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
But who was Michael?Did Njord really think he could push him around without consequences?Of course not.Michael had originally planned to bide his time in the basement and wait for the right moment to see Ivanka.However, this no longer seemed to be the case. At this rate, Njord would probably beat him to death before he even had the chance to see her.Michael dropped the act. In one swift move, he delivered a brutal kick and sent the lackey restraining him flying across the room.The lackey never expected Michael to have so much strength in reserve.Everyone had assumed that Njord had already taken care of him, but they were wrong. Michael was far from done. When he fought back, no one could stop him.Panic spread quickly among the group. They scrambled to take Michael down, but he was too strong. One quick hook took out the first guy who lunged toward him. The rest were not much of a challenge either.Even Njord, who stepped forward with confidence, was nothing more
The others had long been annoyed with Stella. One of them deliberately added, “Exactly! Think about who Boss is. Ivanka won’t be his only woman!”“I bet Ivanka’s going to be the new favorite. I mean, she’s got skills.”“Yes, we should probably start getting on her good side!”“You all have way too much free time on your hands. Want me to help you lose your tongues?”Stella’s temper flared at their words. She threw her cigarette to the ground and stomped it out angrily. Her cold glare was enough to shut them up.“Get back to work!” She barked. The group quickly scattered.After a while, Stella turned around, only to find herself locking eyes with Ivanka.Ivanka was leaning against the door frame with her arms crossed. Her gaze was calm and steady.Ivanka had clearly witnessed everything.Stella did not panic. If Ivanka decided to whisper something in Vincent’s ear and Vincent chose to punish her for it, she would accept it willingly.“I don’t have the kind of relationshi
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?”
