"Mr. Livingston, are you okay?" Ivy looked at him with concern.Andy shook his head, his throat growing increasingly dry. "Emma..." he repeatedly whispered his daughter's name, and his eyes reddened with emotion. It had been decades since he had seen his daughter. "Is your mother all right?"Hearing this, Ivy’s tone turning serious. "Do you have some kind of personal connection with my mother?"Andy asked once more, "Do you have a photo of your mother? Can I see it?"Ivy’s voice stern, said, "Sir, you're crossing a line here. Unless you have your daughter with you, your actions are an invasion of privacy."Andy, returning to his senses, apologized and pulled out a yellowed, creased photograph from his pocket, handing it to Ivy carefully.Ivy looked at the photo of a family of three and then back at Andy. She could confirm that the handsome young man in the photo was Andy, but who were the young woman and the child she was holding?"Do you have any recollection?" Andy looked at her wit
"Mr. Livingston!" Ivy held him, her voice trembling, completely forgetting that she was a doctor.Uncle Jim immediately lifted Andy and rushed to the emergency room, instructing Ivy to find a doctor.Soon, the doctor came out of the emergency room and reassured Ivy. "He's okay, he just passed out due to excessive excitement. He'll wake up soon."Uncle Jim's anxiety lessened as he heard this, and he looked at Ivy. "It's time to change your address, Miss."Ivy was startled, realizing that she was still holding the report of the paternity test.Returning to reality, she looked at the man who had just fainted and realized that he was her grandfather.As for her mother...Ivy could only imagine the headache she'd have when discussing this with her mother. With a heavy heart, she called her mother."Mom, what are you doing?""Ivy, I'm just sorting through things I brought from the old house. We're moving to the new house soon, so I thought it's time for a fresh start. I didn't expect to fin
The safe was opened in front of everyone.What caught their eyes was a delicate little wooden box.How small was it? Harry and Amara estimated it to be about the length and width of a comb, no taller than the size of a pinky finger.Could a box like this hold an inheritance? Was the inheritance a bank card with a huge amount of cash?Without guessing too much, Amara tugged at Harry's sleeve, signaling him to urge Emma.Harry made a clicking sound, and he shouted at Emma impatiently, "Stop dawdling! Get on with it!"Ivy turned to give him a stern look, which momentarily silenced him. Remembering the inheritance, he kept his mouth shut.After Emma calmed her emotions, she slowly opened the box.Inside was an old, yellowed photograph. In the black and white picture, a young couple sat on a couch with a little girl. The whole family was dressed in traditional style clothing. The man had long legs, the woman was elegant, and the little girl in the middle was smiling, looking sweet and happ
Innocently, Ivy blinked her eyes and looked at him with a perplexed expression, showing a hint of pure innocence. "Not enough?"The man smirked, his lips curving. "What do you think?""..." This time, Ivy was left speechless."Well, how do you want it?"When Shawn heard her question, he was initially waiting for her with an intense look. However, he quickly surrendered, as he realized that in Ivy's world, love was just an added bonus.With a sigh, he became slightly despondent."Shawn..."Ignoring Ivy's call, he gripped the back of her head with one hand and held her cheek with the other, gently lifting her and capturing her lips. His voice, soft and nearly overflowing with sensuality, whispered, "Remember, this is how you should use your mouth from now on."Ivy allowed him to ravish her lips, as the man's kisses alternated between a gentle breeze and a wild, stormy downpour. Light and heavy, deep and shallow, she couldn't quite catch the rhythm, but she couldn't bring herself to push
The Assistant quickly arranged a hotel nearest to the Livingston family's old residence for Shawn, as they awaited the family's reunion.On the other side, Ivy and her mother quickly arrived at the hospital. Uncle Jim had been waiting at the entrance, and when he saw the car come to a stop, his heart raced, and his eyes welled up with tears.The day they had been searching for their lost family was finally here.With this thought, Uncle Jim approached with quick strides. As the car door opened, he shouted with excitement, "Miss! Miss!"Emma had experienced this in her childhood, but those memories from her younger years had long faded. She had always been submissive under Harry's oppression. However, being treated with such respect by Uncle Jim now made her feel a little less apprehensive.It was Ivy who steadied her mother's trembling body.Supporting her mother's waist securely, Ivy said, "Mom, should I take you to rest for a moment?"Emma, calming down after the initial panic, whis
It felt like a heavy blow to Ivy, and she couldn't find the words to respond."Last night, Uncle Jim called me and told me about the tumor in his brain. Regardless of whether it's benign or malignant, the surgery is very risky. The doctors say there's only a fifty-fifty chance.""So, you decided to come last night?" Ivy held her mother's arm tightly, watching her mother's tears fall. She hugged her mother tightly.Emma wiped her face and choked back her tears. "Actually, there's nothing to forgive in our family. Your grandma forgave him, and I have no reason not to. While on my way here, I tried to recall the scenes from when we weren't separated, and I faintly remember how good he was to me. After your grandma took me away, he spent decades looking for us, never had any other women in his life, and apart from adopting a godson, he had no other family. In recent years, he handed the company over to the godson and stayed at home, trying to find us through various channels. The doctor s
Andy said he wanted to punish Kevin, and he wasn't just talking. As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Jim began to work diligently, understanding the message implicitly.First, he cut off communication with the Alter Group, catching them off guard.When representatives from the Alter Group inquired, Uncle Jim was blunt, "Your chairman and CEO have offended our old master's beloved. Do you still want to cooperate with us?""Beloved?" The public relations team from the Alter Group looked puzzled. When did Andy find a girlfriend? Didn't he say he would never marry and was still infatuated with his runaway ex-wife?How come?While the public relations team urgently searched for news about Andy's romantic life, Uncle Jim continued, "Just wait; H Capital will soon cooperate with DT Investment to crush you!"As he hung up the call with a smug expression, he turned back to the hospital room.Their boss was fondly watching his granddaughter, and the more he watched, the more he liked. "If yo
Andy, taken aback, realized he had misspoken and quickly smiled, saying, "No, Ivy. Come here, and let's see how Grandpa's plan is going. I've already asked Dom, that little rascal, to return to the old house. He will arrive tomorrow, and when we leave the hospital today, we'll go home together. We will meet your brother first. Five days later, we will invite the media for a surprise announcement. What do you think?" "Grandpa, I have no objections. Your arrangements are fine." Ivy thought that since she had already agreed to her grandfather's plan, there was no need to be coy. She accepted it straightforwardly. "However, can Grandpa please arrange for an etiquette teacher for my mom and me? I think, as a last-minute effort, we shouldn't embarrass you." "Ivy, you are indeed my good granddaughter." Andy smiled with many wrinkles on his face. "Uncle Jim will arrange for the best etiquette teacher in the city for you." "Okay." Ivy nodded. "I'll prepare for your discharge now." The disch
