Stella was happily carrying some luggage behind them when she overheard Ivanka and Vincent’s conversation.Upon hearing the content of their conversation, she became tense and rigid.She was powerless to argue, so she cast a desperate glance at Ivanka for help. Ivanka instinctively glanced at Stella when Vincent spoke and noticed her distress.Ivanka did not need any extra help anyway, and would never force anyone into an uncomfortable situation.She shook her head and declined, “Uncle, I already have plenty of people working for me. I really need to speak to Njord about something. I’ll only be gone a minute and then come right back.”After saying this, Ivanka approached Michael. She feared that if she delayed any longer, Michael would set off to handle matters in Njord’s name.Despite Michael’s logical and intelligent nature, his current use of Njord’s identity could complicate matters.At the same time, Ivanka also wanted to give Vincent and Stella some space to talk.Sinc
Meanwhile, Ivanka had already arrived in front of Michael. She deliberately lowered her voice as she said, “Michael, while you can still get out of the situation unscathed, quick, get Njord and have him do the job!” “Are you worrying about me?” Upon hearing Ivanka’s words, Michael instantly narrowed his eyes. He rested his gaze on Ivanka to observe her. Ivanka rolled her eyes at him. “Not really. But I notice you’re using a different but risky approach. If you offend Vincent, you’ll–” “Your uncle, you mean,” Michael interrupted Ivanka without hesitation. Ivanka fell speechless. She did not expect Michael to say that. She also noticed the increasing disdain in his eyes. “You’ll only offend him. When that happens, don’t accuse me of not taking your side!” “I never thought about it that way.” Michael instantly refuted her. When Ivanka looked into his eyes, she understood what he meant. She ignored him. “If you wish to remain stubborn, go ahead and do whatever you w
Ivanka knew Michael was a planner. But he should not execute his plan in this context. Michael stared at her with a frown. “What makes you think that I’ll only make the matter worse? Do you even know what sort of person I am?” Ivanka was stunned. She somehow felt that Michael was just wrangling over petty stuff with her. Before she said anything, Vincent already noticed it and walked toward them. The moment Ivanka noticed Vincent’s profound gaze, her chest tightened. She wondered. “Has he noticed it?” Ivanka inexplicably felt nervous. Vincent called out to her. “Iv, are you done yet?” Ivanka pursed her lips and composed herself before answering, “Yes.” Before she turned around and left, she blurted out to Michael, “Since you refuse to listen to me, I’ll stop giving you any advice. Take care.” Right after she spoke, she turned around and left without giving Michael a single glance or saying anything else to him. Michael stared at her silhouette. He inexplicably
Ivanka’s hair cascaded down her shoulders. She only had light makeup on. She had always preferred light makeup. Despite that, she still looked elegant. She looked beautiful from every angle. Vincent noticed the way Michael had looked at Ivanka. “Stella, take Iv downstairs and wait for me. Njord, we need to talk.” “Okay.” Michael grunted in acknowledgment and quickly collected his mind. He pretended to look respectful as he walked to Vincent. Vincent turned around and took Michael into a room. The moment Vincent turned around, his expression instantly turned as cold as ice. When they were inside the room, Vincent delivered a kick at Michael. Michael subconsciously avoided him, but Vincent noticed something else. Vincent narrowed his eyes. “You aren’t Njord. Who are you?” Although Vincent was raising a question, he had asked it with great conviction. Njord had been with him for many years. Vincent knew very well what sort of person he was. When Vincent attacked Nj
Vincent clapped his hands. A few of his subordinates charged in from outside. Vincent hinted at them through his gaze. The next moment, they surrounded Michael. “Michael, I’m giving you one last chance. If you don’t leave now, you won’t have another chance to do so. Take him—” Before Vincent finished his sentence, Michael rapidly attacked his men. He easily knocked them down. When Michael said he was undaunted, he meant it. His actions proved it all. When Vincent saw his men collapsing like buildings in the earthquake, his expression turned as dark as thunderclouds. He then remembered Ivanka’s past association with Michael. “Michael, don’t make me attack you.” Vincent knew Ivanka more or less still had some feelings for Michael. Moreover, women were usually more nostalgic than men. If Vincent were to harm Michael, Ivanka would instantly cut herself off from him. In the end, Vincent decided to control his anger. Even without the use of any weapons, Vincent attack
To Vincent, these expressed Ivanka’s feelings toward Michael. She subconsciously cared for Michael. He did not understand. “Do you really like Michael that much?” Ivanka’s heart clenched up. At first, she did not fully register her uncle’s question. Why would her uncle ask her that? Then, she noticed the stormy look covering her uncle’s face. Ivanka instantly realized what was going on and pursed her lips. “You noticed it, Uncle?” Although she did not sound sure, Ivanka’s heart was already certain of the answer. These words immediately made Vincent glance toward Ivanka. He looked a little disappointed. “Did you both agree for him to do this?” “No, it was his own idea.” Ivanka quickly denied it. Everything that Vincent did and the care he showed her after he found out that she was his niece was undeniable. If she really worked with Michael, what would that make her?She was worried that Vincent did not believe in her, so she explained, “I only found out today wh
He wanted the man to destroy his own future!“I won’t say anything more if you don’t have any ideas. But regarding you and Michael, I would like to advise against you staying by his side. This man never loved you in the past. Why would he possibly love you now?”Vincent did not think of Michael fondly. Even the mere mention of his name would infuriate him.If not for Ivanka’s sake, he would have already eliminated Michael from the map if he had his way. In fact, Michael would not even have the chance to open his mouth to speak!Ivanka nodded. “I know, Uncle.”Vincent did not say anything else when she readily agreed.Soon, they reached their destination.Vincent’s long-time friend had organized the banquet. The friend was just here to invite Vincent. But he did not expect Vincent to reject him for Ivanka. Sure enough, as soon as he was finished dealing with his matters, he came over immediately.Even though his close friend had misunderstood him, he had already explained thin
She had failed to be a filial daughter.Her thoughts had wandered far. Ivanka managed to reign her thoughts back in.However, the man’s vitals made her expression freeze.“Young lady, did you notice anything wrong with me?” the man asked Ivanka. There was confusion in his eyes too.Ivanka did not deny it and nodded. “Right. You fainted due to poisoning. In fact, you’ve been poisoned for three years.”“Throughout these three years, did you experience a loss of breath, along with palpitations and overall cold flashes? In fact, do you get dizzy now and then?”The man narrowed his eyes. He was already suspicious about this for some time. But he had not been able to find any evidence. Paired with his body’s current symptoms, he did not doubt Ivanka’s words.When she saw that she was right about the man’s symptoms, Ivanka kindly reminded him. “The perpetrator must be someone close to you. You need to pay attention and stop taking everything that you had all this while. Then you should
