“Samson.” Samson shuddered and turned to Theodore. “What is it, Mr. Theodore?” Samson grew even more panicked. Theodore said, “You’ll go to work as usual during this period. But don’t go anywhere else and stop contacting Ivanka. If she calls or WhatsApps you, don’t reply to her. Don’t give her a chance to discover more about that issue.” Samson heaved a sigh of relief and nodded. “Got it.” ... It was getting late at night. Michael was alone at home as he handled his job tasks. He had endless tasks to work on daily. Suddenly, he received a notification from his WhatsApp. He clicked on it. Evan: Mr. Barkworth, I’ve found it. He’s a doctor from Lane’s Group’s hospital. His name is Samson Cooper. He was the third-in-command in the hospital, thanks to Theodore Lane. The two had been in contact with each other several times before. Michael narrowed his eyes. Michael: Did you say they contacted each other a few times before? Evan: Yes. After Ms. Lane’s father passed aw
Tanya stared at Hermes and continued, “Grandpa, I know that, as a member of the Cullen family, I’m not supposed to decide my own marriage. I have known that my marriage has to benefit our family since I was young. But I’m so grateful to learn that I love Michael. With that, I can both marry the love of my life and make our family business flourish.” Tanya’s voice was firm. There was a hint of sincerity in her eyes as she stared at Hermes. Hermes was a little stunned. “Tanya…” At this, he could not help but sigh. “I know. I naturally can see the benefits of it. But Michael is a divorced man.” “I don’t mind.” “What I meant was, Ivanka never won his heart. She had worked hard for three years, only to receive nothing in return. On top of that, they were once childhood sweethearts. Can’t you sense his frigid heart?” “That’s because they bore grudges against each other,” said Tanya unhesitatingly. “Michael never liked Ivanka. She’s the one who took the initiative to get together wi
“I know, but no matter how good Sebastian is, I still think Michael is the best.” Hermes fell silent. He felt as if he was about to be driven to an early grave. He was so angry that he did not want to say anything else. Tanya stared at him seriously. “Grandpa, I hope you can support me. Based on the current situation, my marriage with him will produce the best outcome. Moreover, I fell head over heels in love with him. Don’t worry. I believe he’ll fall for me eventually.” Hermes was so furious that he sneered. “Ivanka once had the same thought as you too!” Tanya instantly refuted him, “No, we’re different. Ivanka threatened Michael and set him up. I did not!” “Fine. I won’t argue with you anymore. Consider my advice and keep calm. Don’t act recklessly!” Tanya was stunned. When she noticed Hermes’s resigned look, she felt puzzled. “Grandpa, what do you mean by your last sentence?” “I know you met up with Chiara,” said Hermes as he frowned. “That woman holds a deep-seate
At that moment, everyone had arrived at the conference room. Theodore glanced at the audience before resting his gaze on Ivanka. He, too, hated her to the core. He literally shared the same thoughts as Chiara. The moment Theodore remembered Ivanka had tricked him into losing two billion dollars, he was so furious that he wanted to slaughter her. Despite this, he could not do anything to her. He could not even openly offend Ivanka. After all, Ivanka lived up to her name as Black-eyed Susan. “The meeting is mainly about your collaboration with Barkworth’s Group. Since you’ve finished the project in two months, please share the details with us.” Thomas grinned as he turned to Ivanka. Unfortunately, it was not the right time to praise Ivanka. If not, Thomas really wanted to praise Ivanka for her outstanding performance and show others how excellent the ex-chairman’s daughter was compared to the current chairman’s daughter… Ivanka nodded. “Okay. Regarding the collaboration with Ba
Jillian had always been aggressive, but the fact that she could say something like this today was proof of how good Ivanka was! When she said that, the expression on Theodore and the others’ faces looked absolutely unsightly! Jillian was humiliating him in broad daylight! Fernando was classy, but he was incompetent, right? So what if he was classy? He still died in the end! He sneered. Forget it, he would not bother with losers. Fernando was already dead. It was ridiculous that they would still want to admire him. In fact, they still kept defending him. What a joke! Did they think everything would be settled because Ivanka was here? Ivanka was just a woman! What use was she? The more he thought about it, the bolder Theodore became. In his heart, he was already planning on how to finish these people off! After this meeting ended, Chiara was in no mood to talk to Ivanka. At the moment, she did not want to use anything at all to annoy Ivanka because she always felt that
In that instant, Chiara panicked a little. Although Ivanka mentioned it before, she had been unclear about it. She was just testing her. So, Chiara did not take it to heart. But this time, it was different! Ivanka had given her all the information! Chiara did not have time to dwell on it. She immediately called that mysterious person. Of course, she did not have a way to contact her directly. She would always call, and that person would reject the call. Then, she would contact Chiara back with a burner account. The moment the phone rang, she wasted no time thinking; she just answered the phone. Before the other party could speak, Chiara had already said, “Ivanka suddenly came to me. She already knows that someone is helping me behind the scenes. She even found some clues about you. What should I do?” The person huffed. Then, she said calmly, “It’s normal for Ivanka to discover us. You don’t have to panic.” Chiara frowned. Why did she still feel panicked? She alwa
Ivanka smiled. She did not say it outright. “Enjoy it this time.” “Alright. I’ll await your good news.” Ivanka smiled. “Alright.” With that, they both hung up. Right after that, Ivanka called Jonah again. Jonah picked up quickly. “Finally thought of calling me, hmm?” Ivanka smiled. “I have a collaboration project ready. Do you want to work together?” Jonah was a little surprised. Lane’s Group project from the last time she wanted to cooperate with him was still on hold for the time being. He thought that Ivanka would delay it. However, he did not expect that she actually had a new one. Ivanka pursed her lips. “Yes. I owe you a project from before. Now, it’s time to make good on it.” Jonah was a little surprised. “Shall we have dinner together, then?” “Alright. Is it okay for you to pick me up, Mr. Sadler?” Jonah was a little surprised and said, “It’s my honor.” Ivanka chuckled. “Mr. Sadler, you are known for being flamboyant, and you’re always up with new ideas.
The people in the office each spoke before they could help themselves. “What is the exact reason behind why Mr. Sadler is doing this…? If he wanted to pursue Ivanka, he could have done it differently. Jonah is one of the most emotionally intelligent people around. He’s really experienced in the dating world. He should know what girls like the best. So why is he doing this?” “Maybe he checked and did it on purpose? He might want to compare himself to Michael and let Ivanka see who was more sincere.” “Hmm…? It doesn’t look like that to me…” Even Ivanka did not know at that moment that Jonah would actually do something like this. People in the company were still talking about it. The viewers behind the screen were posting comments one after another, too. CuriousCat: Time seems to pass so slowly! It’s way too slow! Why aren’t the people from Lane’s Group off work yet? Besides, Ivanka is the company’s staff too. It’s not a big deal to get off work early, right? CalmAsTea: The
