Married To My Ex Billionaire Uncle Chapter 163: Hell of a threat
Zack's question made Ivy's brow furrow, her eyes clouding with confusion. She was taken aback, her words faltering."It...can't be..." she stammered, her voice barely above a whisper. "I don't remember... any time..."Her sentence hung in the air, unfinished, as her mind wandered into the depths of her memories. Her gaze drifted, lost in thought.Yet she couldn't piece together any fragment of her memories related to his question."Zack, why would you ask that?" Ivy's voice was laced with a mix of curiosity and wariness. "I've been investigating, and I found out that the photos weren't fabricated," he said before adding, "They were real. He took your nude photos."Ivy's frown deepened. "What?"Zack's pause was palpable, as if weighing his next words carefully. "It seems... they had it for a long time."Ivy's eyes widened as her mind raced with implications. "But why did they use it now?" she asked, her voice higher than intended. "Irene had been desperately seeking a way to ruin my c

As Ivy stood at the kitchen counter, she decided to make the most of the leisurely evening in the kitchen. She had tried shaking off the earlier conversation with Dave, taking her mind elsewhere to avoid letting her anger get the best of her. As she reached for a spice, Zack stealthily slipped into the kitchen, his footsteps silent on the tile floor. Without warning, he glided behind her, his hands wrapping around her waist in a gentle, possessive grasp. "Hello, wifey," Zack whispered, his breath brushing against her ear. "Something smells amazing in here." Ivy's hands stilled as her body stiffened, caught off guard by the sudden proximity. "Zack! You scared me." She breathed a sigh, her eyes sparkling in surprise. Zack's chuckle vibrated against her ear as his grip tightened on her waist. "That's the idea," he whispered, his lips grazing her earlobe. Ivy's tension dissipated, replaced by a warm flutter in her chest. She leaned into his embrace, feeling the stress of the d

Ivy's eyes fluttered open, her mind foggy from the remnants of sleep. But as she reached out, expecting to find Zack's warm body beside her, her hand met empty sheets. Disoriented, she sat up, scanning the dimly lit room.With no sign of Zack, she threw off the covers and got out of bed, listening intently, but the silence was oppressive, punctuated only by the ticking clock on the nightstand."Zack?" she called out, her voice barely audible, but there was no response.She then padded across the room, going straight to Zack's study, expecting to find him there since the room seemed to be his quiet spot, but he still wasn't there."Or did he leave early again?" she murmured, glancing at the wall clock. It was midnight, so it could be possible he was off to something.Knowing he might still be in the house, she sauntered out of the corridor, heading for the stairs. But her eyes caught a glimpse of a particular door, half-open. It was the same mysterious room she had entered the other da

Zack nodded slowly, acknowledging her request. "I had called Susan to release a public statement or grant an interview with the media and explain on your behalf." He paused, ensuring Ivy understood. "But that's just damage control. The real plan is to track down the hacker, gather evidence, and submit it anonymously to law enforcement."Ivy's lips curled up in a smile as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "So you contacted my manager behind my back, sneaked out of the room at midnight, and returned to your interests you had abandoned for years—all of that just to help me." Her smile grew wider as her heart swelled with gratitude. Looking into his eyes, his determination to protect her was palpable.Zack just nodded, wrapping his hands around her waist and pulling her close.In the silence, Ivy's mind drifted. She felt cherished, protected. He'd always been there for her, even when she didn't know it. Even at the start of their marriage, he had always been there; he would emerge out

After the line disconnected, Kate's hand glided down from her ears as she tilted her head towards the man whose face was mere inches away from hers. She adjusted herself on his lap with one hand wrapped around his neck. The smile on her face faded, replaced by a look of adoration as her eyes locked onto his deep emerald eyes—ones that always made her heart flutter in a maddening way she had never felt before. "Why are you helping me, Chris? You barely know me," she said, her voice barely audible as a flush crept up to her cheek. Chris's smirk was almost imperceptible, his eyes narrowing as he tugged the strand of her hair. He didn't respond but gripped the back of her neck, pulling her closer to his face. Their lips poised, and purposely his lips hovered over hers. Kate shut her eyes, awaiting the kiss, but it never came. Instead, he briefly brushed his lips on hers and pulled away. Chris's smirk was now perceptible as he stared at her eyes closed, his gaze wandering over her i

Recalling the events of that night, Kate's smile grew wider, her pulse quickening as she drowned in her reverie - the face of the handsome stranger, his kind gesture. Well, technically he wasn't a stranger anymore now that there seemed to be some chemistry between them, and the more she thought of him, the more she realized just how deeply her infatuation had grown. She let out a soft sigh, glancing at the moving scenery, her mind drifting to the promise he made. She couldn't help but wonder why he would want to help her get revenge. He was the one who had given her an idea of how to expose Irene's true identity to the media. How could one man be so considerate and gentlemanly to such an extent? Why would he invest himself in her revenge? What drove his willingness to help? Was it purely altruism or something more? So many questions clouded her mind.As the city blurred outside her car window, Kate's thoughts continued to linger on Chris as he was still etched into her memory. She f

Kate's heels tapped relentlessly on the floor of the limo, her gaze never leaving Irene's face as her eyes flashed with subtle anger. Once in a while, her lips would twitch as she fought to contain the disgust flaring within her. Just the smug look on Irene's face was enough to make her gag."Why are you being so loud with your feet?" Ethan, who was directly across from her, snapped, his face twisted in irritation. Then his expression changed as if he had just realized something. "Oh, you're nervous because you haven't been on the news before."Kate looked away, concealing the disgust on her face. Ethan wasn't let off among people who ridiculed her; it was a daily occurrence for him to insult her.Irene stared at her blankly; her eyes wandered over her until she caught sight of something hanging on her chest. She pulled closer, her finger pointing to Kate's bosom. "Wait a minute, did you stuff your bra?" she scoffed, her voice laced with amusement.Kate cringed, slapping Irene's hand

Just when the host was getting ready to end the introduction, Kate's fingers closed around the water bottle like a vice, and with a swift motion, she poured its contents onto Irene's flawlessly made-up face.Irene's gasp echoed through the stunned silence.

"It's okay, Ivy. Let it all out. I'm here for you."Ivy's resistance crumbled, and she buried her face in Susan's shoulder, sobbing uncontrollably.

Susan's eyes widened in surprise, but she quickly composed herself and hurried around to the driver's side of the car. "Okay, Ivy, let's get out of here," she said softly, starting the engine.Meanwhile, Anna merely stood by, observing as Ivy's car disappeared into the distance. It appeared that her pleasant chat with Ivy would need to be postponed, as it was clear that Ivy had her own issues to address. Anna sighed and shook her head, feeling a pang of concern for Ivy.

Married To My Ex Billionaire Uncle Chapter 224: No remorse
Ivy blinked incredulously as she stared at her father. Was he being serious? "You want me to lie under oath and perjure myself to save Jeremy's skin?" she spat, her voice trembling with rage.Steve's expression remained impassive, as though nothing else mattered to him. "I'm not asking you to lie, Ivy," he said, his voice smooth as silk. "I'm asking you to... refrain from testifying for the sake of our family, and I promise I'll make sure that after Jeremy serves just a few years, he will never bother you again."Ivy laughed in disbelief. "You're kidding, right? After everything he has done, you want to manipulate the whole situation and lighten his sentence?"Steve's face darkened, and for a moment, Ivy thought she saw a flicker of anger in his eyes. But then, his expression smoothed out again, and he spoke in a tone that was almost... reasonable."Ivy, listen to me. Jeremy made a mistake, okay? He's sorry for what he did, and he's willing to face the consequences. But if you testi

Who could be visiting her now?As Zack opened the door, he spoke in a low tone to Xavier. Ivy couldn't quite make out what they were saying, but she could tell that Zack was not happy.After a moment, Zack turned and walked back into the room, his expression grim as he locked eyes with Ivy."It's your manager."*****Meanwhile, Susan had already made herself at home in the living room, sitting on the couch, sipping a glass of water that Xavier had offered her.As Zack entered the room, Susan stood up, a bright smile plastered on her face.

Zack and Ivy exchanged glances, wondering who it could be. But then Ivy began to have a sinking feeling in her stomach. "I can take a rough guess," she said, slumping back on the bed and mouthing, "Judy." Zack's expression hardened, and he quickly got up from the bed and strode out of the room.

Ivy tossed and turned relentlessly in her bed, her eyes fluttering open to a scene that felt all too real. She was standing in her living room, but it wasn't the warm and cozy space she knew. It was cold and tense, with police officers looming over her dad."Mr. Steve, I'm afraid with the evidence we found, we need to take you in for questioning," one of the officers said, his voice firm but polite.Steve's face was pale with shock, his eyes wide with fear. "What evidence?" he demanded, his voice trembling.The officer hesitated, his expression unreadable. "We can't disclose that right now.
