Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 1834 Move Back Home
Unfortunately, her sly cousin beat her to it.Defeated, Candice rubbed her nose awkwardly and sat down opposite Ivanka.Rosie saw what happened between them and could not stop smiling.When Rosie was young, she was stern and decisive. She implemented strict household rules and banned everyone from talking during mealtime. But as she got older, she seldom had a chance to meet up with her grandchildren.Therefore, she started chatting with them at the dining table.Rosie started off by asking how Candice was doing.Candice was modest. “I’m doing fine these days. Hopefully I have not caused trouble for Ms. Lane.”“I see,” Rosie said. She looked at Ivanka and said teasingly, “What about you, Ms. Lane?”That form of address startled Ivanka. She nearly choked on her soup. She turned away and started coughing. Rosie told Mrs. Ruth to bring her a glass of water.Before the water arrived, Michael reacted quickly and immediately put down his cutlery. He wiped his hands on the napkin
Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 1835 Bother
But given the state of Ivanka’s relationship with Michael, it was not appropriate for them to move back home together.Ivanka tucked her hair behind her ear. “I don’t think it’s a good idea. I don’t want to be a bother to Grandma.”Rosie disagreed with her. “You won’t be a bother. I’d be thrilled to have you both back. You’ll keep me company!” Ivanka smiled, but deep down, she was trying to come up with an excuse to persuade Rosie while not hurting her feelings.If she did not handle this matter properly, Rosie would bring this up again, even if she backed down this time.Candice could tell how conflicted Ivanka was, so she came to her rescue. She said to Rosie in a child-like manner, “Am I not enough to keep you company, Grandma? What have I done wrong?”As expected, Rosie shifted her attention to Candice. She tapped a finger between Candice’s eyebrows adoringly.“You brat. Are you getting jealous? Of course I adore you. I just want all of you in the house. No one is getting r
Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 1836 It’s A Trap
Ivanka later realized that Michael’s excuse had been a trap!But at the end of the day, she would never expose his lie and embarrass him in front of Rosie. With that in mind, Ivanka gave a cold snort.She would let him off the hook just this once. If he did that again, she would certainly teach him a lesson!Ivanka felt lethargic when she came to work the next day.Candice saw her when she came over to hand her a contract. She could barely hide the smile on her lips.Seeing Candice’s smile, Ivanka knew that she must have gotten the wrong idea.But at that point, Ivanka did not have the strength to explain herself, so she let Candice be.After signing the contract, Ivanka capped her pen and said, “Do you need me to go with you? This is not an ordinary assignment. The other party would come prepared. I’m worried that something might happen to you.”Candice picked up the contract on the table and said with a smile, “We live in a society with laws and regulations. What are they goi
Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 1837 Meeting An Old Acquaintance
Candice’s heart sank sharply, and her face instantly fell.She had considered different possibilities, but she never thought that he would be the boss of Victory Edge Corporation!“It has been a while, Candice.” The man wore a pair of sunglasses. There was a mocking smile on his lips. He opened his arms, as if to give her a hug.Candice stood still and stared at him fixedly.“Leonardo, how did you get out of jail?”It was her obnoxious, cheating ex-fiance!Leonardo took off his sunglasses. There was a regretful expression on his face.“It has been a long time since we last met. I thought you’d be thrilled to see me. But the first thing you did was ask me how I got out. You broke my heart.”Leonardo approached her as he said that.Candice watched him cautiously and stepped back out of reflex until she was backed into a wall and there was nowhere else to go.Thoughts raced in her head as she tried to figure out what happened.How did Leonardo get out? Was he the only one who m
Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 1838 Turn Over A New Leaf
Sensing the vibration from her phone, Candice was finally relieved.Her emergency contact was Ivanka. A while ago, Candice had gone shopping for a phone with her, and Ivanka had made Candice set her number as the emergency contact.Candice was immensely grateful for Ivanka’s foresight.As the distress message was sent, Leonardo was done dealing with the waitress.The waitress was fired on the spot.Candice was not in a mood to worry for the waitress. All she could think about was sending Ivanka another message without alerting Leonardo.Leonardo was still putting food on her plate. Seeing that Candice was unmoved by his gesture, his expression darkened. But he did not explode with anger, and the look on his face was inscrutable.He simply asked, “Why aren’t you eating? Is the food not to your liking?”Candice shook her head. “I’m not hungry at the moment.”Leonardo chuckled. “Impossible. You ate some stir-fried noodles at noon and haven’t had a single bite of food since you le

Before Ivanka said anything, Candice started rambling about a random request.Ivanka refrained from saying a word, because she sensed that something was off.Perhaps Candice had not mispressed the emergency button. Her distress message was real!Just then, Leonardo snatched Candice’s phone right out of her hand and put Ivanka on speaker.Ivanka’s voice rang out. She sounded calm and did not betray a hint of emotion.“Go on. What is it?”Candice knew that Ivanka must have realized that she was in a dangerous situation.She heaved a sigh of relief. Her plan worked to a certain extent.She said, “I realized that there are some mistakes in the contract Dan Geralds submitted. Please review it as we need to submit it soon.”On the other end of the line, Ivanka frowned. There was no one named Dan Geralds in the company.She instantly knew that Candice was in a very dangerous situation.Ivanka inhaled deeply and made sure that she sounded as calm as possible so that whoever was th
Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 1840 I’ve Forgiven You
Ivanka knew she had been out of line, so she immediately apologized.“I didn’t mean to offend you. This is urgent. Candice went to a business meeting today, but something happened. I need your help to ask the police to track her phone.”About five minutes later, the conference room door opened again. Evan stepped in. He looked apologetic.He lowered his head and said to the board members, “I’m sorry, everyone. Mr. Barkworth has some urgent business.”Ivanka and Michael left the company and split up after that.One of them returned to the office to check where Candice might be and investigate Victory Edge Corporation’s background. The other went to the police to ask them to locate Candice’s phone.Fifteen minutes later, Michael sent a location.Twenty minutes after that, they were both heading to a mountain resort.Michael called her and asked, “Do you know who’s behind this?”His expression was grim.Ivanka looked troubled, too. Speaking through her Bluetooth earpiece, she re

Candice had a feeling that there was something in the wine.She looked at him and shook her head.“Thanks, but I don’t want to drink. I need to head back later.”“Head back?” Leonardo’s smile turned sinister. He seemed to find it incredibly amusing and burst out laughing.Candice flinched at his reaction. She quickly grabbed her pepper spray from her bag. She kept a close eye on him and was wary of his next move.Before she could think, Leonardo held the wine glass in one hand and grabbed her chin with the other.His grip was so harsh that it hurt her.Candice placed both hands in front of her chest and tried to create some distance between them. She immediately began struggling violently.Leonardo became even more ruthless. He pinned the back of her head and tried to force the wine into her mouth.Candice realized she could not break free. So, she reached out and knocked the wine glass to the floor.The glass hit the floor and shattered into pieces.Some of the shards even

Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 2250 Why Don’t You Just Marry Me
Egbert stormed off in fury, but Sandy’s rage had not cooled in the slightest. She even lashed out at Ivan. “You shouldn’t have stopped me just now! If I’d given him a good scolding, or even a beating, maybe it would’ve finally knocked some sense into him. Otherwise, he’ll keep coming back. He’s always trying to use me for his own purposes!”She was so angry she was practically grinding her teeth. Ivan pressed his lips together and let out a long sigh. “With the way you looked like you were ready to kill someone, what did you expect me to do? Just stand there and watch you commit murder?”He was really worried when he saw how Sandy was losing control. “What’s the point of that old b*stard still being alive anyway?” Sandy said coldly. If she could really get rid of that old man, she would do it so she could avenge her mother and let go of that grudge she had been holding on.Ivan shook his head and said in a low voice, “Then think about it, how hard did you work to get to where yo
Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 2249 Not How A Proper Young Lady Should Behave
Sandy exploded. “Eighty million? Why don’t you go rob a bank? Or better yet, see if that wrinkled old face of yours is worth anything as collateral!”Sandy was fuming.Egbert had not expected Sandy to be so vulgar. He turned back, enraged.His black eyes shot daggers like he could rip her apart on the spot. Sandy did not flinch. Instead, she lifted her chin and gave him a cold, mocking smile. “What? Are you so mad that you’re thinking about hitting me? Do you want me to remind you of the law? We have no legal ties anymore. If you so much as touch me, that’s assault. And let’s not forget, you barged into my workplace to cause a scene.”“Sandy, I don’t know what kind of twisted morals your birth mother and adoptive mother taught you, but just look at yourself now! Do you even resemble a proper human being?”Egbert was extremely disappointed in Sandy. The one thing Sandy hated most was when people brought up her birth mother and adoptive mother. Those two women were the most import
Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 2248 Bring Me Eighty Million
Egbert snapped at Sandy coldly. His gaze was pressing.However, that had no effect on Sandy. Her lips even curled into a mocking smile as she said, “I’m not one of your McNeil pets. That look, your words, they cannot intimidate me at all.”At the mention of “pets,” Egbert was so furious that he slammed his cane against the floor with a loud crack. “Listen to yourself! Is that any way for a lawyer to speak? Do you even understand the meaning of respect, decency, and manners? Is that how your mother raised you?”Sandy had been mean and harsh on purpose to kill whatever sliver of hope he held onto.Just as she wished, he was angered.Watching him lose his composure, Sandy even felt a flicker of satisfaction rise within her. Her mother and herself were thrown out and lived a tough life while her father stood by uselessly. Who else was to blame, if not this old man standing before her?“My mother raised me to be a decent person. She taught me never to push away what’s rightfully mine,
Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 2247 You Sure Have A Lot Of Attitude
Thomas stated his purpose.Sandy’s reaction, however, was full of repulsion. She frowned. Even her tone was curt. “Uncle, I made it very clear about seeing him the last time we spoke. He never once considered me part of the McNeil family. If it weren’t for my mother taking me in, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Now that I’ve grown up and suddenly seem useful, he wants to claim me back? I was abandoned by the McNeil family the moment I was born. I’m not stupid enough to become a pawn for your family!”Sandy was furious.She had always treated Thomas with a certain courtesy, but at the moment, that line had clearly been crossed.Thomas, though only the messenger, could feel the weight of her resentment. “It may not be as bad as you think. If you won’t go, Dad will come find you himself.”That was the truth. Yet Sandy did not spare the old man a shred of respect. She scoffed. “He might be your dad, your head of the family, but he’s nothing to me. From the moment I was abandoned, th
Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 2246 The Wealth Gap Is A Major Factor
Sandy was really surprised to see Ivanka. “When did you get back?”“Today,” Ivanka answered honestly.“You have quite a packed schedule for just one day.” Sandy teased her.When they had planned to take down Coco last time, Ivanka was not around. Then Michael returned. From what Sandy could tell, they were always either together or closely following each other.Ivanka did not respond to her teasing. “I’ll only be here for a day or two, then I would have to leave again.”Sandy was speechless. She rolled her eyes at Ivanka. “Are you going to become a full-time jet setter?”“She can’t help it,” Anna answered for Ivanka. Just as she finished saying that, Anna’s phone rang. It was another case to follow up on. She had to step away to take the call.Only Ivanka and Sandy remained in the office. “You look exhausted. If you keep going like this, I’m worried you’ll wear yourself out!” Sandy shook her head and expressed her concern for Ivanka. Ivanka chuckled. “I wouldn’t go that fa
Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 2245 Would Beat Us Both To Death
When she heard what Anna said, Ivanka immediately teased. “Why, can’t I even come to the firm?”“Well, of course, you can come. You are an important partner; why can’t you come?” Anna laughed and looked at Ivanka, annoyed. Immediately after, she made a cup of tea for Ivanka.The tea was also of fine quality. She had bought it.Ivanka also remembered how she, Anna, and Sandy, the three of them, used to work hard together in the firm after she divorced Michael. Originally, she wanted to live on her own. However, one thing happened after another, and her plans got delayed. “I don’t see Sandy. Has she gone to handle cases?” Ivanka sipped a mouthful of tea, and immediately after, she asked Anna about Sandy’s whereabouts.Anna told Ivanka truthfully. “Sandy recently took over a very tricky case. She wants to make a not-guilty defense for that person. But the father of the deceased is the Groethe family, a rather prestigious family in Bostone. How could a commoner fight with a rich ki
Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 2244 What I’m Most Worried About
But as time went on, things happened one after another. While they were in contact with each other, she also slowly understood Jonah’s personality.The most important thing was that Jonah was also honest with her later on.When Jonah mentioned this again, Ivanka could not help but scrutinize Jonah again.He was starting to become unhinged!“Jonah, you need to stabilize your emotions. Sometimes, when you feel impatient, you should just close your eyes and take a good rest. You should not have such emotions.”Ivanka spoke solemnly toward Jonah and advised him. When he saw Ivanka’s serious expression, Jonah instantly also realized that he had lost himself.Ivanka was not like Chiara, who could accept him losing control. If he lost control in front of Ivanka, it would affect Ivanka’s mood. That would make him courting death too! This would put a halt to all his opportunities!Jonah also realized this problem. He was very distressed. He could not even explain why his emotions had
Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 2243 How Could He Think Like That?
When Ivanka said this, she pressed her hand on Jonah’s shoulder. There was no other meaning, she wanted Jonah to calm down.But this instead gave Jonah an opportunity. He grabbed Ivanka’s wrist. Then he tugged forward forcefully… Ivanka was caught off guard, and her whole body fell on top of him.He then took advantage of the situation and held Ivanka in his arms.The faint scent entered his nose, Jonah was intoxicated for a moment.But at that moment, he felt like he was waking up from a dream.Ivanka could not be so intimate with him. The sensations of touch and warmth in front of him were so real again. It was not an illusion, it was his compulsion!After realizing this, Jonah hurriedly pushed Ivanka away. He even more quickly apologized to Ivanka. “Iv, I’m sorry. I lost control. I didn’t mean to…”“I know.”Ivanka uttered softly, but her tone was cold.She knew. Neither did she blame him. But why was she using that tone, with that look on her face?“No, Iv. you’re blami
Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 2242 You Are Not An Invalid!
“Jonah, I don’t like you. I told you, I only see you as a friend. When I’m unwilling to do something, no amount of moral coercion would work on me.”Ivanka spoke up bluntly. She did not want Jonah to cling to something impossible.Jonah was silent.This was where Jonah and Michael were different.“Look, you still have so many things to do. By the time you remember me, we have already missed the best time. This time when you leave, did Michael go with you?” Jonah raised his eyes to meet Ivanka’s. He wanted to hear Ivanka’s answer from her mouth.Ivanka did not reply. But the look in her eyes already said it all.Her silence confirmed it all.Jonah felt that his heart grow incredibly heavy at the moment. He had a crazy thought: Was it true that if Michael died, Ivanka would be able to focus all her attention on him?However, he was an invalid and did not even have a chance to get close!“The way you treat Michael and the way you treat me has always been so different. I know. A
