Chapter 57 She Would Rather Break Than Bend

Author: Deer
“Everything is about money! All they care about is money. Is money really that important? I wish the Barkworths could go bankrupt right now! Our lives were much happier when we didn’t have money! Your grandpa used to be a different man! But now… Oh, it all changed! Everything changed!”

Resigned weariness flashed across Ivanka’s eyes. “Grandma…”

“Oh, they even cost me such a good granddaughter-in-law. It makes me sad.”

Ivanka smiled. “But Grandma, I’m still your granddaughter, aren’t I?”

“That’s right! Yes, you’re my granddaughter! I don’t want them anymore!”

Ivanka talked with Rosie a little longer to soothe her feelings before hanging up.

She used to hear Grandma complain that the Barkworths had become so rich that their hearts and minds had changed.

She had said several times that she wished the Barkworths were not so rich.

So, next…

Ivanka’s eyes flickered thoughtfully. Jonah turned his head and looked at her. “I suddenly crave for your roasted pork. Can I dine at

    Chiara immediately got up and picked up the phone. The caller had already finished reporting before she said anything. The grin on Chiara’s face widened. “I see.” Then, she hung up and looked at her parents with a smile on her face. Lyla was very surprised. “They’re divorced?” Chiara smiled and nodded. “Yes, they are.” Theodore was also surprised. “What a wealthy family. They just gave up on a ten-billion-dollar contract so easily.” Chiara smiled. “None of that matters. The point is, I will be able to marry into their family soon. Michael has always been good to me. His grandfather and mother love me.” Lyla smiled and nodded. “Of course. Our daughter is such a wonderful girl! I raised you and cultivated you personally. You are elegant and noble, generous, and exceptionally smart. Everyone loves you.” Theodore laughed. “That’s right! If I had worked harder before, you and your mother’s lives would have been better. Ivanka wouldn’t have been the one married into the Barkw

    Ivanka subconsciously looked up and turned around to look at the man beside her. The car had stopped at that moment. Jonah looked at her with a smile. “The Internet is full of nonsense. If it makes you upset, there is someplace I can take you to.” Ivanka smiled a little. “I’m not upset. I was just observing the current situation. I was wondering if I would be pelted with eggs when I leave my house.” Jonah just stared at her in silence. Ivanka took the phone back from his hand and said gratefully, “Thank you for the ride, Mr. Sadler. Just let me know when the hearing is going to be held. See you again, Mr. Sadler.” As she finished saying that, she got out of the car. He watched her close the door and enter her unit. He did not move from the spot. His phone suddenly rang, and Jonah answered it. “Mr. Sadler, they are divorced.” “Okay.” “Should we execute the plan, then?” As Ivanka had walked out of his sight, he withdrew his gaze and said with an indifferent expressi

    Ivanka frowned slightly and remained silent.On the other hand, Sandy‌ said softly, “I’ll get the door. We don’t even know who it is.”Jonah might have invited himself for lunch, or Michael was here to throw another tantrum. Sandy was afraid that Ivanka would have a hard time if she opened the door, so she decided to open it.She swung the door open. Her eyes flashed with surprise when she saw an office lady. “Who are you?”“Is this Iv’s place?” Suki had a tender smile on her face.Sandy subconsciously nodded. “Yes, but who are… Aren’t you Ms. Moore?” Suki smiled. “You know me?”“Of course, I know you! The person I admire most is Iris!” Sandy looked slightly excited. “Are you a good friend of Iv?”Suki’s eyes twinkled with a smile. She nodded. “Yes.”Sandy hurriedly stepped aside. Iris was the one she admired most. Her assistant Suki was also a capable woman in her own right! However, she did not start her own business and had been working with Iris. She loved them both very

    Suki smiled. “Yes.”“Wow!”Sandy was so happy that she almost jumped up and started cheering. Ivanka’s eyes flashed with guilt. Sandy was her best friend, but she knew absolutely nothing.She thought. “If she finds out the truth of what happened today, will she hate me?”Ivanka felt conflicted. However, she still pursed her lips and did not tell her.Ivan was a talented person and an elite lawyer. Even though she felt she could win the court case, she might lose if Ivan knew in advance that Jonah had hired Iris. Ivan would do everything possible to win, and there might be some trouble when that happened.Unfortunately for her, it just so happened that Ivan and Sandy were in contact with each other. The relationship between the two was quite odd, but Ivanka did not ask much about it. However, one could never be too careful. She was worried that Ivan would find out if Sandy accidentally spilled the beans.She knew Sandy would not betray her, but she was worried that Ivan would dis

    Suki was used to calling her Iris, so she was not used to it when she suddenly had to call her by another name.Ivanka nodded. Under everyone’s gazes, the two of them walked inside.Many men were still looking at Ivanka’s back.The man who talked to Ivanka just now put his hands in his trouser pockets and leaned against the computer desk. He was dressed in a black suit and always radiated an evil vibe.There was a mole on the right side of his handsome face, but it did not make him look ugly. Instead, it made him look even more attractive.He just turned twenty-eight yesterday and was single. However, he was a playboy who had countless girlfriends.He looked at Ivanka’s back and could not help but admire her. “Only an extraordinary beauty like her can be Mr. Barkworth’s wife. I thought she was beautiful when I saw her on the screen, but after meeting her in person, I realized she is more beautiful in real life!”A woman stood opposite him. She had always hated this man for being

    Suki frowned. “What nonsense are you spouting? Besides, being a lawyer has never been your job. You can do whatever you want as long as you return occasionally.”Ivanka smiled. “I’ll stay here for the time being and work obediently.”“Pfft…” Suki could not hold back her laughter. “Did you say you’ll work obediently? Why does it sound so awkward to me?”Ivanka just smiled and said nothing.Suki smiled. “All right, you can continue your work. I’m going out for some private matters.”“Okay.”After Suki left, Ivanka began to work officially. Although she was sure to win this lawsuit and knew every law of the country by heart, she still found some information to read. People outside were even more confused to see Ivanka remaining in the office after Suki left.They wondered what was going on.Why was Ivanka still inside the office?Time flew, and it was already noon. It was time for the lawyers to take a break and have lunch.Everyone subconsciously looked at Suki’s office. They

    Drury glanced at her and said in disappointment, “What nonsense are you talking about? In today’s world, women need to be capable. Otherwise, we might encounter trouble after we get married in the future!”Abel looked at Drury speechlessly. “There’s something wrong with your way of thinking. Women who focus on their careers are indeed capable, but it doesn’t mean other women will take advantage of men. Ms. Lane has a career of her own, so you don’t have to hold a prejudice against her.”“You!” Drury was furious, but Abel just took his phone and left.On the other hand, Ivanka had walked out with Jonah.Ivanka looked at him. “How can I help you?”“I do need your help, but let’s eat first.”Ivanka frowned slightly. “I’m not hungry yet. Why don’t you just tell me here?”“You still have to eat even if you’re not hungry. You don’t have to eat only when you’re hungry. If you continue practicing this habit, it’ll be bad for your health.”Ivanka raised her eyebrows and looked at him wi

    Ivanka stopped. She turned and looked at Chiara indifferently. It was as if she did not know her.Chiara’s friends frowned. They knew who she was, but they were displeased to see her.Chiara walked to Ivanka and said in surprise, “Iv, what a coincidence. Who’re you having a meal with? If it’s someone I know, you guys can join us.”Ivanka could not help but sneer. Chiara had always been wise. No matter how much she hated someone, she would never show it. Instead, she would treat them gracefully and generously so that everyone would think of her as a goddess.She could be infinitely tolerant of anyone, and her dignified and graceful attitude made many people think she had an excellent personality. Besides, many people want to be her friends because of her background.After everyone knew the relationship between Chiara and Michael, those friends wanted to fawn over her even more.Ivanka looked at her indifferently. “Is it fun to ask the obvious?”Chiara was a little surprised.

    Ivanka understood everything just by looking at Stella’s expression.The drinks and pastries had to be the problem. The weakness and fatigue people were experiencing must have come from consuming them. She tested them with a test strip right away.As expected, they had been poisoned.She had not eaten anything, so she was fine. But she was unsure about Vincenzo, so she checked on him immediately. Thankfully, he was unharmed.Stella let out a deep breath.Before she could say anything, Vincenzo scolded her. “You ran back here and left Njord alone? Hurry up and get back there!”“Yes, Boss!”Stella responded quickly and ran off.Ivanka was about to speak when Michael and Evan rushed in.Michael looked anxious and was breathing heavily.Just like Stella, he was panicking.“Come here. Let me check.” Ivanka nodded at him. She knew how stubborn he was.Michael pursed his lips together and hesitated.But Ivanka had already stepped forward and checked on him. His pulse was weakenin

    Vincenzo immediately noticed Michael putting some distance between them.It was not out of fear but respect for Vincenzo’s status. After all, he was Ivanka’s only family.Ivanka walked straight to Vincenzo without sparing Michael a glance.Michael could only stand there and watch her leave.Back at their spot, Vincenzo remained silent. Ivanka, however, felt uneasy.She had only gone to the restroom and had not expected to run into Michael.After some thought, she decided to explain.“Uncle, I didn’t go looking for him.”“You don’t need to explain. Even if you did, that’s your choice. I’ve said what I needed to. The decision is yours.”His tone was calm, but to Ivanka, it sounded like he was upset.She wanted to say more, but Vincenzo spoke first. “Don’t blame yourself. I’m not angry. Once the banquet is over, take a few days to rest. Then we’ll head out.”“Alright.”Since he had already said that, there was nothing more to say.Caeser had hosted the banquet to trigger inte

    Ivanka saw the grin on Michael’s face and immediately let go of his arm. Her expression darkened with displeasure.Michael looked like he was enjoying her frustration.“I’m not,” he denied at once, quickly adding, “I’m happy because you pulled me away. It shows you care.”Ivanka was speechless.She looked at his smiling face and shook her head. “I just didn’t want you getting into a fight with Mr. George right now. If something happened to you while I was there, I couldn’t just leave. And if I didn’t, that would make me responsible for you.”Michael frowned. “Do you really think I’m that useless?”He had fought Mr. George before and never even saw him as a threat. There was no way someone like that could take him down.“That’s not the point. Mr. George isn’t alone, but you are. This isn’t your territory, Michael. And don’t forget, the drug in your system hasn’t fully cleared, and your gunshot wound—”He cut her off before she could finish.“That injury was a long time ago. I’m

    Ivanka had never revealed her identity as Violet Cress. How did Mr. George figure it out just from her treating Caeser?“Mr. Ali, I only gave Mr. Hicks a few herbal prescriptions. It was nothing special.”“Caeser has plenty of skilled doctors, yet none of them could fix his condition. You did so effortlessly. That says a lot. Anyone who can earn his trust must be exceptionally capable. Ms. Ivanka, the Ganoderma Nebula is not something just anyone can use properly, nor does everyone have your level of confidence.”At first, Mr. George had not suspected anything. But after learning about the legendary medical expert, Violet Cress, he started making connections. She was well known by reputation, yet no one had ever seen her face. He had looked into her background and found that she was probably not elderly.There was also the Ganoderma Nebula.So, he made an educated guess.Looking at Ivanka’s calm reaction, he was even more convinced. When he first mentioned it, there had been a fl

    A teasing voice broke the moment, interrupting Ivanka and Michael.They turned to look.Standing before them was none other than Mr. George. It had been a while since they last saw him.Michael narrowed his eyes. He had not expected him to show up at Caeser’s banquet.“What? Didn’t learn your lesson last time?” His tone was cold and sharp.As he spoke, he stepped forward. He simultaneously shielded Ivanka behind him.They knew they were in Mirvania, and Vincenzo was nearby. No matter what Mr. George was planning, he would not dare make a move under Vincenzo’s watch.Still, Michael’s reaction was instinctive.“No hard feelings, right? Isn’t this how friendships start?” Mr. George replied indifferently. He stepped to the side and looked at Ivanka.“Friends?” Ivanka let out a sharp laugh. “Be honest, Mr. George. Do you really think we could ever be friends?”She had taken the Ganoderma Nebula. He had tried to steal it by sending his men. She had turned five of them against him a

    Ivanka tried to step aside, but Michael blocked her path.The acrid smell of smoke hit her.She instinctively covered her nose and mouth.Michael saw her reaction and put out his cigarette.“If I talk through a third party and they can’t get my point across to my subordinates, wouldn’t it be better to handle it myself?”Ivanka frowned. “Is this really the time to talk about this?”She thought about pushing him away, but she decided against it.“I know it’s not. I also know you did all that to make me give up. But I won’t. It will just hurt.”His voice was hoarse and tinged with sorrow.He looked heartbroken.If this had been before, she might have felt bad for him. But at that moment, she felt nothing. She said calmly, “That’s your problem, not mine. If you want to keep getting knocked out and run around like this, be my guest.”She stepped forward and pulled out her phone.Michael knew exactly what she meant. If he kept blocking her way, she would call Njord, Stella, and t

    “Alright, go back to the casino and wait for my order.”The fight between Tanya and Blake had revealed how fragile their relationship was. If Tanya thought the stranger she met at the party was reliable, she would try to leave Blake.She would have thought that she had gotten her freedom. But in fact, it was just another circle of hell awaiting her.By then, Tanya would suffer a worse fate than death.That was what Ivanka wanted to see.After all, Tanya had disguised herself as Ivanka and put a stain on her reputation for a time. Moreover, Tanya was still planning to come after her and Michael.Ivanka would not intervene in the feud between Tanya and Michael, but since she had run into Tanya at the party, she would like to settle the score between her and Tanya.“That’s your plan?”As Ivanka hung up, Vincent could not help frowning.He knew what she was up to when she had asked Njord to assign the job to a man.But the progress was too slow!Ivanka nodded with a smile. “Yeah

    Tanya was not a fool.Seeing Tanya’s reaction, the man smiled calmly and said, “Seriously? He’s just your boyfriend. He can’t possibly stop you from making friends, right?”Tanya ignored him and kept walking.She reached a junction and took out her phone to book a ride. But the Hicks family’s mansion was on the hillside. Moreover, Caeser had contacted the Ministry of Transport to impose traffic control in the area. Apart from those who attended the party, no one else’s vehicle was allowed to enter.Seeing that there was not a single car around, Tanya had no choice but to walk down the hill.Blake had told her to get lost, so she would not go back to the mansion to ask for his help.She walked for about five minutes. High heels were not made for long-distance walks, and she was in a long evening gown. She held a little purse that contained her phone, lipstick, a small packet of tissues, and nothing else. Worse still, she could not tear off the long hem of her gown.Tanya had no c

    What Blake said struck a chord with Tanya.Her expression was cold, and the look in her eyes was vicious.She did not even love Blake, so everything he did had nothing to do with her. She did not care if he was involved with other women.“Do you have anything else to say? I don’t think I need to be at this party for long.” Tanya averted her gaze so that she did not have to look Blake in the eye.She had made her point clear. If he did not need her around, she would take her leave for the night.Naturally, Blake knew what she meant to say.“Get lost then!”He yelled at Tanya right away. She did not even spare him a look before lifting the hem of her dress, turning around, and walking away.Blake’s voice was filled with disgust, hatred, and rage. But Tanya could not care less about how he felt.She had come to the party with Blake, who arranged their ride. The Hicks, who organized this party, had prepared a parking lot for the guests. There were cars arranged neatly across the p
