Chapter 728 Someone Defended Her

Author: Deer
Chelsea was still following Michael, but she dared not catch up to him. She did not want to give up, so she tailed him all the way to the elevator and saw him entering it with Ivanka.

“Mr. Barkworth…” She still called after him stubbornly, as if Michael would open the door for her.

At that moment, everyone stared at her with varied emotions in their eyes.

The HR manager looked at her coldly and said in a solemn voice, I hope you’ll take responsibility for your actions today. Don’t make me waste my breath on you. You know what Mr. Barkworth will do.”

With that, the manager did not spare her another look or wait for her response. He turned around and left right away.

All around her, one of the employees who disliked Chelsea already began sneering. “Back then, I almost did not pass the interview because of you. If I must be fair and honest, you are certainly problematic. If you were to stay in Barkworth’s Group, you’d only ruin the company’s reputation. Some of my friends who didn’t

    “Of course there is.” The sales director curled her lips slowly. She was in her forties, but looked much younger due to her self-care routine.She was also wearing office attire, and she had a great figure. However, there was a striking tattoo on her left cheek. It was a very tiny rose.No one knew why she would tattoo that on her face, but it made her even more charming rather than tacky.“Is there a way to fix this?”Chelsea stared at the woman before her. They had talked to each other once or twice in the past, but outside of those occasions, they mostly did not interact with one another when they met. All they did was exchange nods as a way of greeting. Yet, this woman was willing to help her?This puzzled Chelsea, but she also felt strangely emotional. Those who were close to her did not defend her when she needed them. The only person who gave her a hand was an acquaintance.“Hah.” She thought. How ironic.As she waited for the answer, the sales director, Moana Lemmings, s

    Ivanka frowned silently.She thought Michael wanted to assign her work.She followed him all the way into his office. After he closed the door, he looked at her grimly.Ivanka had a puzzled expression on her face. She remained where she was and waited for his instruction.But Michael strode up to her and said in a cold voice, “How long are you going to keep stirring up trouble?”“Stir up trouble?” Ivanka was confused. “What are you saying such weird things?”She thought that she had not once done that in front of him since before they got married.She did all she was supposed to do in her daily life. Even when they were still a lawful couple, she had not fought with Michael because he left to keep Chiara company. She would certainly not do that after the divorce.Seeing Ivanka’s calm yet baffled expression, Michael felt as though he was the one starting a fight unprompted. He suddenly snorted in laughter. “Very well.”Ivanka was even more confused.She knew that Michael never

    Ivanka was baffled.She had no idea how to react to Michael.Seeing that there was no important matter to discuss, she immediately said in a somber voice. “You may consider this matter thoroughly. I shall head back to my office and keep working. I’m ready to stop whenever you want to cancel the project.”With that, Ivanka did not say another word to Michael and turned to leave.But Michael seized her arm quickly and did not allow her to get out.Ivanka frowned slightly and turned her eyes on him. “What else do you want?”Michael clenched his teeth. “Do you think I won’t call off this project because of the profits?”Ivanka instantly laughed sarcastically. “Barkworth’s Group is rich and established. Why would you care about the meager profit?”“Very well.” Michael gripped her arm tightly. Before she even knew how to respond, he flung her onto the couch.Ivanka was flabbergasted the whole time. She looked at Michael, who was approaching her, with confusion. “Which one of us is s

    Ivanka furrowed her brows tightly and stared at Michael grimly. He was being ridiculous. What did he mean by “play along”?What happened between them? What was she even obliged to “play along” with?Meeting his sharp, unwavering gaze, Ivanka’s patience gradually wore out. At last, she said in a somber voice, “What on earth do you want?”At that moment, Ivanka was lying on the couch with Michael on top of her. She could not free herself from his grip.The look in Michael’s eyes became even colder. Seeing her genuinely clueless expression, his rage grew and seethed for no reason. Michael himself was astounded. Since when did Ivanka manage to affect his emotions? This did not look good.But he could not help saying icily, “What do you think? Now the whole company is talking about us. Ivanka, I have asked you the same questions so many times. Are you that forgetful?”Ivanka said, “What… are you trying to say?”She was genuinely clueless, and the impatience in her eyes only grew, w

    Michael had longed for Ivanka’s lips.At that moment, a rush of thoughts flooded his mind.He could smell her familiar scent. Even in the past, he was never averse to her scent. Evan, who was always by Michael’s side, knew his preference. He knew that Michael disliked women with strong perfumes, but Ivanka’s natural scent was comforting to him.Being close to her, Michael could even hear her rapid breathing in his ears. He knew that it was not because she was falling in love with him, but rather, this was her initial reaction born from a mix of panic, fear, and anger. She raised her hand to push Michael away. Michael managed to quickly and skillfully grab her hands, and it left her no chance to struggle. Despite being skilled in taekwondo, Ivanka was subdued by him. She was completely powerless.Her face quickly became pale. What he did was humiliating. She was fuming because she knew that he was doing this on purpose.Yet, with her arms pinned, she could not fight back an

    Michael’s expression darkened as his urge to punish Ivanka grew stronger. This was not her first time scolding him like this.This time, while she was scolding him, he interrupted her. “Ivanka, this is what you get for not listening to me.”He deepened his kiss with Ivanka and held her head. This made it harder for her to struggle. He suddenly pulled back his hand and slipped it into her clothes. Ivanka was shocked and turned pale as she felt his touch on her bare lower abdomen. She trembled.At that moment, she stopped resisting and said, “Michael, you really know how to humiliate me, don’t you?”She mumbled because Michael was still kissing her, but he heard her loud and clear. He stopped and subconsciously looked at her.He stiffened when he saw how pale and desolate Ivanka looked.His expression changed as he instantly came back to his senses.What had he done?He quickly let go of her. How could he let her anger him to the point of losing his composure?!While he was da

    Sophia stopped talking. She appeared timid as she wore her emotions on her sleeves. Her expression revealed a mix of hesitation and complexity. Other secretaries became intrigued when they noticed her emotions.“What’s wrong? Why did you stop halfway?”Still holding the documents, she raised her right hand to tuck a loose strand of hair in front of her forehead behind her ear before speaking awkwardly, “I just... saw something I shouldn’t have seen...”Her behavior piqued everyone’s curiosity in the office. Her words only fueled their eagerness to hear and gossip about it.One of them could not help but ask, “What happened?”One of the male secretaries, Alex, chuckled. “Stuff you’re not supposed to see is what makes good gossip.”Olivia, another younger female secretary, persuaded, “Come on, spill the beans! What happened? We all work together and are pretty close. No one will throw you under the bus!”After all, the one who knew the secret felt the weight of it, while the oth

    Even after returning to her office, Ivanka could not calm down.The earlier incident remained vivid in her mind!She closed her eyes and took a deep breath to try to compose herself.She wanted to brush off all the bad things that happened earlier, but she could never let it slide. How dare he humiliate her?! If she did let it slide, she would suffocate in anger.She took a deep breath and massaged the muscle between her eyebrows.He had behaved this way more than once. She would not give in to his behavior.As she thought of that, she picked up her phone and called him.Michael was surprised to see Ivanka’s call. He picked it up with a stern face.Before he could say anything, Ivanka said, “I’m visiting Grandma tonight.”His expression darkened. “What are you up to?”She sneered, “What do you mean? You’re the one who told me to regularly visit Grandma.”Michael frowned. “Let’s go together after work “Ivanka hung up without saying anything further.She knew he was worried

    “Okay, you can come over, but not too close. Also, get rid of the earphones from your ears.”“No!” Michael said almost immediately.Ivanka frowned. It was obvious that the other party had misunderstood. He thought that she was talking to the police.She could not help but explain, “Don’t worry, this is just a call with my friend, not the police.”She did not know if the mention of the police had irritated him. The jumper, who was originally still emotionally stable, suddenly started throwing a tantrum. His eyes were full of madness.“I don’t care! All I know is that if you want to come over, throw away your earphones, or I’m going to jump!”Ivanka noticed that the man seemed to be wearing a wireless headset as well. Presumably, someone on the other end of the phone was guiding him.As the man spoke, he stood up like he would fall if the wind blew.The people downstairs were once again abuzz.“What’s going on here? The talks broke down, didn’t they?”“Oh my god, I can’t stand

    The nearest civilian police officer was also about ten meters away. He had ordered them not to approach.He was probably also afraid of dying, which was why he was sitting on the railing.In that position, as long as he did not let go, he generally could not die. That was why the police were also utilizing the blind spot in his vision to approach slowly.Before she came, the police had already told her. She had only come to attract the man’s attention. However, she also could not let him get too emotional. Otherwise, he might slip and fall off the building or commit suicide from being too emotional.Originally, the jumper’s emotions were still quite stable as well.But as soon as he saw Ivanka, he started to get agitated.“Don’t you f*cking move! It’s all because of you! My whole family can’t get the money. My wife is dead! You talk like you’re all that on TV, but in reality, you’re just pretending! You’ve got a good reputation, but what about us? Aren’t we human beings? Don’t

    Jimothy did not speak for a long time as if he had suddenly thought of something.An eerie silence spread between the two.When Candice saw that Jimothy did not answer her, she assumed that he had agreed to it silently and did not continue with the topic. She had no idea how to continue the topic either.Jimothy seemed rather heavy-hearted. In the past, after persuading her but to no avail, he would probably do something to ease Candice’s frustration.But at present, he just felt… that perhaps doing nothing was the best.On the other side, Ivanka entered the elevator and watched the elevator’s floors slowly rise in a bit of a daze.In the elevator, she and Michael also thought about the matter of an inside man.Normally when entering the Lane’s Group, even if Michael were to come personally, he would have to have an appointment, let alone an unfamiliar face.In such a situation, there would also be migrant workers appearing on the top floor of Lane’s Group. It was hard to bel

    But at that moment, Michael’s words pulled Ivanka back when she was absolutely bonkers from her anger.Yes, she could not play into their hands. If not, was she just going to go along with their goal? Ivanka croaked an “okay”. Michael finally felt relieved. After passing through the scene, Ivanka came downstairs.She tilted her head to look up. A migrant worker stood on the roof of the building. Most of his body was already outside the guardrail.He held a long banner in his hand, which read: Unpaid pay, forcing the migrant workers to die!There was a speaker in his other hand as he screeched. “Stop faking it, Ivanka. No matter how grand your speeches are on TV, it still doesn’t change how venomous your heart is. I have a question. Everyone on the internet, how did all of them believe a poisonous woman like you?! Don’t they all say that the eyes of the masses are sharp? Now that everyone has been deceived by your appearances, I’m going to reveal your true colors for everyone

    Ivanka agreed with a deep grunt. The gas pedal under her feet unconsciously roared.As she drove to the company building, lots of people had gathered around.There were onlookers watching the commotion. The media, the fire department as well as the police had just arrived.Most importantly, there was also a group of migrant workers. They were all wearing blue work clothes and yellow hats.No matter what their status was, everyone tilted their heads and looked at the roof of the building.Ivanka got out of the car. Under the escort of the security guards, she passed through the middle of the crowd.During this time, for some reason, someone deliberately or unintentionally stirred up everyone’s emotions by shouting.Anyway, someone shouted Ivanka’s name.“Isn’t this Ivanka, the chairman of Lane’s Group?”All of a sudden everyone leaned over towards this side.Some media outlets wanted to find out what was going on. After the last time, Ivanka clarified things live online, she h

    Ever since she ended the call with Candice, Ivanka was troubled. She always felt like another incident was just around the corner, especially over the last two days; that feeling had gotten stronger. Ivanka had told only Michael about this feeling. After Michael heard her through, he said that he had the same thoughts and feelings as Ivanka. One thing was certain: the large batch of media reporters appearing at the company’s entrance at the same time was obviously organized and premeditated. So, it was definitely not an accident. That person obviously had some power, and to be able to make so many media companies respond to them meant that they must also have some power financially.What was more, the person behind this was very mysterious. Both Ivanka and Michael could not find out who that person really was, no matter what strings they pulled.There was not even a single clue leading to the person.Michael looked at Ivanka, who seemed a bit worried, and comforted her by

    After walking out of the room, Ivanka received Candice’s call. Candice called to report her good news. Ever since the live broadcast, things had clearly improved for the company. The company’s stock had rebounded when it was once on the verge of falling. It was undoubtedly a good sign. Candice informed Ivanka all of this happily while Ivanka was still caught in a daze. “The company is back on track, all thanks to your move in saving the day! The other companies are regretting their decisions now. Iv, you’re awesome!” Ivanka smiled. “I’m glad to hear that the company is operating as usual. I hope nothing else will go wrong again. But I somehow find it odd when things get resolved a bit too smoothly.” Candice, on the other hand, dismissed that thought. She believed Ivanka had been too vigilant. What mattered most was the company’s reputation had been salvaged. Other than that, she could not think of any other problems. Ivanka parted her lips, but no word came out of her

  • Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife   Chapter 2067 Trust

    Ivan said this not just because he trusted Ivanka’s medical skills, but mostly because he believed in Sandy. Although a paralyzed person could neither move nor talk, they could hear sounds. Ivan believed Sandy heard Ivanka’s calls. It would help her regain her consciousness. Ivanka felt extremely grateful for their trust in her. She swore to herself that she would not disappoint them. Since Sandy’s family members agreed with this, the physician had no reason to stop Ivanka. When the physician watched Sandy being carried up to the ambulance and sent to Ivanka’s home, he shook his head and sighed. The physician believed Sandy’s family members’ blind obedience and foolishness would only get Sandy killed. Nonetheless, it was out of his hands. The physician could only pray for Sandy. Ivanka did not know what the physician was thinking, nor did she even care. She accompanied Sandy’s mother and talked to her. They had a heart-to-heart talk. After that, she had someone se

    Sandy laid quietly on the bed without any signs of life. Ivanka found it strange. After so long, Sandy still did not show any signs of improvement. Ivanka had questioned the attending physician. But the physician gave her a very vague answer. “Even to this day, we don’t knaow the exact time she would regain her consciousness. There’s no way for me to give you an accurate answer. What I could say is, fate will decide. Perhaps she will regain her consciousness by tomorrow, or perhaps she will never regain her consciousness for the rest of her life. In the meantime, her family and friends can stay around and chat with the patient as this can stimulate her will to live on to a certain extent.” Ivanka thought the physician might as well have said nothing at all. Did that mean she could not do anything to help Sandy and could only let fate decide? Ivanka was an atheist. She never trusted in any gods or fate. Judging from the current situation, it looked like the physician was unr
