Chapter 128 He Doesn’t Want to Marry Her

2024-10-29 19:42:56"If the air in C country was good, do you think I would choose to live in Australia?" Mrs. Winston coldly remarked. "I've asked someone to bring Owen back to accompany me for a few months."
"No," Ivan decisively refused. "I've arranged courses for him and he can't go to Australia right now.""Ivan, I'm getting old and I need someone with me," Mrs. Winston's tone was harsh but somewhat pleading. "Living alone in Australia, in such a big estate, do you know how I spend my days? I don't expect you to come visit me, I just want one of the two children to come and accompany me for a while. Will you also refuse this?"Ivan fell silent, a rare occurrence.After the two children turned one month old, he sent them to Australia to be taken care of by his mother.One reason was that he couldn't yet accept the sudden arrival of two children, and the other reason was that his mother had longed for grandchildren. Sending them to Australia seemed to fulfill her wish.LittleRelated chapters

"Auntie, marriage should exist out of love," Catherine's lips curved into a smile."Without love, marriage is a grave. Of course, Ivan wouldn't want to build a grave for himself just for the sake of the children."Mrs. Winston shook her head, not saying anything.After so many years in Australia, she had long lost control over her son. Whatever she said had no meaning."Auntie, I really like Ivan's view of love," Catherine suddenly looked down and smiled. "I've known you for so many years, and I hear Ivan's name every day, but it's like I've never seen him before. Do youhave a picture of Ivan?"Mrs. Winston glanced at Catherine.Four or five years ago, Catherine appeared in her life. She would come to see her every day, and she would confide in this twenty-something young girl.Even the misunderstandings between her and Ivan, she had told Catherine everything.If Catherine became her daughter-in-law, then the misunderstandings between her and Ivan would surely be eased because of Cath
Mommy's Revenge Chapter 130 Performance Evaluations
Eva was a 28-year-old master's degree holder who had returned from overseas, with a neat bob haircut that made her look sharp and capable.Mia Moore let out a disdainful grunt. "You've been a manager in the client department for four or five years, and instead of advancing, you've been demoted. Don't you have any grievances?""I follow the instructions of my superiors," Eva replied calmly. "It's an honor for me to be working as Haley's assistant."After saying this, she walked up to the manager's office and knocked on the door.“Knock! knock!”."Coward!" Mia exclaimed disdainfully, "Even with a master's degree from overseas, you don't even know how to fight for your own rights!"Just then, Eva pushed open the door to the manager's office, and Haley heard that sentence clearly.She peeked through the crack of the door and saw Mia Moore, who was dressed unusually compared to others.Why did this person feel familiar?She narrowed her eyes and thought for a moment, finally remembering.F
Mommy's Revenge Chapter 131 This is Not a Nail Salon
Eva walked out of the manager's office with a gloomy face.Mia snorted, "A new boss always wants to take down the previous manager first. Eva, if you want to stay at the DeRoss Group, say a few good words for me. Maybe I'll talk to Emily and persuade her to let you continue at the company."Eva looked at her with a complicated look. "Aren't you worried at all?""What should I be worried about?" Mia sneered. "I'm Emily's best friend, and she listens to whatever I say!"She had been involved in Emily's plot to frame Haley in the past, which meant she held Emily's biggest secret. So as long as it was her request, Emily would rarely refuse.She looked at Eva with a haughty expression. "During your time as manager, you often gave me a hard time. But I let bygones be bygones. If you apologize to me, I'll call Emily immediately."Eva's face darkened.Was it her who gave Mia a hard time, or did Mia deliberately cause trouble for her?She took a deep breath an
Mommy's Revenge Chapter 132 You Are Dismissed
Eva quickly handed over the performance evaluation sheets. Haley opened the evaluation sheet and a cold smirk appeared on her lips. The performance evaluation sheet consisted of internal employee ratings, department manager ratings, and then the administrative department's rating. Mia Moore's scores were less than twenty points in both the employee and manager ratings, but the administrative department gave a perfect score of one hundred points. Every performance evaluation sheet for the past two years has been like this, such a clumsy level of falsification. Or did Emily think that nobody would dare make a fuss about this matter, so they don't bother to come up with excuses to falsify the performance evaluation sheets anymore? "According to the DeRoss Group regulations, continuous three-month underperformance results in immediate dismissal," said Haley coldly. "Now, you can go to the administrative department and collect this month's salary." Mia
Mommy's Revenge Chapter 133 No Waiting for your doom
Emily's eyes grew dark, and her fingers slowly clenched.Expelling her from the boardroom wasn't enough; this wretched Haley even targeted her friends!"Emily, everyone in the company is talking now... They say that from now on, the DeRoss Group will be under Haley's control, and some even say that she's more suitable to be the successor than you..." Mia gritted her teeth and continued, "But it's a shame I can't stay in the company any longer. Otherwise, I would definitely shut up those who speak bad about you!""I won't let you be fired. Just wait and see."Emily hung up the phone, her exquisitely made-up face filled with anger."That despicable Haley, her scheming and cunning are beyond comparison!" Flora clearly heard the voice from the hallway. She slapped the table with a cold expression and said, "Emily, we can't just sit back and wait for our doom!"Emily clenched her lips and said, "Mom, do you think I don't want someone to get rid of that wretch
Mommy's Revenge Chapter 133: The Battle for DeRoss
Emily's gaze hardened, her hands forming fists by her sides.Being ousted from the boardroom was just the tip of the iceberg; now, that vile Haley had set her sights on Emily's allies."Emily, the office is buzzing... They're saying Haley's going to take the reins at DeRoss Group, claiming she's more fit to lead than you ever were," Mia reported through clenched teeth. "If only I could stay with the company, I'd silence anyone who dared to slander you!""Don't worry about your job. I've got a plan." Emily assured her before ending the call, her perfectly contoured face seething with rage."That Haley, she's a snake!" Emily hissed under her breath.Flora, catching every word from the corridor, slammed her hand on the table, her face a mask of ice. "We can't just sit around and wait for the ax to fall, Emily!""Mom, do you think I haven't dreamed of someone taking Haley down? But Keith's got his eyes on us, watching every move the DeRoss family makes. I can't a
Mommy's Revenge Chapter 134: A New Tune
Emily's tactics seemed transparent—pressuring Grandma for support. But Madam DeRoss, despite her reclusive lifestyle, was well-informed about the DeRoss Group's internal affairs through the household staff.With eyes clouded by age but sharp with insight, she addressed Emily, "I'm aware of your withdrawal from the shareholders' meeting and your resignation as CEO. It appears unconnected to Haley's actions."Emily was caught off guard.How could her grandmother overlook Haley's role in the scrutiny Emily faced? It was Haley's arrival that had sparked the investigation into Emily’s financial misconduct.With a mix of indignation and restraint, Emily protested, "Grandma, I admit my mistake and accept my expulsion. But my friend, she’s innocent. She's brought in new clients for two years. Haley fired her upon becoming the manager. Isn't that a direct attack on me?"Madam DeRoss responded with a chill in her voice, "Haley must have had her reasons. She's the client de
Mommy's Revenge Chapter 135 Glittering Ambitions: Emily's Ascent at the Winston Gala
Emily's hand rested on Ivan's arm. This was her first time attending a dinner with Ivan, a moment she had been anticipating for four years. She knew that Keith must have talked to Ivan, which is why this man was bringing her to such an important business dinner. Tonight, she had gone out to dress up. She wore a sparkling ocean starlight gown worth 800 grand, paired with Coco's limited edition diamond necklace. She also carried a unique customized leather bag, making her the most dazzling woman at the banquet. Emily lifted her chin, accepting the gazes of the crowd. People in this circle knew that Ivan did not often attend business dinners, and if he did, he always went alone. This was the first time they had seen Ivan with a woman in public. The DeRoss Group in Cuenca was quite well-known, and coupled with the recent news, many recognized Emily DeRoss as the woman beside Ivan. "When did Emily DeRoss get involved with Ivan?" "Wasn't i

After a thorough read, she folded the document and spoke up, her voice indifferent, "Kid, who drafted this contract?""Our young master did," replied Russell, “Ms. DeRoss, if everything looks fine to you, the contract will take effect once you sign it."Haley chuckled. She was striking, exuding a bewitching charm.And yet, within the depths of her clear eyes, there was a peculiar blend of innocence and mystery.Keith felt his defenses soften and his detachment give way when he saw her smile. It was as if a hole had been poked through his armor of indifference.Realizing too late that he had been staring at Haley for a while, frustration surged within him.This woman must have used that same smile to ensnare Dad and confuse Owen..."I see a problem," she said, her smile vanishing.She leaned forward, a sense of authority emanating from her.Looking Keith straight in the eye, her lips twisted into a disdainful curve, "You should be in school at your age, not out here trying to show off.

Transmedia Tech, an internet media company.Two years ago, there were rumors of its bankruptcy, and after being acquired, it suddenly came back to life and became a leading player in the internet industry.However, there is not much information about this company on the internet.Haley glanced at Transmedia Tech's profile and said lightly, "What time did they make an appointment?""Half past two, at Pennie Coffee."After finishing her work in the morning, Haley drove straight to Pennie Coffee.She arrived ten minutes early, ordered a cup of coffee, and began to read the information on the internet.She searched for the company again, but she still couldn't find much info, and even the investor info behind it had been removed.It can be seen that this company has a lot of connections.She just didn’t know why this company would take a fancy to her newly opened studio.Haley waited for about five minutes before she heard footsteps outside the private room.She straightened her collar an

Keith thought that Haley had also planned to gain the trust of the entire Winston family through Owen. This woman's quite a schemer. Keith knew he had to be cautious......Haley picked up the kids and went home. When she was cooking dinner, she received a video call from Owen."Haley, why didn't you come to see me?" Owen's voice was still weak, "I'm so bored here in the hospital all alone. Could you come keep me company? I want to hear stories..."Haley shook the ladle in her hand, "It's too late today; I'll come see you tomorrow and bring you some cookies I've baked.""You're the best, Haley!" Owen's enthusiasm was palpable.Haley’s lips curled into a smile, "Get some rest now, and don't stay up too late, okay?""How about a goodnight kiss, then?" Owen puckered his lips towards the phone screen, a bandage still wrapped around his head, looking both pitiful and comically adorable.Laughing, Haley pressed a kiss to her phone screen and then ended the call.Carrying the freshly stewed

"The timing is too perfect, isn't it?" Keith said slowly, "Owen got in a car accident, and Haley just happened to be there and then saved him by donating her blood to him. What a coincidence!"His voice was deep and raspy, unlike a four-year-old boy.Ivan's eyes narrowed, "You think Haley staged the accident?""She had a motive," Keith pressed his lips together firmly and continued, "Surely you're aware of the bad blood between Mom and Haley...""It wasn't her," Ivan stated flatly.He had already been briefed on the accident. It was indeed premeditated. Someone had the audacity to target his son. But that someone couldn't possibly be Haley."Dad, are you so certain it isn't this woman when the investigation is still ongoing?" Keith's voice chilled, "What if it turns out to actually be Haley?""She wouldn't hurt Owen," Ivan looked at him with conviction. "She saved your brother; you shouldn't suspect her."Darkness crept into Keith's eyes.His moth

Taking a deep breath, he said, "Don't worry, Mom, I'll have someone look into it. I won't let anyone hurt Owen."After she voluntarily donated blood to save Owen, it's unlikely she'd attempt anything against him again anytime soon..." Emily's voice was husky and choked with emotion. "Now that she's gained your dad's trust, I’m sure she'll make her move... Keith, I’m really scared she’ll hurt you or Owen. I’d rather she came after me...""It won't happen."Keith ended the phone call.He turned to his assistant, Russell, and said coolly, “Check out that car accident near the DeRoss Group building. See what that was all about.”Russell nodded, “Will do, Mr. Winston.”He pulled out his phone and started making calls...Keith instructed his driver, "To the hospital."As the car glided smoothly down the road, they hadn't even reached the hospital when Russell received a call from the traffic police.The majority of the time, Maple Street is congested, w

Keith had been involved in the family business since the age of three.The company under his operation, Transmedia Tech, was a subsidiary that the Winston Group had planned to divest from two years ago.He took over the day before its planned bankruptcy.Now, after a year of shrewd management, Transmedia had become one of the top three most profitable subsidiaries of Winston Group.Keith, having just finished a meeting, felt a nagging unrest.He was usually a calm person, but his current anxiety exposed a vulnerability reflective of a four-year-old child."Young Master, you've pretty much wrapped up all your work for today. Perhaps you should head back and rest?" suggested his young assistant, Russell, with due respect.Keith shook his head.He sensed discomfort.Had something happened to Owen?He was about to reach for his phone to call Alfred when his phone began to vibrate.He glanced at it. The incoming call was from his mother.Ti

It seemed he didn't really mind the idea of marrying this woman...Haley, with her acute senses, caught Ivan's stare and quickly changed the subject.Her eyes shifted to Owen and she spoke with authoritative firmness, “It might not hurt now, but once the anesthesia wears off, you’re going to be in tears from the pain. You’ll understand then just how terrifying a car accident can be! Owen, if you ever want to see me again, just give me a call. I'll come pick you up myself. If you dare sneak out like you did today, I won't come to see you ever again!”Her face stern, she emphasized each word, her tone leaving no room for protest.Tears pooled in Owen's eyes as he looked at Haley with a plaintive expression, “I won’t ever do it again, Haley... I just missed you too much, I couldn't help myself. I just wanted you to hug and kiss me...”His big eyes were brimming with sorrow, making him look like a forlorn puppy.Haley's heart softened, and she bent down to plant

Chapter 181Ivan took a seat on the other side of the bed.He stated calmly, "Alfred, get some sports drinks, please."Alfred promptly went to carry out the request.In the hospital room, aside from the slumbering Owen, only the two of them remained, surrounded by the sterile scent of disinfectant.With a muted voice, Ivan said, "Thank you for this. Whatever you need, just tell me.""I have a soft spot for Owen. I was more than willing to save him, and…" Haley's voice faltered, a slight bitterness on her tongue, "he must have snuck out to find me. That's how he got into an accident..."Her voice trailed off, her gaze lowered, shielding all emotions.Ivan paused before saying, "He's really fond of you."A gentle smile curled on Haley's lips.Looking at Owen resting in the hospital bed, she couldn't help but reach out and gently touch his face. She felt an immediate warmth towards him when she first saw him at the airport. Owen kept coming back

His opened his mouth, about to speak, but his phone began to vibrate in his palm, displaying Alfred's name.The sight of Alfred's name sent a sharp pain through Ivan's heart.Whenever Alfred reached out, it was always a matter of urgency.With Owen in surgery and Alfred calling, could it mean…The typically composed man's fingers trembled, requiring two attempts to tap the answer button."Sir, Owen's going to be alright!" Alfred exclaimed, choked with joy, "The surgery's nearly finished and doctors say he should wake up by tonight if all goes well!"Ivan felt a great relief.He walked briskly towards the hospital, concurrently asking, "How was the blood resolved?"He'd made calls, but a resolution couldn't have come this fast."Sir, you might not know yet, but Miss DeRoss, Owen's aunt Haley — she's got the negative blood type!" Alfred rushed out his words, "When Owen had his accident, Haley was there, she brought him to the hospital, and she volun
