Even so, Ivanka was not really keen on visiting Sadler’s Group. At that moment, she had already entered the building. The senior management of Sadler’s Group had taken several months to prepare the content for the upcoming meeting. However, Jonah canceled the meeting. He told them that the date of the meeting would be determined later. The senior managers had been stood up. Yet, none of them dared to question Jonah’s professional skills. They believed that he must have something more important to deal with, so they understood why the meeting was canceled. Still, they could not help but discuss it. Warren: Does Mr. Sadler have an important event to attend? Can’t the meeting be held today? Carlos: I’m not sure either. Mr. Sadler has always been punctual. I believe he has something more important to deal with. That’s why he made an exception this time. Lykov: Regardless, we can’t run away from this meeting, so just be prepared for it. The group fervently discussed the ca
After Jonah canceled the meeting, the senior managers started discussing the reason behind it. When they learned about the news of Ivanka’s arrival, their expressions turned dark. Originally, they had gathered inside the office to discuss one issue. However, they were discussing Ivanka and Jonah’s relationship at the moment. “It’s her again!” Mr. Warren’s expression darkened, and he thought. “She changes Mr. Sadler’s decision time and again! Her presence causes things to become so unpredictable, but he insists on getting together with her. If this continues, she might cause trouble to the company!” Ms. Zendaya’s expression turned sour, and an obvious hint of dissatisfaction crossed her face. “She obviously came for Mr. Sadler. If she succeeds in getting together with him, she will only complicate things at the company. Think about it! How will it sound if Mr. Sadler gets together with a woman Michael Barkworth doesn’t want anymore?!” “No way! We have to stop her from seducing
Ms. Theresa had totally forgotten about staying out of sight. When she was greeted by the sight before her, she looked terrified. She was even standing at the doorway like an eyesore, and her hand froze in mid-air. Perhaps Ms. Theresa was breathing a little too quickly, but Ivanka gradually turned her head around, and Jonah followed her sight. Ms. Theresa’s expression changed drastically. “I’m sorry, Mr. Sadler. I didn’t mean to overhear your conversation. I-I have something to tell you,” she quickly said. Jonah was in a good mood today, so he nonchalantly said, “Go back to your workstation first.” Ms. Theresa was a little surprised. Although Jonah was a friendly man, he handled things strictly and fairly. If Ms. Theresa had done this in the past, she would have been punished and given a lot of work! However, Jonah let her go just like that. And Jonah was the kind of person who would get even with someone at a later date if he did not do so today. Ms. Theresa gratefully
Ivanka frowned. She turned around and looked at Jonah. Jonah sized her up. “Iv, sometimes, no matter what happens, you don’t always have to suffer alone. If you don’t want others to worry about you, you can lean on me. I’ll be your most faithful pillar of strength.” Jonah sounded serious and earnest. Ivanka’s calm facade shattered slightly. The next moment, Jonah drew closer to her and whispered, “Otherwise, who’s going to feed me if something happens to my sugar mommy?” Ivanka frowned again and thought. “This guy is crazy!” She quickly pulled her hand out of his grasp and left in a hurry after she said goodbye. Jonah did not go after her. He chuckled and slowly walked to his desk. Then, he looked at the bank card and picked up his phone. ...... At that moment, Evan was telling Michael his work schedule in his office. “Mr. Barkworth, you have a business dinner tonight. You made an appointment with Mr. Stanley beforehand.” Michael nodded and said nothing. Evan was a li
An unexpected chill pervaded the workplace. Evan failed to suppress a shudder from the cold.Others may not have realized it, but Michael knew well that Jonah had fallen for Ivanka!He never once missed a meeting and always kept his word. However, he was repeatedly making exceptions for Ivanka.He thought. “Very well, Jonah.”“See who owns that card.”Evan’s calm facade cracked a little. Because Jonah had brought the card up, it implied that he had granted permission for others to verify the card’s owner. He would only embarrass himself if it did not belong to Ivanka.Furthermore, if they could verify the owner, it would undoubtedly be Ivanka’s. Michael was making an unnecessary move.Evan replied respectfully, “Yes, Mr. Barkworth,” because he could say nothing more.Michael left the office after determining that he had no further instructions to give.Jonah was in a good mood today. He gave bonuses to the company’s employees and even gave them a half-day off.Barkworth’s Gro
”Has a date been set?” Ivanka appeared to be at ease.“Yes. Mr. Lee said that he had contacted them and that the court would be held the day after tomorrow. He’s wondering if you’re free that day. If you’re not available, he can postpone it.”“The day after tomorrow is fine.”She would be able to begin working at Lane’s Group once she had resolved all of these issues.Everything would fall into place.“Wow, you’re my lucky star! Iv, I love you so much!” Sandy said. She smooched the phone twice.“Stop,” Ivanka said with a smile. “Is there anything else?”“No. Have an early night.”“Okay.”Twitter was buzzing once more. Many people began to envy Ivanka.Angry Bird: I’m envious of Ivanka. Right after the divorce, she’s already found herself another caring suitor. He even went to great lengths to pursue her. He’s known as a playboy, but Mr. Sadler has never posted anything on Twitter for a woman.Iris’ Fangirl: That’s exactly my thought! Iris is fantastic and can easily win Mr.
“That won’t do,” Michael said firmly. “You won’t recover in such a short time.”“Well, I just need to have the dressing changed at home on a regular basis. You don’t have to worry about me. I’ll be fine. Mic, thank you.”Michael frowned slightly. “Why thank me?”“Thank you for caring about me. You make me feel warm, and I’m grateful to have met you.”Michael was stunned. Because of him, she went into a coma. This time, she was admitted to the hospital due to him and nearly went into a coma. In spite of it all, she was grateful to him.At that moment, Michael experienced a rollercoaster of complicated emotions. “Wait for me. I’m going to the hospital right now.”Chiara was ecstatic. She had not expected him to come.However, she hurriedly stopped him. “There’s nothing serious, Mic,” she said thoughtfully. “You don’t have to worry about me. You have so much work to do every day, so don’t concern yourself with me. Besides, I still have other people to take care of me. You don’t hav
He felt awkward whenever he came here because he had nothing to say to Chiara.Chiara smiled at Michael. “Mic, if you’re busy, you can leave first. I need to stay under observation tonight. If there are no problems, I’ll be discharged tomorrow.”“I’ll pick you up tomorrow,” said Michael calmly.Chiara was flattered. She looked surprised and said, “Mic, are you still angry because of what happened before? I acted impulsively that time. I’m sorry…”Michael sighed. “Forget about the past.”Chiara’s eyes flickered. Nonetheless, she smiled and nodded obediently, “Okay.”Michael sat in the chair by the bed’s edge. Chiara could tell he was uncomfortable. He wanted to leave.When he was about to speak, Chiara hurriedly said with a smile, “Mic, when I scrolled through Twitter today, I saw Mr. Sadler’s tweet. Have you seen it?”Michael’s expression darkened, and he said nothing.Chiara’s eyes glowed with jealousy. She still could not forget how Michael took the initiative to kiss Ivanka
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?”
