The air was thick with tension. Although Ivy didn't agree with Cato Alter's words, she remained an outsider and didn't want to take sides or comment on their discussion.As she watched the conversation between her classmates transition between financial news and gossip about elite families, she felt increasingly bored. Suddenly, she began to miss her patients at the clinic. She had hoped to get a good night's sleep tonight.The patient who had just undergone surgery would probably be in pain tonight. She wondered if the young nurse had prepared a painkiller for him.However, when she snapped out of her thoughts, she noticed that several male classmates had started smoking and were blowing out clouds of smoke. Ivy despised secondhand smoke and people who smoked, so she decided to check her phone for the time and prepare to leave.At that moment, a message from Shawn appeared.Shawn: ‘Are you getting ready to leave?’Ivy smiled and replied: ‘How did you know I was about to leave?’Shawn
The next day, Shawn arrived at the company early. The assistant reported to him with excitement, "Mr. Tate, everything is ready, and Lawyer Brown is waiting at the Alter Group."As he finished speaking, he opened the video, and the live broadcast of the Alter Group's meeting appeared on the screen. Shareholders of the Alter Group, including Jasson and Bob Alter were all present.Except for Kevin.Seeing that all the shareholders were furious, Shawn asked his assistant, "Is he still at the hotel?""Yes, Mr. Tate. Our people put a little too much in the drugs we gave him last night, and that woman, like she used all her strength that couldn't be depleted, played word games with Kevin for five rounds. In the end, she even knocked him unconscious. Both of them seem to have just woken up.""Is the drug still in effect?""Yes, it is. I specifically asked the seller, and the drug will last for 24 hours. I estimate that by now..."Shawn nodded. "You tell Jasson to open the video.""Got it!"A
"Ivy..." Kevin suddenly grabbed her other hand as if he had gone mad and explained, "You have to believe me, I was framed by someone. I have no connection with Tanya. I..."Ivy suddenly pulled her hand back and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Alter, your relationship with Tanya has nothing to do with me.""Ivy... Please don't be like this," Kevin suddenly blocked the door she was about to close and spoke in a pleading tone. "My father is in a coma and in the hospital. I'm in complete chaos right now, but even so, all I can think about is coming to explain to you, Ivy. You have no idea how much I regret it. If I had tried to save our relationship when you wanted to break up three years ago, we would be together now.""Kevin Alter!" Ivy's blood pressure skyrocketed due to his words. She let go of his hand and opened the office door. Kevin had some space, quickly rushed inside, but Ivy just stood in place, looking at him coldly."Can you be more mature?" She asked in a stern voice. "Your fath
When she woke up again, it was early in the morning of the second day. Her stomach was growling with hunger, and the aroma of food wafted in from outside. Ivy got out of bed and walked to the living room, where she saw Shawn sitting in his wheelchair, busy among various pots and pans in the kitchen. Mr. Luke was standing nearby, looking anxious, and he reached out a few times to offer help, but Shawn glared at him, making him immediately withdraw his hand. "Mr. Luke, come and sit down," Ivy said. She felt that Shawn was being somewhat ungrateful for treating someone who had always helped him like this. "No, no, I can help watch." The personal assistant smiled and replied, "Mr. Tate said he would make porridge for you, and I'm just here to assist." Shawn turned his head back around. "You should rest on the sofa; you'll be better soon." Sweat glistened on his forehead, dripping down to the tip of his nose, shining brightly. He was wearing an apron with Peppa Pig, which his mother h
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
