. Ivanka’s eyes flew wide open. Her scream got stuck in her throat. The man’s large hand had covered her mouth. At the same time, a familiar smell entered her nostrils, and she gave up trying to let go of herself from the man’s grasp. “Why are you giving up so easily?” As expected, Ivanka heard a familiar voice. She turned around and saw Michael’s playful smile. “I know it’s you, so there’s no need to keep trying to free myself,” answered Ivanka truthfully. “How did you know it’s me?” Her answer piqued his interest. Ivanka was about to explain when a thought struck her mind. After that, she kept quiet. “It’s a secret.” Before Michael could continue the topic, Ivanka decided to skip and end it by asking, “You saw everything. What do you think about it?”
