Ivanka pursed her lips and spoke again. “Some say that Michael can’t let go of me. That’s why he brought me to Barkworth Group and gave me such great power. But others say that Michael doesn’t care about me at all, and he’s only doing this for you. There’s been a lot of debate over this.”

“So, what’s the bet?” Seemingly amused, Rosie chuckled.

“The stakes are money and various difficult tasks,” Ivanka’s eyes flickered slightly.

“They say I...” Ivanka’s eyes momentarily glinted with sadness and helplessness. “Sometimes I wonder if I’m too much of a failure, or if I should never have had a past with Michael. Would they stop talking about me then? Sometimes, they say these things to my face...”

A look of defeat flashed in Ivanka’s eyes.

At that moment, Michael also received a message from Evan.

Evan: [I didn’t know about this. I’ll have someone look into it now.]

He put down his phone silently.

Ivanka continued, “They say I’m just a trophy wife with no real ability, and th

    Michael could not help but laugh. “Not a good idea?” Was this not what she wanted? Was this why she came today? Ivanka’s gaze fell on Michael’s face, but she did not seem embarrassed at all. Instead, she nodded naturally at him. “How could this be a good idea? How could you possibly stoop to pick nine hundred and ninety-nine roses for me? One or two roses might be manageable, but nine hundred and ninety-nine is terrifying.” Once again amused and angered by Ivanka, Michael gritted his teeth. “What’s so terrifying about it? It’s just nine hundred and ninety-nine roses. Consider it exercise. You brat, go do it now!” Ivanka lowered her head slightly and said nothing more. She came today for this reason. Since Michael dared to bully her, he had to face the consequences. Michael’s face grew increasingly darker, and he did not say a word or show any intention of moving. Seeing this, Rosie’s expression darkened. “What do you mean? Don’t want to go? Ivanka has been talked about

    Michael shut down completely. He did not want to utter a single word. But Rosie’s attitude was clear. If he said no, she might push herself too hard and fall ill. Ivanka pretended to want to speak, but Rosie stopped her. “Ivanka, don’t talk. I just want to hear it from him!” With the last few words, Rosie’s gaze fell on Michael’s face again. Michael irritably tugged at his tie. Ivanka’s eyes flickered involuntarily when she saw this. She suddenly remembered how Michael looked when he loosened his tie in his office. At that moment, Ivanka quickly averted her gaze, as if she dared not look any longer. Then, she heard Michael’s annoyed and helpless voice. “I’ll go.” Ivanka immediately looked at Michael again. Her eyes were calm, but the sarcasm and the posture of a victor were all displayed, which made Michael’s face even darker and heavier. Rosie was satisfied. She took Ivanka by the hand and started walking out. As they passed by Michael, she grabbed his hand. “No dela

    Michael naturally did not want to move, but he could not withstand the continuous pressure from Rosie. After Rosie repeated herself several times, Michael had no choice but to finally move. He slightly bent his tall frame and picked a rose with his slender fingers. Rosie’s mood instantly improved. She happily said, “Good job, grandson! Only nine hundred and ninety-eight more to go to complete the task,” leaving Michael speechless. Ivanka trembled with laughter while holding her phone, unable to control the smile on her lips. Rosie was so humorous, Ivanka almost burst into laughter. Helplessly, Michael continued picking. One, two, three, four... Time passed, and Michael kept picking. Although it was already dark, the lights lit up the entire backyard and clearly illuminated every part of the scenery. Ivanka felt a bit tired holding up her phone. After Michael had continuously picked about three hundred roses, there was not a single drop of sweat on him, and his breathi

    Rosie was determined to stay. Ivanka had no choice but to help her sit down. So, the two of them sat together and watched Michael busily pick roses in the sea of flowers... Rosie’s smile grew a bit wider. “This is quite pleasant to watch.” Michael remained quiet. He lowered his gaze as a cold sneer flashed in his eyes. Since Ivanka wanted roses, he would give her roses. As Rosie and Ivanka chatted and waited, Michael finally picked enough roses. All this time, Rosie had been counting in his stead. For every ten roses, she would report the count. Despite her age, Rosie’s mind was not muddled at all. She was arguably sharper than most people. Ivanka was not surprised to see no sign of fatigue on Michael’s face. Firstly, this man always maintained his composure, and secondly, although he was busy every day, he never missed his fitness routine. His physique was excellent, and a task like this would not tire him at all. But Ivanka never thought that tiring him out wa

    Ivanka’s eyes flickered slightly. She quickly nodded. “Okay, let’s eat first.” She had mentioned eating first earlier, but Rosie disagreed with everything. Ivanka was somewhat regretful. She was afraid that after she left, Rosie would not have the appetite to eat, so she directly helped the elderly lady inside. However, as she looked up, she saw Michael sitting at the dining table, looking composed. Ivanka was puzzled. Ivanka had expected Michael to have stormed off by now. But now, he was actually going to stay and eat? He must really be hungry. Ivanka felt that Michael’s will was not as strong as she thought. After washing her hands, she walked to the dining table and smiled at Michael as if she was very concerned. “You must be exhausted, huh? I thought you were in good physical shape, but it seems that I have overestimated you.” The worst thing one could do to a man was mock him for not being in good shape, and Ivanka did it on purpose! Michael’s expression instant

    Rosie was afraid that Ivanka would not listen, so she dragged her to Michael’s front passenger seat. She opened the door and said, “Get in, brat.” Ivanka nodded cooperatively and got into the car. Then, she looked toward Rosie. “Grandma, you should go back soon.” Rosie smiled and nodded. “Well, I’ll watch you guys leave before I go in. Fasten your seatbelt.” Ivanka obediently strapped herself in. Rosie closed the car door behind her. She still had a soft smile on her lips. Why did she feel like these two kids were slowly moving in a good direction? Although her grandson was more obedient and never disobeyed her, today, he picked 999 roses. This was a lot, and he picked them all himself. It would not be that easy, even if she forced him to. Today, her grandson seemed to agree pretty quickly. Michael and Ivanka naturally had no idea what Rosie had on her mind. The moment the car door closed, Michael drove off. Rosie watched them for a while before going back with a smile

    When no one responded. Samuel was even more certain that this was the truth. He gritted his teeth and said, “This bastard. Son of a bitch. How dare he!” No one dared to say anything. Each one of them stood aside peacefully while some went quietly to work. Samuel did not know what was going on. So, he picked up his phone and dialed Michael’s number. Before Michael could say anything, he shouted out angrily. “Brat, who told you to take my roses away? I planted the whole yard full of roses for your grandmother myself. Can’t you freaking buy your own roses? Besides, what are you doing destroying my roses? Do you have a lover? It’s not Valentine’s Day. Why are you picking my roses?!” Samuel was furious. His volume raised quite a bit when he talked. His tone was deafening. Only after he finished speaking, he did not hear any response from the other side. Michael did not seem to hear him at all. “Brat, didn’t you hear what I said?” Samuel said the words with a sullen face, and

    “I planted these roses with my own hands! That brat ruined all my efforts. What do you think is wrong with me?!” Samuel was losing his mind from anger. However, Rosie asked in confusion. “You planted the roses with your own hands?” How did she not know? Samuel gritted his teeth and said, “Of course I planted them with my own hands. Do I have to lie to you about something like this? What’s the point of lying?!” Rosie was even more surprised. “When did you plant them? Why didn’t I know about this?” Samuel’s expression was extremely ugly, but he did not want to respond to Rosie’s topic. “Why did that brat pick my flowers!” He put in a lot of effort to plant these flowers. In fact, they meant something. He just wanted to wait for Valentine’s Day to pick some roses and arrange them into a romantic shape. By then, the number of the remaining flowers would also amount to a prosperous figure. It would be a huge surprise from all aspects. But that bastard Michael destroyed i

    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

    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
