Chapter 277 A Familiar Figure

Author: Deer
Theodore sounded frustrated. He was driving at a glacial pace.

Meanwhile, Michael was in no hurry to open the back seat door after getting out of the car. Chiara had a complicated expression on her face. She inhaled deeply and pushed open the door. She then stretched her leg.

Michael immediately stopped her. “Let’s wait for a while.”

Chiara looked crestfallen. She subconsciously looked at the man in disbelief. “Is it because I was almost... so you don’t like me anymore?” she asked, her voice trembling.

Her face turned pale. She looked at Michael with teary eyes.

Michael frowned slightly. “Don’t overthink it.”

Chiara’s eyes flickered and her tears fell. “I know… I’m not worthy of you anymore, but that day, they didn’t…”

She was unable to complete her sentence.

Michael frowned. “I don’t dislike you. I stayed away from you because I was worried that being close to you would trigger bad memories of that day.

Chiara looked surprised. She suddenly raised her head and asked hopefully

    However, when she got out of the car, instead of walking toward Michael, she looked behind her. Her beautiful brows were slightly knitted together. Michael exited his vehicle as well, sensing that something was wrong.He found out that the car behind her was going too fast, not hers. It hit her car, and then, because of inertia, her car hit his.The third car’s owner had exited his vehicle. He was a greasy middle-aged man with a big belly. His brewing rage vanished when he saw Ivanka, a beautiful woman. He gave her a soft smile and said, “If a young, pretty girl like you was driving, it’s okay that you hit the brakes so quickly.”Ivanka frowned. “So, I’m to blame for you running into the back of my car?”“You clearly hit the car in front of you first. And then you hit mine while trying to flee. Look at the car in front of you and at mine. Both are very expensive. Even if you sell your BMW, you won’t have enough money to compensate us. Why don’t you accompany me on a date? I will pa

    Hanson was a very good friend of hers. It was only right for her to help him. So, she answered, “Sure. You want to see me now?”“Yes, I’m on my way. I thought I’d send you the documents to your office and give you an account of the story.”Michael and Sterling were still there at the moment. Michael had called to arrange for someone to pick him up.Sterling was so intent on buttering up on Michael that he did not dare to leave. However, it was obvious that Michael had lost his patience with him. He looked at him and said, “You are annoying me.”Sterling’s expression changed in an instant. He was enraged the next second.He had groveled to him just now. He could not believe Michael would talk to him like that. He thought. “Being rich doesn’t give him the right to talk to me like that!”But Sterling could not say it out loud, so he could only keep it in his thoughts. He hurriedly said apologetically, “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry, Mr. Barkworth. I will shut up right away!”For a moment

    She thought. “Michael is a lunatic. I don’t want to be in the same place as a man who is so obsessed!”She knew that Michael did not want her to spend too much time with Jonah because Rosie and Jay held her in high regard. If she fell in love with Jonah, she had the potential to turn against Barkworth’s Group. Even if she did that, Rosie and Jay might still let her off the hook. It could be disastrous for Barkworth’s Group. Michael would never let that happen.Even if Michael had not warned her, she was aware of it. She would never go against Barkworth’s Group for the sake of Rosie and Jay.Michael’s expression remained frigid. As they were on the streets, he did not want to argue with her. He also had more pressing matters to attend to at the time. But when Michael saw the car stop, he could clearly see who was driving!Michael scowled angrily!How had he missed the fact that Ivanka could attract so many men?Ivanka did not look at Michael. After she got in the car, she said,

    Hanson’s eyes flickered with disappointment. Sandy…As Sandy’s friend, he was more than willing to let her put her skills to use in this lawsuit. However, he would have one less reason to spend time with Ivanka.He looked at her with mixed emotions. Ivanka pretended to be unaware of what was on his mind. She simply smiled and said, “You are my friend. I won’t lie to you. I wouldn’t have suggested it unless I was certain. So, how about you give Sandy a chance to put her skills into practice?”Hanson let out a sigh and nodded. “All right.”Ivanka put the papers back in the envelope and said nonchalantly, “Okay, then. Pass these documents to Sandy later, or send her an electronic version. I will go into the details with her by then.”Hanson pursed his lips. He stared at Ivanka and said, “Iv, Jonah is a dangerous man.”Ivanka sneered. “I never wanted to do anything with him. He just keeps dragging me into his vengeance plan against Barkworth’s Group. Don’t worry. I know what to do.”

    Ivanka closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair. She finally brought herself to say, “Okay.”“I’ll have to avoid Hanson from now on. He’s still an important friend of mine, but I don’t want him to continue spending so much time with me. This will only lead to more hope and consequent disappointment for him.” She thought. Hanson’s profound eyes shone with an unreadable emotion as he slowly smiled. “Thank you, Iv,” he said softly as he looked at her.Ivanka’s eyes twitched. She paused for a moment before saying gently, “Take me to the law firm.”“Okay.”Hanson obeyed her without question, but this only served to complicate her feelings. Would Ivanka have had to go through so much heartbreak if she had met Hanson first? Would she have had to deal with a husband who was constantly cold to her? Would she be able to live a stable and peaceful life with him?What a shame. Humans were fortune’s fools. She was fated to follow this path and feel these emotions.The journey was si

    “You’re here with me. Of course, I’m confident! I’ve asked him to set up a meeting time for us. I’d like to solve Mr. Lee’s case as well. I’ll need your help with that.” “Alright.”After Ivanka and Sandy finished their breakfast, Ivanka cleaned up the kitchen and changed before leaving. Sandy drove steadily. Her gaze was piqued with interest. “I was furious when Mr. Lee deceived me. Even if we get a few hundred million dollars back as compensation for him, I still don’t think it’s worth it!”Ivanka smiled. “Mr. Lee is just your average bad guy. Before this, I wanted to help you turn the tides, but he might scheme against you in the future. We’ll let him lose a little money. You can help him get the rest of the money back from his client as compensation to make it up for him.”Sandy immediately smiled and nodded. “Hahaha! He’ll want to cry when he finds out how much he’ll lose later! Even if we can’t hurt him, we can make him uncomfortable.” Ivanka chuckled and said nothing els

    At that moment, they finally caught sight of her name tag in front!When they saw the two words, they jumped out of their skins!Ivanka Lane!How could it be her?!Sterling and his lawyer were completely stunned!Benjamin, who was sitting next to Ivanka, could not help but laugh at the moment.He felt so good!Sterling snapped out of his daze, and his composure had long fallen apart.He glared at Benjamin. Even if he said nothing, his angry gaze already expressed himself!He seemed to be saying, “Benjamin Lee, didn’t you say that your relationship with Ivanka is sour? Didn’t you say Ivanka didn’t accept your case? Why is Ivanka your lawyer now?”At that moment, Sterling continued cursing Benjamin in his heart.Benjamin’s eyes crinkled up because he felt happy.He chuckled as he looked at Ivanka. “Ms. Lane, thank you very much. If not for you, I couldn’t possibly be able to hold my head up high!”Ivanka just pursed her lips. “It’s my duty.”Benjamin was speechless.Screw

    Everyone’s eyes immediately widened.The case had just been presented, so they knew the project was only worth four hundred million dollars.Was it four billion dollars if the case required ten times the loss for compensation?Benjamin widened his eyes and looked at Ivanka in disbelief.Did she just ask for such a huge amount of compensation?!Would this really work?He was instantly heartbroken! If he had known Ivanka was close to Sandy, he would not have bothered Sandy, and the four billion dollars would have been his directly, right?Sandy was just as shocked, and her eyes, too, were suddenly wide with wonder. Darn! Ivanka was so impressive!Meanwhile, Sterling’s face turned blue after hearing what Ivanka said!Similarly, if it were another lawyer, they might laugh with contempt. But who was she? She was the freaking Ivanka Lane! She was Ivanka Lane!Ivanka began her narration while everyone was still in shock. The clarity of her speech left no room for the other party to

    Egbert stormed off in fury, but Sandy’s rage had not cooled in the slightest. She even lashed out at Ivan. “You shouldn’t have stopped me just now! If I’d given him a good scolding, or even a beating, maybe it would’ve finally knocked some sense into him. Otherwise, he’ll keep coming back. He’s always trying to use me for his own purposes!”She was so angry she was practically grinding her teeth. Ivan pressed his lips together and let out a long sigh. “With the way you looked like you were ready to kill someone, what did you expect me to do? Just stand there and watch you commit murder?”He was really worried when he saw how Sandy was losing control. “What’s the point of that old b*stard still being alive anyway?” Sandy said coldly. If she could really get rid of that old man, she would do it so she could avenge her mother and let go of that grudge she had been holding on.Ivan shook his head and said in a low voice, “Then think about it, how hard did you work to get to where yo

    Sandy exploded. “Eighty million? Why don’t you go rob a bank? Or better yet, see if that wrinkled old face of yours is worth anything as collateral!”Sandy was fuming.Egbert had not expected Sandy to be so vulgar. He turned back, enraged.His black eyes shot daggers like he could rip her apart on the spot. Sandy did not flinch. Instead, she lifted her chin and gave him a cold, mocking smile. “What? Are you so mad that you’re thinking about hitting me? Do you want me to remind you of the law? We have no legal ties anymore. If you so much as touch me, that’s assault. And let’s not forget, you barged into my workplace to cause a scene.”“Sandy, I don’t know what kind of twisted morals your birth mother and adoptive mother taught you, but just look at yourself now! Do you even resemble a proper human being?”Egbert was extremely disappointed in Sandy. The one thing Sandy hated most was when people brought up her birth mother and adoptive mother. Those two women were the most import

    Egbert snapped at Sandy coldly. His gaze was pressing.However, that had no effect on Sandy. Her lips even curled into a mocking smile as she said, “I’m not one of your McNeil pets. That look, your words, they cannot intimidate me at all.”At the mention of “pets,” Egbert was so furious that he slammed his cane against the floor with a loud crack. “Listen to yourself! Is that any way for a lawyer to speak? Do you even understand the meaning of respect, decency, and manners? Is that how your mother raised you?”Sandy had been mean and harsh on purpose to kill whatever sliver of hope he held onto.Just as she wished, he was angered.Watching him lose his composure, Sandy even felt a flicker of satisfaction rise within her. Her mother and herself were thrown out and lived a tough life while her father stood by uselessly. Who else was to blame, if not this old man standing before her?“My mother raised me to be a decent person. She taught me never to push away what’s rightfully mine,

    Thomas stated his purpose.Sandy’s reaction, however, was full of repulsion. She frowned. Even her tone was curt. “Uncle, I made it very clear about seeing him the last time we spoke. He never once considered me part of the McNeil family. If it weren’t for my mother taking me in, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Now that I’ve grown up and suddenly seem useful, he wants to claim me back? I was abandoned by the McNeil family the moment I was born. I’m not stupid enough to become a pawn for your family!”Sandy was furious.She had always treated Thomas with a certain courtesy, but at the moment, that line had clearly been crossed.Thomas, though only the messenger, could feel the weight of her resentment. “It may not be as bad as you think. If you won’t go, Dad will come find you himself.”That was the truth. Yet Sandy did not spare the old man a shred of respect. She scoffed. “He might be your dad, your head of the family, but he’s nothing to me. From the moment I was abandoned, th

    Sandy was really surprised to see Ivanka. “When did you get back?”“Today,” Ivanka answered honestly.“You have quite a packed schedule for just one day.” Sandy teased her.When they had planned to take down Coco last time, Ivanka was not around. Then Michael returned. From what Sandy could tell, they were always either together or closely following each other.Ivanka did not respond to her teasing. “I’ll only be here for a day or two, then I would have to leave again.”Sandy was speechless. She rolled her eyes at Ivanka. “Are you going to become a full-time jet setter?”“She can’t help it,” Anna answered for Ivanka. Just as she finished saying that, Anna’s phone rang. It was another case to follow up on. She had to step away to take the call.Only Ivanka and Sandy remained in the office. “You look exhausted. If you keep going like this, I’m worried you’ll wear yourself out!” Sandy shook her head and expressed her concern for Ivanka. Ivanka chuckled. “I wouldn’t go that fa

    When she heard what Anna said, Ivanka immediately teased. “Why, can’t I even come to the firm?”“Well, of course, you can come. You are an important partner; why can’t you come?” Anna laughed and looked at Ivanka, annoyed. Immediately after, she made a cup of tea for Ivanka.The tea was also of fine quality. She had bought it.Ivanka also remembered how she, Anna, and Sandy, the three of them, used to work hard together in the firm after she divorced Michael. Originally, she wanted to live on her own. However, one thing happened after another, and her plans got delayed. “I don’t see Sandy. Has she gone to handle cases?” Ivanka sipped a mouthful of tea, and immediately after, she asked Anna about Sandy’s whereabouts.Anna told Ivanka truthfully. “Sandy recently took over a very tricky case. She wants to make a not-guilty defense for that person. But the father of the deceased is the Groethe family, a rather prestigious family in Bostone. How could a commoner fight with a rich ki

    But as time went on, things happened one after another. While they were in contact with each other, she also slowly understood Jonah’s personality.The most important thing was that Jonah was also honest with her later on.When Jonah mentioned this again, Ivanka could not help but scrutinize Jonah again.He was starting to become unhinged!“Jonah, you need to stabilize your emotions. Sometimes, when you feel impatient, you should just close your eyes and take a good rest. You should not have such emotions.”Ivanka spoke solemnly toward Jonah and advised him. When he saw Ivanka’s serious expression, Jonah instantly also realized that he had lost himself.Ivanka was not like Chiara, who could accept him losing control. If he lost control in front of Ivanka, it would affect Ivanka’s mood. That would make him courting death too! This would put a halt to all his opportunities!Jonah also realized this problem. He was very distressed. He could not even explain why his emotions had

    When Ivanka said this, she pressed her hand on Jonah’s shoulder. There was no other meaning, she wanted Jonah to calm down.But this instead gave Jonah an opportunity. He grabbed Ivanka’s wrist. Then he tugged forward forcefully… Ivanka was caught off guard, and her whole body fell on top of him.He then took advantage of the situation and held Ivanka in his arms.The faint scent entered his nose, Jonah was intoxicated for a moment.But at that moment, he felt like he was waking up from a dream.Ivanka could not be so intimate with him. The sensations of touch and warmth in front of him were so real again. It was not an illusion, it was his compulsion!After realizing this, Jonah hurriedly pushed Ivanka away. He even more quickly apologized to Ivanka. “Iv, I’m sorry. I lost control. I didn’t mean to…”“I know.”Ivanka uttered softly, but her tone was cold.She knew. Neither did she blame him. But why was she using that tone, with that look on her face?“No, Iv. you’re blami

    “Jonah, I don’t like you. I told you, I only see you as a friend. When I’m unwilling to do something, no amount of moral coercion would work on me.”Ivanka spoke up bluntly. She did not want Jonah to cling to something impossible.Jonah was silent.This was where Jonah and Michael were different.“Look, you still have so many things to do. By the time you remember me, we have already missed the best time. This time when you leave, did Michael go with you?” Jonah raised his eyes to meet Ivanka’s. He wanted to hear Ivanka’s answer from her mouth.Ivanka did not reply. But the look in her eyes already said it all.Her silence confirmed it all.Jonah felt that his heart grow incredibly heavy at the moment. He had a crazy thought: Was it true that if Michael died, Ivanka would be able to focus all her attention on him?However, he was an invalid and did not even have a chance to get close!“The way you treat Michael and the way you treat me has always been so different.
