All four members of the family were beautiful and handsome, making the photoshoot a breeze.
So, the family photo was soon completed.
“Ivy, you and your mother go downstairs and have fun. Your brother and I will go and greet the guests. We'll introduce you later when the banquet begins.”
“Alright, Grandpa,” Ivy agreed and went downstairs with her mother.
Andy stopped Dom and instructed him, “Bob Alter, that old man just tried to contact me. He said he has important news to share. I suspect it's about the child in Lilith's belly. You know who the child's biological father is, right?”
Dom pursed his lips. “I know. Jasson Brown, that lapdog, struts around in England but willingly acts as a lackey for DT Investment in City A. He's even messing around with other women. Tonight, he got humiliated, and he deserved it.'
Andy disregarded Jasson; he had figured out the gist from Dom's words. “From what yo
Approaching Bob Alter, the two exchanged polite greetings before shaking hands and posing for several photos in front of the media."Today's dinner will be broadcasted live throughout. Mr. Alter, do you mind?" Andy asked with a smiling face.Bob Alter replied with complexity, "I don't mind. However, will the live broadcast be inappropriate?""Of course not." Andy interrupted Bob Alter without hesitation, his gaze shifting between Kevin and Tanya behind him. "The live broadcast helps showcase the abilities and demeanor of the younger generation."As the conversation unfolded, Kevin approached Andy, creating a sudden cold atmosphere.Kevin felt that Dom was not easy to get along with, even through video conferences. But compared to Cato Alter, he seemed more approachable. Cato Alter was dangerous and especially vulgar, like a nouveau riche.Thinking of this, Kevin adjusted his clothes and extended his hand to Dom, "Dom, we've been online friends for so long; we finally meet."Dom coldly
In the next moment, Shawn gently released her, looking at her in disbelief.At this moment, the servants from the Livingston family shouted, "Miss Ivy, it's time to start."Ivy smiled lightly, cupped Shawn's face, her forehead touching his, smiling foolishly. "Go back quickly. Let's talk more after we're both done being busy."She deliberately emphasized the word "talk," and Shawn's mind raced.It turned out she liked it this direct and wild way."Miss Ivy..."Ivy swiftly opened the car door, jumped out, and turned back to wave to the dazed Jasson and Luke. "Mr. Luke, thank you for bringing Shawn here. I'll go back first..."And then she smiled and went back.After a long time, Jasson finally came to his senses. The corner of his eye glanced at the still-absent Shawn, and he nudged Luke's arm, teasing, "Learn from this, this is what they call handling it!"Then he ran away before Shawn got angry.The car was once again enveloped in a deep atmosphere. Soon, Luke sat in the co-pilot sea
The sound fell, and a commotion erupted among the onlookers.The entire venue fell silent as everyone held their breath, focusing on the Livingston family and Lilith. Only the continuous clicking of cameras filled the surroundings.Tanya was very satisfied with the reactions of the people present. She declared herself as the one who had spoken, casting her gaze finally onto Andy and Dom, waiting for Andy's approval.Unfortunately, Andy had no expression other than a cold face, leaving Tanya discontented. She thought Andy was blaming her for revealing this information without prior notice, and she added, "It happened suddenly, and I didn't consider the emotions of the old master and Young Master Dom. It shouldn't have happened. It's just that my father and I couldn't find an opportunity earlier to inform you of the seriousness of this matter and advise you to end the banquet. So..."At this point, Tanya looked towards Kevin, hinting for him to speak in her favor.Kevin hesitated, "Mr.
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
