Chapter 191 Puzzled

Author: Deer
Ivanka returned to her senses and looked at the door. “Come in.”

Soon, someone pushed it open. Abel stood at the door and smiled at Ivanka. “Ms. Iris, I would like to ask you some questions.”

Ivanka was puzzled. “Have a seat.”

Abel walked up to her, and his charming smile gave off a warm vibe that made him approachable.

He then passed his notebook and documents to Ivanka. “I recently received a case. I thought it was a sure win at first, but the opponent just obtained some troublesome evidence. I couldn’t find a way to win. Please have a look.”

He did not say anything further. After all, everyone knew that Ivanka had the ability to solve this.

Ivanka looked at the documents and appeared extremely calm. By then, she had controlled her emotions and returned to her senses.

Abel took the opportunity to size Ivanka up. Instead of leering at Ivanka like other men, he stared at her with admiration.

Ivanka did not care about this. After she read the documents, she passed them b

    Ivanka looked at her phone. When she saw the phone number, her gaze turned cold, but she answered the call at the next moment. “Uncle Theodore.”She spoke indifferently without revealing much emotion. In the past, she used to feel especially close to Theodore whenever she called him her uncle. She felt as if he was her biological father. Today, she addressed him as “Uncle Theodore” out of formality. She even found the words themselves to be laced with poison. She had never seen her uncle as such a horrible human being before. “Iv, are you still working? Am I disturbing you?” Theodore said with a chuckle. Theodore was as fake as ever; he acted as if he was the same as he once was. He probably thought that this would make Ivanka feel close to him. Ivanka felt as if her heart was bleeding. Ever since Theodore lived with Ivanka’s family, he had tried to scheme against her and her father. In fact, his determination made him feel as if he had endured plenty of hardship befo

    The crowd was shocked, and they stared at him in surprise. “Really? What did Ms. Iris say?” The male lawyer next to Abel was the first to ask. Abel chuckled. “She said to strike where it hurts and that I didn’t find the key to the problem.” “What’s the key problem, then?” Drury immediately asked. Abel smiled and opened his notebook. He pointed at number 7 and said with a sigh, “I wrote down the point, but I couldn’t see it as the key to winning the case, so I never looked further into it. My opponents came prepared, but they’ve still violated the rules. I couldn’t solve it because I trapped myself in a box and couldn’t see my way out.” When the rest saw point number 7, their expressions changed slightly. “Iris truly lives up to her reputation.” In truth, the lawyers who worked there were all elites. Suki did not hire many lawyers. She only hired six of them, but they were top-notch figures in the legal industry. Imagine how capable Iris was when she could easily solve a puzzl

    Although Theodore was unhappy, he said nothing. He sat before Ivanka and gave her a friendly smile. “Iv, why did you divorce Michael? Why didn’t you discuss it with me first? If you were having a hard time with your marriage, I could have helped you.” “Help me?” The news of her divorce was so sensational that everyone in the country and even around the world was aware of it. Theodore was also present at the banquet, so was there still a need to pass the message to him? Did he really need her to inform him about it? Theodore obviously did not want their relationship to turn completely sour. Otherwise, he would not have said such nice things and even invited her home. Ivanka guessed that there were two reasons for his actions. One, Theodore was worried about Rosie supporting Ivanka and refusing to give Chiara a chance. After all, Rosie was a powerful woman in the Barkworth family. Two, Ivanka was Iris. If he angered her, she would likely work with his competitors and bring

    Theodore was a little stunned. This was an indisputable fact, so there was no harm in admitting it. He smiled and nodded. “Indeed, that’s true.” Everyone in the company was aware of this. Besides, Theodore had no reason to deny it. The contract had been in black and white, and they had signed it from the beginning. There was no denying it anymore. The company belonged to Theodore, so no one could steal it from him! Lyla and Chiara subconsciously turned to Ivanka. They thought to themselves. “Is she planning to reclaim the company? What a joke! Does she think she can take back the company whenever she wants? Does she think she’s God?” On second thought, she mentioned the contract. Ivanka was Iris. Could she have found loopholes in the contract? Chiara immediately panicked. Ivanka nodded. “Okay, if that’s the case, please return the shares to me. I can forgo the dividends earned over the last few years. You can treat my dividends as a reward for your hard work in managing the

    Ivanka laughed internally. She was aware that Theodore did not want her to work in her best department. Even though she had voiced her desire to reclaim Lane’s Group, she knew that she could not immediately do it. After all, they had signed a contract. It would be difficult to persuade the old coot to return the company to her. Moreover, before Ivanka’s father passed away, he did not make a will. As Ivanka’s father’s eldest brother, Theodore had the right to inherit his company. Since she did not have a lot of company shares back then, she signed the contract without hesitation. Now, Ivanka wanted to reclaim not only her own shares but also the shares that belonged to Theodore and his family. She wanted to unmask them and kick them out of Lane’s Group! “Uncle Theodore, do continue.” Chiara and Lyla did not say a thing. At that moment, they naturally trusted Theodore. He must have his reasons for his actions. Theodore sighed before he said, “Iv, you’re aware that we ofte

    The next moment, Theodore acted surprised and laughed. “That’s great! It’s good that you can stay!” Chiara looked extremely happy. “Iv, you’re finally willing to come back and stay with us!” She repeated the word, “finally” again. Ivanka was absolutely sure that they were recording their conversation. She was recording their conversation too, so she was not concerned even if they garbled and twisted her words. Ivanka nodded. “I didn’t come home previously because my father died here. I didn’t have the courage to face the place he used to live in. It’s been so long, and I can’t hide from it forever. I’ll stay in my dad’s room tonight. Uncle Theodore, did anyone move anything in my dad’s room?” “N-No. Everything is still the same!” Theodore had always been annoyed with her father’s room because that place was the master bedroom. Although Theodore and his family were the owners of the mansion, they could not sleep in that room due to the demands of morals. They had to sleep in

    Theodore and his family grew increasingly excited as they chatted. They agreed with Theodore’s decision, and the corners of Chiara’s lips curled up slightly. “Ivanka thinks that she’s invincible simply because she’s an elite lawyer. Dad, I understand why you made such a decision. If you had refused to let her return to our home, she might end up working together with our competitors to stand against us. If she finds any loopholes in the contracts and helps them with their lawsuit, we’ll have to pay a huge sum as compensation. We might as well allow her to join the company so that we can keep an eye on her.” Theodore looked at Chiara in satisfaction. “Chiara, you’re as clever and capable as a man. I’ll be relieved to let you take over our family affairs in the future.” Lyla could not help but nod with amazement. “That’s right. Chiara, you’re really intelligent. We can rest assured when the time comes for you to take over Lane’s Group.” Chiara smiled. “The three of us should work t

    “Got it.” Michael did not give Evan any further instructions, so Evan acknowledged his answer and left. ...... Thanks to her tireless efforts, Ivanka finally found a bottle of medicine inside the room. The bottle had no label. In fact, it had nothing on it. She opened it and saw a few white lozenge-shaped pills. She wondered, “What kind of medicine is this? Was Dad diagnosed with some kind of disease before? Did he keep it from me because he didn’t want me to worry about him?” Ivanka pursed her lips. She did not want to alert Theodore and his family, so she took two pills out of the medicine bottle before putting it back in its place. She could not find any more clues inside the room, so she eventually gave up searching for them. She then took a shower and slept in her father’s room. She did not sleep well that night. Just as she was about to drift off, she thought she saw her father inside the room. Ivanka woke up with a start and tried to call out to her father, b

    Ivanka did not pay him any mind and got into the car. If Michael dared to chase after her again, she would most definitely kick him out of the car! She would do what she said she would!Michael did not catch up, but he blocked her with his arms wide open. His stance was clear: You can leave. But over my dead body! Ivanka could not possibly drive over Michael. But it was not a problem for Michael to keep blocking her way. Plus, she had just politely rejected his parents. So, it was even more impossible for her to turn back. Ivanka ran out of patience. She held her forehead and frowned. Michael had already drained her last bit of patience. She never imagined that Michael would actually cling to her to such an extent! How would she put it? All her positivity had been drained clean! “Michael, your parents are still at home. Aren’t you afraid they’ll see and laugh at you? I know Grandpa and Grandma are standing by our side now. It’s not like you and I haven’t been in

    Ivanka would neither accept the carrot nor the stick approach. Michael had no choice but to persuade her with reason and win her over with affection. Ivanka snorted. “Have you ever given me a chance to have a meal with you before this? As the saying goes, Rome wasn’t built in a day. It takes time for things to come to this state. Things might have passed for you but not for me!” Ivanka’s gaze was razor-sharp. Michael felt his heart clench up. At that moment, his throat was in so much pain that he did not know what else to say to her. Ivanka did not wait for his response. She pushed away his hand and headed out without hesitation. Michael did not stop her. Nonetheless, he went after her and followed behind her. Meanwhile, they heard the sound from the kitchen. Mindy prepared dinner in the kitchen, and Jay helped her out. They had heard their conversation. Out of courtesy, Ivanka went to the kitchen and greeted them. She said with a smile, “Uncle Jay, Aunt Mindy, I’m

    Ivanka clenched her fists. Her gaze was filled with ferocity. She looked like she was really going to punch Michael. Michael noticed the anger in her eyes. But since the person was none other than Ivanka, he was willing to take the beating. He even took a step forward and held his head high. “Strike me if you want.” “You!” Ivanka glared at Michael. He truly annoyed her. She reminded herself to keep her composure. She sucked in a deep breath before saying, “Michael, I’ve treated you with respect. You’d better behave yourself.” Right after she finished the sentence, Ivanka left. Before she even took a step forward, Michael grabbed her. “My mom is preparing the dishes inside the kitchen. If you leave now, you’re not showing me any respect. Please stay around to have dinner. Even though we’re already divorced, and it’s impossible for us to get back together again, we’re still friends,” said Michael. Haha! He had been adamant. He was using the same approach to draw close

    Mindy’s expression instantly darkened. “What’s with us being prejudiced against her? Had I ever targeted her when she married Michael from the beginning? “She knew how well Rosie had treated her. It’s her own fault for failing to bond with Mic. How could you blame us?” Mindy had always disliked Ivanka. She believed Samuel’s intervention had been the reason for their marriage. It was an arranged marriage. There was no need for the Barkworth’s family to have an arranged marriage. At the end of the day, it was all up to Samuel to choose the bride for Michael. Ever since Ivanka married Michael, aside from the deliberate arrangements, they had hardly shown up together as a couple in public. Mindy did not have any particularly hard feelings for Ivanka. She believed the two would live happily together after getting married. After they divorced, Mindy thought Michael could start all over again. But she did not expect to see their current relationship was no different from when they

    It was Jay and Mindy. When Ivanka saw them, a thought came across her mind. She took out a syringe and inserted it into Michael’s arm to unmute him. Michael felt like he had been stung by a bee. It was as though he had been put in jail, only to be freed all of a sudden. Ivanka took away the syringe and gave him a glance with displeasure. “Get out of the car now. Your parents are here—” “Aren’t you entering the house?” Before Ivanka finished her sentence, Michael interrupted her. When he looked at her, his eyes were filled with sincerity and seriousness. But Ivanka rejected him coldly. “Quick! Get out of the car! I’m not joking with you. Get out now!” “Let’s go in together. After all, you’re already here. Are you worried about seeing them?” Michael was undaunted by her emotions and tone. Instead, he stretched out his hand to try to grab Ivanka. Nonetheless, she avoided him with ease. Meanwhile, Jay and Mindy saw them. They walked over to them. Mindy glanced at th

    It was no wonder Jonah asked for so many details. All these were facts.Ivanka did not avoid answering his questions. She gave a light smile. “The longest will be half a year.”If the treatment was ineffective after half a year, she would go to Silvania with Vincent.After all, it was not just about her.Upon learning of Ivanka’s decision, Jonah smiled wryly. “Iv, I don’t think it’s an easy feat to treat my legs. How about you go and deal with your stuff first? You can always treat my legs afterward.”Ivanka initially planned to do it that way. But George, Florence, and Margaret had interrupted her plan.Since she had returned to Bostone, why was there a need to travel back and forth again?She might as well treat Jonah’s legs.Besides, Vincent had informed her that it would be highly uncertain whether they could still return to their home country after arriving at Silvania.Ivanka said, “No. I don’t want to make so many trips. I’ll treat your legs for half a year and see if i

    It was not an overstatement to say Michael was crossing the line. Nonetheless, Ivanka could not just sit there and watch the two men get into a conflict. Hence, Ivanka pulled Michael to the side and glanced at him. “If you don’t want to be kicked out, you’d better wait here.” But Michael was undaunted by Jonah. Although Jonah had the power to rebuke him in his own territory, Michael refused to allow Jonah to get the upper hand. Ivanka saw the determination in Michael’s eyes. She was very worried that the two might get into a fight. She quickly pulled him back. “Stop making me worry about you. Just wait here! If you dare to come after me, I’ll…” Although she did not finish her sentence, her intention was clear enough. If Michael disobeyed her, she would make him a statue! Understanding this, Michael did not follow Ivanka. But when Jonah turned around and left, the provocation in his eyes was evident. Still, Michael listened to Ivanka. He did not want to offend her. He

    Jonah narrowed his eyes while questioning Michael. Still, Michael did not respond to him. Ivanka pursed her lips. She looked displeased when she answered Jonah, “Jonah, there’s no need to speak so harshly. Do you still want me to treat your legs?” She had temporarily made Michael mute. She did that to stop Michael from talking endlessly about those things. Nonetheless, he had still insisted on coming along with her, only to end up being targeted by Jonah. Ivanka had no intention of making Michael mute in front of Jonah. Upon hearing Ivanka’s words, Jonah looked at where she currently stood. She stood in front of Michael. It looked like she was trying to protect him more. As the saying went, true love was portrayed in hard times. This saying was true indeed. It was true that Ivanka cared about Michael. Jonah said gently to Ivanka, “I want you to treat my legs, and I only speak harshly to specific people. I already showed him much respect when he barged into my terri
