She did not think Michael would accept such an arrangement. Vincenzo also saw her concern. He said, “No matter how great Michael is, he wouldn’t be able to fight against me. Compared to me, he’s an amateur!” Vincenzo smirked in disdain when he spoke about Michael. He did not even think Michael was a threat to him. His arrogance was not ungrounded. Ivanka did not say anything else. It would be good if Vincenzo could send Michael back to the country. She would stay and continue her investigation with the clues that were given by Vincenzo. Regardless of the truth, she would want to carefully investigate it. She wanted to be clear about it. Besides, she was convinced by Vincenzo. Maybe her mother truly had no choice?Hence, Ivanka decided to stay. Vincenzo instructed Njord to arrange a private jet for Michael’s departure. Michael’s face darkened when he saw Njord making such an arrangement. “Where’s Ivanka? What’s your boss trying to do?” Michael narrowed his c
“You should leave with the rest,” Ivanka turned around and said to Njord. “Alright.” Njord obeyed Ivanka. He nodded and gestured at his subordinates before leaving the private room. Ivanka glanced at the restroom and noticed that Mr. George was unconscious and tied up. “You care about so many people.” Behind her, Michael spoke sarcastically. Ivanka was speechless. She turned around and rolled her eyes at Michael. “Michael, what are you angry about? Didn’t you already get your hands on the Ganoderma nebula?” He could bring that back for his grandmother. Once his grandmother had recovered, she would not allow Michael to stay single for life. Regardless of how much she wished for them to be together, she would know that it was impossible. With her old-fashioned thoughts, she would arrange plenty of blind dates for Michael. From then on, Michael and Ivanka’s paths would no longer cross anymore. Michael remained silent under Ivanka’s cold and disdainful gaze. Even th
He immediately walked toward Ivanka. “Ms. Lane, are you done? Why are you leaving when you’ve just come back?” “I have something to do. You should pack your bags and return to the country with Michael.” Even though Michael infuriated her, Evan did not offend her. Evan scratched his head. “We came here together. I don’t think it’s a good idea to leave you here alone. Besides, you’ve helped Mr. Barkworth a lot. Now that you’ve some things to settle, he can also provide you with some help. Even though he’s poisoned now, I can still help you!” “You won’t be able to help.” Ivanka understood what Evan meant, and she also knew that Michael meant well. After she had thought about it, all was well. But she had to think deeper about what Vincenzo meant. She also wanted to find out the truth herself. Otherwise, it’d be difficult to keep living in a mystery. “Besides any relationship issues, I can help with other things…” “Did I tell you it’s a relationship issue? Michael, what a
“Ms. Lane, you…” “What about me?” Ivanka turned back to look at Evan. When she saw Evan’s shocked expression, she frowned. She was confused. “Evan, if you have something to say, then say it. Don’t just stop halfway through.” She did not really like the way he was talking. Evan wanted to pull Ivanka to the side, but the expression on Njord’s face did not change the slightest bit. His gaze was still dark and cold as he stared at him viciously. “Ms. Lane… Is Njord your new henchman?” Evan had been by Michael’s side for so long. He had seen many people. Njord did not manage to frighten him. Not to mention, Ivanka was still by his side. He just could not believe that Ivanka would stand by and watch him being bullied by others without caring for him! However, Ivanka denied it outright. “No.” “You should go back to see Michael!” Evan had been very talkative lately. Also, she did not want to say anything more about Michael. However, Evan shook his head. “No, Ms. L
His words felt like sharp blades as they sliced deep into Michael’s heart! Michael struck again. Mr. George was tied up and helpless. In an instant, he knocked Mr. George down and left him sprawled on the floor. “Michael, look at how angry you are. Hahaha, you only cherish her after losing her. Your belated love is cheaper than dirt! No wonder you need to rely on women to get things done. What with their ability to sway their husbands’ opinions and good technique…” Men knew men best. Mr. George could tell. Also, he had overheard the argument that Michael just had with Ivanka. “Shut up!” Michael snapped. Mr. George sensed his intense anger as well as the murderous intent that was rising against him at that moment. But he just simply did not want to shut up. Mr. George laughed contemptuously. He did not even take Michael’s anger seriously. “Why should I shut up? I’m just voicing out the truest thoughts from the bottom of your heart, and you’re already getting annoyed? Mic
In the end, it was still because of Mr. George. Michael instantly understood when he saw Mr. George’s cold, dark eyes. Ivanka could have gotten him either an antidote or a poison! “Now that Ivanka is with Kingzillion Casino’s boss, I don’t think she’s going to come back or care about whether you live or die. You should bring the Ganoderma nebula back to your country and cure your grandmother,” Mr. George said coldly and sarcastically. In the next second, before Michael could make his move, his men had already surrounded and moved toward them. Soon, Mr. George was freed from his ropes. Although Mr. George was still very weak from the drug’s effects, at least he was standing tall and proud in front of Michael at the moment.Michael did not respond to him at all, and neither did he do anything, because he remembered what happened to Eleanor and Alexander. Getting into an argument in the casino would get him kicked out by the casino’s men. He did not want to leave at that mome
After all, Michael was his only target at the moment. “Whether or not I’m scared is my problem. If you say no, then we’ll have to settle this in the casino too,” Michael said calmly and coldly. He had his concerns. That was why he thought of it. But if Mr. George did not want to settle this peacefully and make a scene, he would have to settle the scores right here! “Who wants to settle scores with you in a casino?” Mr. George sneered indifferently and rolled his eyes at Michael.Immediately afterward, his men released Evan at his signal.He also ordered the men to put their weapons away.Mr. George walked away while being escorted by his men.Michael and Evan were left in the private room. Evan looked at the silent Michael. He hesitated before he said, “Mr. Barkworth, I think I’ve understood what Ms. Lane is saying. Why don’t we go back first?” Ivanka was smart and resourceful. She had her own plans. Besides, everyone in Kingzillion Casino listened to her orders. They
Vincenzo’s words were sincere. Since they were on the topic of gifts, he was also trying to take full advantage of the fact that Ivanka had no choice but to accept it.However, Ivanka stood firm with her stance. If she said she was not going to accept it, she was not going to take it.She held out her hand. Just as Vincenzo thought that she was going to accept it, she pushed it back to him.“I know you mean well, but I really have my own money. I can’t accept your money.”“Why?”Vincenzo looked at her with a puzzled expression.At the same time, he also saw the aloof look on Ivanka’s face.In an instant, he also understood.In the end, Ivanka was still bothered about the mother whom she had not contacted, met, or heard from in more than twenty years.This was a hurdle for him to form a proper relationship with Ivanka, so to overcome it, he had to go back, even if he no longer wanted to return to that country.For the sake of the lonely child in front of him, he must go back!
