When Lisa lifted her head, she saw her entire family tied up in the center of the sofa."What are you going to do?! What are you going to do?!""Our boss is disabled, unable to walk. What he despises the most is that those who harmed him in the past can still live freely with their families while he is handicapped.""What does that have to do with me?! Let my family go!" She shouted with all her might, but her accusations seemed to fall on deaf ears.Inwardly hesitating for a moment, Lisa almost blurted out the truth.However, she quickly dispelled that thought. The truth was her cash cow. Once exposed, she wouldn't receive money from the Alter family anymore, and her standard of living would plummet.Thinking of this, Lisa clenched her teeth and refused to compromise. "Since you don't fear breaking the law, go ahead. I don't believe you really dare to do anything outrageous!"“What?" Assistant Luke sneered, laughing at Lisa's stupidity.Mr. Tate drew on his extraordinary willpower to
"Why are you here?" Ivy, who was originally accompanying her grandfather, was surprised to see Shawn quietly appear by her side. She quickly led him out of the hospital room."Where's Assistant Luke?" Perhaps guessing Shawn's identity, Ivy felt a bit uncomfortable.Avoiding eye contact, she felt a bit annoyed inside but didn't express it."He's handling something. I came on my own.""Then you should have brought someone with you." Ivy said. In the next moment, Shawn's hand had already grabbed hers.He placed her hand on his face, lifting his profile slightly and rubbed against it."There's been some trouble, and I couldn't wait to come see you." He explained, and the warmth from her palm eased the icy chill in his heart.Feeling the cold emanating from his entire body, Ivy subconsciously touched his other cheek and forehead. "What happened? Are you running a fever?"Following that, her body fell into his embrace. Ivy was startl
Luke quickly brought Shawn back to the hospital, coincidentally seeing the Livingston family discussing the venue for the banquet."I still think the banquet should be held in City A. Going to City A for no reason doesn't seem to fit the theme," Emma said with a serious expression. "Moreover, Grandpa has been through a lot of hardships in the boat and car; it's not good for him.""Oh, what's wrong? I can take a helicopter and be there in a few minutes," Andy didn't care at all. Ever since Dom told him about Shawn's plan, his gossip-loving heart was instantly ignited.In any case, he had to go!At this moment, Dom closed his computer and said, "It's more suitable to have the banquet there. We should advertise H Capital to City A. Everyone there knows about it now, right, Shawn?""Ah!" At that moment, Shawn was busy hugging Ivy. When he heard Dom mention him, he came back to his senses and smiled at Ivy. "I'll listen to Ivy!"As the words fell
Kevin arrived at the coffee shop next to Alter Group, specifically using his identity as the future heir of Alter Group to choose a bright yet quiet spot.He initially thought about renting the cafe for half a day and clearing out all the customers. But on second thought, if all the customers left, who would witness his love with Ivy?Ivy... Did she come to seek reconciliation?If she really spoke up, how should he respond? He should be excited, jumping three feet high.No, he must manage his facial expressions, must maintain the demeanor of a wealthy young master.Kevin waited nervously in the coffee shop for Ivy's arrival.An hour later, the coffee shop door opened, and Ivy entered expressionlessly.Kevin excitedly waved at her and stood up to pull out a chair for her."Ivy, over here," he softly guided Ivy, gesturing for her to sit.Ivy stood in place, not saying a word for a long time.Her cold water-like gaze
"You’re jealous that I eventually got Kevin, while you can only marry a disabled man?" Tanya exploded in a final fit of impotent rage before hanging up the phone. She was well aware that by hanging up on Ivy like this, Ivy wouldn't be angry but would likely mock her.Mocking her for willingly becoming a bootlicker, willingly throwing her dignity on the ground to be trampled on.But so what!She had no way back.Tanya's eyes turned red, letting the tears wet her eye sockets. She raised her head, intending to endure it, but ultimately failed.A silent "plunk" as tears fell.‘Kevin, no matter what I do, you always look down on me like this. Fine, I don't want this kind of high regard from you anymore. One day, I will make you, and everyone else, kneel and worship me!’The phone rang at this moment. It was Kevin's secretary."Miss Tanya," the secretary's voice was filled with anxiety, with a trembling ton
As the elevator doors closed, Ivy and Lilith both sighed in relief, then shared a smile."This place is so eerie, it's terrifying." After getting into the car, Lilith stroked her pregnant belly, looking scared. "Ivy, I was genuinely worried the negative energy over there might affect my baby."Ivy chuckled and then sank into deep concern. "This situation is too mysterious. I'm worried she might do something outrageous.""Don't worry too much." Lilith waved her hand. "She came to the city clearly looking for a man. It's just that she's now fixated on you..."Thinking of this, Lilith's heart chilled, and she fell into panic. "Ivy, don't come here again in the future. I'm really afraid she might devour you completely.""Let me think about what to do first." After pondering for a moment, Ivy decided to hold her ground.Back in City S, Ivy went to the hospital and, together with her family, picked up Andy to bring him home.In a couple of
Ivy's spirits lifted. "Where is he?" But unexpectedly, Dom put on a mysterious look and glanced at her meaningfully. "Go and ask your dear husband." "Shawn?" The gleam in Ivy's eyes instantly dimmed. Had Shawn captured Harry? Why didn't he tell her? Ivy had some doubts, but they quickly dissipated. Perhaps Shawn might hide things related to his identity from her, but she believed he wouldn't keep anything about Harry from her. With that in mind, Ivy looked deeply at Dom and said, "Tell me." He seemed momentarily surprised by her directness but then smiled. "You really trust him." Ivy replied, "He has no reason to hide this from me; it doesn't benefit him. I trust him in this matter." Dom couldn't keep up the teasing and his mood instantly soured. "Harry is in the hands of the Alter family. As for why it's related to Shawn, you go and ask him yourself." With that, he smiled mysteriously at Ivy and
Just as Kevin finally sent the address, Catherine glanced at it and quickly left with her bag.Soon, on the eve of the banquet, Ivy received a message from the steward of Sunrise Manor, saying that all the procedures for the house had been completed, and it came with three parking spaces.Fully furnished, equipped with everything, almost equivalent to moving in with just a bag.After hanging up the phone, Ivy looked at Shawn in front of her.As the banquet approached, everything was ready. Everyone had finished their work, and things were relatively relaxed, so people were drinking afternoon tea and chatting.Lilith and Jasson were still arguing about the gender of their child. Uncle Jim and Luke were sitting on the side exchanging experiences. Other maids were scattered in different corners, enjoying some snacks.Only two people were still busy working.Two robotic figures, each with a computer, stared at the screen with furrowed bro
