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
