He said it so casually, but his words carried endless killing intent!

At that moment, Catherine, who had been making a fuss just now, suddenly panicked and turned pale. She subconsciously looked at Ivanka but found that Ivanka was not even looking at her.

Michael looked at Jonah coldly. “How impressive, Mr. Sadler.”

Jonah raised his eyebrows. “It’s normal to protect the woman you love. Mr. Barkworth, you’re in love with Iv’s cousin, so I believe you can understand my feelings.”

A hint of curiosity flashed in Chiara’s eyes. She subconsciously glanced at Michael but saw him being sullen and silent.

Ivanka did not want to look at the people in front of her anymore, so she said politely to the waiter, “Please show us the way.”

The waiter returned to his senses and hurriedly replied, “Oh, okay.”

Jonah smiled and said to everyone politely, “Please excuse us.”

After he finished speaking, he followed Ivanka and walked toward the private room.

Chiara was anxious when she saw Michael st

    Jonah handed a file to Ivanka. “This is the information of the company in this case. The information I gave you last time was incomplete, so I asked someone to reorganize it.”Ivanka took it and looked through the information for a while. She found it was a little different from the previous one, but it would not affect her work. If anything, two points that were beneficial to her had popped up.She nodded. “This is useful.”Jonah raised his eyebrows. When he saw her eyes flickering, he chuckled and said, “I’ll leave it to you, Iv.”He used to call her Iris, but not anymore.Although Ivanka did not like him calling her by her nickname, she could not tell him not to do so.She raised her head and looked at him. “Have you contacted that person? When will the court take place?”Jonah did not hesitate and said, “In five days.”He narrowed his eyes. “Michael is a strong opponent.”Ivanka raised her eyebrows and looked at him. “What makes you say so?”After spending some time with

    Suki gritted her teeth. “It was a pity to lose your first time in such a way.”Ivanka’s eyes twitched. Her first time…It was precisely why Michael hated her.A person once drugged her and sent her to a room. During that time, she was delirious and spent the night dazed. A man was lying next to her when she woke up, and her body was sore.During that moment, she was flustered. However, she brightened up when she realized that it was Michael.She thought. “Luckily, it’s him.”But after Michael woke up, he was disgusted with her and even made sarcastic remarks.“Ivanka, do you think I’ll marry you because of this? Your father has been trying to get me to marry you, and now you tricked me into sleeping with you. Both of you are despicable!”Back then, she had panicked and explained that she had also been tricked, but Michael did not believe a word. He put on his clothes and left directly.That day, she sat on the bed and kept crying. She was too ashamed to meet anyone.But not l

    Sandy was taken aback.She thought. “The lawsuit Ivan is handling?”Everyone knew of Ivan’s ability. Many people wanted him to help them with the lawsuits, but he would only accept the job depending on his mood.He might not handle a lawsuit for a long time. However, if he decided to accept a case, the lawyer of the other party would immediately give up to avoid facing Ivan.He was the legend who won every case in the rumors.Sandy was also a lawyer. However, she graduated recently, and her career had not been smooth in the past few years, so she was just an insignificant lawyer. She had no chance to watch any important cases.She grew a little interested after hearing Ivan’s words.But the next moment, her eyes flickered, and she snorted coldly. “Ivan, you don’t have to trick me! I know you’re talented, and no one is comparable to you. However, I’m not that ambitious and won’t fawn over you. Goodbye!”Ivan was extremely helpless. When he saw that Sandy was about to leave, he q

    Sandy snorted. “Don’t get ahead of yourself. It’s likely to be Iris. Jonah knows very well that you’re Michael’s best friend. He would almost certainly find someone more capable than you to beat you. If he hires someone else, all his hard work will be in vain.”Ivan snorted coldly. “Even if it’s Iris, I’m confident of my chances. Besides, she has disappeared for several years, so it’s uncertain who’s better. Her reputation affects me since everyone keeps saying I’m the next Iris. I’ll never change my name. I’m Ivan York, not the next Iris!”“Do you hate being called the next Iris? When Iris was famous back then, you were not as successful as you are now. Now that you’re successful, you no longer take her seriously.”Sandy’s voice was full of disdain. Then, she said in mockery, “If you continue to be so arrogant, you’ll eventually lose to Iris. I’m going to wait for that day to happen.”“F*ck!” Ivan looked at her angrily. “You’re inhumane! Even though we’re fighting over the same it

    Ivan immediately turned and saw Ivanka. He frowned slightly. He thought. “This woman used to care about Michael. She was a qualified Mrs. Barkworth.“But now, they have a tense relationship, and she’s even getting together with Jonah. This is unexpected.”Ivan did not plan to get out of the car. He simply glanced at Ivanka. After Sandy closed the door, he drove away.Sandy looked at Ivanka excitedly. “Iv, look. I bought a lot of things. Can you cook for me?”The corners of Ivanka’s mouth twitched. “Aren’t you afraid of getting fat if you eat so much?”“I’m proud of being fat! That’s the prize of eating good food. Those who want to gain weight can’t even get this prize.”Ivanka speechlessly went upstairs with her.Sandy ate many plates of delicious food. She was satisfied. However, she did not plan to spend the night here today. She was worried that Ivan was planning something, so she had to go home quickly for fear of Ivan going to her house to steal that item.The following tw

    After saying that, Mindy could not help but sneer again. “They might get married before Michael.”Bang!Michael suddenly put the cutlery on the table with a gloomy expression.The others looked at him in puzzlement.Mindy returned to her senses and hurriedly said, “Son, it’s not worth being angry with her. Now that you have Chiara, you must be responsible for her. Chiara is a good girl. She is smart, thoughtful, and dignified. She is suitable to be the head lady of the Barkworth family.”Samuel nodded in agreement. “That’s right. We need to continue cooperating with the Lane family in business at a later stage, and it’s good for you to marry Chiara.”Michael frowned. “The situation is tense now, and I have a lawsuit in two days. Let’s talk about it later.”Rosie could not help but sigh. While she felt pity for their divorce, the three were determined to see this through, so there was no point in stopping them.If she forcibly stopped them from divorcing, they would worry about

    The family background and ability of the head lady were crucial.Michael must not marry a useless woman like Ivanka, who only knew how to be a full-time housewife!……The next day, Ivanka went to work in the law firm as usual. However, Drury’s attitude toward her seemed to have worsened.Ivanka did not mind it in the least. After all, they were not working in the same office.After working for a whole day, she suddenly received a call.Ivanka’s expression slightly darkened when she saw the caller.This number…After hesitating, she still answered it and said politely, “Mr. Barkworth.”The other party paused and sighed helplessly. “You change the way of addressing me so fast.”Ivanka pursed her lips. She was silent for a while and asked, “How can I help you?”“Iv, no matter what happened between the two of you, I’ll always be your father since the first day you called me father. It has nothing to do with blood relationship, don’t you know that?”His voice was soft and loving

    Ivanka hurriedly shook her head. “Dad, please don’t say that. It has nothing to do with you. I guess we were simply not fated to be together.”Jay shook his head. “Iv, you two are fated to be together.”Ivanka was stunned. She thought. “Did he come to persuade me to reconcile with Michael?”“You…”That was all she could say, since she did not know how to respond.Jay sighed helplessly. “Iv, I know him well. He actually has feelings for you.”Ivanka could not help but chuckle after hearing that. “Dad, although I regret wasting my love in the past few years, you don’t have to say such a white lie to comfort me.”Jay shook his head solemnly. “No, Iv. I’m not lying to you.”Ivanka said nothing.She clearly did not believe him.Jay did not force her to believe it and continued speaking.“You have known each other for many years. Before that incident happened, Michael’s attitude toward you was not bad, and you could feel it, right?”A trace of nostalgia flashed in Ivanka’s eyes.

    Ivanka frowned deeply. Michael was in a horrible state. He had been poisoned and suffered gunshots. He had a strong tolerance to medicine and pain. But it was his mental condition that caused him to fall into this state. Not being fully recovered also added to the burden. Ivanka gave him a white pill which she had formulated by herself. After that, she had the security guard carry Michael into her car. Then, she sent him to the hospital. They arrived at the emergency department. Xavier had finished attending to his patients. When he walked out of his office, he saw Michael being carried into the hospital. He then saw Ivanka beside Michael. Xavier frowned. His expression became tense, and he asked solemnly, “What’s happened to him?” “He’s weak and had previously been poisoned. Since you’re around, you can look after him.” Ivanka summarized Michael’s condition. After hearing Ivanka’s brief explanation, Xavier gave Michael a checklist and put him on a drip. After that,

    Since Jonah had come to this and Ivanka was not an ungrateful person, she nodded and gave her word. “Jonah, I’ll give this my all. Don’t worry. As long as it’s within my ability, I’ll help you.” Jonah had to be bound to the wheelchair at the moment. Since Ivanka had shared a similar experience when she took over Lane’s Group back then, she naturally figured out how wolfish and greedy his adversaries would be. Jonah was injured because of her. She swore to give her all to save him from whatever crisis he was facing. Jonah took advantage of this and asked, “What time are you coming tomorrow? I’ll have my assistant get ready.” Ivanka thought for a moment. “Tomorrow afternoon.” She needed to manage her company affairs during the first half of the day. Jonah was content upon hearing her answer. “Good. I’ll wait for you tomorrow.” “Okay.” Ivanka nodded before hanging up. When she returned to her office, she did not expect to see Michael sitting on the couch. She nearly jum

    There was only one possibility. Ivanka was calling somebody else. Michael wondered who could strike up such a long conversation with her. Sandy and Ivan had returned to the country. Ivanka’s besties were around her. Even if Ivanka deliberately approached Chiara, she could not possibly have so much to chat with Chiara. If Ivanka’s phone call was business related, there was no need to chat this long. Michael eliminated the possible reasons one by one. In the end, he thought of Jonah. Michael’s expression instantly turned as dark as thunderclouds. His gaze was dull and cold. Evan noticed it. He also saw the call record on Michael’s phone. Evan quickly persuaded Michael, “Mr. Barkworth, Ms. Lane could be tied up with her work, so she couldn’t answer your call. We could go to her workplace now.” Michael said nothing. He gave a cold glance at Evan. Evan got a shock. The next second, Michael turned around and left his office. Looking at Michael’s fading silhouette, Evan wi

  • Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife   Chapter 1707 Do You Feel Safe Letting Others Treat Me?

    It was why Ivanka still came for Jonah in spite of her unpleasant experience with Margaret in the hospital last time. Jonah had been injured because of Ivanka. She came for him only. The other people did not matter to her. Jonah’s heart sank upon hearing her words. His expression tensed up. He could imagine the indifferent look on Ivanka’s face right at that moment. She had that expression on her face simply because he was never really important to her. Jonah was upset precisely because of her indifference to him. He wanted to say something to her but did not know how to begin. He was also not in the position to say that. It did not take long before Ivanka’s gentle but rather indifferent voice rang in his ears, “Jonah, don’t worry. I’ll treat your legs until they recover. Don’t run into any conflicts with your mom because of me.” Her words pulled Jonah’s wandering mind back into the present moment. He felt a heavy weight on his heart. “Iv, I trust you. You don’t need to

    Margaret became frustrated and grabbed Ivanka. She could not understand why Ivanka was fine while Jonah ended up in such a bad situation after the accident.Then, Jonah defended Ivanka. There was also all the talk about Ivanka’s treatment. Margaret was curious to see what kind of miracle medicine Ivanka could develop.In the end, Ivanka’s treatment did not work. Moreover, her relationship with Jonah, which had finally started to improve, was once again ruined because of Ivanka.Jonah scoffed. “Mom, I’m not an eight-year-old anymore. You’re saying all this because you want me to go along with your plans for an arranged date, right?”Margaret had not expected Jonah to guess her thoughts. She was about to insist on her point when Jonah spoke first. With a mocking smile, he said sarcastically, “Do you think anyone would date someone like me?”He had a point. But Laura might be one such person.However, Margaret did not like her. She would do anything to keep Laura from becoming her d

    “That’s because you want him to fall in love with you!” Margaret snapped.Ivanka chuckled softly. Her tone was edged with sarcasm. “Love? Does it really matter that much?”Margaret felt humiliated and furious. She pointed a finger at Ivanka’s face with a hostile expression. “If it doesn’t matter, why are you doing all this? Stop pretending, Ivanka!”Ivanka let out a bitter laugh. “Pretending? What am I pretending for? Is being divorced a crime? Margaret, you’re a woman too. How would you feel if someone accused you like this?”She hoped Margaret would take a moment to reflect. After all, she was Jonah’s mother, and Ivanka did not want their conflict to escalate.But Margaret was unmoved. Her glare turned colder, sharper, and filled with hatred.“You think I’ll just let this go?” Margaret said sharply. “If it weren’t for you, Jonah wouldn’t be in this mess! I meant every word I said, and nothing will change that.”To her, Ivanka was nothing more than someone scheming to use Jonah

    “Ivanka,” Margaret took a deep breath while trying to compose herself. When she looked at Ivanka again, her expression was calm. She said, “I don’t know how deep Jonah’s feelings for you run. What I fear most is that once he becomes fixated on you, that’s it. When he falls for someone, his heart won’t make room for anyone else. In that way, he’s just like his father.”Ivanka’s gaze wavered. She bit her lip and was unsure of what to say.“I beg you, don’t hurt Jonah anymore!” Margaret’s voice carried a note of desperation.Ivanka’s expression turned extremely complicated.There was a time when Jonah came to her only to use her. Back then, they were both using each other. It made things simple.But later, Jonah unexpectedly started talking about marriage. Perhaps it was to provoke Michael, or perhaps he simply wanted to keep her close because she was useful to him.At some point, though, it seemed Jonah had become serious about her. She could not pinpoint when it happened. Perhaps

    Jonah frowned in clear disagreement, but he stayed silent. Ivanka’s confident smile reassured him and made him trust her.Eventually, he let go of her wrist.Ivanka noticed Margaret putting on her shoes. She quickly followed, stepping outside just as Margaret was about to get into her car“Margaret,” she called out.Margaret frowned slightly and stood still.Since Jonah had not come out with Ivanka, she decided she could spare a moment to speak with her.She turned and looked at Ivanka coldly.Ivanka softened her tone. “Let’s take a walk.”Margaret did not respond, but her silence was enough of an agreement.They walked slowly around the edge of the mansion. The surrounding area was all part of the Sadler family estate.Margaret suppressed her anger and glanced at Ivanka before speaking in a composed tone, “Alright. What do you want to say?”Ivanka met her gaze briefly before looking ahead and said, “Do you know what will happen if Jonah’s coughing continues?”Margaret’s he

    Margaret glared at Ivanka and scoffed, “If there’s an issue, I’ll get another doctor to handle it. It’ll be anyone but you, Ivanka. Haven’t I made myself clear enough? I’ve told you this before.”She hated how Ivanka ignored her warnings and kept coming back to visit Jonah time and again. What if Jonah got too close to her and ended up ruining his reputation? If Jonah had not been here, Margaret would have been even harsher.Ivanka frowned as she met Margaret’s sharp gaze. “I’ve never tried to get close to Jonah like that. We’re just friends. I know I’m not good enough for him, so I’ve never even thought about it.”“You might not have, but he has!” Margaret snapped, raising her voice.“Mom!” Jonah’s expression darkened.Jonah was usually calm and polite. This was the first time Ivanka saw him looking so upset and was about to lose his temper.Ivanka’s eyes flickered with hesitation. She was unsure of what to say.Explaining Jonah’s coughing would do no good. Margaret would not
