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
“He’s a flirt. Just ignore him.” Sandy rolled her eyes at Ivan and ignored him.Ivan’s expression immediately darkened. “F*ck!”If it were not for that matter, he would not be trying to please this tomboy.Ivanka could not help but chuckle. “You always speak rashly without any hesitation. There are many people here.”Michael looked over right away. She could not hide her noble demeanor, and Michael frowned when he noticed it.Even Jonah, who was sitting a few seats away, looked over. He was curious about Ivanka.Many people subconsciously glanced at Michael and Jonah but did not have the opportunity to speak with them. They were envious of Frank, who was left out. After some time had passed, it was finally time for the auto race to begin.Someone approached the center with a microphone, and everyone turned to look at him. The host smiled at everyone and bowed slightly.“Good day, everyone. I’m today’s host, Ciel. I’m grateful to everyone who came out to support our annual aut
“It’s possible. There is no harm in gaining experience.”“But… If she wants to gain experience, she could simply apply on her own behalf. Why does she want to represent Jackson’s Group?”“Is she the representative? Nobody has yet claimed her to be the representative. Maybe they are just friends.”Everyone started talking about her all of a sudden.Michael also looked at her and felt that something was wrong. Her appearance became increasingly familiar, but he continued to deny it.Ivan rose to his feet. His expression instantly darkened when he realized Michael was not looking at him. “F*ck! I’m about to stand in for you, yet you’re still being so ungrateful!”Right after he finished speaking, he suddenly saw Ivanka’s back. His expression changed. “F*ck! It’s her!”Michael turned to look at Ivan and frowned. “What are you on about?”Ivan sat down abruptly. His face was solemn. “I can’t beat her. When I saw her just now, she reminded me of someone I knew. Now that I’ve seen her
The two had acted weirdly and started whispering animatedly after they saw the woman suddenly get up.What happened? Was there something wrong with her?Jonah had no intention of taking a step forward and remained seated.After Ivanka stood according to the serial number, a figure appeared behind her. When Ivanka sensed a familiar presence, she turned but did not expect to see Michael. Her eyes were wide open in surprise. She thought. “Is he going to race?”Michael was staring at her as well. He exuded a powerful aura, and his cold eyes revealed no emotion.Ivanka’s eyes glowed with mockery, and she abruptly turned back. She wanted to use her phone at first but was afraid Michael would recognize it. She stood on the spot and did nothing.When she lowered her head, Michael noticed a tiny mole on the back of her earlobe. Michael’s eyes widened.He was taken aback.He thought. “It’s really her!”Ivanka could only feel a cold and sharp gaze behind her.She had the impression that
Ivanka was thrust into the spotlight. Everyone turned to look at her. She had just recently made it to the top five. Currently, they were shocked to find her in the lead! Michael had been staring at her car. He turned away as her car vanished from view.Ivanka!He closed his eyes to keep his cool.Ivan was watching the race just now. He was surprised to see Michael in this state. He thought. “What happened?”If the situation allowed, he would like to get up and ask him what had happened.Jonah frowned as he observed Michael’s emotions. He thought. “Who is the representative of Jackson’s Group? Why is Michael so emotional?”He found that woman familiar.Jonah pursed his lips and remained silent. The second batch arrived soon after.No one said anything, and each of them tried their best. Michael was the first of the second batch to enter and the first to cross the finish line. No one passed him, and he was significantly faster than the others.Ivan smiled. That was how Michae
Michael pursed his lips and took the initiative to apologize to Ivanka.Ever since they got back from Mirvania, Michael’s attitude toward her had toned down considerably compared to the past. Michael had indeed changed a lot.However, even though he changed, they could not live a honeymoon life like other couples and spouses.Ivanka corrected him. “Micheal, we can’t put it that way. No one expected this change. We came here on Grandma’s behalf with all our blessings. But we did not expect this wedding to go south. I’ll admit that my emotions were somewhat affected when I saw something like this.” “But, what’s the main issue? I think that I’m tired. I wish you wouldn’t pursue me so tightly. Let’s part while we are on good terms. I know that you know what that phrase means.”As she said that, Ivanka saw the flight attendant walk over.She waved toward the flight attendant, who then gently bent down and smiled at her nicely. “Hello ma’am, what can I do for you?” “Hello, can you c
Naturally, Ivanka and Michael could not get involved to clear the mess after that. It was almost time for them to return as well.“You’re leaving before I can thank you.” Candice took Ivanka’s hand. She was grateful from the bottom of her heart.“I originally came to attend the wedding, but I didn’t expect to witness it take such a turn. I’ll have to go back and explain to Grandma about it.” Ivanka said with a smile.Candice hurriedly nodded and smiled. She looked at Ivanka and said, “Ivanka, send my regards to Grandma. After things are settled over here, I will definitely go visit her.”Ivanka smiled. “Then it’s a deal.”“It’s a deal.”… On the airplane, Ivanka’s mood was down the entire time.Michael spoke to her several times and did not get any response. He frowned slightly when he saw that Ivanka was about to sleep. He directly pulled her hand.Ivanka immediately tried to pull her hand back but she was not as strong as him. She opened her eyes and looked at him unhappily
Just as he was about to say something else, a clear voice suddenly spoke.“I told them to play it. Is there a problem?”The crowd looked for the voice and saw Candice in a white dress. She looked serene and cool. It was a different kind of beauty.But this was not a wedding. It was obviously a funeral.Everyone looked at the heroine who was supposed to appear today. Shock crossed their eyes. It looked like the bride found out about their despicable deed. Immediately after, the bride said in a mocking voice once again, “Leonardo, how does it feel to lose your reputation? You experienced it before me. Do you like the wedding gift I gave you?”Candice looked at him. Her brow was calm and void of emotion.Leonardo was already extremely cranky. In a way, he was at the end of his rope. He looked at her incredulously. “What do you mean by that?!” Candice sneered. “I didn’t mean anything by that. Just letting everyone present witness and see clearly for themselves what mangy dogs d
At that moment, there was a crazy video rolling on the big screen. The video was unsightly. The man and woman on the bed were “wrestling” frantically with the woman’s coquettish voice calling out at the same time. Also, the facilities here were top notch and equipped with 3D surround sound. The guests had no idea what to do when they heard.Some of the sharp-eyed guests spotted the man and woman in the video in a single glance. “My goodness! Aren’t these two the groom, Leonardo, and the bride’s best friend Jennifer?!”The moment these words came out, it instantly set off an uproar!Jennifer was instantly dumbfounded when she saw the video! But the next moment she screamed in panic. “Turn it off! Turn it off! It’s not me at all!” It was just that, not only were her shouts futile, but she felt the contemptuous disdainful glances thrown at her from all sides!She could even feel like some of the men were undressing her with their eyes! She was screaming! “Turn it off! Turn
When she put on makeup, her features looked even more exquisite. She looked sharper. Michael’s gaze paused for a moment. Why had he not realized it in the past? Ivanka glanced at him and spoke directly. “I’m good to go. Let’s go there now?” “Yes.” Michael quickly collected his thoughts and rushed to the wedding venue with her. There were a lot of guests. Those who came were all the city’s upper-class people and everyone was open and relaxed. They were able to navigate their way in a situation like this and take the opportunity to meet more work partners.The groom also weaved in and out of the crowd. He was beaming and full of life.Jennifer was with him. The two of them were welcoming the guests together. Those who did not know any better might even think that the two of them were the new couple. Everyone arrived one after another. It was just that… Only the bride and Jarek were missing.The crowd could not help but be a little confused. Right among the murmuring
Of course, he was referring to Jarek, who was screaming on the ground. Ivanka and Michael’s eyes met across the distance. They exchanged a look with each other. In the end, they chose to stay out of it. What should have been done was done. No matter the outcome, it was Candice’s own choice. Michael took a step back and came to Ivanka’s side. “Thanks.” Candice stared at Ivanka and sincerely thanked her once again. She was not stupid, so naturally, she could see that her cousin greatly respected his wife’s opinion. On the other hand, Ivanka was highly self-sufficient.Not long after, the security guards came and took Jarek away. After Candice said goodbye to the two, she left in the opposite direction.Ivanka and Michael went back to their rooms together.On the way back, Ivanka’s brows remained furrowed, and Michael turned to look at her. “Still worried about her?”Ivanka’s eyes flashed, then she looked at Michael and said softly, “Do you think that she will be soft-h
Leonardo had always been a perfect boyfriend. He was so perfect and seemed to have been specially made for Candice. Candice used to find it suspicious. But she dared not probe further into her own suspicions. Since things had turned out like so, she had no choice but to confront it. Candice’s heart was filled with a slew of anxiousness and complications. Despite this, she held back her emotions. Without further hesitation, she lifted the blanket and got down from the bed. She walked to the room next door. Ivanka gave Michael a look so that he would bring Jarek along. Michael was amused. He believed Ivanka must have treated him as her bodyguard. She was the first woman who had dared to give him an order. Despite this, Michael did as he was told. After all, Ivanka was not supposed to get involved in all this in the first place. It was all about the Barkworth family’s business. When Michael confronted Jarek, Michael’s temper instantly turned foul. He glared at Jarek.
Bam! The room door was kicked open all of a sudden. Michael was the one who kicked the door open. The man in the formal suit had just taken off half of his pants when Michael entered the room. Michael exuded an air of standoffishness. The man looked dumbfounded. He did not know if he should put back on his pants or remove them. Ivanka was behind Michael. He did not let her enter the room. “On the count of three, put your pants on, or else—” Michael did not finish his sentence, but the man in the formal suit was so scared that his entire body trembled. The man knew that if he did not act as he was told, he would lose his d*ck. So the man quickly put his pants on comically. While Michael was entering the room, Ivanka followed him. She ignored the man in the formal suit and went to the bed where Candice was laying. They had made quite a commotion when they entered the room. Despite this, Candice laid motionlessly on the bed. Apparently, she had been drugged. It l
Jennifer took the man to Candice in the middle of the night. Things did not seem good. Ivanka knew something bad was going to befall Candice. She was about to follow them when someone behind her abruptly stopped her. Ivanka’s eyes flew wide open. Her scream got stuck in her throat. The man’s large hand had covered her mouth. At the same time, a familiar smell entered her nostrils, and she gave up trying to let go of herself from the man’s grasp. “Why are you giving up so easily?” As expected, Ivanka heard a familiar voice. She turned around and saw Michael’s playful smile. “I know it’s you, so there’s no need to keep trying to free myself,” answered Ivanka truthfully. “How did you know it’s me?” Her answer piqued his interest. Ivanka was about to explain when a thought struck her mind. After that, she kept quiet. “It’s a secret.” Before Michael could continue the topic, Ivanka decided to skip and end it by asking, “You saw everything. What do you think about it?”
