Chapter 5 I’m Not That Kind Of Person

The hostility in Michael’s eyes was so great that it looked like he was about to kill her with his gaze alone. He then left without a single word.

Chiara’s lips curled upward. Her poise was one of elegance and regality.

Unbothered, Ivanka looked away and continued the discussion with Flint.

After the discussion was over, Ivanka called a cab.

She touched her neck habitually, and her expression changed suddenly.

Where did her necklace go?!

“Sir, please turn around and go back to the Imperial Mansion.”

She must have been in a hurry to leave and forgot to put it on.

After an hour, Ivanka entered the mansion.

The moment she entered the bedroom, Michael was already standing before her dresser. He was lost in his thoughts as he examined his watch.

Ivanka was puzzled. Over the past three years of their marriage, he had never entered their bedroom. Today, he was looking at the watch that she once gave him.

He used to despise the watch and threw it on the floor. Ivanka was the one who had glued the broken pieces back together. Despite it being a defective product by then, she was reluctant to throw it away.

Michael sensed her gaze. When he turned around, he met her indifferent gaze. He smirked and carelessly tossed the watch on the dresser.

“Why did you leave the broken watch here? Do you think I’m a garbage collector?”

The corners of Ivanka’s lips twitched. “Throw it away, then.”

Michael was shocked.

She used to care about the watch so much, but she was showing such a lack of care for it at the moment?

That’s right.

She no longer loved him.

Otherwise, why would she go out on a date with a stranger and chat happily with him?

Michael was livid. His face darkened, and he said, “Ivanka, did you agree to the divorce because you’re seeing someone else?

Ivanka laughed. “If that’s what you think, then sure, why not?”

After she finished speaking, she walked to the dresser. She pulled open the drawer and took out a jewelry box.

The two of them were close to each other, but she did not even bother to give him a glance. She turned around and walked out.

Michael looked angry. He grabbed her wrist. “Is this a place where you can come and go whenever you please?!”

Ivanka could not break herself free of his grasp. She looked at him in puzzlement. “What do you want, then?”

In her mind, she thought. “He’s so unreasonable! How is it that I’ve never noticed that he’s so unpredictable?”

Ivanka kept struggling, but Michael kept a tight hold over her wrist and said darkly, “Grandma wants to see you. You’re coming with me to the mansion tonight.”

Ivanka frowned. She looked at Michael as if he was an idiot. “Mr. Barkworth, do you have a few screws loose in your head? Even if you want to bring someone to the mansion, it should be Chiara.”

Michael’s expression darkened even further upon hearing her words. “I told you, Grandma wants to see you. Did you actually think I’d want to spend time with you alone?”

Ivanka scoffed, “Whenever Grandma wanted to see me in the past, you always found an excuse to avoid bringing me over. Why must I go with you today?”

Michael gave a mocking bark of laughter. “Ivanka, you know just how much Grandma took care of you in the past. Did you forget all that she did for you after our divorce?”

Ivanka pursed her lips. Indeed, Grandma was the only one among the Barkworths who had been nice to her throughout the years. Grandma took care of her feelings. She knew Michael did not care about Ivanka, hence she pitied Ivanka and often did all sorts of things for her to make it up to her.

In fact, Grandma treated Ivanka so well that Ivanka even felt like her biological granddaughter. Therefore, Ivanka was reluctant to turn her down.

Michael felt slightly relieved. He started talking to her harshly again. “In the past, you always asked about Grandma’s wellbeing. Now, you’re completely ignoring her. Ivanka, I never knew you were so rude. Do you cast people away the moment they’ve outlived their worth to you?”

“I’m not that kind of person!” Ivanka glared at him.

Michael snorted. “Then, come with me now!”

    It took a little over an hour before Ivanka arrived at the Barkworth family’s mansion. She felt conflicted. As soon as they entered the mansion, they heard a cry of excitement. “Iv, my beloved granddaughter-in-law! Come and sit with me. I’ve been longing to see you day and night. Oh, you’re finally here!”Ivanka’s mask of calm cracked, and she could no longer hide the complicated emotions in her eyes. She forced a smile. “Grandma, I’m sorry. I’ve been busy—”Before she finished speaking, Rosie Johanson patted her hand gently and said softly, “Say no more. I know of all your troubles.”Ivanka instinctively looked at Rosie. In her puzzlement, she asked tentatively, “You… know everything?”That was impossible. If Grandma had known about their divorce, she would not talk to Ivanka in this manner.Michael also stared at Rosie in puzzlement.Rosie glared at Michael. Her heart ached for Ivanka as she spoke gently to her, “Yes, I know everything. Mic has absolutely stepped out of line.

    Ivanka gave Michael a sarcastic smile. She knew that he must be thinking that she complained about him to Rosie.In the past, Ivanka had tried to avoid having Michael misunderstand her. But now… hah!Even if he misunderstood her, it no longer mattered to her.It was not as if it would do any harm to her.“What’re you staring at?! Iv is not the one who snitched on you. You’re the one who saunters to the hospital every single day and don’t even bother going home. Do you think I’m blind?!”Michael pursed his lips and remained silent.Rosia continued nagging at Michael throughout dinner and did not show him the slightest bit of mercy.Meanwhile, Ivanka was happy to see this. In fact, she felt as if she had vented her anger. Ivanka chatted with Rosie a little longer before she left the mansion with Michael.But this put Ivanka on the spot.Grandma was unaware that they had divorced, so she had to get into Michael’s car.However, she no longer wanted to have any sort of contact w

    Michael gnashed his teeth and hissed, “Ivanka…!”Ivanka smirked. She turned into a corner without looking back. Then, she went down the hill through a path that could only fit one person.After some time, she reached a large road. By then, Michael’s car was out of sight, and Ivanka felt relieved.She wrapped her arms around herself and walked under the moonlight and streetlights. The grass was green, and everything appeared to be at peace.She heard the sound of insects. In the past, she was usually in a hurry whenever she passed by the place. She hardly had the time to take a stroll and admire the panoramic view like today. She waited for a while before the cab arrived. Once it sent her home, Ivanka took her bath and felt refreshed.Although she had been living alone in the past as well as the present, she felt an indescribable sense of relaxation at present. In the past, she always had Michael in her mind. Yet now, she could focus on her career. However, she could not help but

    Jonah chuckled. “So, you’ve come prepared. Mrs. Barkworth, what’re your thoughts on this matter?”After he finished speaking, his smile froze upon seeing Suki behind Ivanka, and he thought. “Why are they together?”Suki cleared her throat and said sheepishly once she entered the room, “Mr. Sadler, I couldn’t tell you everything about Iris earlier, because the circumstances around Iris’s work status had been unclear. However, since we’ve agreed to take up your case, we’ll lay out the facts for you.”Jonah was taken aback. He cast a glance at Ivanka, and his eyes were filled with shock.After a brief moment of silence, he said calmly, “Ms. Moore, are you telling me that the elite lawyer that I’ve gone to great lengths to hire is my rival’s wife?”The corners of Ivanka’s lips curved upward. “Ex.”Regardless of how calm and composed Jonah had been, at that moment, he could not help but cry out in shock, “Ex?!”Ivanka offered a hand to him. “Mr. Sadler, I’m Iris. Nice to meet you.”

    “I can win,” Ivanka said confidently.And Jonah believed her.As he stared at the beautiful woman before him, he fell into a daze.Weren’t pretty women supposed to be empty in the head? Ivanka did not seem to be that sort of person.Jonah nodded and said gently, “Tell me what the condition is. If I’m able to fulfill it, I will do it.”Ivanka placed one of her hands on the table and started tapping arrhythmically on the wood. She looked at Jonah and smiled as she said, “I heard that the former master of the Morris family will hold his birthday banquet in ten days.”Jonah sized her up. “Yes.”Ivanka tilted her head slightly. She asked with a grin, “Do you have a plus one?”A trace of surprise flashed in Jonah’s eyes. The next moment, he chuckled. “The pleasure is mine. I’ll pick you up at night. Give me your address.”Ivanka took a sip of her fruit juice. Her cherry lips were moistened by the liquid. She then pursed her lips and said with a smile, “That’ll be boring. I’ll go to

    Ivanka waved her phone and said, “See you soon.”And she left without waiting for Jonah’s response.Jonah sat motionlessly in his chair. Suki smiled at him before grabbing her phone and following Ivanka.The duo got into Suki’s car, but Suki did not start the car immediately. Instead, she turned to Ivanka incredulously. “Iris, please tell me you’re not using that playboy to heal your broken heart after splitting up with Michael. Taking advantage of Jonah isn’t going to help you heal. Aren’t you worried about falling in love with him and getting your heart broken again?”Ivanka was stunned. It took her a moment before she recovered her senses. She laughed in resignation and said, “What on earth are you talking about? Love is the one thing I hate the most right now. Why would I fall in love with him?”Moreover, how could Jonah possibly want to date her?Ivanka could not help but laugh again. “You’re being a worry wart. Jonah wouldn’t want to date me even if I asked him.”Suki frow

    For a moment, Chiara was in a dilemma. “B-But he usually takes Ivanka with him to these events to show that they’re a loving couple, and he does it for his company’s benefit. Why would he bring me along this time?”Lyla smirked scornfully. “Things have changed.”“Huh?”Lyla tugged on Chiara’s arm and sat her down. “Ivanka is no longer who she was. Your father has gotten his hands on all of her family’s belongings. Ivanka has nothing left in her name. You’re the real princess of the Lane family now, do you understand?”“If that’s the case, it’s even unlikely for Mic to bring me along to the banquet. The public will think that the Barkworth family is heartless for casting Ivanka aside at the moment her father lost his position.”“Pfft! Money is the thing that makes the world go round these days. Although your father is not as powerful as the Barkworth family, he is still one of the leading figures in Bostone. The reason Samuel Barkworth allowed the marriage between Ivanka and Michae

    Rosie stood up and went over to Michael. She was upset with his refusal to change for the better. She pinched his shoulder with all her might and said, “That’s because you hurt her deeply, you brat! Make her come back to you!”“Grandma, I’ve made up my mind.” Michael’s expression darkened.“Do you want to drive me to an early grave?!”As Rosie was speaking, she thought about feigning unconsciousness, but Samuel growled, “That’s enough. Your grandma is not feeling well. I’ll be leaving with her now. You’re a grown-up. Make your own decisions.”“Noted.”Rosie’s expression turned dark. Samuel completely destroyed her plans to feign unconsciousness! Samuel dragged her out of Michael’s office before she even had time to say anything else.“Let go of me! I’m not finished!”She struggled to break herself free, but she could not overpower Samuel. In her anger, Rosie turned her head around and shouted, “I’m warning you, you’re not allowed to split up with Ivanka!”Soon, Michael was left

    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.

    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?”

    The only problem was, the bridegroom never showed up even once. During the first rehearsal, Candice was the only one who finished the whole course. Ivanka was curious, but she did not give it a second thought. She assumed the bridegroom was absent because he was tied up with something else. That night, Ivanka finally saw the so-called bridegroom. But their encounter was not a happy one. At midnight Ivanka could not fall asleep, so she planned to go out to take a walk. The moment she stepped out of the door, she ran into a drunkard. The man was in a formal suit, but his tie was hung crookedly around his neck. He occasionally hiccoughed and looked sloppy. A woman helped him by the side. They were very close, and the way they interacted with each other was flirty. They talked to each other very intimately. Ivanka saw the duo enter the room next to her. She wondered why they would drink so much during somebody else’s wedding eve. Ivanka thought they were just the wedding gues

    Fondli was a third-world country. Although it was less developed, it was clean and not heavily polluted. The moment Ivanka got off the plane, she keenly sensed this. “The air is very fresh. The environment is conducive for Grandma to recuperate over here. Unfortunately, her condition wouldn’t allow her body to be exposed to wind.” Michael did not expect Ivanka to care so much about Rosie. He gave her a profound look. It was rare to see him not snort at her. He wondered if he would have stood a better chance if he had used Rosie to make Ivanka spend the night in the Barkworth family’s mansion last night.But Michael was worried that Ivanka would be mad at this suggestion. Hence, he did not bring it up. Nonetheless, Rosie had specially given an account of what he needed to do during the Fondli trip, and Michael was full of confidence. Outside the airport, Michael’s cousin arranged for them a car. The wedding ceremony was located inside the bride’s mansion on the outskirts.
