Chapter 1736 Pointless

Author: Deer
The McNeil family had always cared most about male heirs.

Back then, when Sandy had nowhere to turn and no one to rely on, Ivan’s mother took her in.

Over the years, the McNeil family grew more prosperous, but Sandy never kept in contact with them. Thomas had never lent her a hand before. His appearance might have been a coincidence, but his decision to step in and help her was certainly not.

“You’re still part of the McNeil family. I’m your uncle. I couldn’t just stand by and let someone bother you,” Thomas said in a calm, indifferent voice.

Sandy wanted to ask, if it was true, why did Ivan’s mother have to take her in? And why did no one help her all these years?

But she held it in. She was no longer part of the McNeil family. After all these years, it was pointless to ask him these questions.

Before leaving the car, she nodded politely and said, “Thanks for helping me out today, Thomas. Do you have any other business with me? If not—”

Before she could finish, Thomas cut her o

    She had not remained in contact with the McNeil family ever since Ivan’s mother adopted her.Anything that happened with the McNeil family was none of her concern. She carried the surname because of her father, not because of the rest of that family.She would never forgive how they had mistreated her.Just as Thomas was about to speak, Sandy cut him off. “Thomas, if there’s nothing else, can you drop me off at the intersection up ahead?”Thomas did not argue since Sandy had rejected his invitation. He told the driver to follow her request. Before Sandy got out of the car, he said, “Think about it. Your grandfather’s birthday is still a while away.”Sandy replied bluntly, “I won’t go. He has plenty of kids and grandkids. They don’t need me. I’m really busy. I’m going off now.”She did not wait for him to respond and walked away.After the encounter, Sandy felt very angry. She went to the bar, reserved a table, and sent her location to Ivanka.Sandy: Bestie, come hang out with m

    These design drafts were the ones she had made before going to Mirvania. She had not had time to revise them properly.She was meeting him to provide an update. Finally, she could discuss the collaboration. It had been settled for a while. However, due to her busy schedule, things had been delayed.Jonah snapped out of his thoughts when Ivanka spoke. He looked at her and noticed how serious and focused she was. He shook his head and said, “There’s nothing wrong with your drafts. Iv, you’re amazing. If you give me more drafts, we’ll crush our competitors at the launch. I’m confident we’ll make Sadler’s Group and Lane’s Group the center of attention.”Jonah held Ivanka’s drafts while excited at the thought of the launch event where all eyes would be on her.Ivanka shared his excitement. She knew she had to seize these opportunities to make Lane’s Group more powerful. Through these collaborations, she could also prove herself to those who doubted her in the company.A few drafts alon

    Jonah looked at Margaret with a frown. He was clearly annoyed.Margaret, on the other hand, was unhappy. “She can treat you at home. Why does she need to take you out? Jon, you know your condition.”His legs were weak and needed treatment. If he was not careful, he could end up permanently disabled.Jonah was fully aware of his situation and was frustrated that Margaret had brought it up in front of Ivanka.Even though he had a chance to recover, he was still stuck in a wheelchair. This made him feel worthless. He felt his confidence slipping away as he faced Ivanka.Jonah tried to shake off the feeling and spoke calmly. “I know. That’s exactly why I need to make the most of my treatment time. If you’re that worried, you can come with us. But I’d prefer you not say anything harsh. I’d rather you keep your distance when Ivanka is around.”After saying that to Margaret, Jonah looked at Ivanka and said, “Iv, let’s go.”Ivanka obeyed and gently pushed him toward the door.Margaret

    Jonah felt a sharp pain in his chest when she said that.Ivanka knew how he felt, but she still kept her distance. She would not give him a chance, even though she had no one else in her life and was not planning to get back with Michael.The recent news had been weighing on Jonah. He did not want to upset her, but he could no longer hold back.“Iv, you know everything. So why won’t you give me a chance?” asked Jonah. His gaze was serious and filled with sorrow as he looked at her.In a low, hoarse voice, he added, “You’ve divorced Michael. What does he have that I don’t? Or do you think less of me because I’m crippled?”Hearing that broke Ivanka’s heart.She shook her head. “No, you’re better than he is. But love doesn’t work like that. I know how you feel, and I know you’ve let go of the reason you first approached me. When you protected me back then, I saw you as someone I could trust with my life. You risked your life for me, and I’d do the same for you.”“I’ve never looked

    “Let me pay for you and Mr. Sadler’s bill today,” Chiara said confidently.Ivanka smiled. “Alright, I’ll wait for you.”After she ended the call, Jonah asked, “What would you like me to do?”He noticed the playful smile on Ivanka’s face. From the start, she had been dropping him hints. He could tell she had a plan, but he wanted to know what it was and why she was involved with Melanie.Ivanka explained, “She’s after the Willy suburbs project. She’s trying to bait me into her game. I’m going to pull her into mine instead.”She wanted to have Chiara completely under her control.Jonah nodded. He understood what was going on. Soon, Chiara arrived and busied herself tending to both Ivanka and Jonah.When pouring a cup of water for Jonah, she “accidentally” spilled it all over him. She said, acting shocked, “Mr. Sadler, I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to!”Jonah smiled calmly. “It’s fine.”If Ivanka had not mentioned Melanie’s plans earlier, Jonah might have believed it was just a m

    Ivanka continued to observe Chiara from the side. She did not expect Chiara to target Jonah and wanted to play her dirty little tricks on him this time. If not for the fact that Ivanka wanted the game to go on for a while longer, she would be very tempted to record the scene and send it to Michael. Ivanka wanted him to see Chiara’s true colors. For Ivanka’s sake, Jonah continued to behave like a gentleman until Chiara left. It was only then that Jonah revealed his true thoughts to Ivanka. “Iv, are you causing me trouble? She doesn’t look like a smart woman. I wonder why you would think of getting close to her to play the game. There isn’t any project from the Levine family that is worthy for you to nail down.” Although Lane’s Group was no longer how it used to be, it still had collaborations with Sadler’s Group and other existing collaborators. Besides, Ivanka had Michael to back her up. Jonah knew all this. This was what he thought, and so he asked the question. Ivanka

    Ivanka instantly made herself clear. Upon hearing her sentence, Jonah’s heart sank. He looked sad. He asked, “If I don’t help you with this, you’re not going to help me out, right?” Ivanka felt embarrassed upon hearing his question. She quickly explained herself. “I don’t mean that. I’m playing along with what you said and giving you my word.” While saying this, she looked anxious. Seeing Ivanka in her current demeanor, Jonah felt sad. Even though he knew it, he still wanted to ask to make himself feel better. He smiled. “I understand. Iv, in return, I wish you could… Forget it. I won’t say anything more. After all, you certainly won’t agree with it. To say anything more than this would be me wasting my breath.” There was a tinge of misery to his smile. Seeing Jonah in his current state, Ivanka felt sad too. She was the reason Jonah fell to this state. She pursed her lips and said, “I understand how you feel, but I think our friendship can last longer than if we’re

  • Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife   Chapter 1744 Like What You Said

    Ivanka wondered if this was the real reason Sandy came to her house without hesitation. She felt speechless and resigned. Ivanka shook her head. “You already said that to me many times before, and I’ve stopped associating myself with Michael. I already did everything I could and explained to him. If I still stay beside him, that will only reflect badly on myself.” While saying this, Ivanka sighed. Sandy sneered, “What’s the point of you telling me all these? You should look at yourself in the mirror at how you react to the real situation. Whenever I rebuke you, you still glued yourself to him. If this were the past, I believe you would have had a few children with him.” Ivanka fell speechless. She wondered if gods had given Sandy the guts to mock her this way. She had, indeed, been very perseverant and passionate about Michael in the past. Speaking of which, she wondered why she never showed her passion toward Michael during their three-year marriage. Although she was v

    Instead, she remained standing in front of Jimothy and studied the group of men with a smile.“He works at our company. Since I’ve run into him, I’m obligated to come over and check on him. Pray tell, what has happened between you and why do you feel the need to resolve it with violence?”Jimothy stared at Candice while she stood with her back facing him. The look in his eyes was conflicted.The men exchanged glances with each other and saw a hint of astonishment in one another’s eyes.The man at the front of the group, who was likely their leader, said, “We just get paid to do this, lady. You should stay out of it.”When Candice heard his advice which also sounded like a threat, she did not intend to back down at all. Instead, she asked him, “Oh? How much did you get for this? I’ll pay you double. I just told you that this guy works for us, so I have to intervene.”The leader started laughing, and so did the men behind him.

    Candice ordered some food she liked, and the dishes arrived soon after.Sandy suggested that they all took a picture together.The others did not object.Sandy gave her phone to the waiter.Then the five of them moved their chairs to sit in a row.Michael and Ivan each took the outermost seats.Naturally, Ivanka was seated next to Michael while Sandy, who paid for the dinner, was right beside her.Next to Sandy was Candice, who sat awkwardly in her chair. Ivan was beside Candice.The second the waiter took the picture, Ivanka and Michael exchanged glances inadvertently. Meanwhile, Ivan stared past Candice, and his eyes fell on Sandy.Sandy and Candice were the only people who looked into the camera.But each and every one of them had a genuine smile on their face.Once they had taken a picture, they started eating together.It was a nice, relaxing dinner. They did not talk about work or how annoying Coco had been.They mostly chatted about the fun anecdotes they had he

    The call was soon answered, but the person who picked up was not Rosie. It was Mrs. Ruth.“Ms. Lane, you finally called! Mdm. Barkworth will be over the moon when she wakes up!” Mrs. Ruth sounded quite excited as she spoke.Ivanka smiled and asked, “Is Grandma resting now?”“Yeah, she hasn’t had a good rest after learning that you’d be kidnapped. Once you were safe, she finally allowed herself to rest.”Ivanka nodded and told Mrs. Ruth to take good care of Rosie. She later said that she and Micheal would visit Rosie soon.With that, she hung up the phone.Meanwhile, she also reflected upon herself.Rosie had gotten old, yet Ivanka always made her worry. From that moment on, Ivanka would consider the consequences before making any decision. It was not only for the sake of herself, but the important people in her life, who also cared about her.As she contemplated this, Ivanka inevitably thought of the gathering. It would be quite fun.Before they were about to get off work, San

    Coco practically ran out crying.Candice glanced at Ivanka worriedly and asked, “Will something bad happen to her?”Ivanka was not concerned at all. “What could possibly happen? She is an adult. Even if something bad happens, she has to bear the consequences of her own action.”Hearing that, Candice no longer fretted over the matter.She was not really worried about Coco. She was just afraid that something would happen to Coco, and Ivanka would be blamed for it.But Ivanka had made a good point. Candice did not want to trouble herself with Coco’s matters. It would only be an unnecessary emotional burden to her.Everyone in the office began discussing the progress of their project.Perhaps it was because Ivanka had made an example of Coco, the other employees became especially energized and diligent during their discussion.They were even more focused than before, since they were all afraid that Ivanka would treat them harshly as well.Hence, they were particularly efficient.

    “Why don’t we leave now so that you can deal with this matter, Ms. Ivanka?”The director of the project department, who was perceptive and shrewd, planned to leave right then. Ivanka shook her head and signaled everyone to sit down.They were all uneasy, and they kept giving Coco weird looks.Two people had dared speak to Ivanka like that in the past—Ferris and Mandy.But those two were no longer with the company.At the thought of those people, the project department staff began looking at Coco with pity.However, Coco could not care less. All she wanted was to make a fuss.She wanted to see how shameless Ivanka could be.Unruffled, Ivanka stared at her. She did not get angry and seemed rather affable as she asked, “Tell me what upset you. Have we falsely accused you of something you didn’t do?”Before Coco said anything, Ivanka added cruelly, “Oh, I forgot that you aren’t familiar with the protocol here, so you have no idea what you did wrong, right?”Coco paled.

    Candice was momentarily stunned by his answer. She was a little offended.“Then why did you come to my office for this conversation?” Jimothy’s grin was mischievous. “To prove your company’s HR is blind, and you just lost a great talent. That’s all.”With that, Jimothy stood up, dusted off his sleeves dramatically, and turned to leave.“Your resume!” Candice called after him.Jimothy waved dismissively without looking back. “Keep it. Enjoy reading it. And don’t let an incompetent HR handle your interviews again.”Candice stood there for a moment and processed the scene before an involuntary chuckle escaped her lips. This one had personality.Regardless, the incident served as a wake-up call for Candice.It became glaringly clear that Coco was not only incompetent but also prone to overestimating her abilities.Before the task was assigned, she had the chance to decline. Candice had given her the opportunity and explicitly asked if she could handle it. Yet, Coco confidentl

    The college student finally believed her and walked toward Candice.On the other hand, Coco seemed guilty and was desperate to prevent it. “He has no respect for our company! Are you really going to hire someone like him who won’t follow orders?” Coco’s tone was sharp. Her finger trembled as she pointed at the young man.She scanned the room for backup in hopes that the people who had been flattering her earlier would speak up in her defense.Unfortunately, no one stepped forward.Those who flattered Coco only did so out of respect for Ivanka. Yet Candice had a close relationship with Ivanka and was the company’s vice president.The gap between a vice president versus an intern was as vast as night and day.Anyone with common sense knew where to align themselves.Coco felt a mix of despair and resentment.Candice ignored her entirely. Why Ivanka was so wary of someone as clueless as this was beyond her comprehension.Coco was simply dumb.Without wasting another thought o

    However, reality proved she had worried for nothing.Candice had called her over merely to ask if she had the most basic professional knowledge and whether she could handle the afternoon’s interview.Coco let out a deep sigh of relief before patting her chest confidently and assuring Candice she was more than capable.Knowing Coco came from the mountains, Candice was naturally skeptical, so she asked again, “Are you sure?”Coco thought to herself that it was just an interview. All she needed to do was just ask the candidates some questions. They could just choose someone who wrote the resume well.Not wanting to embarrass herself in front of Michael’s cousin, Coco pretended to be confident and accepted the task.Candice was half-doubtful, yet she still gave her instructions and let her go.However, Coco’s firm assurance eventually led to trouble....“Your company must be a joke to hire someone like you for HR.

    Word quickly spread within the HR department. After learning about Coco’s connection to Ivanka, some colleagues were vying to curry favor with her.Although some observant individuals noticed that the relationship between Coco and Ivanka was not as harmonious as it seemed, it did not deter the opportunists. Relentless flattery and attention poured in.One moment, a male coworker would offer to grab her food while placing his own lunch order. Next, a female coworker would ask if she wanted to order some coffee too.At first, Coco was caught off guard and politely declined. However, as she realized their intentions were purely self-serving, she began to accept their gestures without hesitation.By midday, Coco had become the department’s little queen. Ironically, as an intern, she should have been the one fetching coffee, running errands and collecting mail. Instead, she had colleagues practically lining up to do those tasks for her.Coco quickly assembled her own little e
