After taking a step forward, he suddenly stopped with a complicated expression. He was perplexed as to why he had approached her rashly.It could be Ivanka’s scheme.She expected him to come here, so she paid a special visit to her father. She hoped to meet him by chance and have him hear these words so that he would be moved.Michael sneered. Ivanka was smart.“Dad, even though I live alone, you can rest assured. I believe I can live without a man. My life is going well. I’ve spent the last three years attempting to become a qualified Mrs. Barkworth. I abandoned my career and everything I enjoyed because I believed that was expected of a Mrs. Barkworth. However, I don’t have to give up on them anymore. Dad, I’ll be myself, just like what you told me. Being myself is the happiest thing.“Although I wasted three years on him, it’s still not too late. Dad, watch me become the brightest star in the sky. I will not disappoint you!”Ivanka leaned against the tombstone. Michael stood b
Frank was astounded. He was very familiar with his son.Frank surveyed Hanson’s confident demeanor in disbelief. “Who did you invite?”He fixed his gaze on Hanson, not wanting to miss even the slightest change of expression on his face.Hanson, on the other hand, simply smiled and said nothing. He laughed as he looked at his father’s expectant and complicated expression. “Dad, I’m not sure if we’ll be able to get a contract with the other party in this project, but we’re not going to lose the race.”Frank sneered right away. “How are you so certain we won’t lose? Which skilled racer did you invite to be so confident? Do you know that large corporations such as Barkworth’s Group and Sadler’s Group are attempting to invite Wisteria, and the prices they are offering are exorbitant? Wisteria will not consider accepting our invitation once she receives theirs.”Hanson simply smiled. “The astronomical price has nothing to do with us. Please trust me this time. I guarantee the biggest
He thought. “I must have been blind! Why did I marry such a flirtatious woman?“She had been in contact with other men even before our marriage. Did she never cheat on me in the past three years?“Hah!“To think that I was feeling a little guilty just now!”“Well, not today. Let us wait for the day when we succeed. Don’t worry. I’ll let you treat me for sure. I have to drive now, so we’ll talk later.”Michael could guess what Hanson said. He was enraged when he saw Ivanka smile after hanging up the phone.Ivanka sensed his intense glare and turned around. She was stunned when she saw Michael staring at her coldly.She thought. “Michael? Why is he here?”The man’s gaze was sharp, and Ivanka did not want to talk with him. She walked over to the car and was about to get in.Michael sneered. “Ivanka, why have I never thought you were such a loose woman in the past? You never stopped contacting Hanson over the past few years, right?”When he saw her red eyes, Michael’s expression
Michael’s coldness and warning stabbed Ivanka’s heart. However, she chuckled the next moment. “You know Grandma will find a way to make you go to the mansion if she asks me to go to the mansion. She wants us to reconcile. However, after visiting St. John Cathedral and listening to Pastor Paul’s advice, she will no longer force us to reconcile.”Michael immediately felt a knot in his heart.Ivanka put on a phony smile. “So, Mr. Barkworth, you don’t have to be concerned. I remember how kind Grandma is to me, so I won’t do anything to hurt her. You can rest assured, Mr. Barkworth. Grandma won’t force me to visit her, and I won’t step into the Barkworth family’s mansion unless I have no other choice.”The veins on Michael’s forehead popped out as he clenched his fist. The next moment, he shook off Ivanka’s arm. “You better keep your word!”Ivanka simply smiled and remained silent. She rounded the front of the car and climbed into the driver’s seat.She did not look at Michael. She fas
Sandy did not address Ivanka by name because she was aware that she was concealing her identity.However, her yelling drew a lot of attention. Everyone followed her gaze and saw a slim figure.She was indifferent and did not look around. She approached Sandy and the others as soon as she saw them.Frank glanced over subconsciously. When he realized it was a woman, he subconsciously looked at his son. Although he had no objections to his son having female friends, he did wonder why he had only female friends.Did he not have any male friends?It was outrageous!Frank’s expression darkened. However, no one noticed his emotion. After all, he had been in the business world for decades.Ivanka quickly approached and smiled at them. “You guys are early.”Ivanka looked different than usual because of her makeup, and Hanson was surprised. He had to admit that while Ivanka’s appearance had changed, her temperament had not. She was still noble and calm. People could not help but be drawn
Anna also took a seat. She chuckled as she looked at the two figures walking away. “He’s going to get his ear screamed off.”“Hahaha, that’s for sure.”Right then, Frank had dragged Hanson to an empty place with a dark expression. He did not hold back and scolded, “Are you insane?! Do you have any idea what you’re doing? I have spent so much effort to let you take over Jackson’s Group. I’d understand if you couldn’t find a good racer, but why did you invite some random woman? Hanson Jackson, is this the surprise you prepared for me?!”It was an unpleasant surprise! He was ashamed. How was he going to face the others in the future?Hanson had predicted his father’s reaction and simply smiled. “Dad, don’t you trust me?”Frank was stunned and did not know how to respond. He was unsure if inviting that woman was the right decision.Auto racing required proper etiquette and skill. Frank was skeptical that the woman could even drive a car, let alone a race car.Hanson let out a sigh.
Frank closed his eyes and calmed down. He should have faith in his son.He had no choice but to nod. “Let’s go. I hope you’re not lying to me.”His tone was one of helplessness. Hanson noticed Frank’s disappointment. He had already accepted their loss today.Hanson smiled but said nothing. He simply walked back with Frank.They sat down once they returned to their seats. Frank was not in a good mood, so he did not speak the whole time. However, he did not show it on his face.Hanson ignored Frank and continued chatting with Ivanka and the others. As usual, the four of them chatted happily. However, because Frank was nearby, they did not go overboard.As time passed, a black Rolls-Royce came to a slow stop, and Ivan quickly exited the vehicle. When he saw the crowd, he looked at the person getting out on the other side and smiled. “There are quite a lot of people today.”Michael frowned slightly in discomfort. He despised such a gathering.Ivan, on the other hand, was far too bo
“Oh, God! This is exciting! They rarely show up on the same occasion. They are both exceptional men, but they are rivals. I wasn’t expecting to see a show here!”Many people were surprised and could not stop talking about it.“Them being here only shows how important this race is.”“That’s for certain! The auto race is not the focus, but the project later.”Everyone kept talking.Michael and the others could not hear what they were talking about. Michael gave Jonah an uninterested look. He felt strangely relieved when he realized Jonah was alone.“I’m surprised to see you here, Mr. Sadler.”“How could I not come if you’re here?” Jonah had an easy-going smile.Michael looked indifferent and did not intend to reply.Many people were staring at them, waiting for an opportunity to fawn over them. Some even wanted them to sit next to them.Everyone, however, had a seat. These seats had long been labeled by the organizer.Ivan looked around and pointed casually. “Let’s go over the
