Why is this person's way of speaking even harsher than her Shawn?
Ivy instantly had a bad impression of this brother.
With her head lowered, she replied, "I'm a doctor, and I stay in the clinic when patients need me, so they can find me anytime."
"Oh."
It was like a heavy punch landing on cotton, without impact.
Ivy turned off her phone and asked him, "Grandpa said you like to spend time in the company..."
Dom responded with a slight frown, "There's a lot of work at the company, and I can't get away."
"Too busy to get married?" Ivy hit right where it hurts.
Dom furrowed his brows, glanced at her ring finger, and with a hint of sarcasm, he replied, "Well, it seems I'm busier than a doctor. You, who spends all your time at the hospital, have time to get married, but I don't. I need to reflect on that."
"!!!"
Ivy suddenly didn't want to talk to him anymore. She didn't expect there could be someone in the world even m
Lilith crossed her arms defensively, her face turning red. "You... don't you go too far! My son has a father! Even though he's absolutely despicable, he's better than you!"His lips curved into an attractive arc, "How much better? Is it fine for him to be a philanderer? Can you handle that?"Lilith's face turned even redder, and she left the table, her hands hugging her chest. "Even though he's absolutely despicable, he's better than you!"Wait a minute!"Is everyone writing about me and him?" She looked at Ivy, her small hands trembling as she pointed at Dom.Ivy lowered her head, feeling embarrassed.Lilith suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. She thought that this would only be a hot topic for a day or two, after all, it was about the Livingston family, and not everyone might be interested.However, she didn't expect that this time, her rumored romantic interest would be Dom, the second-generation heir who was rumored to be gay.
Ivy was a bit perplexed but suddenly felt a rebellious thought arise within her. "Alright, if I call for you later, and if you don't come, I'll just ignore you," she told Shawn on the phone. On the other end, Shawn touched his forehead, thinking that it was fortunate he was staying at a nearby hotel; otherwise, he would have a hard time explaining. "Be careful with everything tonight. You and your mom are the center of attention, but there are some troublemakers as well." "Alright," Ivy replied, and as she did, the makeup artist's voice came from behind, "Miss Ivy, it's time to do your makeup." Ivy glanced at her robe and then bid farewell to Shawn. "I need to go now." "Alright." After hanging up, Ivy went with the makeup artist to the dressing room. Meanwhile, her lawyer called, informing her that the Jones family was causing trouble again. "Last time, they vandalized our walls with Auntie's menstrual blood, right? Evi
All four members of the family were beautiful and handsome, making the photoshoot a breeze.So, the family photo was soon completed.“Ivy, you and your mother go downstairs and have fun. Your brother and I will go and greet the guests. We'll introduce you later when the banquet begins.”“Alright, Grandpa,” Ivy agreed and went downstairs with her mother.Andy stopped Dom and instructed him, “Bob Alter, that old man just tried to contact me. He said he has important news to share. I suspect it's about the child in Lilith's belly. You know who the child's biological father is, right?”Dom pursed his lips. “I know. Jasson Brown, that lapdog, struts around in England but willingly acts as a lackey for DT Investment in City A. He's even messing around with other women. Tonight, he got humiliated, and he deserved it.'Andy disregarded Jasson; he had figured out the gist from Dom's words. “From what yo
Approaching Bob Alter, the two exchanged polite greetings before shaking hands and posing for several photos in front of the media."Today's dinner will be broadcasted live throughout. Mr. Alter, do you mind?" Andy asked with a smiling face.Bob Alter replied with complexity, "I don't mind. However, will the live broadcast be inappropriate?""Of course not." Andy interrupted Bob Alter without hesitation, his gaze shifting between Kevin and Tanya behind him. "The live broadcast helps showcase the abilities and demeanor of the younger generation."As the conversation unfolded, Kevin approached Andy, creating a sudden cold atmosphere.Kevin felt that Dom was not easy to get along with, even through video conferences. But compared to Cato Alter, he seemed more approachable. Cato Alter was dangerous and especially vulgar, like a nouveau riche.Thinking of this, Kevin adjusted his clothes and extended his hand to Dom, "Dom, we've been online friends for so long; we finally meet."Dom coldly
In the next moment, Shawn gently released her, looking at her in disbelief.At this moment, the servants from the Livingston family shouted, "Miss Ivy, it's time to start."Ivy smiled lightly, cupped Shawn's face, her forehead touching his, smiling foolishly. "Go back quickly. Let's talk more after we're both done being busy."She deliberately emphasized the word "talk," and Shawn's mind raced.It turned out she liked it this direct and wild way."Miss Ivy..."Ivy swiftly opened the car door, jumped out, and turned back to wave to the dazed Jasson and Luke. "Mr. Luke, thank you for bringing Shawn here. I'll go back first..."And then she smiled and went back.After a long time, Jasson finally came to his senses. The corner of his eye glanced at the still-absent Shawn, and he nudged Luke's arm, teasing, "Learn from this, this is what they call handling it!"Then he ran away before Shawn got angry.The car was once again enveloped in a deep atmosphere. Soon, Luke sat in the co-pilot sea
The sound fell, and a commotion erupted among the onlookers.The entire venue fell silent as everyone held their breath, focusing on the Livingston family and Lilith. Only the continuous clicking of cameras filled the surroundings.Tanya was very satisfied with the reactions of the people present. She declared herself as the one who had spoken, casting her gaze finally onto Andy and Dom, waiting for Andy's approval.Unfortunately, Andy had no expression other than a cold face, leaving Tanya discontented. She thought Andy was blaming her for revealing this information without prior notice, and she added, "It happened suddenly, and I didn't consider the emotions of the old master and Young Master Dom. It shouldn't have happened. It's just that my father and I couldn't find an opportunity earlier to inform you of the seriousness of this matter and advise you to end the banquet. So..."At this point, Tanya looked towards Kevin, hinting for him to speak in her favor.Kevin hesitated, "Mr.
Emma took the microphone and handed it to Ivy. She then held Andy's arm, whispering, "Dad, I'm not good with words, Ivy will handle it well."Andy nodded approvingly.Ivy tightly grasped the microphone. Being stared at by so many people, she felt a bit stunned for a moment."Hello, everyone, I'm Ivy Rosalia Jones," she said in a deep voice. After her voice sounded, all tension disappeared into thin air."I am truly grateful to the heavens for reuniting me with my mom and grandpa. I have also gained a talented young man like my brother. My brother is an outstanding young man..."Dom, who was daydreaming behind her, suddenly stopped, looking at Ivy's back in amazement.Why was she suddenly praising himself?Not a good premonition surged up in his heart.Sure enough, in the next moment, Ivy said, "In these years, he has dedicated too much to H Capital, with no time for love or marriage. Therefore, I want to thank the uncles, aunts
"Shawn?" She didn't expect that he had already met with Grandpa Andy. "Grandpa, when did you meet him?"Andy was taken aback, realizing the potential trouble.If Ivy found out now that he knew Shawn, and later when that scoundrel's lies were exposed, Ivy would blame him for sure.Thinking about this, Andy said, "It's your brother, he knows him."At this moment, Dom, still in the meeting upstairs, inexplicably shuddered."Chairman, what's wrong?" On the other end of the online meeting, the subordinate had already changed his address.Dom didn't like this address.In his eyes, the chairman should be like a mascot, like the old man.Thinking about this, he frowned and corrected his subordinate's words, "You don't need to call me that internally.""Yes, Young Master.""Continue the meeting."...The news that Emma and Ivy had become part of the Livingston family, the wealthiest family in City S, quickly
