After a simple cleanup, Ivy went to the clinic. Due to her illness in the past couple of days, the cooperation with DT Investment had been temporarily handed over to Dr. Ticko and Dr. Jenny.When Ivy arrived at the clinic, an accident victim was being brought into the emergency room."Isn't that the garbage collector--Dona?" one of the nurses exclaimed. Ivy frowned and hurried to the bedside."Possibly a spinal cord injury," she instructed the nurse. She examined the multiple life-threatening wounds on Dona's body, and she was continuously vomiting black blood. "Multiple internal injuries, severe internal trauma. Get her into the operating room quickly.""Yes!" The nurses rushed away, and Ivy added, "Go and fetch Dr. Ticko. The patient's condition is extremely critical. Depending on a single doctor might not be sufficient.""But Dr. Ticko is attending a seminar in the neighboring city today, and Dr. Jenny is representing the clinic at DT Investment. They won't be back for a while."Ma
"Yeah." Shawn continued as Ivy opened the file bag, "Inside are all the photos of Harry and Amara holding hands and entering hotel rooms. As for whether Zedd and Harry have a father-son relationship, further paternity testing is needed."Ivy flipped through various intimate photos in her hand, some of them entering hotels, leaving hotels, and photos of them holding hands with Zedd at the amusement park. Suddenly, she felt a nauseating churning in her stomach.She couldn't hold back and abruptly let go of what she was holding, rushing to the bathroom. "Ugh!"Intense nausea overwhelmed her, and her mind was filled with her mother's decades of silent loneliness, fear, and worry. She felt both heartbroken and anxious, wishing she could use a scalpel to stab Harry to end it all.Ivy lifted her head and looked at herself in the mirror, her eyes bloodshot and red from anger. But compared to the suffering her mother endured, she realized her own feelings were trivial.If Zedd were proven to b
Shawn and his assistant, who were drinking water at the moment, both spat out their water and began to cough violently.A million-dollar piece of bracelet was just casually given away, and Grandma Winston clearly didn't consider herself as a poor person!Grandma Winston rolled her eyes at the two uncooperative individuals and decided to ignore them. She turned to Ivy and explained with a smile, "Lilith is right; this bracelet was specially prepared by me.""Grandmother, I can't accept this gift." The price of the bracelet left Ivy speechless. One million seemed like a lifetime of savings for her grandmother."Cough!"Shawn, who was sitting nearby, coughed lightly, interrupting Grandma Winston."If you're sick, go outside. Don't infect my Ivy." Grandma Winston scolded him with irritation.Oh no!Grandma Winston suddenly realized that she had forgotten her character for today, which was supposed to be middle-class.Grandma Winston panicked, standing still and wondering how to cover up t
Ivy and Lilith arrived at the hotel in the morning. The engagement ceremony was being held at the luxurious mansion of the Alter family, as it was a joint event between two prominent families. Only important relatives and close friends were invited to the engagement ceremony. "Miss Jones, Miss Smith, please come this way," a servant said, leading them to a corner. Lilith surveyed the guests present and couldn't help but become curious, "So, how many guests are there from the groom's side and the bride's side tonight?" "The groom's side has 50 guests, and the bride's side, including the two of you, has a total of 10 guests." Ivy and Lilith exchanged a glance, both having a clear understanding of the situation. Lilith gave the guests from the bride's side another look and sneered softly, "Among the university classmates present tonight, they are all either rich or powerful. We were invited because we have money, and you were invited because you are Kevin’s ex." Tanya had bee
"He's waiting for you in the front row," Lilith answered casually."Ivy!" Lilith suddenly looked at her with a serious expression, and her gaze was so intense that it made Ivy uncomfortable."What's wrong?"Lilith took a deep breath. "I think I understand why you rushed into marriage with him."Ivy was taken aback. "Why?"She averted her eyes, not daring to meet Lilith's gaze, but she couldn't help but wonder if Shawn had said something."He's really good to you," Lilith said in a slightly nervous tone. "He's concerned that you might get drunk tonight, so he sent this candy. And he's worried that you might be mistreated. He specifically waited outside to pick you up. Although he can't walk right now, you can't deny that he's handsome and considerate. When he recovers and can walk again, I bet there will be a lot of women chasing after him."Ivy exhaled a long breath when she realized that Lilith hadn't detected anything unusual."And he genuinely cares about you.""Oh, really?" Ivy's
The unbearable insults and spot-on suspicions created a tense atmosphere at the scene. Bob Alter had to think fast and called off the engagement ceremony, citing the disturbance caused by Mr. Allen's actions."Everyone, today's events took an unexpected turn. We will temporarily cancel the engagement ceremony. We will clean up the situation and apologize to everyone later for any inconvenience."His face was grim as he spoke. The security guards quickly gathered, and the guests were ushered out of the venue."Thank you all for your time, please return home early," he concluded, casting a stern glance at the bewildered Potts family and Kevin, before commanding in a low voice, "Follow me!"The noblewomen at the event were driven out by the Alter family's security guards, disheveled, screaming, and even falling down. The scene was chaotic. Ivy, who had just slipped into the car, observed this with a slight shock.She remembered a similar scene when Bob Alter had discovered her relationsh
He has been working diligently for many years, guarding and watching over Kevin. He thought of using him to form a powerful alliance with a prominent family. However, in the end, it all went in vain, marrying such a useless woman. She not only brought no benefit to the Alter family but also made such a big joke!""But, I have a condition," he calmed his anger and looked at Dr. Ticko, "You are a doctor at County Clinic, and you are also involved in cooperation with DT Investments."Dr. Ticko smirked and flattered, "Yes, I'm in charge of this project. Even if it's Ivy, as long as I disagree, she wouldn't dare do anything! In County Clinic, that is...""Very well!" Bob Alter impatiently interrupted him. "From now on, you must do your best to sabotage this cooperation.""Oh, this..." Dr. Ticko hesitated, looking troubled, and replied, "Chairman, it's not that I'm unwilling, but I can't make the final decision.""You just said that as long as you disagree, Ivy wouldn't dare do anything. Ho
The next day, when Ivy returned to the clinic, Lilith was already in her office. "You guys don't know," Lilith began, "last night, everyone thought Dr. Ticko was a rich tycoon! Our classmates' group chat exploded, and they were all cursing Dr. Ticko and his daughter Tanya as frauds." The young nurses formed a circle, surrounding Lilith in the center. "It's not true, though, Alter Group has already issued a statement this morning, saying it's all a misunderstanding from the outside. Dr. Ticko never claimed to be a wealthy man!" Maya opened a news article on her phone, trying to defend Dr. Ticko. Lilith gave the nurses a disdainful look and said, "I should remind you that you're still nurses. You believe whatever they say? They've never intentionally given off any behavior that would make people mistake them for wealthy. Would anyone think of them as tycoons?" "Oh..." The young nurses pretended to doubt while secretly assessing Dr. Ticko's reaction, fearing his authority. On the si
