Married To My Ex Billionaire Uncle Chapter 170: Chaos
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. The other reporters in the corner were immediately swept off their feet and hurried to the scene. Their camera lenses clicked wildly, capturing the dramatic moment that would never be forgotten in entertainment news. The host stood dumbstruck as he noticed the different shades in Irene's face; though it wasn't overly perceptible, something click

"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. "This is all your fault, Ethan—

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. Alternatively

Chris's words hung in the air like a deadly promise. The silence on the other end was palpable as the voice knew Chris's words were firm and resolute. "Understood," the trembling voice replied. "I'll... I'll ... get him before the police do." "Good." Chris ended the call, his gaze lingering on the dark wall. His mind was racing with possibilities of how Jake would escape his cell. Perhaps he got outside help; whoever it was, he had no idea, but he refused to take the risk of leaving him to roam freely. Jake knew too much, and he couldn't afford to keep him alive. It was either prison or death. "What's going on, Chris?" Suddenly, Kate's voice snapped him out of his thoughts. She had entered the room, her face etched with concern. Chris tossed her a brief glance; his serious expression disappeared, replaced by a wry smile. "Nothing. Go back to bed; we have another round," he said casually, his smile turning sly as he guided her out of the room.*****Ivy's eyes drifted toward Susan,

Ivy stepped out of the bathroom, her hair styled and makeup applied, ready for a night out at the cinema with Anna. They had plans to watch *Tomboy Donna* together.However, as she reached for her purse on the bedside table, her hand brushed against something unexpected—a movie ticket.She picked it up, her brow furrowing in confusion as she scanned the front. "*Tomboy Donna's*" was printed on the ticket. The particular ticket wasn't hers, as she was very sure she had one inside her purse. Then who had bought the ticket?Just then, Zack emerged into the room, wearing a black hoodie that cast a shadow over his face. "Hello, wifey," he said softly, holding out another hoodie. "Put this on."Ivy's eyes narrowed, curiosity getting the better of her. "What's going on?" she asked, a small smile curling up her lips as her eyes sparkled with amusement. "When did you even get back?"Zack's smile widened as he tossed the hoodie. "Come on, quick! We don't want to be late!" he urged her as he gen

As they stepped out of the car, the cinema's cozy atmosphere enveloped them. Soft golden light, plush seats, and the scent of popcorn set the stage for a relaxing movie night. The distant hum, muted murmurs of hushed conversations, and occasional laughter filled the air, building excitement for the feature presentation."Let’s go get popcorn," Zack whispered in her ear as they slowly approached the glass cases displaying an assortment of snacks. With a smile, Ivy wrapped her hands around his arm, pulling him closer as they walked. "I'm so down for that," she whispered back, her eyes sparkling with excitement.As they entered the cinema, Zack and Ivy blended in with the crowd, enjoying the anonymity, making sure their hoodies covered their foreheads properly to avoid unwanted attention. As they reached the concession stand, Zack, ever the gentleman, asked Ivy, "What would you like, my love?""My love?" Ivy raised an eyebrow with a mischievous smile. Then her expression turned thoughtfu

Married To My Ex Billionaire Uncle Chapter 257: The beauty of a new life and living in the present
Zack stared at his tablet for what felt like forever, hesitant. He was finally going to see the one who was behind his accident. But now the weight of the moment pressed down on him. He knew this call could change everything, reveal a face he might recognize, or a stranger he would despise. He wasn't sure he was ready for either.Ivy was by his side, squeezing his arm tightly and encouraging him to do it. "Come on, Finn made this possible for you, so... let’s get it over with," she said, wrapping her arms around his neck and nudging him to tap on the screen."Alright," he said finally, but as Ivy attempted to speak, a loud cry came out from the room."Lucas again," she growled and got up, placing a soft kiss on Zack's cheek. "Be right back."With that, she left, and Zack decided to get it over with as Ivy had said. He tapped on the screen, and there just what he had feared stared right back at him.Those familiar emerald eyes..."Chris. So it was really you," Zack whispered, disbelief
Married To My Ex Billionaire Uncle Chapter 256: Make it happen
THE NEXT MORNING, Ivy and Zack made their way downstairs, luggage in tow, with Lucas giggling in his stroller. Lucas was babbling excitedly, clearly sensing the adventure ahead, and Ivy couldn't help but smile at her little boy's enthusiasm. Although she was still a bit hesitant about leaving, Zack's and Lucas's enthusiasm was infectious.But she had to agree a vacation would benefit them all.Just as they were about to head out the door, Xavier, their butler, rushed in, looking flustered."Wait, please!" Xavier exclaimed. "We have a visitor."Ivy's eyes narrowed, her smile faltering. "Who is it?"Xavier hesitated before responding. "It's... your..." Before he could finish, a voice cut in."Zack has woken up all this time, and you didn't bother informing us," Henry walked in, the old man right beside him.The moment he set eyes on Zack, he went straight to him and hugged him tightly. "I'm so glad you're okay, son..."Zack, caught off guard, returned the hug, a mix of surprise and conf

"Ivy, remember when I took Roy outside?" Zack said, and Ivy frowned. "Yes, of course." "I thought... I thought I saw Chris. Briefly. Just a glimpse." Ivy's eyes widened in disbelief. "Chris? But... he hasn't called since that day..." "Exactly," Zack said, his brow furrowed. "But what if... what if... I don't know...?" Ivy shook her head, dismissing the idea. "Zack, that's impossible. Didn't you say he was an imposter?" "I'm starting to doubt that 'imposter' theory," Zack said. "It's too convenient the way he operates in the shadows... it's shady." Ivy's eyes narrowed, having a hard time processing everything. If he wasn't an imposter, then why hadn't he reunited with Zack? Why was he hiding? "What if... he has a vendetta? Against you?" Ivy sprang from the bed, her head filled with fear gnawing at her. She knew what it felt like to be wanted dead, and now Zack, this childhood friend... if it's true, then it's even worse than she imagined. "Maybe we should tell Finn every

"Lucas, I'm home!" Zack announced as he stepped into the familiar warmth of their living room. Ivy smiled and quickly got beside him. "Careful, Zack," she cautioned, her hand lightly touching his arm. "Remember, you're still recovering." "Now you want me to be treated like a fragile piece of glass, huh?" Zack said with his usual smirk, and Ivy couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Yeah, that's what you are right now." Zack smirked, closing the short distance between them. "Is that so?" Ivy stepped back, a blush creeping into her cheeks. "Zack, this isn't the right place to... you know, do your usual thing..." She then said with gritted teeth, "Maria and Lucas are coming." Zack turned to find Maria smiling his way. She bowed slightly and then placed Lucas on the ground. "There he is," Zack said, his voice softening as he knelt down. He extended his arms, a wide, welcoming smile on his face. "Come here, buddy. Daddy's home." Lucas hesitated, his gaze shifting between Zack and
Married To My Ex Billionaire Uncle Chapter 253: Zack?
"Zack, tomorrow's a big day. Lucas is hitting nine months," Ivy said, her voice soft as she gently ran her hands over Zack's. "Can you believe it? Nine months already?"She tried hard to grin, but what came out was a pathetic smile. "I... started him on complementary foods, you know. He seems to really like mashed sweet potatoes with a little cinnamon. He makes the funniest face when he tastes something new, but sweet potatoes are definitely his favorite."Ivy chuckled, despite knowing that Zack couldn't hear her. The sound was more for her own benefit, a way to release some of the tension and sadness that had been building up inside.But as she looked at Zack's still face, her expression shifted. Her smile faltered, and her eyes welled up with tears.Ivy's sigh turned into a sob, and she buried her face in her hands, letting the tears flow.She had hoped Zack would wake up before their son turned seven months, but now he was nine months, still trapped in this limbo.He didn't get to

SIX MONTHS LATERIvy's hands trembled as she held the phone, Bryan's voice sounding at the other end."Ma'am, we found him last night," Bryan said, his tone gentle but firm. "The driver who hit Zack. We've got a positive ID."Ivy's breath caught in her throat. Six months of waiting, wondering, and fighting for answers. Finally, she was going to get some justice."Who is it?" Ivy asked, her voice barely above a whisper.There was a pause before Bryan responded, "Marcus Thompson. The police are bringing him in for questioning. They're going to push him hard to see if he'll talk."Ivy's grip on the phone tightened. "Will he talk?""There's a good chance he might," Bryan said. "Thompson's got a history of criminal activity. He's been in and out of jail for various offenses. If the police can leverage that, he might be willing to cooperate."Ivy's mind was racing. "How soon can they get him to talk?" She wanted to wipe that smug look off Albert's face.Bryan hesitated before responding, "W

Ivy's car halted in front of the Anderson mansion. It was the early hours of the morning, and Ivy decided to seize this opportunity to get answers.She slammed the door behind her, took a deep breath, and stepped into the mansion. She didn't bother to knock before entering.A sliver of light spilled out from the lounge, the air thick with the smell of stale liquor."Albert!" Ivy yelled, scanning the whole place. "Albert, where are you?"Footsteps sounded, and Henry appeared coming down the stairs, draped in a robe and his hair a bit messy."It's too early to yell," he said, but as his eyes landed on Ivy, a frown settled on his face."What are you doing here?""Where is Albert?" Ivy asked, and Henry's brow deepened."Ivy, why are you here? Shouldn't you be sitting with Zack at the hospital?""Where is Albert?" Ivy's expression turned serious, the one that tells you, "I'm losing my patience."Henry's eyes lingered on her for a moment before finally pointing to a corner."Turn left."Wit

"I never should have let you leave." Ivy whimpered, squeezing Zack's hand, as if trying to coax life back into his fingers. "I should have forced you to eat breakfast... maybe... maybe..."She choked on tears trickling down her cheek... "maybe you would have escaped it..." she sniffled, trying to hold back her tears, but it was no use. The dam broke, and she let out a heart-wrenching sob, her body shaking uncontrollably."How long are you going to stay like this, huh? How long before you wake up..." she mumbled. "It's only been a few hours, and I can't keep seeing you like this..."He had always been the strong one, the rock that held her together when she broke down. But now he was the one who was broken, and she was left to pick up the pieces. All she could do was hope he would wake up sooner.Ivy's sobs slowly subsided as she wiped away her tears and took a deep breath.Her chest tightened, but she pushed through, squeezing his arm with all the strength she could muster."Please w
Married To My Ex Billionaire Uncle Chapter 249: Nightmare
"Shhh, baby, it's okay," Ivy murmured, pacing back and forth in the room with the crying Lucas in her arms. "Mommy's here." The nanny, Maria, sat on the couch, watching them with concern, occasionally standing up and sitting back down on the couch in frustration. Lucas's cries only intensified, his small body writhing in discomfort. He was unusually fussy, refusing his bottle and arching his back in distress. Ivy had tried everything – changing his diaper, offering him a pacifier, singing lullabies – but nothing seemed to make him calm down. Maria got up and approached Ivy. "Let me try, Mrs. Anderson," But Ivy shook her head. "No, I've got him. I just need to... figure out what's wrong." She continued to pace, trying to rock Lucas to sleep. "What's wrong, my little one?" she whispered, her heart throbbing slightly. Lucas usually didn't cry this way for this long. She glanced at the clock, wondering if she should call Zack and tell him about Lucas's behavior. But it would b
