Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 145 How to Be a Conniving B*tch
Everyone had a complicated expression. Mindy appeared to acknowledge Chiara as her daughter-in-law, but Rosie did not.Rosie held a higher position in this family than Mindy.Chiara’s marriage into the Barkworth family appeared to be a challenge.Chiara, despite having a good upbringing, could not help but despise Rosie.Rosie was attempting to humiliate her in front of everyone.Chiara took a deep breath and suppressed her rage. Then, she smiled and said, “Yes, Grandma, you are not old. Uncle Jay and Aunt Mindy were just worried about you. They're scared that you’ll fall.”Mindy relaxed and returned to her senses. “Mom, you’ve always been like this,” she said with a smile. “You’re not as strong as you used to be, so you need to take care of your body.”Rosie waved her off dismissively. Everyone saw her and came over to congratulate her. They sent her their blessings, and Rosie was happy.“Hahaha, you guys made me feel like I’m only eighteen today.” Rosie sounded happier than b
Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 146 How Could She Do This?
Chiara took a deep breath and smiled. Then, she said, “I won’t have such thoughts.”Right then, Ivanka helped Rosie walk to the head seat and sat down.Ivanka glanced at Jay, smiled, and nodded at him.When she met Jay, she felt awkward because she did not know how to address him.Jay was not like Mindy. She had a strained relationship with Mindy and could confidently address her as Aunt Mindy.When it came to Jay, however, she was at a loss. She could not call him Dad since she and Michael had divorced, but she could not call him Uncle Jay since he was kind to her. She was afraid that calling him Uncle Jay would sound distant. In the end, she remained silent.Although she called him Dad the last time they met, it was when no one was around. She could not say it in front of so many people.Samuel finally cracked a smile after a while. When others complimented him, he smiled.Chiara subconsciously looked around. She wondered why Michael had not arrived.Rosie smiled as she held
Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 147 Her Status Has Been Reduced!
She was ecstatic!She nearly jumped with joy.Rosie was watching the interview with Jay at the time. She smiled and said, “Did you see that? Iv still has feelings for Michael and does not want Chiara to marry him. As her grandma, I should help her.”Jay wore a puzzled expression. He knew that Rosie was playing dumb.Ivanka did this because she was upset with Chiara and Michael’s treatment of her. It was simply a form of retaliation. She had long since given up on Michael.When Jay saw that she was smiling and laughing, he did not ruin the moment by exposing her.She made the announcement without hesitation at the banquet.Jay could tell that Rosie did not want Iv to suffer. She did not want others to look down on her after she divorced Michael. Whatever happened, the Barkworth family would always be there to protect her.Michael noticed this scene as soon as he walked in.He noticed her wearing a dress that was lighter in color than the one she wore to the previous banquet.

When Rosie noticed Michael had arrived, her face darkened. “Is my birthday unimportant to you, brat? Why are you so late?”“Of course it’s important,” Michael said calmly, looking at the stunning Ivanka. “Grandma, you’re busy introducing your new granddaughter, so how can you have time to care about me?” he said dismissively.Rosie scoffed. “Don’t make fun of me, you brat. She’ll be my granddaughter and your father’s daughter from now on, so she’ll also be your sister.”Ivanka and Michael were taken aback, as were the guests.What a joke! His wife became his ex-wife and ended up being his sister. What a dramatic shift!Chiara cracked a wide smile. It was good to see Ivanka become Michael’s sister. They would never have the opportunity to get together again.She did not care what everyone thought and walked forward with a smile. “That would be fantastic! I was always concerned that Iv and Mic’s relationship would deteriorate after their divorce. It would be an ideal ending if they

He did not mind letting Ivanka sit beside Rosie since he could sit on another side.However, she had just filled both sides.Ivanka felt embarrassed and wanted to get up to give Samuel her seat. However, Rosie grabbed Ivanka’s hand and snorted coldly at Samuel. “I wouldn’t even respond to you if there weren’t so many people here. Go sit somewhere else.”Ivanka was dumbfounded.Rosie’s behavior only served to further embarrass her. She could see the rage in Samuel’s eyes. However, today was Rosie’s birthday, so she could not disobey her.Michael said nothing and sat on Rosie’s left side. When he turned his head slightly, he could see Ivanka with a troubled expression.He had never seen Ivanka react like this since the divorce. He felt a little dazed. She had completely changed.Samuel was irritated, but he did not want to argue with Rosie on her birthday. He sat next to Michael.Sandy had not yet sat down. Ivanka looked at her apologetically, but Sandy did not mind it. She point
Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 150 Who Planned This?
Chiara’s gaze was reproachful. She took her hand in hers and was clearly about to speak when she was interrupted once more by Catherine. “Do I need to remind you that you saved Michael’s life? Would the Barkworths be so ungrateful in front of so many people?” Chiara’s sneer was hidden beneath her gaze. That had been the desired effect! Catherine was her pawn. Catherine’s presence saved her a lot of trouble. Catherine looked straight at Rosie as Chiara pretended to stop her. “Mdm. Barkworth.” Rosie turned around to see Catherine approaching her with a smile. “Ms. White, do you have any business with me?” she smiled, unable to turn away someone who approached with a friendly smile. Many people were looking at them. Why should they bother eating the food when they could be watching something far more entertaining? They had eaten all sorts of delicacies before. In fact, they were sick of eating it! Even though the table was laden with delicacies, it was nothing out of the ordin
Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 151 The Surprise
Rosie chuckled. “I thought you were going to talk to me about something serious. There is nothing to be curious about. These two young ladies are very intelligent. They are well aware of my preferences. Both of their gifts must be exceptional. But, if I open it and show it to everyone, am I not comparing them?” It would be unfair to both gift-givers. Chiara dashed over and grabbed Catherine’s hand. “Catherine.” She whispered her name. Then, she looked at Rosie with a smile and said, “You are right, Grandma. Catherine just came up with that idea out of nowhere. There is no need to compare our gifts. Catherine only mentioned it because she thought it was an interesting idea. Please do not take offense.” It sounded like she was interceding for Catherine, but some wondered if Rosie was picking favorites. “Is Ivanka’s gift unpresentable?” they wondered. “Is she trying to save her from embarrassment?” Rosie was irritated to see Chiara digging a hole for Ivanka. She had faith in I
Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 152 Gift
Mr. Harvey responded and went to the gift room. Everyone was eager to see what was going to happen. Ivanka and Chiara were more than just sisters; one was Michael’s ex-wife, and the other was his current girlfriend. The problem was that both his ex-wife and current girlfriend had a close relationship with the Barkworths. They each had their own group of supporters. Rosie and Jay backed Ivanka, while Samuel and Mindy backed Chiara. Chiara was Michael’s lifesaver. Chiara would win in the end, no matter what the crowd thought, but she had stated that she would never marry Michael, making it a difficult situation. It was a chaotic situation overall. Everyone was expecting a drama. There had been major drama after major drama since Michael and Ivanka’s divorce. Chiara did not take a seat and instead stood on the side, as she needed to get her own gift. Catherine’s eyes were full of confidence. She cast a glance at Ivanka. She looked at her like she was going to fail misera

Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 2250 Why Don’t You Just Marry Me
Egbert stormed off in fury, but Sandy’s rage had not cooled in the slightest. She even lashed out at Ivan. “You shouldn’t have stopped me just now! If I’d given him a good scolding, or even a beating, maybe it would’ve finally knocked some sense into him. Otherwise, he’ll keep coming back. He’s always trying to use me for his own purposes!”She was so angry she was practically grinding her teeth. Ivan pressed his lips together and let out a long sigh. “With the way you looked like you were ready to kill someone, what did you expect me to do? Just stand there and watch you commit murder?”He was really worried when he saw how Sandy was losing control. “What’s the point of that old b*stard still being alive anyway?” Sandy said coldly. If she could really get rid of that old man, she would do it so she could avenge her mother and let go of that grudge she had been holding on.Ivan shook his head and said in a low voice, “Then think about it, how hard did you work to get to where yo
Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 2249 Not How A Proper Young Lady Should Behave
Sandy exploded. “Eighty million? Why don’t you go rob a bank? Or better yet, see if that wrinkled old face of yours is worth anything as collateral!”Sandy was fuming.Egbert had not expected Sandy to be so vulgar. He turned back, enraged.His black eyes shot daggers like he could rip her apart on the spot. Sandy did not flinch. Instead, she lifted her chin and gave him a cold, mocking smile. “What? Are you so mad that you’re thinking about hitting me? Do you want me to remind you of the law? We have no legal ties anymore. If you so much as touch me, that’s assault. And let’s not forget, you barged into my workplace to cause a scene.”“Sandy, I don’t know what kind of twisted morals your birth mother and adoptive mother taught you, but just look at yourself now! Do you even resemble a proper human being?”Egbert was extremely disappointed in Sandy. The one thing Sandy hated most was when people brought up her birth mother and adoptive mother. Those two women were the most import

Egbert snapped at Sandy coldly. His gaze was pressing.However, that had no effect on Sandy. Her lips even curled into a mocking smile as she said, “I’m not one of your McNeil pets. That look, your words, they cannot intimidate me at all.”At the mention of “pets,” Egbert was so furious that he slammed his cane against the floor with a loud crack. “Listen to yourself! Is that any way for a lawyer to speak? Do you even understand the meaning of respect, decency, and manners? Is that how your mother raised you?”Sandy had been mean and harsh on purpose to kill whatever sliver of hope he held onto.Just as she wished, he was angered.Watching him lose his composure, Sandy even felt a flicker of satisfaction rise within her. Her mother and herself were thrown out and lived a tough life while her father stood by uselessly. Who else was to blame, if not this old man standing before her?“My mother raised me to be a decent person. She taught me never to push away what’s rightfully mine,
Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 2247 You Sure Have A Lot Of Attitude
Thomas stated his purpose.Sandy’s reaction, however, was full of repulsion. She frowned. Even her tone was curt. “Uncle, I made it very clear about seeing him the last time we spoke. He never once considered me part of the McNeil family. If it weren’t for my mother taking me in, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Now that I’ve grown up and suddenly seem useful, he wants to claim me back? I was abandoned by the McNeil family the moment I was born. I’m not stupid enough to become a pawn for your family!”Sandy was furious.She had always treated Thomas with a certain courtesy, but at the moment, that line had clearly been crossed.Thomas, though only the messenger, could feel the weight of her resentment. “It may not be as bad as you think. If you won’t go, Dad will come find you himself.”That was the truth. Yet Sandy did not spare the old man a shred of respect. She scoffed. “He might be your dad, your head of the family, but he’s nothing to me. From the moment I was abandoned, th

Sandy was really surprised to see Ivanka. “When did you get back?”“Today,” Ivanka answered honestly.“You have quite a packed schedule for just one day.” Sandy teased her.When they had planned to take down Coco last time, Ivanka was not around. Then Michael returned. From what Sandy could tell, they were always either together or closely following each other.Ivanka did not respond to her teasing. “I’ll only be here for a day or two, then I would have to leave again.”Sandy was speechless. She rolled her eyes at Ivanka. “Are you going to become a full-time jet setter?”“She can’t help it,” Anna answered for Ivanka. Just as she finished saying that, Anna’s phone rang. It was another case to follow up on. She had to step away to take the call.Only Ivanka and Sandy remained in the office. “You look exhausted. If you keep going like this, I’m worried you’ll wear yourself out!” Sandy shook her head and expressed her concern for Ivanka. Ivanka chuckled. “I wouldn’t go that fa

When she heard what Anna said, Ivanka immediately teased. “Why, can’t I even come to the firm?”“Well, of course, you can come. You are an important partner; why can’t you come?” Anna laughed and looked at Ivanka, annoyed. Immediately after, she made a cup of tea for Ivanka.The tea was also of fine quality. She had bought it.Ivanka also remembered how she, Anna, and Sandy, the three of them, used to work hard together in the firm after she divorced Michael. Originally, she wanted to live on her own. However, one thing happened after another, and her plans got delayed. “I don’t see Sandy. Has she gone to handle cases?” Ivanka sipped a mouthful of tea, and immediately after, she asked Anna about Sandy’s whereabouts.Anna told Ivanka truthfully. “Sandy recently took over a very tricky case. She wants to make a not-guilty defense for that person. But the father of the deceased is the Groethe family, a rather prestigious family in Bostone. How could a commoner fight with a rich ki

But as time went on, things happened one after another. While they were in contact with each other, she also slowly understood Jonah’s personality.The most important thing was that Jonah was also honest with her later on.When Jonah mentioned this again, Ivanka could not help but scrutinize Jonah again.He was starting to become unhinged!“Jonah, you need to stabilize your emotions. Sometimes, when you feel impatient, you should just close your eyes and take a good rest. You should not have such emotions.”Ivanka spoke solemnly toward Jonah and advised him. When he saw Ivanka’s serious expression, Jonah instantly also realized that he had lost himself.Ivanka was not like Chiara, who could accept him losing control. If he lost control in front of Ivanka, it would affect Ivanka’s mood. That would make him courting death too! This would put a halt to all his opportunities!Jonah also realized this problem. He was very distressed. He could not even explain why his emotions had
Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 2243 How Could He Think Like That?
When Ivanka said this, she pressed her hand on Jonah’s shoulder. There was no other meaning, she wanted Jonah to calm down.But this instead gave Jonah an opportunity. He grabbed Ivanka’s wrist. Then he tugged forward forcefully… Ivanka was caught off guard, and her whole body fell on top of him.He then took advantage of the situation and held Ivanka in his arms.The faint scent entered his nose, Jonah was intoxicated for a moment.But at that moment, he felt like he was waking up from a dream.Ivanka could not be so intimate with him. The sensations of touch and warmth in front of him were so real again. It was not an illusion, it was his compulsion!After realizing this, Jonah hurriedly pushed Ivanka away. He even more quickly apologized to Ivanka. “Iv, I’m sorry. I lost control. I didn’t mean to…”“I know.”Ivanka uttered softly, but her tone was cold.She knew. Neither did she blame him. But why was she using that tone, with that look on her face?“No, Iv. you’re blami

“Jonah, I don’t like you. I told you, I only see you as a friend. When I’m unwilling to do something, no amount of moral coercion would work on me.”Ivanka spoke up bluntly. She did not want Jonah to cling to something impossible.Jonah was silent.This was where Jonah and Michael were different.“Look, you still have so many things to do. By the time you remember me, we have already missed the best time. This time when you leave, did Michael go with you?” Jonah raised his eyes to meet Ivanka’s. He wanted to hear Ivanka’s answer from her mouth.Ivanka did not reply. But the look in her eyes already said it all.Her silence confirmed it all.Jonah felt that his heart grow incredibly heavy at the moment. He had a crazy thought: Was it true that if Michael died, Ivanka would be able to focus all her attention on him?However, he was an invalid and did not even have a chance to get close!“The way you treat Michael and the way you treat me has always been so different. I know. A
