Chapter 18 Chiara Succeeds

Author: Deer
Jonah smiled. “I know that, of course. Without you, I wouldn’t even file the lawsuit.”

However, he was not talking about this lawsuit.

Ivanka knew what he meant. She put down her glass and did not even look at the man. “Besides this lawsuit and the banquet, I don’t think I’ll have any other opportunities to work with you. You can rest assured, Mr. Sadler.”

Jonah raised his eyebrows in surprise. No one would be able to say what she did if they had not been sincere about ending their working relationship together after the lawsuit and banquet. After all, if she had ulterior motives, wouldn’t she have thought about how her plan with Michael would fail if Jonah did not seek her out for future collaborations?

“Mr. Sadler, you don’t have to continue with your tests. Our working relationship will be over when the lawsuit is over.”

After speaking, Ivanka picked up her fork and knife and continued eating. She obviously planned to ignore Jonah.

Jonah just kept staring at her. When he saw n

    Opaque emotions flashed in Chiara’s eyes. She ignored them and hugged Michael’s neck. Then, she chuckled and said, “Mic, I’m fine. It’s just a minor fall. You don’t have to worry. If you don’t believe me, you can put me down. I’ll show you I can walk just fine.”Michael said calmly, “Let’s talk after you get examined.”Nervously, he carried Chiara and left without glancing at Ivanka and Jonah, who were standing nearby.As Michael walked away, Ivanka noticed a hint of mockery in Chiara’s eyes. She thought to herself. “I was right. He likes Chiara.”She felt a wave of relief wash over her as she thought. “Thank goodness I’ve given up.”Chiara had been in a coma in the past. No matter what, they could not have exchanged any words. However, things had changed now. Chiara had woken up and was enjoying her life. The two often showed off their love to each other. If Ivanka stayed stubbornly in love with Michael as she had in the past, Chiara would only make her angry, and Michael would o

    “Of course not.” Jonah smiled. He stepped on the brake to slow down before he drove to the right lane. He then cast a glance at Michael, who was waiting for the light to turn green. After that, he turned right along with the car in front of him. During the ride, Ivanka showed little interest in chatting while Jonah occasionally struck up conversation. When they arrived at the entrance of Ivanka’s apartment unit, she looked at Jonah and said softly, “Thank you for the ride, Mr. Sadler.”Jonah smiled warmly. “It’s my pleasure. Have an early night. If you need my help, feel free to call me.”Ivanka simply nodded, got out of the car, and left without a word.As Jonah watched her leave, he narrowed his eyes slightly as he thought. “This woman is an enigma. I wonder if Michael will regret losing such a treasure in the future.”He clicked his tongue and thought. “But since I’ve already found her, I won’t let her go.”When Ivanka got out of the elevator, her phone rang. While opening th

    Ivanka sighed softly. “Grandma, you know full well that he doesn’t love me at all. If we barely maintain the marriage, he will only hate me even more. To avoid this, we’d better get divorced. Grandma, setting him free is also… setting me free.”Ivanka’s voice wavered at the last few words.Rosie’s face turned pale with grief as she thought. “She’s a good granddaughter-in-law, but that brat actually divorced her!”However, at this point, Rosie could no longer persuade her to stay. Even though she liked Ivanka and wanted her to be Michael’s wife, she could not be so selfish.Michael had never liked Ivanka and often left her alone all the time. This was not something a man should do, and he could never be a responsible husband to Ivanka. If she forced them to be together, it would only hurt Ivanka.However, Rosie did not want them to get a divorce. Her mind was a mess.All she wanted to do was to call Michael. She was going to go mad with rage!Rosie took a deep breath. “Iv, wait a

    “Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable…”Rosie slammed her phone down in anger. Then, she heard Samuel’s voice coming from a room.Rosie walked to the door of the room in puzzlement.“You did a good job. Since it has reached this point, it’s only right for you to get a divorce. Have you gotten the divorce certificate?”Rosie’s scowl deepened!That annoying old man only knew how to ruin things!How could he dislike such a good granddaughter-in-law? They would regret it. They would definitely regret it!She would give her granddaughter a grand wedding and make them regret it all!She regretted her past decisions. She should not have forced them not to get a divorce over the past few years.It had been torture to Iv. She should have let her go earlier.The more she thought about it, the sadder she became. She even thought about what kind of man she should find to match her perfect granddaughter.“You just signed the agreement? How long are you going to wait

    He thought Sandy was going to invite a skilled racer, but instead, she had invited a woman.What the hell was she doing?Sandy sneered and thought. “What an ignorant fool! Do you think Iv is an ordinary racer? I’ll sit back and watch how Iv amazes you later!”“Yes, she is the helper I invited. You’d best stay on your toes.”“Pfft! I wasn’t born yesterday. Sandy, you have to admit defeat if you lose. Just saying, I gave you a chance, and you got yourself a female helper. Are you kidding me?”Ivanka looked over in the direction of the voice. She immediately frowned when she found a handsome man smoking slovenly in front of her.“Ivan? I wasn’t expecting him.” She thought.He was Michael’s best friend, and he was also a young and promising lawyer. Some people praised him as the second Iris.However, since she changed her makeup and outfit today, Ivan only thought that she looked familiar but could not quite recognize her.Sandy immediately said in displeasure, “Yeah, she’s a woma

    After losing this race, Ivan felt embarrassed. After all, many people were watching, and he lost to a woman.At the sight of Sandy’s provocative gaze, he immediately growled, “It’s just money, and I have plenty of it!”Sandy snorted coldly, and it made Ivan glare at her irritably. “But that thing will be mine sooner or later. Get it memorized!”Sandy said, “Bah! In your dreams!”Ivan walked away with a huff.Sandy was in a good mood. She grabbed Ivanka’s arm and said while laughing, “Let’s go, bestie.”Ivanka did not say anything. After the two got into the car, Sandy held the steering wheel and turned to look at her. “Let’s go get dinner. Do you need to cook for your husband tonight?”The calmness in Ivanka’s eyes disappeared for a brief moment. “Let’s eat out.”Sandy was about to start the engine when she heard that. She looked at Ivanka in surprise. “Really?!”When she saw Ivanka nod, she stared at Ivanka with her eyes wide open instead of driving. “Are you serious? You’re

    Streetlights illuminated the night sky. Even though it was time to go to bed, the traffic was congested. Sandy eventually got through the traffic jam and found a parking spot. She wiggled her eyebrows with a grin as she looked at Ivanka and said, “Come, Iv. They’ve already arrived.”Ivanka smiled. “Okay.”Sandy smiled mysteriously as she wrapped her arm around Ivanka’s and entered the reserved room together.However, there were no lights on inside the room. It was very quiet inside. Sandy pretended to look puzzled as she looked around. “Huh? Did they lie to me? Why aren’t they here yet?”As she was speaking, she led Ivanka into the room. “Iv, we’ll wait for them here.”Ivanka was about to nod when she heard some sound.Poof!The sound of confetti popping was heard. The next moment, flashing lights were turned on. The lights inside the room flickered. Colorful confetti fell from the air and landed on Ivanka and Sandy. Then, loud cheers erupted.“Woohoo!

    Despite not being biological brothers, Michael, Ivan, and Xander Quinn shared a bond that could easily be mistaken as such.Ivan was unconventional and hot-tempered.Meanwhile, Xander had a gentle personality. Many people thought he was a handsome, soft-spoken gentleman with a good temper. He came from a rich and powerful family. However, he had a cold heart.Even so, the trio cared about the family they truly held dear to their hearts and of each other.“I’ve finally found my mother’s necklace!”Michael fixed his gaze on him but said nothing.Xander heaved a sigh. “You finally found it?”However, Ivan said gloomily “But the necklace is in the hands of a nasty woman! Worse still, I lost to her!”“Get to the main point,” said Michael darkly.Both Michael and Xander knew how important the necklace was to Ivan.Ivan gnashed his teeth and told them everything.Xander snickered. “If that’s the case, it seems that the necklace is very important to her, too.

    Ivanka nodded. What Rosie said was true. Rosie continued, “If Michael were the stranger, why are you resisting him and feeling helpless?” Ivanka was stunned. It was a fact. If a stranger courted her relentlessly, Ivanka would only find them annoying. But she would not resist them. Only she knew the reason she refused to accept them. But when it came to Michael, she treated him differently. From the bottom of her heart, she refused to give him a fair chance to court her. Was it because she was worried that her heart would move for him? Ivanka was startled by the thought. She shook her head as if trying to get that ridiculous thought out. When Rosie saw this, she chuckled. Ivanka was a smart woman. It was sufficient to say all that; too much would be meaningless. Rosie looked up at the moon. She could not help but sigh. “Tonight’s a beautiful moon night. Unfortunately, it’s time for me to go to bed.” After Rosie finished her sentence, she headed to her room. Ivanka

    On the other hand, Ivanka had no idea her best friend had “betrayed” her. She helped Rosie into the bedroom. When they passed the garden, Rosie suggested walking inside it. Ivanka was too embarrassed to reject her. So, they came to the garden. The gardeners attended and trimmed the garden daily. It was naturally a sight to behold. There were many rare plants in the garden. Of course, there were also some rare herbal plants in the garden. Ivanka had planted them, and the herbal plants were flourishing. There was a botanical garden encircled within the garden. It contained the herbal plants used to nourish Rosie’s health. While they were walking along the path, the fragrance of flowers, the earthy smell of the soil, and the faint aroma of the herbal plants entered their nostrils. The fragrance lifted their spirits. On top of that, the fragrance could refresh one’s mind. Rosie felt more refreshed as she walked down the path in the garden. She grabbed Ivanka and shared

    Within the blink of an eye, it was already 12 a.m.. Ivanka noticed that Rosie had been yawning but still refused to go to bed. Ivanka knew why. While they were chatting, Ivanka occasionally turned to Rosie. While Rosie was wiping off her basal tears, Ivanka and Michael exchanged glances. Ivanka sat beside Rosie and patted her hands gently. Rosie looked more alert, but her eyes were still a little blurry and appeared bloodshot. She had dark rings beneath her eyes. In spite of her exquisite makeup, her dark eye rings were still visible. Of course, it was only visible when Ivanka looked closer at her. Seeing this, Ivanka’s heart ached more for Rosie. Ivanka believed Rosie must have stayed up late or had insomnia when she and Michael went missing. Rosie wanted to receive first-hand information about the missing duo, but she was also worried that she would not be able to face reality. After struggling and battling with her inner conflicts for a month, Rosie’s health de

    Speaking of which, this was Michael’s first time seeing Ivanka looking this helpless, and he found this a novelty. Whenever Rosie said things like that, Ivanka usually looked expressionless. She either looked calm, or she pretended to be deaf. Based on her unease and embarrassed look, did that mean her heart began to move for Michael? With that thought in his mind, Michael was eager to find out the answer. At that moment, they heard Candice’s voice. “Why are you staying outside? Did I come at a bad time? I thought I could have dinner immediately after I returned from work.” Ivanka and her group turned around and saw Candice standing not far away from them. She smiled as she looked at them. When Candice noticed Rosie’s teary eyes, she looked surprised and approached them. “Grandma has a sharp tongue, but she’s soft-hearted. She said the two of you were so cruel that you left her and a whole mess behind. She said she would teach you a lesson when you return.” While speaki

    Everything had been fine just a moment ago.Why had she suddenly started to distance herself from him?It was probably true that a woman’s mind was unpredictable. Even a strong woman was no exception.Soon, they arrived at the Barkworth family’s mansion.Michael wanted to get out first and open the door for Ivanka, but she stopped him by tapping her soft hand on his shoulder.He looked down at her hand and then looked at her.“Don’t get out yet. I’ll grab a coat for you from inside and come back.”Michael wanted to refuse, but Ivanka had already exited the car.He watched her walk away. He then leaned back against the seat and felt a wave of relaxation.It felt as though he had finally found someone who had his back.He could not help but find it funny when he thought about it. He glanced at the spot where Ivanka had touched his hand and chuckled quietly.In the front seat, the driver felt so awkward about what he had just witnessed that he wished he could hide behind the st

    The motorcycle approached them with no sign of slowing down.Michael’s expression turned grim. He quickly pulled Ivanka to the side and turned to shield her with his back.Ivanka felt a sudden spin. By the time she regained her balance, she found herself in Michael’s arms.His embrace was warm and strong. She could smell his familiar scent.It felt as if everything around them had slowed down.Then she heard the sound of water splashing on Michael. She pulled away from his embrace.Michael felt his arm grow light and stared at the empty space where she had been. He could still feel her warmth lingering.He shifted his gaze to Ivanka.Before she could speak, he quickly asked, “Are you okay? Did you get splashed?”She blinked and shook her head.“I’m fine. What about you?”He shook his head, but she did not buy it. She was sure the sound of the water splashing had been loud. There was no way he was not wet.Without hesitation, she grabbed his arm and turned him around.His b

    Both Ivanka and Michael walked side by side as they maintained just the right distance between them. They looked great together, and their presence naturally attracted many gazes.It was worth mentioning that it was difficult to tell whether Michael did this on purpose or if it was just a coincidence.Both of them wore black trench coats that day. The styles were quite similar. This made them look even more like a couple in matching outfits.Ivanka’s wavy hair and red lips were striking. The beauty mark by her eye was the perfect finishing touch, which made her look stunning.Despite her beauty, Michael standing beside her did not go unnoticed either. He seemed to be a perfect complement to her.They looked like a perfect match.Ivanka noticed it but said nothing.Michael broke the silence and asked about Ferris and Mandy.“What are you going to do about Ferris and Mandy?”Ivanka did not answer right away.Michael continued, “Just having them arrested seems like getting off t

    Mandy was rushed to the hospital.She fainted, but Ferris was not as fortunate.It seemed that he could not accept the fact that he had kicked his own child. He kept shaking his head and muttering, “This can’t be. How could this happen?”He looked like he was losing it.However, the law would not overlook his actions just because of his mental state.Ivanka had seen enough of their mess and was no longer interested in watching them tear each other apart. She asked the police to explain why they were there.“Mr. Clark, Ms. Ivanka has filed a report requesting a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding her fall into the water. Following our preliminary inquiry, both you and Ms. Mandy are now considered suspects. We are required to take you both in for further questioning.”Ferris did not respond. He was still unable to process what had just happened.The police followed protocol and arrested him.Ferris was led away with his hands cuffed. He was completely dazed.N

    Still, Ferris kept quiet. However, the others in the room did not.A portly shareholder stood up, smacked his lips, and forced a flattering smile. “Isn’t it obvious? Ferris wants to take your place, Ms. Ivanka. Everyone can see it. He’s nothing but a complete traitor!”Once he spoke up, the rest quickly chimed in.“Yeah, he’s a traitor!”Ferris looked around the room. He already knew these people were untrustworthy, but he had not expected them to turn on him so easily.Ivanka, on the other hand, did not seem surprised.She had not taken any action on Ferris and Mandy because she wanted to watch the chaos unfold. These shareholders had sided with Ferris when she was gone, and they switched back just as quickly when she returned.Ferris was no fool. He knew that too. But the sense of isolation he felt at that moment drove him into despair.Still, he was not one to back down easily.He spat in the portly shareholder’s face.“And who the hell are you?” Ferris sneered. “You were
