Chapter 973 What Other Way Was There

Author: Deer
Theodore’s expression grew darker. He knew this was his only way, but he could not stand it!

Also, Lyla was not done talking yet. She looked at Theodore grimly. “As for the income for these past few years, it doesn’t matter if she had cheated us of those. At least, we are not going to give her that again. Otherwise, not only do we need to give her the shares, we’ll also need to pay her extra money on top of that. We’ll be losing out big time.”

Theodore gritted his teeth. “No! That’s not a good idea! How could I return the shares to her? We already put in so much effort to kill Fernando in the first place. She has already cheated us of two billion dollars, and we’ve lost all of our income for the past few years. If we let her take the shares back and let her demand an extra billion or so more of our profits, then not only will we not earn a single cent, we’ll also have to compensate her with two billion after all our troubles. How are we going to pay her, then?!”

Lyla frowned. Th

    “About that, I want to ask for your advice. Can you help me contact the judge? Tomorrow’s case will be Ivanka’s case against me. I wonder if the judge can…” Theodore sounded a little helpless, but he did not finish his words. He was being very obvious. If the assistant could not tell, then he was not fit to stay by the judge’s side. When the assistant heard this, he finally sighed in resignation. “Mr. Lane. I’m really sorry. I can’t help you with such matters.” Since Theodore had made it clear, he could reject it outright. Theodore’s expression instantly changed, but once he thought that this might be the other party’s attempt to ask for more, he quickly spoke again, “Please, Mr. Berg. I know this is an inconvenience for you, but these shares are really important to me. I really need your help to mention this to the judge. Rest assured; your efforts will be rewarded. I will definitely show you my sincerest thanks! You could even state your price!” The judge’s assistant sig

    “Mr. Theodore has taken my father and my assets. Before this court session, I have discussed this matter with him multiple times, but to no avail. So, I have no choice but to sue him. I have the right to demand that Mr. Theodore return all of his shares and all the profits over the years in full.” Theodore was shocked! He was about to explode from rage! She demanded he return all the profits in full? Even so, before he could dwell on it, Ivanka said, “When I request for Mr. Theodore to return all of his shares, I mean all of it. Mr. Theodore will not have a single share left.” Theodore was dumbstruck. Chiara and Lyla’s expressions were ugly beyond words as they watched from the audience seat! “Has Ivanka lost her mind?!” Chiara gritted her teeth, but she did not dare to talk too loudly. She said in disbelief, “No matter what, Fernando gave the shares to Dad back then. In fact, they had a proper contract. How could she do this?!” However, just as she said that, she sens

    “Mr. Theodore and his family are responsible for the murder of my father. They have no right to inherit the shares.”Theodore’s heart skipped a beat. His face contorted as he shouted, “That’s nonsense!”Lyla and Chiara panicked!They never expected Ivanka to say such a thing there!That immediately caught everyone’s attention!Even Ivan had forgotten about his anger toward Sandy. He stared at Ivanka in disbelief.Wow! Ivanka sure had guts. She actually announced that there! Did she already find all the evidence?If not, striking prematurely would only make the other side more cautious.Looking at Ivanka, Ivan noticed her calm and emotionless demeanor. He found himself intrigued, even a bit resigned. If only he was allowed to turn on his phone, he would broadcast this live to Michael!But it was okay. He would convey it to him later. He had to show Michael how interesting Ivanka had grown.Ivanka’s words left everyone momentarily stunned. Theodore, upon reaching the courtroom,

    As the recording was about to be played, Theodore quickly looked at the judge and spoke anxiously, “Your Honor! Everything she said is false. I never did any of those things. You can’t...”The judge frowned slightly. Clearly displeased with Theodore’s outburst, he still responded formally. “True or false, since evidence has been presented, it must be examined.”Theodore felt helpless.What was he supposed to do now?He could not tell whether Ivanka’s recording was real or fake. They had indeed said a lot about wanting to get rid of Fernando. What if Ivanka had actually recorded them?At that moment, he was truly panicking.He immediately turned to his lawyer. “You need to figure something out, now!”The lawyer looked like he was about to cry. In a low voice, he said, “Mr. Theodore, there’s nothing we can do now. Whether the recording is real or not, we have to listen to it first, and then we can refute it afterward.”Theodore gritted his teeth. He could say nothing more.The j

    “Just thinking about how I’ve had to bow and scrape in front of them all these years makes me so mad!”Lyla could not help but chuckle softly. “It’s all in the past now. We’ve finally reached the light at the end of the tunnel. All these years, I’ve done nothing but cook for them while trying new dishes every day. I’m sick of it. But thank goodness, he’ll be dead soon, and Lane’s Group will be ours.”“Exactly! The light at the end of the tunnel!” Chiara snorted again.Theodore laughed. “These past two years, you’ve worked hard playing along with me. Once the shares are entirely mine and I become the chairman, I promise you’ll never have to suffer again!”“Dad, you’re brilliant! But what about Fernando’s medicine? Should we put it away later?”“Hmph, no need. It’s just a regular supplement. There’s no harm in taking it. No one knows about Fernando’s allergy and how it reacts with this supplement, not even his best friend Thomas.”“But we should still be careful.” Chiara sounded a

    “Rubbish! That never happened!” Theodore bellowed, but because his microphone had been muted, no one far away could hear him.Some nearby could hear, but nobody paid him any attention.Everyone was too shocked by Ivanka’s revelations.Theodore, his wife, and his daughter had committed such a heinous act!They were incredulous, yet they also realized that such things could happen in the world because that was human nature!Many people, driven by greed for inheritance, would stoop to any means.They would hurt their own family and friends. Those devoid of conscience were capable of anything.No one paid attention to Theodore. No one even wanted to look at him anymore. They all stared in Ivanka’s direction. They waited for her to continue speaking.At that moment, Ivanka stood up and picked up the documents she had placed on the table.The crowd suddenly realized something was different.Normally, when Ivanka was in court, she never brought any documents. She relied solely on he

    In the courtroom, everyone’s expressions were strange. It was as if they had just watched a thrilling drama but had not received the ending. It left them itching for more.However, with the judge gone, they were at a loss.Ivanka stood up. She knew well that today would not end here.Seeing everyone else rising, she had no intention of staying longer.Sandy and Suki also stood up. Their excitement was evident as they hurried toward Ivanka.Sandy, in particular, was visibly energized. She was eager to find out what was written on the documents Ivanka had just submitted.At the same time, she was genuinely curious about how it would end for Chiara and her family.However, Sandy could not directly ask about it here. She merely urged Ivanka to leave quickly.As they took only a few steps, they heard a voice behind them, simmering with suppressed anger but pretending to be calm.“Ivanka.”Ivanka halted. She turned to face the person addressing her.Sandy also glanced over. She co

    Ivanka paused. She turned to look at him.Seeing an opportunity, Theodore felt relieved and said, “Come on, let’s eat first. It’s just dinner. You don’t have to worry about being poisoned.”Sandy glanced at Ivanka with concern. Seeing that Ivanka seemed to consider going, she turned to Theodore with a cheerful smile and said, “Oh, Mr. Theodore, I’m feeling hungry too. Since you’re treating Ivanka, you wouldn’t mind if I join, would you?”Suki chuckled. “That’s right, I’m feeling a bit hungry too. Why not bring me along?”Theodore’s expression darkened slightly. He only wanted to speak to Ivanka alone.Just as he was about to refuse, another voice came from behind them.“You girls are right. I’ve been starving all day too. Mr. Theodore, would you mind if I tag along?” Ivan’s tone was nonchalant and roguish. Theodore’s expression carried mixed emotions.He could easily refuse Suki and Sandy, but this person... He did not dare to turn him down at all. It seemed there was no room fo

    Egbert stormed off in fury, but Sandy’s rage had not cooled in the slightest. She even lashed out at Ivan. “You shouldn’t have stopped me just now! If I’d given him a good scolding, or even a beating, maybe it would’ve finally knocked some sense into him. Otherwise, he’ll keep coming back. He’s always trying to use me for his own purposes!”She was so angry she was practically grinding her teeth. Ivan pressed his lips together and let out a long sigh. “With the way you looked like you were ready to kill someone, what did you expect me to do? Just stand there and watch you commit murder?”He was really worried when he saw how Sandy was losing control. “What’s the point of that old b*stard still being alive anyway?” Sandy said coldly. If she could really get rid of that old man, she would do it so she could avenge her mother and let go of that grudge she had been holding on.Ivan shook his head and said in a low voice, “Then think about it, how hard did you work to get to where yo

    Sandy exploded. “Eighty million? Why don’t you go rob a bank? Or better yet, see if that wrinkled old face of yours is worth anything as collateral!”Sandy was fuming.Egbert had not expected Sandy to be so vulgar. He turned back, enraged.His black eyes shot daggers like he could rip her apart on the spot. Sandy did not flinch. Instead, she lifted her chin and gave him a cold, mocking smile. “What? Are you so mad that you’re thinking about hitting me? Do you want me to remind you of the law? We have no legal ties anymore. If you so much as touch me, that’s assault. And let’s not forget, you barged into my workplace to cause a scene.”“Sandy, I don’t know what kind of twisted morals your birth mother and adoptive mother taught you, but just look at yourself now! Do you even resemble a proper human being?”Egbert was extremely disappointed in Sandy. The one thing Sandy hated most was when people brought up her birth mother and adoptive mother. Those two women were the most import

    Egbert snapped at Sandy coldly. His gaze was pressing.However, that had no effect on Sandy. Her lips even curled into a mocking smile as she said, “I’m not one of your McNeil pets. That look, your words, they cannot intimidate me at all.”At the mention of “pets,” Egbert was so furious that he slammed his cane against the floor with a loud crack. “Listen to yourself! Is that any way for a lawyer to speak? Do you even understand the meaning of respect, decency, and manners? Is that how your mother raised you?”Sandy had been mean and harsh on purpose to kill whatever sliver of hope he held onto.Just as she wished, he was angered.Watching him lose his composure, Sandy even felt a flicker of satisfaction rise within her. Her mother and herself were thrown out and lived a tough life while her father stood by uselessly. Who else was to blame, if not this old man standing before her?“My mother raised me to be a decent person. She taught me never to push away what’s rightfully mine,

    Thomas stated his purpose.Sandy’s reaction, however, was full of repulsion. She frowned. Even her tone was curt. “Uncle, I made it very clear about seeing him the last time we spoke. He never once considered me part of the McNeil family. If it weren’t for my mother taking me in, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Now that I’ve grown up and suddenly seem useful, he wants to claim me back? I was abandoned by the McNeil family the moment I was born. I’m not stupid enough to become a pawn for your family!”Sandy was furious.She had always treated Thomas with a certain courtesy, but at the moment, that line had clearly been crossed.Thomas, though only the messenger, could feel the weight of her resentment. “It may not be as bad as you think. If you won’t go, Dad will come find you himself.”That was the truth. Yet Sandy did not spare the old man a shred of respect. She scoffed. “He might be your dad, your head of the family, but he’s nothing to me. From the moment I was abandoned, th

    Sandy was really surprised to see Ivanka. “When did you get back?”“Today,” Ivanka answered honestly.“You have quite a packed schedule for just one day.” Sandy teased her.When they had planned to take down Coco last time, Ivanka was not around. Then Michael returned. From what Sandy could tell, they were always either together or closely following each other.Ivanka did not respond to her teasing. “I’ll only be here for a day or two, then I would have to leave again.”Sandy was speechless. She rolled her eyes at Ivanka. “Are you going to become a full-time jet setter?”“She can’t help it,” Anna answered for Ivanka. Just as she finished saying that, Anna’s phone rang. It was another case to follow up on. She had to step away to take the call.Only Ivanka and Sandy remained in the office. “You look exhausted. If you keep going like this, I’m worried you’ll wear yourself out!” Sandy shook her head and expressed her concern for Ivanka. Ivanka chuckled. “I wouldn’t go that fa

    When she heard what Anna said, Ivanka immediately teased. “Why, can’t I even come to the firm?”“Well, of course, you can come. You are an important partner; why can’t you come?” Anna laughed and looked at Ivanka, annoyed. Immediately after, she made a cup of tea for Ivanka.The tea was also of fine quality. She had bought it.Ivanka also remembered how she, Anna, and Sandy, the three of them, used to work hard together in the firm after she divorced Michael. Originally, she wanted to live on her own. However, one thing happened after another, and her plans got delayed. “I don’t see Sandy. Has she gone to handle cases?” Ivanka sipped a mouthful of tea, and immediately after, she asked Anna about Sandy’s whereabouts.Anna told Ivanka truthfully. “Sandy recently took over a very tricky case. She wants to make a not-guilty defense for that person. But the father of the deceased is the Groethe family, a rather prestigious family in Bostone. How could a commoner fight with a rich ki

    But as time went on, things happened one after another. While they were in contact with each other, she also slowly understood Jonah’s personality.The most important thing was that Jonah was also honest with her later on.When Jonah mentioned this again, Ivanka could not help but scrutinize Jonah again.He was starting to become unhinged!“Jonah, you need to stabilize your emotions. Sometimes, when you feel impatient, you should just close your eyes and take a good rest. You should not have such emotions.”Ivanka spoke solemnly toward Jonah and advised him. When he saw Ivanka’s serious expression, Jonah instantly also realized that he had lost himself.Ivanka was not like Chiara, who could accept him losing control. If he lost control in front of Ivanka, it would affect Ivanka’s mood. That would make him courting death too! This would put a halt to all his opportunities!Jonah also realized this problem. He was very distressed. He could not even explain why his emotions had

    When Ivanka said this, she pressed her hand on Jonah’s shoulder. There was no other meaning, she wanted Jonah to calm down.But this instead gave Jonah an opportunity. He grabbed Ivanka’s wrist. Then he tugged forward forcefully… Ivanka was caught off guard, and her whole body fell on top of him.He then took advantage of the situation and held Ivanka in his arms.The faint scent entered his nose, Jonah was intoxicated for a moment.But at that moment, he felt like he was waking up from a dream.Ivanka could not be so intimate with him. The sensations of touch and warmth in front of him were so real again. It was not an illusion, it was his compulsion!After realizing this, Jonah hurriedly pushed Ivanka away. He even more quickly apologized to Ivanka. “Iv, I’m sorry. I lost control. I didn’t mean to…”“I know.”Ivanka uttered softly, but her tone was cold.She knew. Neither did she blame him. But why was she using that tone, with that look on her face?“No, Iv. you’re blami

    “Jonah, I don’t like you. I told you, I only see you as a friend. When I’m unwilling to do something, no amount of moral coercion would work on me.”Ivanka spoke up bluntly. She did not want Jonah to cling to something impossible.Jonah was silent.This was where Jonah and Michael were different.“Look, you still have so many things to do. By the time you remember me, we have already missed the best time. This time when you leave, did Michael go with you?” Jonah raised his eyes to meet Ivanka’s. He wanted to hear Ivanka’s answer from her mouth.Ivanka did not reply. But the look in her eyes already said it all.Her silence confirmed it all.Jonah felt that his heart grow incredibly heavy at the moment. He had a crazy thought: Was it true that if Michael died, Ivanka would be able to focus all her attention on him?However, he was an invalid and did not even have a chance to get close!“The way you treat Michael and the way you treat me has always been so different.
