Chapter 486 A Voice Filled with Despair

Author: Deer
After a pause, Michael picked up the phone.

“What?” His voice was as cold as usual.

Samuel, who was at the end of the line, was taken aback. Then he frowned and said, “Brat, how dare you speak to me like this!”

Michael pursed his lips silently. He waited patiently.

After a brief pause, Samuel said in a deep voice, “We have sent out all the invitations. There’s only half a month till your engagement date. Take her out for dates during this time. After the engagement, the two of you should go on a trip for a month.”

Michael’s expression darkened. “Put my work aside for a month and travel with her for a month? What sort of idea is this?”

“You…!” Samuel inhaled to suppress his anger. Then he said solemnly, “You don’t like Lane’s Group’s proposal, so hand it to your dad. Your dad will take care of the work.”

Michael furrowed his brows. “I’m afraid that I might call off the engagement.”

Samuel thought he had misheard his grandson. After a pause, he finally confirmed that Michael had

    Ivanka was startled. She said in surprise, “Hanson, you finally woke up!”Hanson’s hands were weak. After he grabbed her, his arms turned into jelly and drooped weakly. But his eyes were filled with panic. He said with difficulty, “Don’t… go…”Ivanka quickly said, “I’m not leaving. I’ll call the doctors now!”Hearing that, Hanson heaved a sigh of relief.“... Alright.”Ivanka immediately pressed the call bell hanging from the headboard of his bed. Shortly after that, two doctors rushed over.They walked up to Hanson with surprise and astonishment in their eyes.“Mr. Jackson, you managed to regain consciousness so soon!”Hanson’s face was a little pale at the moment. He said nothing and only managed a faint smile.The two doctors immediately performed a full check-up on him with solemn expressions on their faces.Once everything was done, one of the doctors said happily, “It’s fortunate that you were able to wake up. But we’re still surprised to find that your condition is ste

    Sadness flashed in Ivanka’s eyes. She mumbled regretfully, “How could I upset him again? Ann, he… he’s my friend too.” Anna was startled. She eventually nodded wordlessly.Soon enough, the medical staff transferred Hanson to the normal VIP ward.Ivanka had already called Frank on the phone and informed him that Hanson had regained consciousness.After she and her friends pulled themselves together, they entered the ward.Due to Hanson’s health condition, the medical staff had to arrange everything from diet to treatment during his stay. Hence, his friends did not have to worry about all those things.Presently, the medical staff left the ward.Only four people remained in the room.Ivanka, Anna, and Sandy looked at the man in bed.The bandage on his face was still there, but he obviously seemed much better. His complexion was no longer sickly pale.There were multiple people in the room, but Ivanka seemed to be the only person Hanson could see.There was an expectant look i

    Ivanka inhaled and said softly, “It wasn’t a dream. I said it.”With that, she lowered her head and avoided Hanson’s affectionate gaze.Both Sandy and Anna were nervous. They knew that Ivanka was too sheepish to face him.But Hanson did not think that much. He thought Ivanka was shy, and the smile on his lips broadened.He refrained from staring at her with such a loving gaze. He feared that she could not take it.Anna gazed at Hanson with a longing look in her eyes. She found his eyes lingering on Ivanka instead. She inhaled and said thoughtfully, “Since… you’ve woken up, we’ll head out and leave the room to you two. We’ll be resting in the room next door. We have been looking after you all these days. It’s exhausting.”With that, Anna got up and grabbed Sandy’s hand.Sandy looked at Anna, who faked a smile. She felt terribly sorry for her. She could only pick up where Anna left off and smile at Hanson. “Yeah, we don’t want to be the third and fourth wheels. We’ll leave you two

    Ivanka froze.Hanson was still holding onto her and seemed reluctant to let go.“Iv.”Some unidentifiable emotion shone in Ivanka’s eyes as she slowly turned to meet his gaze.His eyes were filled with deep affection. “Iv, I get it. You’re just saying all this to wake me up, right? You wouldn’t really tell me the truth while I’m still recovering, would you?”Ivanka’s heart skipped a beat as she felt his intense gaze upon her. She composed herself and frowned. “Do you think I’m lying to you?”Hanson hesitated speechlessly as he continued to stare at her.Ivanka inwardly sighed. She recognized that Hanson was simply grappling with insecurity. His words were a test and a way to gauge if she genuinely meant what she said, or if it was just an attempt solely to wake him up.At that moment, though Hanson was awake, an undercurrent of hope surged within him. He wished what he said was not true, yet he could not shake the fear that it was.He feared that all his recent struggles mig

    Ivanka and Hanson looked toward the door simultaneously.Frank entered. Hanson greeted him with a smile, “Oh, Dad. You’re here.”Frank immediately noticed Hanson tightly holding Ivanka’s hand. He studied Hanson, who looked well and was in high spirits. His tense demeanor eased.He pretended not to see how affectionate the two looked. He simply gazed at Hanson and asked him in a softer tone than usual, “How are you feeling?”Hanson smiled and nodded. “I’m fine, Dad. No need to worry about me.”Frank nodded. On his way here, he had already talked to the doctor to make sure Hanson was fine, which made him feel relieved.However, the doctor had repeatedly emphasized that they must not stimulate Hanson’s brain. So, they had to go along with whatever he said.After all, Hanson was his son.So... he had to be okay with him being with Ivanka.As this thought crossed his mind, Hanson lifted Ivanka’s hand and smiled faintly at Frank.“Dad, Ivanka agreed to be my girlfriend.”Frank n

    James stopped talking. Jonah knew what he was trying to say.It would only make it harder for Jonah to pursue Ivanka if they continued to make Michael detest Chiara. After all, the two were married for several years and had some feelings for each other. There would be no hope for Jonah if they reconciled.James could see Jonah genuinely liked her. That was why he advised him so earnestly.However, just when he thought Jonah would agree, Jonah simply said, “Just focus on finding out more about this stuff from now on. Don’t worry about the rest.”James was surprised. “Mr. Sadler, you...”He was genuinely curious. This was a very straightforward method, especially considering Jonah’s years-long rivalry with Michael, where they had used all sorts of tactics. This time, it was aimed at Michael, so there was even more reason to go ahead with it.James was puzzled.Jonah casually glanced at him and said, “Because it would hurt Iv.”James looked bewildered. “Huh?”Jonah was no lon

    Ivanka sighed and shook her head slowly.“I’ve said it before, Hanson is like a brother to me. I’ve never considered him as a romantic partner. Besides, I used to have feelings for Michael, remember? Just because we divorced and I’ve moved on, it doesn’t mean... I can suddenly develop romantic feelings for someone I see as a brother.”Anna fell silent and sighed.Sandy seemed just as confused. “Anna, you like Hanson so much and are willing to do so much for him. Don’t you want to be with him?”Ivanka also glanced at Anna. She felt a great deal of admiration deep down.Truthfully, most people were selfish. The rare few were truly selfless.If they learned that other women were into him too, even if he did not reciprocate, they might feel a tad jealous. It was normal for women.But... Anna was not like that. She could make endless compromises for Hanson and go so far as to convince Ivanka to be with him... At that moment, a surge of complex emotions washed over Ivanka. But mor

    Ivanka paused. She gripped the steering wheel tightly. While silent, her eyes hid a storm within. She did not know how to respond to Sandy.Sandy sighed. “Should we head to your place first? I’m thinking of just crashing there for the day.”Ivanka pursed her lips silently and started the car engine.Traffic was heavy. Their trip took more than an hour longer than usual.By the time they got upstairs, Sandy seemed utterly exhausted. She sat down at the dining table and suggested, “Let’s order some takeout.”Ivanka remained composed. “Takeout isn’t the cleanest. I’ll rustle up something quick. Won’t take long.”With that, she changed her attire and ventured into the kitchen.Sandy rushed to lend a hand, but Ivanka calmly intervened, “No need to fuss. It’s just pasta. Just sit down.”Sandy did not listen to her. She started washing some vegetables. Soon, two plates of pasta were ready.Sandy savored each bite as she thoroughly enjoyed Ivanka’s cooking. She had not had much of

    “I deserve everything that’s happening to me now. But please don’t involve my family in my mistakes…” Ethan clasped his hands together and sincerely begged everyone to spare his family. Ivanka spared him a brief glance before turning off her cell phone. Although she was helping herself to some meat, Michael could see how she felt at the moment. “Why don’t we…” Michael asked for her opinion. But before he finished speaking, Ivanka interrupted him. “Now that he’s released a video like that, if I continue to hold him accountable, I’d be the one in the wrong.” Michael immediately replied, “I can step in—” “You? It’s better if you don’t. Everyone knows your relationship with me now.” Before Michael could finish his sentence, Ivanka immediately interrupted him. Although they were not officially remarried, Michael often went out with her. If anyone else were to see this, what difference did it make? Michael understood, but he really could not bear to see Ivanka getting bulli

    After they finished taking pictures, Ivanka greeted everyone politely. “After finishing your meal, go home early. It’s snowing, so drive safely. Bye…” Ivanka subconsciously reminded them. She belatedly realized she had been acting as though she was really an idol. Nonetheless, she treated them with sincerity. She had not done this for Michael’s sake. She did this mostly for the sake of the innocent, inexperienced young ladies who had yet entered the society. These young ladies raised their phones warily and asked, “Could we take a picture together?” They were so worried that their invitation would be turned down, so much so that when they talked, they almost bit the skin off their lips. Ivanka could not bear to reject them. It had not been easy for her to finally reach the private room. Michael teased her, “Our celebrity finally arrived. It looks like you’d best wear shades wherever you go in the future.” Ivanka glared at him and said gruffly, “Stop teasing me.” She paused

    After that, Ivanka politely bowed to the people who had been watching the drama in the main hall. She smiled at them. “Sorry for making a fool of ourselves. We encountered two tricksters who wanted to eat the meals for free by calling themselves the friends of the restaurant owners. It happened that I know the restaurant owner, so we easily uncovered their tricks.” By saying that, Ivanka was able to save the hot pot restaurant’s and the Barkworth family’s reputation. Her statement could result in a win-win situation, and the reason was acceptable. Ivanka continued, “Sorry for causing a stir and affecting your dining mood. I’ll foot the bill for everyone who dined on the first floor. How does that sound?” She was not trying to curry favor with the people or to show off her wealth. She simply did not want the people to hate the wealthy. One could not deny that this method worked. Right after Ivanka made her statement, the crowd thanked her. The commotion was no more than ju

    The young lady did not know what to do, so she turned to the restaurant manager. The restaurant manager nodded in approval. It was only then that the young lady left the restaurant. Before she left, she glared at Coco. Coco glared back at the young lady and pointed at her viciously. Coco shouted, “Come back! I’m not done with you yet! Who permitted you to leave now?!” The young lady’s body shivered a little. Still, she gnashed her teeth and left. Ivanka watched the young lady’s back as she drifted away. Ivanka stood in Coco’s way because she did not want Coco to chase after the young lady. Ivanka did not want to make a big deal out of the situation. Otherwise, the Barkworth family would be the one who suffered disgrace. After all, Coco stayed in the Barkworth family’s mansion, and everyone knew that Rosie doted on her. If it continued, Ivanka was worried about Rosie’s later years… Ivanka rubbed her temples in resignation. It looked like she needed to resolve the issue as

    The restaurant manager thought for a moment before saying, “Ms. Fishbourne, the restaurant has its own rules. Only three types of VIPs could reserve our private rooms while the rest could only enjoy normal seats. I have reasons to believe that our front desk told you the same when you called. We may not have empty seats now, but we’ll have one shortly after.” Coco recalled the situation and remembered that it was exactly like what the restaurant manager had mentioned. So what? Things have changed these days. Coco was no longer an ordinary woman. Her words could even move the earth. With that thought in her mind, Coco chuckled. She kept her tyranny and mockery to herself before locking her little finger with the young lady’s at the front desk. The young lady at the front desk looked down at her finger before glancing at the restaurant manager helplessly. The restaurant manager himself, too, was caught in trouble, so he could not do anything else to defend the young lady. C

    Little did Coco know that her behavior was no more like a clown in the crowd’s eyes. Ivanka felt disgusted. Although she could not put herself in Coco’s shoes, she could understand the thoughts of a sensitive person. Ivanka could sympathize with a sensitive and cowardly person. But she could not find herself sympathizing with Coco. Coco’s low self-esteem should not be the reason for her to behave like a crook. Michael, on the other hand, already finished discussing with the restaurant manager and entering the private room. Ivanka lagged behind him. She had no intention of entertaining Coco, much less inviting her to eat together. No doubt that the private room was able to accommodate four people. But based on their relationship, Ivanka thought she had been kind enough to not find fault in Coco, much less eating together. Meanwhile, Coco continued to argue with the restaurant manager. She argued until her face reddened. Although the restaurant manager already made hims

    The temperature was above freezing point, so the snowflakes melted before they even reached the ground. The trees were covered in snow. At a glance, they looked like a blanket of pristine snow. The big trees looked as if they had been covered in snow-white new clothes. Ivanka was a little surprised at such a scenery. Even though she often went for business trips in the north and had experienced snow, skied, and various other experiences, it was a rare sight to experience snow in their city. Instead of snow, they looked more like an ice sheet. The snow there was different from the cities in the north. They easily fell on their hair. In just a while, their hair turned snowy white. Ivanka took out her phone and took a photo. Then she shared it with her friends in her WhatsApp group. Meanwhile, Michael took photos of Ivanka. Michael hardly posted anything on Twitter. After a moment, he uploaded a photo of Ivanka taking photos of the scenery.The caption was: Experiencing

    Michael glanced at Ivanka.Ivanka kept her eyes lowered and focused on nothing in particular. Both of them tacitly agreed not to bring it up.“Let’s go out to eat,” Michael said. Ivanka agreed without hesitation.If they got ready and left at this time, they would be just in time for lunch.She went upstairs to freshen up. Michael did not rush her. He just smiled, as if he was telling her to take her time.Ivanka felt a little embarrassed and touched the tip of her nose. Truthfully, she was the one in a hurry because she was the one starving.Five minutes later, she came back down.She had changed into a long black down coat that reached her ankles. It was practical and warm.But the weather was still unbearably cold. This winter was harsher than usual.“Let’s go.” She rubbed her hands together and looked at Michael.Michael was on his phone. He was smiling and looked relaxed. With just a glance, Ivanka could tell he was probably making a reservation.Their long-standing

    Ivanka slept in the next day. By the time she woke up, the sun was already streaming through the window, casting light across her bed and face.In a way, the sunlight had forced her awake.She frowned slightly before slowly opening her eyes. The brightness left spots in her vision, so she instinctively raised a hand to shield herself before getting out of bed.It was already past 10 a.m.She had no idea how she managed to sleep so much, especially after napping all afternoon the day before.Then again, maybe she was just that exhausted. So much had been going on lately.Fortunately, it was Saturday, so she did not have to go to the office.That was probably why her internal clock had not woken her at seven as usual.Come to think of it, her body’s internal clock was quite accommodating.On workdays, no matter how tired she was, she always woke up at seven sharp. But on weekends, that never happened. She could sleep in as much as she wanted, which was pretty great.She lay in
