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. Behind him, his assistant want
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
Not long after Shawn went in, Luke received a call.It was from the person they sent to gather information. He said, "Assistant Luke, there are rumors circulating that our Madam is currently a hot candidate for the Rising Star of Tomorrow. Both City A and County A are considering appointing her. As long as Madam doesn't have any issues in the next two months, she will definitely be the Rising Star of Tomorrow."Luke was overjoyed. After hanging up the phone, he shared the good news with Ivy.Contrary to expectations, Ivy didn't react with the calmness and happiness he anticipated. Instead, she furrowed her brows."They chose me probably because of considerations from DT Investments and the County Clinic. DT Investments has invested a significant amount of capital in City A, especially in County A; this is just a transaction."Luke certainly knew that there was more to the story. What he didn't expect was that Mrs. Tate would see through it so clear
