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
"After you start working, you just need to sit there until it's time to leave. Occasionally, to deal with inspections, you may need to pretend, but these are minor things, happening only a few times in a few months."Kara explained it thoroughly, capturing the interest of Grandpa and Grandma Jones.Doing nothing and receiving so much money every month—what's not to like?Amara, however, held a skeptical attitude toward this matter. She questioned Kara, "How long have you been working there?""Two years," Kara answered sincerely. "Even when I was pregnant and gave birth, they didn't fire me. You see, isn't it good?""What a fantastic company!" Harry's parents clapped their thighs, happily dancing."Kara, quickly go and ask when we start working."Kara nodded. "I'll go back to the company now. Wait for me; I'll have news soon."The Jones family practically half-carried Kara out in front of Amara, who wanted to protest but w
Everything was developing according to the expected arrangements. While Ivy was busy with the clinical trials for her patients, Harry and his family were arranged to join the company mentioned by Kara.The company was named "Happy Commune."Just the name itself suggested a very happy place."Amara, rest assured, I won't marry Harry. I'll only accompany him with the child. If you don't mind, you can treat me as your best friend."Because she didn't care at all who Harry loved, Kara wasn't worried that Amara would be unhappy. She tried to be as humble as possible, hoping that Amara would stay.Because President Alter said, everyone in the Jones family, except for the child, couldn't run away!When Amara heard Kara's words, she was stunned.She looked at the seemingly innocent and foolish woman in disbelief. "Do you know what you're talking about?"In this world, who would willingly share their man with another woman?No, K
