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!
In any case, it was better for her to know less about what was happening before he investigated things thoroughly.However, Ivanka shook her head and refused.“If I were to really address you as Mr. Windsor, as you requested, I might not be able to change the way I call you for the rest of my life.”That was the truth.Also, she really could not accept the black card that was shoved into her hand.“Uncle, I have my own money. Thank you for your generosity…”“What did you just call me?”When he heard the word “uncle”, Vincent became incredibly worked up.He was prepared for Ivanka to call him Mr. Windsor.However, he did not expect Ivanka to actually change the way she addressed him at a time like this.“Uncle.”When Ivanka saw Vincent’s excited expression and his mildly teary eyes, she did not feel nice about it. If someone was really at fault here, then her mother, Ellis, was at fault, not her uncle, Vincent.After Vincent learned about the relationship between them, he
Njord, who was responsible for sending Michael off from Mirvania, grew frustrated when Michael showed no intention of boarding the plane. “Michael, do you think everything revolves around you? It’s time to go. Can you hurry up? Ms. Lane isn’t coming to see you off. Stop fantasizing!”He had personally delivered those two teacups for the DNA test.He had also been the one to collect the paternity test results.The results were undeniable. After they saw the results and got acquainted, they were probably busy catching up. Nobody would have time to worry about Michael.Michael glanced at Njord coldly. The next second, he indifferently said, “When did I ever say I was leaving?”“What are you talking about?”Njord was baffled by Michael’s response. He and his assistant Evan had packed everything. Everything was all ready at the moment, yet Michael said he was not going to leave? Was he toying with him?Njord was furious.As he was about to grab Michael by the collar and pull him
