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. She flinched back in response to Kate's sudden unexpected drenching, her eyes widening in shock. The liquid splashed across her perfectly contoured face, sending her makeup streaming down like a ruined canvas.As her smeared makeup slowly cascaded down her face, it revealed her true complexion beneath the facade.The next second, there was a loud chorus of shocked murmurs from the audience.

"Ha ha ha!" Susan slumped her back on the sofa as she burst into a fit of laughter. Her shoulders bounced with each guffaw, and tears pricked at the corners of her eyes. "Oh my god, Kate's finally done it!" she exclaimed, wiping tears from her cheeks. "I've been waiting for this moment since the beginning of the show!" She said, glancing at Ivy, who had a triumphant smile on her face. Ivy poured champagne into the two glasses on the table, her smile never faltering. "This calls for celebration," she said, her voice dripping with satisfaction as she passed a glass over to Susan. Susan accepted the glass, clinking it against Ivy's. "To Kate's epic takedown!" she toasted, taking a sip. Ivy chuckled, her eyes sparkling with amusement; she had been holding back her laughter ever since, but now she could no longer contain it. Her hand flew over her face as her head drooped down, her shoulder bouncing up. "Come on, laugh out loud! Why are you holding back?" Susan gently slapped her

"All thanks to you.....Chris," Kate whispered, her voice barely audible as her eyes were fixed on Chris, whose gaze was intently focused on the windshield. An imperceptible smirk curled up his lip as his eyes flickered, but his gaze didn't meet Kate's. Instead, he stared ahead, his smirk growing ever so slightly. He felt a surge of satisfaction, knowing his plan was unfolding perfectly. Kate had taken the bait, and now she was exactly where he wanted her. He had appeared at the perfect time to pick her up at the entrance of the gala venue, which was part of their arrangement in order for her to escape from the media's probing questions, as they would want to find more information to add to the story. "You're amazing, Chris," Kate said, her voice filled with gratitude as she ended the call with Ivy, a warm smile still on her face. "I couldn't have done this without you." Chris smirked and nodded slightly, his eyes never leaving the road. "It's nothing," he replied, adding, "You did

"Irene, you okay?" Dave quickly wrapped his arms around her as Ethan guided her into the car. Dave's face was filled with concern, yet his eyes flashed with a hint of anger as Ivy's words were like a constant taunt in his head. After his conversation with Ivy—more like an argument—he swiftly hurried to Irene's location to get her out of the situation.Irene didn't respond; instead, she just relaxed onto the leather seat, her eyes fluttering closed. She took deep breaths, her chest heaving as she fought the urge to break down.Tears pricked at the corners of her eyes, but she refused to let them fall. The tension in her body began to dissipate, yet her anger simmered, overshadowing her exhaustion.Ethan, who was seated in the front seat, tilted his head back. His concerned gaze lingered on her face before he returned his attention to the road. "Calm down already; we'll figure this out," he assured, but suddenly Dave snapped, his eyes blazing with anger.

Ivy lounged on her plush bed with her head nestled in Zack's lap as she spoke into the phone. "How does it feel to be stabbed in the back, sister?" she purred, a sly smile spreading across her face. "I bet you're fuming right now.""You think destroying my reputation will make me stop?" Irene's voice came out sharp and stern. "You have no idea how far I'm willing to go to make you regret."Ivy crossed her legs, swaying gently, her expression bored as she listened to Irene's empty threats. "Oh, I'm scared," she taunted, pretending to shiver. "Irene, you're so predictable."Zack's fingers traced gentle patterns on Ivy's scalp as he listened to their conversation. His face was blank, yet his eyes sparkled with amusement."As I go down, I'll take you down with me." Irene's furious response was palpable, even through the phone.Ivy just rolled her eyes at Irene's empty threats; it seemed that retaliating was all she could do, and it was obvious based on her current situation.

As Ivy's screams echoed through the cemetery, Steve's face turned pale as he had become the center of attention. Ivy's words about him being a killer sent the mourners murmuring, whispering among themselves. Zack continued holding Ivy back, with Irene later stepping in. The fire in Ivy's eyes continued to burn fiercely, something Steve had never seen in her eyes before. This wasn't the same sweet, innocent daughter he used to know; he usually compared her to her mother, but Ivy had proved to be different—a drastic gap that sent his head spinning. He could no longer keep his cool; neither could he stand the scene unfolding, so he silently slipped out of the crowd, casting a brief yet menacing gaze at Ivy. "Ivy, please! Stop!" "You are not thinking clearly..." Zack and Irene's words faded into the background as Steve made his way to his car and slid into it, as though trying to shut himself off from the world. He couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that lingered inside him. Ivy
Married To My Ex Billionaire Uncle Chapter 240: The object of her fury
The sky was a deep, foreboding gray, as if it too were mourning the loss of Judy. The air was heavy with the scent of damp earth as Ivy walked behind the hearse, her eyes fixed on the polished wooden casket adorned with a spray of white lilies, Judy's favorite flowers.As they reached the gravesite, the mourners gathered around, their faces etched with grief and sorrow. But Ivy's eyes were fixed on one person alone, one person she wished she could crush, melt, break, or kill if it wasn't against the law. Steve stood in front of everyone else, his face showing the grief more than anyone else. Many would relate, after all, it's his sister that died, but Ivy saw through that facade. It seemed Steve enjoyed killing; he should start bracing himself for his own death!"Ivy. Ivy! Snap out of it, okay?" Zack called, pulling Ivy from her thoughts. "Don't cause a scene, at least not now."Ivy didn't even realize her face was scrunched like a ball that had been crushed by a hydraulic press. She
Married To My Ex Billionaire Uncle Chapter 239: She is gone
Ivy trudged through the front door, feeling emotionally drained. The image of Judy’s lifeless body repeatedly flashed before her eyes as she blinked back the tears that had threatened to fall.She felt like she was drowning, unable to escape the overwhelming ache that had settled in her chest. It stung so much that she could hardly breathe. With a shaking hand, she reached for the sofa, collapsing into it, craving the comfort that it should offer, but it never came. All she felt was numbness that refused to go away. The pain of losing a loved one... it was so familiar, so daunting, bringing back old painful memories. Judy was gone just like that? Now she was nothing more than a memory, one she wished she could bring to life once again. Tears flowed down her cheeks, having lost the will to fight them.She took a deep breath and pulled out her phone to call Zack, the one she could lean on.Zack picked up on the first ring, his voice sweet and casual. "Hey, how are you?"Ivy sniffled, tr

The courtroom erupted into chaos, and Steve's face turned beet red with anger and frustration. He abruptly stood up and stormed out of the room. Ivy watched him go, a mixture of emotions swirling inside her. She felt a sense of vindication, knowing that Jeremy had been found guilty, sooner Steve will be next.Ivy pushed the thought aside and turned to Zack, a smile spreading across her face. "We did it," she whispered, her eyes shining with tears. Zack grinned back, pulling her into a tight hug. As they hugged, Ivy's mind began to wander to Judy. She couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. The call from the hospital had seemed so urgent, so real. What if it wasn't a ruse? What if Judy was hurt? Ivy's smile faltered, and she pulled back from Zack. "I need to go to the hospital," she said and Zack's expression changed from celebratory to concerned. "What's wrong?" Ivy hesitated. "I don't know if the call from the hospital was real or not. But I need to check. What if Jud
Married To My Ex Billionaire Uncle Chapter 237: The Verdict
The courtroom was packed as Ivy and Zack took their seats behind the prosecutor's table. Steve arrived shortly and sat across from her, his eyes cold and calculating. Ivy's heart raced as she avoided his gaze, focusing instead on the prosecutor, who was shuffling through his notes.The judge, a stern-looking woman, entered the courtroom, and the bailiff called the room to order."This court is now in session," the judge declared, her voice firm and commanding. "The case before us today is the state versus Jeremy Hale. Mr. Prosecutor, you may proceed with your opening statement."The prosecutor, a tall, imposing man with a confident smile, stood up, surveying the courtroom before beginning his statement."Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the case before us today is a heinous crime. A young woman's life was almost cut short due to the reckless actions of the defendant, Jeremy Hale. We will present evidence that shows his actions were not only negligent but also intentional."Ivy felt a

The ride to the court felt like an eternity; it was as though the car was moving at a slow pace, which wasn't the case at all. Ivy let out a big gush of air, her mind a whirlwind of emotions. She was determined to see justice served, but the news about her aunt's accident weighed heavily on her heart.She glanced at Zack, who was seated beside her, his expression a mask of calm determination."Hey, you okay?" Zack asked, noticing her gaze.Ivy nodded, taking a deep breath. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just a bit nervous."Zack's eyes narrowed slightly. "I can tell by the way you're playing with your nails."Ivy's expression faltered for a moment as she stared at her hand and realized she had indeed been fidgeting with her nails. She dropped her hand, feeling a slight flush rise to her cheeks. "I guess I am a bit more nervous than I thought," she admitted, trying to laugh it off.Zack smiled reassuringly and took her hand in his. "It's okay to be nervous, Ivy. This is a big day. But you're prepare
Married To My Ex Billionaire Uncle Chapter 235: Serious accident
Ivy stood in front of the mirror, adjusting her blazer for what felt like the hundredth time. She took a deep breath, exhaled deeply, and nodded to herself. Today was the day she'd finally face Jeremy in court and put him to justice.The door creaked open, and she turned around to find Zack dressed in a crisp, navy-blue suit, his tie perfectly knotted. He caught her eye and smiled, his expression confident."You okay?" he asked, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her close."Yeah, I am..." Ivy responded, her voice low but laced with steel. "I'm ready."Zack smiled softly, spun her around, and enveloped her in a reassuring hug. "You're going to do great."Ivy's warm smile faltered as she leaned into the comfort of his shoulders. The silence between them was soothing, filled with the gentle sound of his breathing. But the shrill ringtone of her phone pierced the calm, jolting her upright.She pulled away, her eyes locking onto the screen as she hesitated. The number was unkn

Ivy sat on the edge of the bed as Dr. Harrison examined her. Meanwhile, Zack watched anxiously from the corner of the room, his heart pounding in his chest. "Well, let's see," Dr. Harrison said, his brow furrowed as he checked Ivy's vitals. "Your blood pressure seems a bit low, and you're a bit pale. Have you been experiencing any other symptoms?" Ivy shook her head. "Just nausea and this… this bleeding from my nose." Dr. Harrison nodded thoughtfully. "And when was your last period?" Ivy hesitated, suddenly remembering she hadn't really considered that. "I… I'm not sure. Maybe a week ago?" Dr. Harrison's eyes widened slightly. "Mr. Anderson, I think we should run some tests. Just to be sure." Zack's heart sank. "What kind of tests?" Dr. Harrison hesitated, choosing his words carefully. "Well, given Ivy's symptoms and the missed period, I'd like to rule out a few possibilities. We'll need to do a blood test and a pregnancy test." Ivy's eyes widened in disbelief. "A pre

ONE WEEK BEFORE THE TRIAL The blanket stirred, ripping like a wave, as Zack and Ivy's bodies moved in sync. Their lips were pressed tightly together, their breath mingling in the quiet room. Ivy had her hand wrapped around Zack's neck, deepening the kiss. Her soft moans filled the room. But just as they were getting lost in the moment, the shrill ring of Ivy's phone shattered the intimacy. Ivy pulled away, reaching for her phone on the bedside table, but when she saw who the caller was, she cut the call and let out a frustrated sigh. “Judy again, isn’t it?” Zack asked, irritation creeping into his voice. Ivy nodded and slumped back on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. Judy had been blowing up her phone nonstop, sending her a barrage of texts and voicemails. It had become increasingly annoying by the day, and Ivy felt like just meeting with her and giving her a piece of her mind. On the other hand, she didn’t feel like it, as she knew Judy wouldn’t stop apologizing. “I
