[I’m sorry that you have to see this announcement. But I decided to post this after some deep thought. Today, I’ll clarify some things for you. [I believe that many people are paying attention to the issues between my grandson and Ms. Lane. You probably think that they were so close but wonder why they would suddenly divorce. Was their relationship fake? [Wrong, their relationship was real, and the Barkworth family would never do anything hypocritical]Disdain flashed across Ivanka’s eyes as she read up to this point.Hypocritical?Ha!She continued reading.[However, something has given the Barkworth family a new perception of Ms. Lane. I think everyone is aware of the reason the two of them were together in the past. There were rumors because of that incident. At that time, we believed that no matter what happened, Michael should bear the responsibility as a man. Therefore, the Barkworth family and Lane family immediately held a wedding. We initially thought it was a harmoni
Ivanka’s eyes were full of hostility. “Forget it?”How could she just forget it?Did they really think that she would keep her grievances to herself when it comes to this?“Ivanka, are you planning to strike back?” Sandy suddenly became a little excited.Ivanka did not reply. Instead, she continued reading.[Now that I’ve made it to this point, I guess all of you have finally understood. Ms. Lane attended Mr. Morris’ birthday party with Mr. Sadler and announced in front of everyone that she would divorce my grandson. This dealt a huge blow to Barkworth’s Group.[The court stood on Mr. Sadler’s side without hesitation, which caused Barkworth’s Group to suffer a great loss. These two incidents are sufficient for all of you to discover Ms. Lane’s purpose. If she doesn’t get what she wants, she’ll destroy it out of anger.]The tweet ended here, and the comments below the tweet were filled with insults toward Ivanka.However, some people continued to defend Ivanka, and both sides we
Sandy held her phone, and she was clearly puzzled. However, before Ivanka could reply, Sandy suddenly realized that Ivanka was trending on Twitter once again. She could not help but say, “Bestie, you’re trending on Twitter with Jonah, and you’re at the top of the trending list!”Ivanka’s eyelashes trembled, and she immediately clicked on it.A Fan of Jonah and Ivanka: Guys, what do you think about Ivanka and Jonah being together? I have a good feeling about them. Both of them are excellent and outstanding! Besides, Jonah is handsome, and Ivanka is gorgeous. They’re a perfect fit for each other!There were countless comments at the bottom. Ivanka Is My Muse: I agree! I fully support them! Since Mr. Barkworth isn’t suitable, Ivanka is good enough for this outstanding man. After all, Mr. Sadler has never posted for any women on Twitter! But he made it so obvious this time. He says that Ivanka is the light of his life! She is such an important presence to him! Get together! Get togeth
“Ivanka, was I… pressuring you?”Ivanka pursed her lips. “This has nothing to do with you. I still have things to face. But I hope you won’t ask me to be with Hanson again. Just try to let him know my thoughts and advise him to give up.”Sandy sighed helplessly. “When you married Michael, I saw your true affections for him, so I advised Hanson more than once and asked him to give up, but he…” Sandy did not want to continue talking about it because she knew that Ivanka understood as well.Ivanka sighed. “We’ll talk about it later.”Sandy was powerless. “Okay.”Since she could not get them together now, she would just give up.However, Sandy hesitated for a while before she said to Ivanka, “How are you going to fight back? The Barkworth family is truly shameless.”Ivanka pursed her lips, and her eyes were full of contempt. She never expected this incident to happen. Her grandfather… She just chuckled.“Ivanka, what are you laughing at?”“Nothing, I won’t rush to fight back f
[Breaking! Mr. Barkworth Accompanies Ms. Lane For a Night]The title was slightly exaggerated, and it left a huge room for people to speculate, but the title’s implication was not true.Chiara had been admitted to the hospital again.Ivanka narrowed her eyes, and she had a feeling that Chiara’s admission to the hospital might not be as simple as it seemed on the surface.Naturally, she was not referring to Chiara’s current admission. The time that she was admitted to the hospital in a vegetative state had to be fake… Ivanka smiled faintly. This was a good tactic, but what if this act was revealed one day?When she did not know all those things about her father, she did not mind Chiara’s childish tricks.Chiara’s tricks were Chiara’s business. Similarly, not being able to be with Michael was also her business. These two matters were not equivalent to each other, and she would not really blame Chiara for it. She was the one who had not been capable enough.Now, however, she coul
Ivanka frowned. She clearly did not want to get into the car, but Jonah stared at her while he spoke with a calm expression, “Ivanka, I probably haven’t told you about many things in detail. Can you get into the car?”Ivanka pursed her lips. She got into the car after she thought about cutting ties with him.Jonah gradually broke into a smile. He closed the door for her before he got into the driver’s seat.He did not rush to drive. After he closed the door, he looked at her. When he saw Ivanka looking at him as well, he smiled and said, “Regarding what happened yesterday, everyone thinks that I purposely posted it to make Michael angry. But Ivanka, I tweeted those words from the bottom of my heart.”Ivanka sneered, and she clearly did not believe him. “Mr. Sadler, I’m Michael’s ex-wife. I was married, and I’m not a naive young girl.”“I know,” Jonah answered seriously. This time, his usual casual and lazy demeanor was gone.Ivanka pursed her lips as if she was waiting for him to
Ivanka frowned, but Jonah’s heart trembled slightly. She did hold his arm at the banquet previously, but… he was wearing a suit at the time, so they did not directly touch.When he felt the woman’s soft and tender wrist, he felt an electric current flowing through his body.He never had contact with any woman, but his heart pounded faster right then.Ivanka did not seem happy about this. “Mr. Sadler…”She did not finish the sentence, but the indication was obvious.Jonah did not let go of her wrist, but he looked away. He was actually flustered, and he dared not look into her eyes. “Let me give you a ride.”As he spoke, he let go of her wrist and locked the door. He then started the engine and drove away.The whole process seemed smooth, but only he knew how stiff his body was.Ivanka did not notice any difference, and she softly said, “Is your act of picking me up going to trend on Twitter again, Mr. Sadler?”“No,” Jonah answered without hesitation.Ivanka glanced at him i
She stared at Ivanka and spoke in a caring way, “It’s not true, so just let them say whatever they want. Every famous person gets criticized somehow.”Confusion flashed in Ivanka’s eyes before she instantly recalled what happened yesterday. She chuckled. “I don’t mind it.”“But you’re…” Something was wrong with her reaction, and Suki could tell. She stared at Ivanka and tried not to miss any emotion on Ivanka’s face.Ivanka frowned slightly. “Jonah was waiting for me downstairs again today. It’s not good to go too far on certain things. I can’t offend him, and he keeps pestering me because he thinks this will help him take Barkworth’s Group down.”Suki could not help but burst into laughter. “I see.”Ivanka cast a glance at Suki, and she smiled faintly. “Bestie, have you ever considered something?”When Ivanka saw Suki’s mysterious look, she felt puzzled. “What?”“Exacting revenge on Michael!”Ivanka was bewildered.Her eyes were full of doubt, while Suki chuckled and said, “A
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
Michael remained resolute.Ivanka rolled her eyes. “Then stay stubborn. I’ll only fix it when you stop pushing me away.”After she was done speaking, she turned to leave.Michael followed.He even opened the passenger door and got in her car. He was determined to follow her.But Ivanka would not go easy on him.Once inside, she warned him coldly, “Not being able to speak is harder than you think. Follow if you want. Michael, are you sure about this?”Even after her warning, he kept staring straight ahead.She said nothing more and started the engine.Within half an hour, she arrived at Jonah’s mansion.Jonah came out to greet her personally. The moment Ivanka parked the car, Jonah immediately spotted Michael in the passenger seat.The sight of him stirred up bitterness in Jonah. Yet there was nothing he could do.Before Ivanka exited the car, she said to Michael, “Wait here.”Without glancing at him, she walked straight toward Jonah.Her attitude made Michael decide t
