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
Walking to Shawn's side, sitting on the sofa opposite him, Ivy took his hand. "I know you planned to confess tomorrow night at the banquet. But do you know, you were forcing me?" Shawn clasped Ivy's hand in return, tightly. "I didn't intend to force you. Tomorrow night, I'll confess my mistake. Whatever you decide, I'll accept. If you're willing to forgive me, I'll treat you even better. But if you're unwilling, I'll do everything to win you back." "Shawn, after being together for so long, you should know how important the Livingston family is to me. In such a situation, no matter how unwilling I am, I will consider decency. Even if I am unwilling in my heart, I will forgive you in public. Admit it, you were gambling, gambling that I hadn't seen through your little scheme." Shawn held onto Ivy's hand tightly, unwilling to let go even a fraction. "What should I do, we..." "You know my personality," Ivy interrupted him, giving him no room to speak.
"Shawn." She clung to the car window, softly reminding him, "Don't be afraid. I'll come to rescue you soon." At this moment, she was completely unaware that the abducted person was Shawn, the founder of DT Investment, the man who fought his way out in Englandwhen he was being hunted. He was surrounded by bodyguards. Only if he wanted to be kidnapped could this kidnapping be successful. He nodded heavily at Ivy. "I'll be waiting for you." The car's accelerator was pressed, and it left at a speed like the wind. Ivy dialed the number of Dom. "Brother, Shawn has been kidnapped..." She talked while walking, completely unaware of the figure behind her in the corner. Sanders stepped out. "Hey, Luke, yes, the boss has left. Currently, his mood is still good. Don't worry; our people are following him. Once Harry dares to harm the boss, our guns will explode his stupid head directly!" "Understood, Luke. You quickly prepar
On hearing that Ivy was already preparing to set off, Harry, who was about to go out to check on Shawn, was interrupted by a knock on the door. "Harry, get the hell out!" Originally, Harry didn't want to pay attention, intending to act as if he wasn't home. However, Catherine's shouts were persistent, so he reluctantly opened the door to let her in. "What's going on, my lady?" He said with impatience. "Speak quickly, I have things to do." "You kidnapped Shawn?" Catherine questioned, but she saw him stiffen for a moment, shifting his gaze to avoid eye contact. "Yes, I kidnapped him. What's wrong with extorting some money from Emma and that stupid girl?!" Harry answered with annoyance. Catherine squinted her eyes, regretting her decision to let him in and now forced to comply to ensure Shawn's safety. "Where is Shawn?" she asked, suppressing her anger. Harry waved his hand impatiently. "I promised you to ensure his safety
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
