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
Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 195 That’s All There Is to It
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
Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 196 Is She Serious About Staying Here?
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
Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 197 What Troubles Could Ivanka Stir?
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
Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 198 Growing Distant from the Lane Family
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
Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 199 Waking Up So Early?
“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
Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 200 Do You Know What Rosie Said?
Ivanka nodded and said nothing. She appeared to be at ease. Lyla placed the food on the table, and they ate together. Chiara cast a glance at Ivanka before she hesitantly said, “Iv, are you still angry with me because of that incident during Rosie’s birthday? Ivanka looked at her. “Why would I be? If I was angry with you, why would I come back and eat with you?” Chiara was speechless. Ivanka’s words were unyielding, and they left no room for discussion. As such, Chiara did not know what to say next! She drew a deep breath and said in resignation, “The incident isn’t what you think it is. I had no intentions of outdoing you with that gift. After all, we’re cousins. We don’t compete with each other, but those people deliberately drove a wedge between us. That’s why it turned into a misunderstanding. Iv, I didn’t buy the rosary as a gift. Someone else swapped it with my gift.” Ivanka was indifferent. They had already turned against each other, yet Chiara was still saying the
Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 201 Tricky Lawsuits
Chiara’s calm exterior cracked slightly. Theodore and Lyla both raised their heads one after the other. They had wanted to interrupt several times, but the opportunity never came.“What did she say?” Lyla wondered aloud.Ivanka smiled slightly as she looked at Chiara. “Grandma told me she still likes you very much, but you’re too much of a schemer. It’s not uncommon for you to plot against people in various situations. If at all possible, she would like to address you as her granddaughter-in-law. In spite of all the wrongs you have committed, you are still so adamant about maintaining your innocence and getting out of the situation scot-free. Even if you manage to prove that this had nothing to do with you, it doesn’t mean everyone is blind, right?Chiara’s demeanor shifted.She thought. “Ivanka is laying a trap!“She is aware that I am recording this conversation, so she purposefully used Grandma to scare me. I’m not going to be intimidated!”Just as she was about to release the

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

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

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

“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
