Chapter 1980 We Meet Again

Author: Deer
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. They did not even bother to hide the mockery in their t

    As it turned out, they had been holding hands the entire time.Candice came to her senses belatedly and immediately let go of Jimothy.“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to grab your hand,” Candice explained sincerely. Earlier, she had been in a rush and did not think it through.Jimothy shook his head and shrugged it off, but his face was still flushed.Candice suddenly suspected that it might be the first time Jimothy held a woman’s hand.But she did not pry, because it was not an urgent matter.“What happened between you and those thugs?” Candice asked out of curiosity. Jimothy did not seem like a troublemaker.How did he get in trouble with them?Jimothy forced a smile. “It’s a long story. It’s because of my family… I don’t want to talk about it now. Is that alright?”Perhaps it was because Candice had just saved him. Jimothy no longer sounded as brusque as he used to. He was polite and looked like a fresh-faced student.Naturally, Candice did not push for an answer.“It’s alrigh

    The next day, Candice saw Jimothy working at the company.He wore a suit. It sharply contrasted how flustered he had looked when the gangsters were after him. He seemed immaculate with not a hair out of place.Compared to how he used to look, he appeared more like a working man rather than a fresh graduate.“Morning,” Candice greeted him as she passed by. Jimothy responded in a low voice that only the two of them could hear.Candice smiled and left.Jimothy kept staring at her retreating back for no apparent reason.…Ivanka was at home. Perhaps it had been a while since she drank freely and relaxed. She ended up sleeping in. By the time she woke up, it was already 9 a.m..Michael was preparing breakfast.After washing up, Ivanka went downstairs and saw Michael cooking with an apron on. She could not describe how she felt at the sight of him.It was odd, but she did not hate it.“Morning.”Michael looked at Ivanka. His eyes crinkled as he smiled.Ivanka could not help re

    Michael shook his head helplessly as he watched Ivanka walk away.He immediately called for a cleaning lady to arrange for the cleanup. After that, he prepared to head to the office himself.When Ivanka arrived at the office, the receptionist seemed surprised.It was rare for Ivanka to be late, so much so that the receptionist even asked if she was not feeling well.Ivanka hesitated for a moment. She was unsure how to explain herself. Should she say her head hurt from a hangover?She decided not to share the reason and simply said she was not feeling well today.Still looking concerned, the receptionist told her to take care and rest.Ivanka touched her nose and agreed with a nod. She seemed guilty for some reason. On her way to the elevator, she overheard part of a conversation between the receptionists.“Did you hear about the college student who got driven off by Coco? He’s starting today. Mr. Barkworth hired him personally. He’s super talented. He’s really tall and hand

    Candice finally smiled. “Grandma will be so happy to hear that. Yesterday, she got really upset when she missed your call. First, she blamed Mrs. Ruth for not waking her up. Then she complained that you only called once. After that, she blamed herself for being asleep at that time.”It was funny at first, but the more Ivanka thought about it, the sadder it seemed.Ivanka understood what Candice was trying to say.She replied, “Don’t worry. We’ll go back together after work today.”Candice nodded and left.After watching Candice walk out, Ivanka grabbed her phone and sent a brief message to Michael to inform him about the situation.He quickly replied.[I’ll pick you up at your company tonight.]His answer was short. He was probably busy at the office.A smile spread across her face as the image of him in an apron crossed her mind.... The three of them returned to the Barkworth family’s mansion that evening.When Rosie heard they were coming back together, she was overjoye

    “Why are you giving me so much food? Are you trying to make me fat?”Michael smiled at her and replied, “That’s impossible. You could eat as much as you want and still not gain weight.”Ivanka was stunned for a moment.Candice set down her utensils, rubbed her arms, and playfully complained, “Ugh, I’m getting goosebumps!”Michael raised an eyebrow. “Really? Then maybe you should eat less. Look at how much weight you’ve gained.”Candice gasped and turned to Rosie.“Grandma, did you hear that? Mic is bullying me! How am I supposed to eat after that?!”Rosie laughed. Perhaps such moments were what family joy was all about.Just then, a servant entered and reported that a young woman was waiting outside and asking to see Rosie and Michael.Ivanka immediately had a guess about who it might be.She exchanged a glance with Candice. Neither of them said a word.Rosie asked, “Who is it?”She tried to recall which prominent family’s daughter she might have had dealings with, but she

    Coco could hardly believe her eyes. At the same time, her desire to marry Michael grew even stronger.Living in a place like this was a thousand times better than marrying her good-for-nothing cousin. Besides, she had always been the luckiest person in the village. Only someone like Michael could be worthy of her.With that thought, Coco straightened her back and confidently followed Harvey to meet Rosie.Once inside, she finally understood what understated wealth meant. The murals and antique collections there could easily provide a lifetime of comfort for an ordinary family.Her eyes gleamed with greed. She thought she had concealed it well, but little did she know that everyone at the table was sharp enough to see through her immediately.When she arrived, she scanned the room. She recognized all the familiar faces. Only Ivanka was absent.Coco was delighted. Could it be that Ivanka never came? Or had she left ahead of time?Either way, Ivanka’s absence was the perfect op

    Coco felt her head spin.The realization hit her hard. The elderly woman Ivanka was supporting was the real Rosie. Had she just flattered the wrong person?Her mind went blank for a moment. Her forced smile froze awkwardly on her face.Rosie took her time settling into the main seat. She then gently patted Ivanka’s hand affectionately, which spoke volumes about their close bond.The sight made Coco’s face turn even paler.After Rosie sat down, Mrs. Ruth chuckled and said, “Clicked instantly, did she? This young lady clearly mistook me for you, Madam.”Coco’s face flushed red from embarrassment before it turned pale again. Mrs. Ruth’s words practically branded her as someone who only fawns over those in power.Desperate to salvage her image, Coco forced out an awkward laugh. “N-no... that’s not it. I felt a genuine connection with you.”Mrs. Ruth smiled politely, but it was clear she did not believe her. She chose not to call her out, though it hardly mattered. Everyone present

    Rosie did not indulge her. She spoke directly, “Is it the job or the personality differences?”Candice added fuel to the fire. “She just doesn’t respect the internship position. She wants more power and took out her frustrations on people applying for jobs.”Coco shook her head. “No... it’s not like that.”“Then what is it like?” Rosie’s sharp gaze fixed on Coco.Coco felt as if Rosie could see right through her. It was as though any lie or excuse would be exposed instantly in front of Rosie.She hesitated. “I... I wasn’t familiar with the workflow. That’s why—”Rosie raised her hand and cut her off.After talking to Coco for some time, Rosie already had a good idea of what happened. Even if she did not, Coco’s stammering made it obvious that she was making up excuses.Rosie could tell Coco was trying to brainstorm ways to explain herself in a way that would leave Candice unable to refute her while also trying to shift the blame elsewhere.Rosie guessed that Coco would probabl

    Ivanka understood everything just by looking at Stella’s expression.The drinks and pastries had to be the problem. The weakness and fatigue people were experiencing must have come from consuming them. She tested them with a test strip right away.As expected, they had been poisoned.She had not eaten anything, so she was fine. But she was unsure about Vincenzo, so she checked on him immediately. Thankfully, he was unharmed.Stella let out a deep breath.Before she could say anything, Vincenzo scolded her. “You ran back here and left Njord alone? Hurry up and get back there!”“Yes, Boss!”Stella responded quickly and ran off.Ivanka was about to speak when Michael and Evan rushed in.Michael looked anxious and was breathing heavily.Just like Stella, he was panicking.“Come here. Let me check.” Ivanka nodded at him. She knew how stubborn he was.Michael pursed his lips together and hesitated.But Ivanka had already stepped forward and checked on him. His pulse was weakenin

    Vincenzo immediately noticed Michael putting some distance between them.It was not out of fear but respect for Vincenzo’s status. After all, he was Ivanka’s only family.Ivanka walked straight to Vincenzo without sparing Michael a glance.Michael could only stand there and watch her leave.Back at their spot, Vincenzo remained silent. Ivanka, however, felt uneasy.She had only gone to the restroom and had not expected to run into Michael.After some thought, she decided to explain.“Uncle, I didn’t go looking for him.”“You don’t need to explain. Even if you did, that’s your choice. I’ve said what I needed to. The decision is yours.”His tone was calm, but to Ivanka, it sounded like he was upset.She wanted to say more, but Vincenzo spoke first. “Don’t blame yourself. I’m not angry. Once the banquet is over, take a few days to rest. Then we’ll head out.”“Alright.”Since he had already said that, there was nothing more to say.Caeser had hosted the banquet to trigger inte

    Ivanka saw the grin on Michael’s face and immediately let go of his arm. Her expression darkened with displeasure.Michael looked like he was enjoying her frustration.“I’m not,” he denied at once, quickly adding, “I’m happy because you pulled me away. It shows you care.”Ivanka was speechless.She looked at his smiling face and shook her head. “I just didn’t want you getting into a fight with Mr. George right now. If something happened to you while I was there, I couldn’t just leave. And if I didn’t, that would make me responsible for you.”Michael frowned. “Do you really think I’m that useless?”He had fought Mr. George before and never even saw him as a threat. There was no way someone like that could take him down.“That’s not the point. Mr. George isn’t alone, but you are. This isn’t your territory, Michael. And don’t forget, the drug in your system hasn’t fully cleared, and your gunshot wound—”He cut her off before she could finish.“That injury was a long time ago. I’m

    Ivanka had never revealed her identity as Violet Cress. How did Mr. George figure it out just from her treating Caeser?“Mr. Ali, I only gave Mr. Hicks a few herbal prescriptions. It was nothing special.”“Caeser has plenty of skilled doctors, yet none of them could fix his condition. You did so effortlessly. That says a lot. Anyone who can earn his trust must be exceptionally capable. Ms. Ivanka, the Ganoderma Nebula is not something just anyone can use properly, nor does everyone have your level of confidence.”At first, Mr. George had not suspected anything. But after learning about the legendary medical expert, Violet Cress, he started making connections. She was well known by reputation, yet no one had ever seen her face. He had looked into her background and found that she was probably not elderly.There was also the Ganoderma Nebula.So, he made an educated guess.Looking at Ivanka’s calm reaction, he was even more convinced. When he first mentioned it, there had been a fl

    A teasing voice broke the moment, interrupting Ivanka and Michael.They turned to look.Standing before them was none other than Mr. George. It had been a while since they last saw him.Michael narrowed his eyes. He had not expected him to show up at Caeser’s banquet.“What? Didn’t learn your lesson last time?” His tone was cold and sharp.As he spoke, he stepped forward. He simultaneously shielded Ivanka behind him.They knew they were in Mirvania, and Vincenzo was nearby. No matter what Mr. George was planning, he would not dare make a move under Vincenzo’s watch.Still, Michael’s reaction was instinctive.“No hard feelings, right? Isn’t this how friendships start?” Mr. George replied indifferently. He stepped to the side and looked at Ivanka.“Friends?” Ivanka let out a sharp laugh. “Be honest, Mr. George. Do you really think we could ever be friends?”She had taken the Ganoderma Nebula. He had tried to steal it by sending his men. She had turned five of them against him a

    Ivanka tried to step aside, but Michael blocked her path.The acrid smell of smoke hit her.She instinctively covered her nose and mouth.Michael saw her reaction and put out his cigarette.“If I talk through a third party and they can’t get my point across to my subordinates, wouldn’t it be better to handle it myself?”Ivanka frowned. “Is this really the time to talk about this?”She thought about pushing him away, but she decided against it.“I know it’s not. I also know you did all that to make me give up. But I won’t. It will just hurt.”His voice was hoarse and tinged with sorrow.He looked heartbroken.If this had been before, she might have felt bad for him. But at that moment, she felt nothing. She said calmly, “That’s your problem, not mine. If you want to keep getting knocked out and run around like this, be my guest.”She stepped forward and pulled out her phone.Michael knew exactly what she meant. If he kept blocking her way, she would call Njord, Stella, and t

    “Alright, go back to the casino and wait for my order.”The fight between Tanya and Blake had revealed how fragile their relationship was. If Tanya thought the stranger she met at the party was reliable, she would try to leave Blake.She would have thought that she had gotten her freedom. But in fact, it was just another circle of hell awaiting her.By then, Tanya would suffer a worse fate than death.That was what Ivanka wanted to see.After all, Tanya had disguised herself as Ivanka and put a stain on her reputation for a time. Moreover, Tanya was still planning to come after her and Michael.Ivanka would not intervene in the feud between Tanya and Michael, but since she had run into Tanya at the party, she would like to settle the score between her and Tanya.“That’s your plan?”As Ivanka hung up, Vincent could not help frowning.He knew what she was up to when she had asked Njord to assign the job to a man.But the progress was too slow!Ivanka nodded with a smile. “Yeah

    Tanya was not a fool.Seeing Tanya’s reaction, the man smiled calmly and said, “Seriously? He’s just your boyfriend. He can’t possibly stop you from making friends, right?”Tanya ignored him and kept walking.She reached a junction and took out her phone to book a ride. But the Hicks family’s mansion was on the hillside. Moreover, Caeser had contacted the Ministry of Transport to impose traffic control in the area. Apart from those who attended the party, no one else’s vehicle was allowed to enter.Seeing that there was not a single car around, Tanya had no choice but to walk down the hill.Blake had told her to get lost, so she would not go back to the mansion to ask for his help.She walked for about five minutes. High heels were not made for long-distance walks, and she was in a long evening gown. She held a little purse that contained her phone, lipstick, a small packet of tissues, and nothing else. Worse still, she could not tear off the long hem of her gown.Tanya had no c

    What Blake said struck a chord with Tanya.Her expression was cold, and the look in her eyes was vicious.She did not even love Blake, so everything he did had nothing to do with her. She did not care if he was involved with other women.“Do you have anything else to say? I don’t think I need to be at this party for long.” Tanya averted her gaze so that she did not have to look Blake in the eye.She had made her point clear. If he did not need her around, she would take her leave for the night.Naturally, Blake knew what she meant to say.“Get lost then!”He yelled at Tanya right away. She did not even spare him a look before lifting the hem of her dress, turning around, and walking away.Blake’s voice was filled with disgust, hatred, and rage. But Tanya could not care less about how he felt.She had come to the party with Blake, who arranged their ride. The Hicks, who organized this party, had prepared a parking lot for the guests. There were cars arranged neatly across the p
