Outside the door, Luke, the personal assistant, heard his boss's low voice and knew that he was angry. He quickly shouted, "Mr. Tate, I'll help you move the heavy items." Shawn with a furrowed brow, glanced at the door, then back at the skeleton in his arms. He maneuvered his wheelchair toward the door and said, "Reach out your hands." Luke obediently extended his hands. Being in Mrs. Tate's private room, he didn't dare to cross any boundaries and when poking his head out, he even closed his eyes, avoiding looking inside. Ivy initially wanted to tell him it wasn't necessary, but seeing the two men playing around, she decided not to say anything. As Shawn placed the skeleton into Luke's hands, the latter let out a small gasp. "It's heavy," he exclaimed, and quickly prepared to pack the belongings. When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was a skeleton with all its meridians and blood vessels marked out in white with yellow lines, staring right at him as if saying "hi." "A
"Hah!" Ivy chuckled and mocked Harry's naivety, "When you were making a scene in the hospital, didn't the police bring in a doctor for your examination?"Upon hearing this, Harry spat angrily on the ground, "They did, but I won't admit it!""But forging an injury assessment can land you in jail, and with both charges, you won't be out for less than a year," Ivy calmly stated, her eyes catching the gradual dimming of Harry's expression. She had a deep aversion to his behavior, which was only about bullying.Then, she slapped away Mrs. Jones's dirty hand that was reaching for her mother and sneered, "From now on, don't even think about getting any living expenses!"Mrs. Jones's face twisted in anger upon hearing this.She forcefully pulled Amara, who was sitting nearby, to her side and scolded Ivy, "If it weren't for the generosity of Amara, who let her son be adopted into our family, both you and your mother would already be sinners in our family! Stop the nonsense and quickly hand ove
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
At this moment, Jasson was kneeling on the ground with his hands clasped, and he was shocked to see Ivy's voice call. He almost threw the phone in fear. Trembling, he answered the call, hearing Ivy's voice as if it were celestial music. "Put the phone next to his ear." "Okay." Jasson immediately rose, disinfected himself, and entered the ward. He positioned the phone next to Shawn's ear. Then followed a prolonged silence. It was unclear how much time passed, but Ivy eventually spoke, "Shawn, didn't you say you wanted revenge? Didn't you express the desire to retrieve your mother's ashes from the Alter Group building? Why, now, do you wish to declare your intentions with death? Let me make this clear, Shawn, if you dare to die, I'll become a widow directly. I'll take your money and be with Roland, or better yet, I'll be with Dom. I'll have numerous children with him. When that happens, I'll bring them to your ashes and taunt you." "I went to England to consult Professor Watson on h
“What are you standing there for? Save him, quick!” Luke was nearly frantic. Watching his boss in such a state, his premonition was extremely grim. The doctors arrived promptly, pushing the bed into the emergency room. The red light lit up, life and death hung in the balance, everything became an unknown. Luke's heart sank to the bottom. This reminded him of the early years when he and his boss had ventured in England. There were several times when his boss was on the brink of death, and he had repeated his unfulfilled revenge, telling him repeatedly, "You cannot die." However, now, Luke could not guarantee that Mr. Tate would be willing to listen to him because his most beloved person was gone. Without the anchor in life, the will to survive could dwindle, and trying to force him to live might harm him. Sure enough, after a day of rescue, a doctor walked out with trembling steps, looking extremely weak. "The patient's will to survive
Unfortunately, Shawn was still too confident. While he was agonizing over how to win back Ivy's heart, Ivy, on the other hand, had already packed her bags and bid farewell to her family.Emma and Lilith cried with red and swollen eyes, wishing they could turn into pendants sticking to Ivy."Three months, just three months. My child will come out four months later. I don't care; you must come back and accompany me. In case I have a difficult delivery, you can still sign documents for me."Ivy immediately covered her mouth with her hand, "What are you saying? It's so inauspicious. My godson will definitely be healthy."Lilith pouted and kept wiping away tears, "I don't know why I feel so sad. You're obviously coming back, just for three months, but I feel like you're going away for thirty years.""Okay." Ivy was amused by her words, "If you keep talking like this, even my grandfather will cry."Lilith stopped talking, and Ivy hugged Emma, who was quietly sobbing on the side. Feeling emo
After Jasson left, he called Amy. He had seen this divorce lawyer a few years ago. She had no significant family background but had carved out a path for herself with stubbornness and hard work. She was not to be underestimated. "Get ready, come over, let's discuss the details of the divorce," Jasson said to Amy. Amy, who had initially wanted to start a fight, was instantly pacified by Jasson's words. After setting a time with Jasson, Amy turned to call Ivy. "I've scheduled a meeting with him to discuss the divorce details tomorrow at 10 a.m. I'll bring my team there to create a scene. You and Roland should leave quickly," Amy told Ivy. "Thank you," Ivy replied sincerely. 10 a.m. was the time the nanny went out to buy groceries. At that time, she would dress up as the nanny and leave the Livingston family. Since the day she returned to the Livingston family, Dom had informed her that Shawn's people were watching for the moment she left. So, Ivy had no choice but to choose thi
Roland felt her anger was inexplicable, "Shawn hasn't done anything wrong, right? It's just that he used the wrong approach..." He shouldn't have said this. The moment he uttered those words, he immediately touched a nerve with Amy. "You understand nothing!" Amy scolded, "I've encountered too many cases like this. Nasty men say and do everything in the name of love, but the premise of love is built on making the other person happy. Look at Dr. Jones, is she happy?" Roland hung his head guiltily. "In the end, this self-righteous, domineering CEO style is just to please himself, to move himself. The woman gains nothing, and yet, because of this foolish behavior, she's forced into internal conflict, wasting time." Roland silently swallowed the tea in his mouth, feeling that something was not quite right. Although Shawn was his rival in love, was he really deserving of such criticism? "Indeed, his personality has some issues, but h
An hour later, Jasson arrived at the county clinic. As soon as he reached the entrance, Lilith carried a basin of water and poured it directly on his face, turning him into a drenched chicken. "Get lost!" "Hey, don't do this!" Jasson, seeing her pregnant belly, didn't dare to resist. "Put down the water bucket, be careful with your belly!" Lilith was still not satisfied. "Alyssa, go!" Without a second word, Alyssa also poured the water from the basin on Jasson's face. Patients and their families on the road stopped to watch, shocked. It looked like a disturbance, but not quite. "Quick, stop it, come with me." Jasson grabbed Lilith's hand and walked towards the clinic, but Lilith resisted and shook him off. Helpless, Jasson, afraid that something might happen to her, directly lifted her horizontally and rushed into the emergency room. "Doctor, my wife is having a premature birth, move aside, every
At this moment, in the hospital room, Shawn had just finished surgery and was feeling weak. He hoped to listen to the work report and then rest. However, Assistant Luke, to express his dissatisfaction, dragged out a half-hour report into a three-hour one. Closing the laptop, Assistant Luke concluded, "Above is our report. As the executive assistant to the CEO of DT Investment, I will take a half-day off." Shawn nodded in agreement. However, after waiting for a few minutes without Assistant Luke leaving, there was confusion in Shawn's dark eyes. Assistant Luke said, "In the next period, Lawyer Brown and I will jointly criticize Mr. Tate in our private capacities." Shawn: "..." "Shawn, are you really not cherishing your life?" Jasson was the first to speak, "Being kidnapped is such a serious matter. Instead of thinking about protecting yourself and minimizing the harm, you're hurting yourself. What's going on in your head!" Shawn
By evening, after completing her statement, Ivy walked out of the room. Lilith and Emma were waiting outside. "Are you okay?" The two of them anxiously looked around until they were sure that Ivy was safe before finally letting out a sigh of relief. Ivy shook her head and asked Lilith, "How is he?" "He's fine." Lilith couldn't hide her joy. "Just now, Jasson sent a message saying he has woken up. After he fell into a coma, someone set a trap for DT Investment, exposing his identity to the public and spreading rumors about his time in England. They were trying to short-sell DT Investment. Fortunately, Assistant Luke and Jasson stabilized the situation. Now, we're just waiting for a counterattack." Hearing this news, Ivy's suspended heart finally settled. Looking at her mother's tender gaze, she felt apologetic. "I'm sorry, Mom. Because of Shawn, Grandpa's banquet and the foundation's establishment ceremony were postponed again and again. It's r
Andy and Dom stood at a distance, looking at the mother and daughter with a sense of sentimentality and bitterness. "This Cato has offended me!" Andy fiercely poked the ground with his cane. "Letting my Ivy exhaust herself like this every day. Even if Ivy forgives him in the future, I won't!" With that, he turned around and glared fiercely at Luke, then turned and left. This look almost sent Luke away. He had been with his boss in the business world for so many years, witnessing countless ruthless characters and glares, but he had never been so afraid before. Mr. Tate... is in danger! Just as Luke was afraid, the surgical lights dimmed. Shawn was the first to be pushed out. Ivy, with red eyes, ran to the bedside, looking at him weakly unconscious, feeling heartbroken. Several lead surgeons walked out afterward, taking off their masks. They all looked tired but visibly relieved. "Fortunately, everything is safe. Please r
