Ivy and her mother returned to Shawn’s house with their luggage. Seeing her mother feeling down, Ivy gently patted her shoulder, "Mom, you should take a shower first. I'll prepare some food for us, and you can eat as soon as you're out."Emma let out a soft sigh, "Let me do it."Her daughter had been busy working, and even when they ate, it was often instant noodles. She hadn't tried her cooking skills, but she didn't have high hopes for them.Ivy supported her mother and guided her back into the room, saying, "Mom, don't worry. This time, I promise it won't be instant noodles."Emma, with her mood also not good, had no motivation to cook. She decided to let Ivy try her hand at cooking this time."Luke, you've had a long day. Can you stay for dinner?" Emma asked Assistant Luke and went into the bathroom after giving the instructions.On the other side, Assistant poured a glass of water for Shawn and spoke in a low voice, "Mr. Tate, although your wife may be a bit groggy, she can at le
Seeing that Shawn remained unresponsive for a while, Ivy added, "If you don't want to give it to me today, it's fine. I'll ask you every day until you give it to me."Shawn's headache intensified. He had always been firm in his decisions at work, but he hadn't expected his grandmother to find someone more stubborn than himself to marry him. Did she really believe that Ivy could save him?Considering the situation and her determination, if he didn't give it to her today, she would pester him every day. Reluctantly, Shawn took out his phone, accessed the case files, and sent the diagnostic report to Ivy.After receiving the document, Ivy waved at him with a cheerful smile. "Go get some rest."Feeling irritated and confused about why he had to endure this, Shawn returned to his bedroom. However, he couldn't fall asleep no matter how much he tried.Suddenly, he sat up at the edge of the bed, staring at the light filtering through the door that was increasingly dazzling. The more he looked
"You!"Bob Alter stood there with a grim expression on his face.He had dominated the business world for half of his life, commanding respect and influence in the city. When had he ever been humiliated like this?"I'm busy. If you have nothing else, just get out." Seeing him stubbornly refusing to leave, Shawn issued an eviction order.Bob Alter was once again infuriated. He picked up his cane and began fiercely pounding the ground, trying to regain control of the situation. He scolded loudly, "I'm your father! How can you talk to me like this?"The man's indifferent eyes stared at his own biological father, who had been cunning and overbearing all his life. There was no trace of emotion on his calm face.Dad...?Was he even worthy?After putting away the final stack of signed documents, the man summoned his assistant and ordered, "Get security in here to escort him out.""Cato Alter!""Get out." The man remained calm and resolute. "I don't want to say it a third time.""You!" Chairma
Andy's romantic escapades had been the talk of the town in the medical industry several decades ago. It was said that after he and his wife had founded H Capital and become wealthy, he began to philander, leading to his wife leaving and disappearing with their daughter after leaving a divorce agreement. She had been gone for decades.Throughout these years, Andy had tirelessly searched for his wife and daughter. However, despite his efforts, they seemed to have vanished into thin air, with no news of them to this day. Andy had decided to focus all his energy on his work and had not remarried."With your capabilities, if you haven't found them, how could I?"Shawn believed that this was ultimately Andy's family matter, and he saw no reason to interfere. Both of them were leading figures in their respective cities, and if news of their cooperation were to leak, outsiders might misunderstand that their two companies were getting cozy."In this matter, only Mr. Tate can be of assistance,"
"Ivy, why aren't you going in?"The voice of Professor Smith came from behind, and Ivy turned to see Professor Smith, whom she hadn't seen in years, walking toward her with a smile.It had been three years, and the professor, who had been immersed in research, now had a few strands of white hair at his temples and a tired look on his face. However, upon seeing his star student, his fatigued eyes were filled with excitement.Ivy was a genius that Professor Smith had never encountered in his half-century of teaching. If not for the mistake three years ago, her achievements would have surpassed his.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of regret.At this moment, the classmates who had been making noise also fell silent.The door to the private room opened, and Professor Smith happily stepped aside to let Ivy in. As soon as she entered, she could clearly see the undisguised aversion and disdain in the eyes of everyone in the room, especially from the one who had been the lo
Upon hearing this, Tanya's face turned as pale as paper, and she collapsed into a chair, her thoughts in disarray.After a moment, she suddenly squatted down, grabbed the wrist of the waitress, and shook it while scolding her, "If you have a fracture, why pretend to be so dramatic? Why not just honestly express the pain?"She attempted to shift the blame onto the waitress, trying to salvage her own reputation.Ivy slapped away her hand, saying coldly, "A patient with a fracture should not make extensive movements or be forcibly moved. Don't you, as a doctor, know that?"Tanya stuttered, "I..."Professor Smith, standing nearby, waved his hand, signaling her to step aside. "Move away, don't hinder the treatment.""Sorry, everyone. I had an emergency, and that's why I'm late."Kevin had just entered the private room and saw the chaotic scene. His expression changed, and he quickly realized what had happened. He approached Ivy from behind and softly asked, "Let me help."Without even lift
The manager smiled and instructed the staff behind to set the wine glasses and fine wine on the table. "Mr. Tate also said that you should all have a great time. Your class reunion tonight is on the house!"Ivy was dumbfounded."Which Mr. Tate is it?" a curious classmate asked the hotel manager.The manager who was actually not aware of who Mr. Tate was, was following instructions from Luke, the executive assistant of Cato Alter. So it was clear that Mr. Tate held a significant position.Thinking of this, the manager smiled and explained, "He's Mr. Tate from DT Investment Group."The atmosphere in the private room suddenly became ambiguous, and people exchanged glances, speculating that Ivy had struck it lucky and married into a wealthy family."Ivy, this is incredible. You're a rich lady now! Aren't you being too low-key?" one classmate exclaimed in surprise."Ivy was very low-key in college. She didn't even want to vie for the title of campus beauty. If she were more high-profile, T
‘Was there a possibility that I'm really a wealthy man?’ Shawn sighed, feeling both irritated and frustrated. ‘Why couldn't this woman understand gratitude?’Although Shawn didn't respond, his heavy and exasperated breathing made it clear that he was quite displeased at the moment.Even Ivy, despite her dense and stiff nature, could sense his annoyance.In fact, she realized he might not be entirely at fault. It was possible that she had been too serious and her tone too harsh.Marriage often brought together two individuals with differing personalities. Maintaining open and timely communication was essential for the long-term success of the marriage.After some introspection, Ivy concluded that perhaps she had been too hard on him. After all, his legs were still in a wheelchair.As guilt began to well up inside her, she knew she needed to say something to console him.However, when she opened her mouth to speak, she ended up saying something entirely different, "Mom made a healthy fo
