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
“You murderer! Give me back my husband's life!” The deceased's wife grabbed Ivy's shoulder, crying hysterically and screaming.Ironically, this slap woke Ivy up.Her gaze fell on the deceased's body, and her watery eyes deepened."Does the patient have a family history of hereditary diseases?""What?!" The patient's family member was initially stunned but quickly erupted in anger. "You killed my husband, and now you're slandering us? You heartless doctor! Do you know that our family of four relies on my husband working outside? What are you going to make us do now? How are we supposed to live?!"At this point, the woman suddenly fell to the ground, wailing incessantly.Ivy tried to calm herself."Dr. Roland, call the police."Regardless of how this situation would ultimately unfold, she had to take legal action. If it was her fault, she would take responsibility. If it wasn't her fault, she absolutely couldn't toler
Cato nodded. "Even if I've kept this medical incident from spreading through the media, Dr. Jones has already been taken to the police station. The patient's family is causing a scene. Soon, this scandal will be known to everyone, and Ivy's future will be ruined."Locking his gaze deeply onto Kevin, Cato continued, "Three years ago, that medical incident left Ivy devastated. If it weren't for Professor Smith, she might have disappeared from the medical field. Kevin, do you really love her? I heard you've rebelled against Bob Alter many times for her. I thought you loved her unconditionally. But now, I feel that you don't love her. Otherwise, you wouldn't help outsiders bully her.""Three years ago, you watched her being bullied, and three years later, you're going to watch her be framed again. Is this your evidence of love for her?""No, it's not!" Kevin covered his face. "I have always loved her. I don't know what happened today. I... I betrayed Ivy. I..."
"Dad!"Kevin didn't expect that his decision to take matters into his own hands would make his father so angry. He hurriedly tried to support him but was pushed away by Bob Alter ."Kick this unfilial son out. I don't want to see him! Process the paperwork immediately, revoke his position as the CEO, and let the vice president take over! During the time I'm in the hospital, Kevin is not allowed to enter the Alter Group!"He instructed the assistant, then his eyes went black, completely losing consciousness."Dad!" Kevin worriedly wanted to rush over, but the assistant intercepted him.The assistant also didn't expect that the heir he had devoted so much effort to nurture turned out to be a disappointment."Please restrain yourself, Young Master Alter. Chairman Alter really can't handle any more shocks!""Restrain?!" Kevin still didn't understand. "Why did Uncle Hector and Shred betray us? I'll go find them right away!"After thinking for a while, he turned and left.The assistant didn
Luke immediately picked up his phone to give instructions. Almost simultaneously, major news websites reported Ivy's incident, linking Tanya, Kevin, and Alter Group to the story."Alter Group Hires Hitman, Eager to Frame Conscientious Doctor--What's the Motive?"Shawn browsed through the news headlines, quite satisfied with this one."Mr. Tate, rest assured. The internet is flooded with sympathy for Dr. Jones and condemnation for Alter Group. I think this time, not only will Tanya completely lose her chance to be the rising star, but even Alter Group will face severe consequences."While reporting the progress, Luke received a call from Kevin.Kevin's usefulness had run out, and Shawn couldn't be bothered to deal with him. Luckily, he handed the phone to Luke to handle."Hello?" Luke answered the call, and Kevin immediately launched into a tirade."Shawn, you're untrustworthy!"His voice was loud, and his anger was palpable."Didn't you promise not to pursue this matter as long as I s
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
