Shawn fell silent.

Dom's mouth twitched, a look of speechlessness on his face.

The old man was playing the innocent card quite convincingly.

"Really, Grandpa? Haven't you met Mr. Cato Alter before?" Shawn, feeling helpless, found the lie too unreliable. How could he tell such a blatant falsehood?

"No, never." Andy chuckled awkwardly. "Usually, Dom goes for me. I'm not in good health, so I avoid the trouble. Let the young people handle it."

Shawn gave Dom a meaningful look, silently laughing inside.

The day Shawn's identity was revealed, Dom turned out to be quite a useful shield.

"Since we're all gathered outside, let's go in and rest." Emma smiled, interrupting the awkward exchange, leading everyone into the house.

Emma took Uncle Jim to attend to their duties. Ivy sat on the couch, reviewing patient records on her laptop. The other four grown men sat around, stuck in an uncomfortable situation.

    Dom regretted his words as soon as they left his mouth. This was because he clearly saw the amusement in Emma's eyes and a dark figure lurking in the corner.‘Unbelievable! Why did I have to encounter this family!’"Alright, alright, not many, just a few, three to be precise," Emma reassured him with a smile. "You're used to handling big occasions; you can handle this.""Three?" Dom was dumbfounded. "One at a time? Please... If news gets out that I have three blind date at a time, my reputation will be ruined."Emma gently smiled at him, "Don't worry, Shawn's three female colleagues are all from wealthy families, gentle and elegant.""I don't like gentle and elegant," Dom muttered silently. As he saw the dark figure leaving at the door, he suddenly looked at Emma, "Do you have other daughters?""Huh?!" Emma was stunned, smiling with curved eyes. "If I had, I would want her to marry you. These years, with my

    Ivy was chatting with her grandfather. Feeling a sudden chill down her back, she turned instinctively to see Shawn speaking with his assistant with a dark expression. "What's wrong?" Ivy walked up to Shawn, softly asking. Shawn let go of the deep frown on his face and smiled at her. "Nothing. Just now, Luke told me a ghost story, but he told it poorly, so it didn't work. A waste of a ghost story, so I'm not very happy." Luke raised an eyebrow on the side, echoing, "Look at my clumsy mouth." That Catherine, was she just a ghost story? "You guys go ahead; I'll go chat with Grandpa." Knowing that her boss and madam had something to discuss, Luke obediently left. Ivy poured a glass of water for Shawn, noticing the lingering gloom in his eyes. She asked, "What happened, really?" Shawn gently held Ivy's hand and played with it. After a while, he explained the ordeal of the Jones family in Northern Myanmar. Ivy took a while to come back to her senses after hearing it all. "So, only

    Andy felt like a scumbag now. He used to be a scumbag towards Ivy's grandmother, and now he's being a scumbag to two young boys.This relationship issue is really complicated."After this, don't introduce anyone to him anymore. It's useless." Andy sighed, turned, and went back to his room to rest.On this cruise ship, only Ivy seemed unaware of what had happened.She kept pestering Shawn to tell her, but as soon as she asked this question, the man turned hostile."In the future, you're not allowed to be alone with Dom anymore!" he reminded her before disembarking the ship.Ivy found it strange, "Why? He's my brother!""He doesn't see you as a sister," Shawn's voice was displeased.Ivy blinked, laughed, "Who told you? Uncle Jim? I don't know why, but he always wants to return H Capital to me. He doesn’t see me as his family.""You!" Shawn was infuriated!This woman, why is she so clueless?"Shawn, what's wrong with you?" Ivy looked at him innocently, "Are you upset again?!""In your ey

    The assistant in front raised an eyebrow.Quite audacious, daring to flaunt in their hotel. Didn't they know the Garden Hotel is a global brand and a six-star hotel under DT Investment?"I need you to be there in thirty minutes, or else..."Shawn quickly hung up the phone.He took some time to calm his emotions, then waved for Ivy to come over.The person who had been standing at the door jumped up at his call, joyfully and spryly running towards him.Bouncing like a little fox, she no longer resembled the doctor who faced patients at the hospital.Shawn clearly felt that his Ivy had changed.There was a subtle change, no longer constrained, no longer serious, as if she had a hint of the appearance of someone in love.Shawn was very satisfied with this slight change, so he had to go and completely resolve the matter with Catherine. He hoped Ivy could have more moments like today."Do you want to go in with me?" She leaned against the car window, revealing white teeth with a blushing f

    Ivy knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered. Worried that something might have happened to Catherine inside, she called a hotel staff member.The Garden Hotel was under Shawn's jurisdiction, and although the staff didn't know Ivy's identity, they had received instructions from higher-ups. The seemingly ordinary woman in plaid clothes and canvas shoes was, in fact, a significant figure.“Miss Lambert has already left," the female staff member said, wearing a smile but with clear disdain in her eyes. "She has returned to England. If I'm not mistaken, she should be on a plane right now," the female staff member added when she saw Ivy preparing to make a call.Hearing this, Ivy paused for a moment and then silently put her phone back in her pocket.It seemed she would have to wait a few hours before trying again.Thinking about it, she sent Catherine a message, reminding her to let her know she was safe after landing.As soon as Assistant Luke had the IT colleague open Ca

    As the words fell, Dom's body stiffened. He shook his head and said, "What are you doing here?""You're Ivy's big brother. I'm here on her behalf."Hearing that it was Ivy who sent him, Dom's expression improved.Shawn couldn't take it anymore.Ivy was his wife! Why should Dom's emotions fluctuate because of her?"You should know, Ivy is my wife!"Dom was startled. Originally, he was still upset, but now, hearing Shawn assert his dominance, he immediately retorted, "So what? She will divorce you sooner or later."Shawn's face darkened. "What do you mean?""Huh! Do you really think that after your identity is exposed, she can be with you?" Dom sneered. "Just wait, when the time comes for the divorce, I'll work things out...""Get lost!" Shawn felt very unlucky!He came here with good intentions to persuade him, but unexpectedly, this guy was still trying to make a move on his wife. Did he have any conscience?"Let's not talk about the fact that I won't give you this opportunity. Even i

    Cato had been waiting for this call. When he answered, it was no surprise."Cato, do you have time now? Come out and meet me," Bob Alter said, afraid that Cato might decline. He added, "Let's talk about Harry's matter."After checking the time, Cato agreed to meet Bob Alter at the Garden Hotel in City S.Two hours later, at midnight, Bob Alter arrived at the Garden Hotel with a cane.The hotel manager was waiting at the door and took him to the top floor."Please take out your phone, Chairman Alter. We need to search you to make sure no recording devices are brought in," the manager said with a smile.Bob Alter raised an eyebrow, well aware that this was Cato's usual style. However, today, he clearly felt a great humiliation.But what could he do? Cato was the one in power. He didn't even have the qualification to refuse such a search.So, he obediently opened his hands for the manager to conduct the search.After the inspection, he walked into the room.

    On the other end of the phone, Ivy choked back a sob, almost on the verge of tears. "Just now, another group of doctors came in and mentioned a small issue with Grandpa's surgery. They assured us that they would do their best to save him, but they couldn't guarantee success. Mom has fainted, and my brother and I are waiting at the entrance. Shawn, I'm feeling quite scared.""Don't be afraid, I'm coming right now."While soothing Ivy, Shawn signaled Luke to quickly take him to the hospital. It was his fault. He shouldn't have dealt with business at this time."Mr. Tate, don't worry; we'll be there soon." Luke reminded.Shawn continued to comfort Ivy, "Grandpa has good fortune; nothing will happen. I'll be there in five minutes.""Okay, I'll wait for you." Ivy's voice on the phone was weak, filled with helplessness.She had always been accustomed to being strong, dealing with people like Harry who required a thorny response. Suddenly facing this situation, even if she pretended to be ca

    At this moment, Jasson was kneeling on the ground with his hands clasped, and he was shocked to see Ivy's voice call. He almost threw the phone in fear. Trembling, he answered the call, hearing Ivy's voice as if it were celestial music. "Put the phone next to his ear." "Okay." Jasson immediately rose, disinfected himself, and entered the ward. He positioned the phone next to Shawn's ear. Then followed a prolonged silence. It was unclear how much time passed, but Ivy eventually spoke, "Shawn, didn't you say you wanted revenge? Didn't you express the desire to retrieve your mother's ashes from the Alter Group building? Why, now, do you wish to declare your intentions with death? Let me make this clear, Shawn, if you dare to die, I'll become a widow directly. I'll take your money and be with Roland, or better yet, I'll be with Dom. I'll have numerous children with him. When that happens, I'll bring them to your ashes and taunt you." "I went to England to consult Professor Watson on h

    “What are you standing there for? Save him, quick!” Luke was nearly frantic. Watching his boss in such a state, his premonition was extremely grim. The doctors arrived promptly, pushing the bed into the emergency room. The red light lit up, life and death hung in the balance, everything became an unknown. Luke's heart sank to the bottom. This reminded him of the early years when he and his boss had ventured in England. There were several times when his boss was on the brink of death, and he had repeated his unfulfilled revenge, telling him repeatedly, "You cannot die." However, now, Luke could not guarantee that Mr. Tate would be willing to listen to him because his most beloved person was gone. Without the anchor in life, the will to survive could dwindle, and trying to force him to live might harm him. Sure enough, after a day of rescue, a doctor walked out with trembling steps, looking extremely weak. "The patient's will to survive

    Unfortunately, Shawn was still too confident. While he was agonizing over how to win back Ivy's heart, Ivy, on the other hand, had already packed her bags and bid farewell to her family.Emma and Lilith cried with red and swollen eyes, wishing they could turn into pendants sticking to Ivy."Three months, just three months. My child will come out four months later. I don't care; you must come back and accompany me. In case I have a difficult delivery, you can still sign documents for me."Ivy immediately covered her mouth with her hand, "What are you saying? It's so inauspicious. My godson will definitely be healthy."Lilith pouted and kept wiping away tears, "I don't know why I feel so sad. You're obviously coming back, just for three months, but I feel like you're going away for thirty years.""Okay." Ivy was amused by her words, "If you keep talking like this, even my grandfather will cry."Lilith stopped talking, and Ivy hugged Emma, who was quietly sobbing on the side. Feeling emo

    After Jasson left, he called Amy. He had seen this divorce lawyer a few years ago. She had no significant family background but had carved out a path for herself with stubbornness and hard work. She was not to be underestimated. "Get ready, come over, let's discuss the details of the divorce," Jasson said to Amy. Amy, who had initially wanted to start a fight, was instantly pacified by Jasson's words. After setting a time with Jasson, Amy turned to call Ivy. "I've scheduled a meeting with him to discuss the divorce details tomorrow at 10 a.m. I'll bring my team there to create a scene. You and Roland should leave quickly," Amy told Ivy. "Thank you," Ivy replied sincerely. 10 a.m. was the time the nanny went out to buy groceries. At that time, she would dress up as the nanny and leave the Livingston family. Since the day she returned to the Livingston family, Dom had informed her that Shawn's people were watching for the moment she left. So, Ivy had no choice but to choose thi

    Roland felt her anger was inexplicable, "Shawn hasn't done anything wrong, right? It's just that he used the wrong approach..." He shouldn't have said this. The moment he uttered those words, he immediately touched a nerve with Amy. "You understand nothing!" Amy scolded, "I've encountered too many cases like this. Nasty men say and do everything in the name of love, but the premise of love is built on making the other person happy. Look at Dr. Jones, is she happy?" Roland hung his head guiltily. "In the end, this self-righteous, domineering CEO style is just to please himself, to move himself. The woman gains nothing, and yet, because of this foolish behavior, she's forced into internal conflict, wasting time." Roland silently swallowed the tea in his mouth, feeling that something was not quite right. Although Shawn was his rival in love, was he really deserving of such criticism? "Indeed, his personality has some issues, but h

    An hour later, Jasson arrived at the county clinic. As soon as he reached the entrance, Lilith carried a basin of water and poured it directly on his face, turning him into a drenched chicken. "Get lost!" "Hey, don't do this!" Jasson, seeing her pregnant belly, didn't dare to resist. "Put down the water bucket, be careful with your belly!" Lilith was still not satisfied. "Alyssa, go!" Without a second word, Alyssa also poured the water from the basin on Jasson's face. Patients and their families on the road stopped to watch, shocked. It looked like a disturbance, but not quite. "Quick, stop it, come with me." Jasson grabbed Lilith's hand and walked towards the clinic, but Lilith resisted and shook him off. Helpless, Jasson, afraid that something might happen to her, directly lifted her horizontally and rushed into the emergency room. "Doctor, my wife is having a premature birth, move aside, every

    At this moment, in the hospital room, Shawn had just finished surgery and was feeling weak. He hoped to listen to the work report and then rest. However, Assistant Luke, to express his dissatisfaction, dragged out a half-hour report into a three-hour one. Closing the laptop, Assistant Luke concluded, "Above is our report. As the executive assistant to the CEO of DT Investment, I will take a half-day off." Shawn nodded in agreement. However, after waiting for a few minutes without Assistant Luke leaving, there was confusion in Shawn's dark eyes. Assistant Luke said, "In the next period, Lawyer Brown and I will jointly criticize Mr. Tate in our private capacities." Shawn: "..." "Shawn, are you really not cherishing your life?" Jasson was the first to speak, "Being kidnapped is such a serious matter. Instead of thinking about protecting yourself and minimizing the harm, you're hurting yourself. What's going on in your head!" Shawn

    By evening, after completing her statement, Ivy walked out of the room. Lilith and Emma were waiting outside. "Are you okay?" The two of them anxiously looked around until they were sure that Ivy was safe before finally letting out a sigh of relief. Ivy shook her head and asked Lilith, "How is he?" "He's fine." Lilith couldn't hide her joy. "Just now, Jasson sent a message saying he has woken up. After he fell into a coma, someone set a trap for DT Investment, exposing his identity to the public and spreading rumors about his time in England. They were trying to short-sell DT Investment. Fortunately, Assistant Luke and Jasson stabilized the situation. Now, we're just waiting for a counterattack." Hearing this news, Ivy's suspended heart finally settled. Looking at her mother's tender gaze, she felt apologetic. "I'm sorry, Mom. Because of Shawn, Grandpa's banquet and the foundation's establishment ceremony were postponed again and again. It's r

    Andy and Dom stood at a distance, looking at the mother and daughter with a sense of sentimentality and bitterness. "This Cato has offended me!" Andy fiercely poked the ground with his cane. "Letting my Ivy exhaust herself like this every day. Even if Ivy forgives him in the future, I won't!" With that, he turned around and glared fiercely at Luke, then turned and left. This look almost sent Luke away. He had been with his boss in the business world for so many years, witnessing countless ruthless characters and glares, but he had never been so afraid before. Mr. Tate... is in danger! Just as Luke was afraid, the surgical lights dimmed. Shawn was the first to be pushed out. Ivy, with red eyes, ran to the bedside, looking at him weakly unconscious, feeling heartbroken. Several lead surgeons walked out afterward, taking off their masks. They all looked tired but visibly relieved. "Fortunately, everything is safe. Please r
