Emma took the microphone and handed it to Ivy. She then held Andy's arm, whispering, "Dad, I'm not good with words, Ivy will handle it well."
Andy nodded approvingly.
Ivy tightly grasped the microphone. Being stared at by so many people, she felt a bit stunned for a moment.
"Hello, everyone, I'm Ivy Rosalia Jones," she said in a deep voice. After her voice sounded, all tension disappeared into thin air.
"I am truly grateful to the heavens for reuniting me with my mom and grandpa. I have also gained a talented young man like my brother. My brother is an outstanding young man..."
Dom, who was daydreaming behind her, suddenly stopped, looking at Ivy's back in amazement.
Why was she suddenly praising himself?
Not a good premonition surged up in his heart.
Sure enough, in the next moment, Ivy said, "In these years, he has dedicated too much to H Capital, with no time for love or marriage. Therefore, I want to thank the uncles, aunts
"Shawn?" She didn't expect that he had already met with Grandpa Andy. "Grandpa, when did you meet him?"Andy was taken aback, realizing the potential trouble.If Ivy found out now that he knew Shawn, and later when that scoundrel's lies were exposed, Ivy would blame him for sure.Thinking about this, Andy said, "It's your brother, he knows him."At this moment, Dom, still in the meeting upstairs, inexplicably shuddered."Chairman, what's wrong?" On the other end of the online meeting, the subordinate had already changed his address.Dom didn't like this address.In his eyes, the chairman should be like a mascot, like the old man.Thinking about this, he frowned and corrected his subordinate's words, "You don't need to call me that internally.""Yes, Young Master.""Continue the meeting."...The news that Emma and Ivy had become part of the Livingston family, the wealthiest family in City S, quickly
Back in the study, Dom opened Shawn's chatbox.They had been friends for four years, probably after attending some official's banquet. There were about a dozen private banquets, everyone adding each other on Whatsapp he couldn't refuse.What Dom disliked the most was this kind of pretentious man like Shawn.It was the 21st century, and someone still demanded that no photos be taken at banquets.If it weren't for the official's promotion at the time, he really wanted to have a fight with him and teach him a lesson about his nasty temper.So, that night, Dom gave Shawn a nickname on it.Pretentious man.Suitable for his status.He quickly dialed Shawn, and on the other side, Shawn saw the incoming call display.Muffled Guy.This was the nickname Shawn gave Dom.Because he couldn't stand Dom's serious and aloof appearance at the banquet. After the banquet, he turned and went straight to the bar to revel, which
Bob Alter had lived for decades, and rarely did anyone dare to treat him in such a lowly manner, speaking to him with such disrespect."Tanya Potts, don't think that just because you're the main doctor at the First Hospital, I won't dare to deal with you. With your background and origin, you offer no assistance to Kevin's future. I can dismiss you at any time!""Alright, dismiss me if you want!"Bob Alter didn't show her an ounce of respect, so why should she be considerate?"You want to let Kevin pursue the little princess of the Livingston family? I'd like to see if Ivy will divorce her husband for that."She disliked Ivy, but she also understood her the best. Ivy would never go back to a scumbag, especially one she had personally discarded!"Dad, in your eyes, Kevin's abilities are far from matching up to the person at DT Investment. But wake up, that person has an irreconcilable hatred towards you. He's systematically besieging the Alter
Harry's eyes suddenly lit up. He suddenly felt that the turning point of the matter could be grasped through his daughter.As long as Ivy was willing to recognize him, he would be considered half a member of the Livingston family. Then, he wouldn't have to endure that dead fat woman, Emma. Thinking of this, Harry sighed, "Thank you for speaking up for Dad. Dad has been wrong before, I...""Dad, please stop." Ivy, afraid she might vomit, quickly interrupted him. "We are family; there's no need for such polite words. Dad, I'm here to take you to see Grandpa. Let's go."After saying this, she was about to pull Harry to leave. At this moment, Lilith rushed in and shouted, "Wait!"She ran to Ivy's side, forcibly separating Ivy's hand from Harry's arm."You forgot what I told you before we came?"Hearing this, Harry suddenly perked up his ears.Ivy pretended to look embarrassed and whispered, "Lilith, don't be like this. I'll use my private
"Grandfather, does Cato Alter have any handle caught by you?" Lilith asked. "Of course!" Andy said happily, "If I asked him to go east, he wouldn't dare to go west!" The triumphant expression on his face seemed as if he already had DT Investment in his grasp. Ivy had no way to deal with her mischievous old man and, after a few comforting words, left for the hospital. Busy with family matters these days, she rarely spent time at the hospital. Fortunately, under the guidance of Professors Erica and Watson, everything was on track. In the past, Ivy helped them and consulted Professor Watson about Shawn's surgical plan. Shawn's second surgery would take place in two months, so she needed more time to prepare to ensure everything went smoothly. "Ivy, Professor Watson will be away for some time. During this period, it's up to you and me. If there's nothing urgent, don't go back to the County Clinic for now," Professor Erica instructed before
For the next two days, Ivy stayed calmly in the hospital. Of course, during lunch breaks, she would check the online news. It was all overwhelming criticism against her and her mother. The County Clinic was also affected. A bunch of media reporters surrounded the clinic, wanting to interview her about her past. Roland was so angry that he called the police on the spot. He had been busy day and night, but he still took the time to comfort Ivy. "Don't worry, Ivy. They'll calm down after a couple of days when you're not here." "Sorry, Senior. It won't happen after tomorrow." Feeling guilty, Ivy had to reveal her plan. After listening, Roland's tired face suddenly lit up. "Alright, alright, Ivy. Tomorrow night, I'll definitely watch the live stream!" After hanging up the phone, the lawyer sent a message indicating that everything was ready. Ivy and Lilith announced their decision. Soon, Lilith's studio released news, stating that they would broadcast an interview with Ivy tomorrow ni
Arriving at the live broadcast room, Lilith took the stage to announce several advertisements. During the mission assigned by the sponsor, she didn't forget to place the miserable-looking Ivy, who was messed up by the makeup artist, beside her.Shawn and Andy couldn't help but feel heartache as they watched.Soon, it was time to reveal the truth. Ivy invited her lawyer onto the stage.The lawyer, with reason and evidence, presented all the proofs—photos, certificates, and more— systematically refuting every claim made by Harry's family.Lilith's studio also simultaneously released electronic versions of the documents.In an instant, the tide began to turn.Fans started expressing their anger by sending gifts, one after another.One user named "DT Investment" sent a whopping 100 gifts, and right after, the blogger "Andy Livingston" directly sent 500.In the hotel, Shawn gestured to Luke, his assistant, to use "DT Investment" to send 399 gifts, one less than Andy.He took pride in his m
The Jones family slumped to the floor. Due to the tense emotions, Harry's eyes were completely bloodshot."Mr. Jones, do you have anything else?" The girl on the phone asked gently, the emphasized smile in her tone seeming to mock his heartlessness.Clutching the phone tightly, anger filled Harry's chest, veins popping on his face."Mr. Jones, do you have anything else?" The girl on the phone asked again.Harry snapped back to reality, the next moment, loudly spat out, "DT Investment, damn you!"Harry couldn't imagine how lively their home would become once the village redevelopment succeeded.This new plan was clearly targeting their family, and if successful, they would be in a precarious situation.With things reaching this point, he had no choice but to find other ways."Harry, what about approaching the Alter Group?" Grandpa Jones panicked, thought of Bob Alter after losing their composure. "Previously, if it wasn't for hi
