Samuel, Mindy, and the executives stood in the lobby. Their conversation left the receptionists and some passing employees utterly flabbergasted.

“Michael and Chiara are finally getting engaged?”

“Yes! It’s happening on the tenth of next month.”

This time, Ivanka would be completely out of the picture!

“Alright, alright. I need to go back and prepare the invitations,” Samuel said contentedly.

The executives quickly agreed. “Sure, go ahead. Feel free to ask if you need any help.”

“Hahaha, okay,” Samuel said and left. His down-to-earth attitude shocked many people today.

As soon as they departed, the company erupted into a commotion!

The receptionists spread the news throughout the entire company.

Barkworth’s Group was not the only one aware of this matter.

...

Time was passing quickly, and soon, it was already the end of the workday.

Ivanka held her bag as she walked towards the exit. Unexpectedly, she spotted a familiar figure. Jonah was dressed in an exquisite blue suit.

    “Seriously?! That’s crazy! What charm does Ivanka have?!”“Charm? Go get a gender transformation surgery, then you’ll know. They say opposites attract, so why don’t you try it?”“Screw you!”While everyone was discussing fervently, Jonah opened the passenger door for Ivanka. She immediately took her seat. She still held the bouquet of roses in her hands.Jonah chuckled. “Should we put the flowers in the back first?”Ivanka silently handed the flowers to him. She just wanted to get into the car quickly and leave this place. Now, she looked like she wanted to hold on to the flowers. Gosh!Jonah looked at her knowingly. He chuckled as she blushed.She refused to look at him. She promptly shut the door and looked away.Jonah put the flower in the backseat and went to the driver’s seat.Ivanka turned to the window. At that moment, she felt really awkward.Jonah’s smile widened. “Are you angry?”Ivanka pursed her lips. “No.”Jonah chuckled again and asked, “What do you want to ea

    Jonah paused before softly speaking. “Michael will be engaged next month.”He watched Ivanka closely. Ivanka froze for a moment, then smiled, “Finally, I understand why people in the office are looking at me that way today.”Her gaze carried a tinge of mockery, while her voice remained casual. There was no trace of sadness.He smiled. “So, you’re not upset?”“Why should I be upset?” She remained composed and seemingly unaffected.Knowing that this news did not harm her, she hurried. Belle would probably reach out to her soon.Jonah chuckled lightly. “It looks like you’ve truly moved on. Since you have, why not consider me?”“... Mr. Sadler.”“Call me Jonah.”Ivanka said nothing more.They had not become that close yet.Observing her nonchalant demeanor, Jonah decided not to dwell on the topic. He chuckled and said, “How’s the collaboration talks between Sadler’s Group and Lane’s Group going?”“They’re trying to figure out how to make you agree to work with someone else,” sh

    Puzzled, Ivanka stared at Jonah.Jonah was no longer smiling. He looked at her seriously. “Iv, I’ve always meant it whenever I bring this up to you. But you never once believed me. It’s true that you’re the only woman who won my heart.”His eyes were loving and focused.Ivanka looked calm. She gradually pulled her arm out of his grasp and looked at him as she said, “Jonah, it’s not that I did not believe every word you said. Even if everything that you said is true, I won’t ever be with you.”A hint of sorrow darted across Jonah’s eyes. He sighed resignedly. Within an instant, he resumed his relaxed demeanor and chuckled. “It seems that my time hasn’t come. Go back now and rest early tonight.”He let go of her hand without hesitation and in a carefree fashion. Ivanka was speechless.She hesitated. Then, she said, “Jonah, stop wasting your energy on me. I’ve been through a failed marriage and don’t want to spend any energy in a relationship anymore. You’re not destined to be my hu

    Ivanka was frustrated. Only Michael would behave so violently! “Why is he here again?!” Ivanka walked to the entrance and saw that it was truly Michael. She inhaled sharply and begrudgingly opened the door. “If he continues banging the door like this, my neighbors won’t be able to sleep!” Michael’s expression grew darker when Ivanka glared at him in frigid disgust. He entered her house. Ivanka immediately closed the door and turned to him. “Are you crazy?!” Michael shot her a razor-blade glance and said in a bone-chilling voice, “Ivanka, you think you’re so great, huh?!” Ivanka frowned. The next moment, she recalled the headlines on Twitter. She grinned. “Mr. Barkworth, am I being too narcissistic? Did you read the news about Jonah courting me? Is that why you’re here?” Michael wished he could skin her alive. He grabbed her wrist. “I warned you to stay away from him!” Ivanka flung her hand away from Michael’s grasp. She chuckled in a manic rage. “Who do you think yo

    Michael’s expression blanched. He immediately released her while retreating. It had been effective. Ivanka’s gaze was still. “I’ll kick him in the nuts if he holds me like this again!” Ivanka snorted. “In the past, I was blinded and had trusted the trio. My father was too kind to know he had let three hungry wolves into our house. When I see you, it only reminds me of the stupid things that I’ve done. Michael, I never really wanted to hate you. After all, I chose it. However, it doesn’t mean you’ll forever remain blameless in my eyes! “The surveillance cameras and microphones inside my house have recorded everything tonight. If you don’t want to let Chiara know that you’re still bothering me, please leave. Since you’re about to marry her, you should be a responsible husband. Didn’t you say she’s your savior, after all?” Ivanka’s gaze was mocking. If not for her plans involving Chiara, Ivanka thought the two should get together. With that, the duo would stay in love and stop bot

    Michael coldly stared at Ivanka. “I never wanted to force you into a corner. It’s you who failed to appreciate my kindness. Don’t blame me for being harsh to you in the future!” Ivanka smiled sarcastically. “Do whatever you want.” After all, Michael would eventually be Chiara’s husband. By then, Chiara would use Michael’s power against Ivanka in the future. It was no different than Michael moving against her.Ivanka ignored him. Her gaze only grew more sardonic. Michael faltered beneath Ivanka’s piercing gaze. He usually scorned her. This time, he was at a loss for words. He looked away and left her house. For a moment, Ivanka was a little hesitant upon staring at the closed door. She felt as if she had a dream, or a hallucination. She leaned against the wall and felt like she was about to collapse. Ivanka inhaled deeply. She just had a refreshing shower. After Michael left, she felt exhausted over again. She slumped onto the bed. She felt muddled throughout that night

    Theodore fell speechless. Ivanka was quick to deflect accountability. After all, Theodore and his group had long claimed Serene was more capable than Ivanka by multiple folds. Hence, if Serene failed, it was only normal for Ivanka to fail the task as well. Theodore seethed in fury. In the end, he held back his anger and nodded. “It’s okay as long as you give your best.” Ivanka nodded with a smile. “Okay.” With that, the meeting ended. Next, Ivanka headed to Sadler’s Group with a young, beautiful, and mature lady. At that moment, Serene drove the car while Ivanka sat in the passenger’s seat. Serene turned around and cast a glance at Ivanka. She faked a smile and said, “Ms. Lane, thank you for mediating between us.” Ivanka nodded. “I’m just doing my job. It’s all up to you whether you succeed.” Serene nodded in resignation. “Got it. I’ll do my best.” Serene knew that Ivanka would always have her guard up around her. Thus, Serene gave up on giving her any advice. M

    Serene fell speechless. Judging from Jonah’s tone alone, she knew her presence was unnecessary. Jonah only had his eyes on Ivanka. He did not bother to glance at Serene. Serene had self-awareness. Even though she did not feel any sense of oppression surrounding Jonah, her breathing hitched. Before she came, she was rather confident of herself. At that moment, her knees shook in his regal presence. Meanwhile, Ivanka nodded and sat opposite him. Serene was stupefied. The duo got along very naturally. Serene sat beside Ivanka awkwardly. She looked at Jonah and said respectfully, “Hi, Mr. Sadler.” Jonah glanced at her coldly and nodded. After that, he turned to Ivanka. “What do you want for lunch? Do you want to have lunch together?” Ivanka fell speechless. Serene thought. “He’s ignoring me. Didn’t he notice me sitting right beside Ivanka?!” Ivanka’s lips twitched. “Let’s talk business first.” Jonah raised one of his eyebrows as he turned to Serene. “If Ivanka

    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.
