In the garden, rubbing his temples, Shawn sternly asked Luke, "After searching for so long, why haven't we found any clues?"Luke replied apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Tate. I will speed up the process. When Mrs. Tate had the accident three years ago, the Alter family was at its peak. Bob Alter was all-powerful and destroyed a lot of evidence. It will take some time to unravel this.""Then do it quickly. Spend as much money as needed, but speed up the process for me.""Yes!" Luke quickly responded, noticing his boss's bad mood and the need to vent anger. He took out his phone and said, "Kevin just called and said you broke your promise. He wants an explanation. Do you want to scold him a bit to let off some steam?"Shawn took the phone and dialed Kevin's number.Kevin, seeing Shawn personally calling, immediately answered. He was about to start cursing, but Shawn cut him off."Do you not know that business is war? This is something Ivy chose to make public. If you're not happy about
Shawn's eyebrows jumped, clearly not pleased.Indeed, Jasson continued, "Later, I had to bring out my other 'hobby.' After they found out about my hobby, they decided to keep the child as a form of compensation. Of course, by 'keeping the child,' I mean letting Lilith give up custody of the child. In return, they will give her a sum of money that she won't be able to spend in several lifetimes.""Did Miss Lilith agree?" Luke was more anxious than Shawn."It is said that after the call to Lilith, she cursed them thoroughly." When Jasson reached this point, he couldn't help but laugh. "That little chili pepper has quite a fiery temper.""What's your other hobby?" Shawn was obviously more concerned about this.Sure enough, as soon as this question was asked, Jasson shifted his gaze nervously."I just told them that my hobby is men..."Shawn: "...""I said, I love you. For many years, wandering with different women was just because I couldn't have you and indulged in self-destruction."An
Director Ticko Potts eventually surrendered, admitting to everything, and his reputation was completely ruined. He could never practice medicine again.This was the best outcome currently, although the reputation of the Alter Group was damaged, at least the stock price was preserved.Shawn had achieved his goal and had no intention of getting involved further. He watched them like monkeys performing tricks.On the other hand, Jasson quickly found a renowned psychologist, Professor Wall, for Ivy.One morning, after visiting her grandfather, Shawn accompanied Ivy to Professor Wall's therapy room."I can't go in, just wait for you in the cafe next door. Call me when you're done," Shawn said."Okay." Ivy bid him farewell with reluctance, then turned and walked into Professor Wall's therapy room.She knew she was sick, and she faced it calmly because she loved the profession of being a doctor. If she didn't cure her illness, she could never return to the operating table.So, over the past
Shawn took a sip of hot latte, laughing loudly, "My father and mother died a long time ago. My mom was framed to death by my dad. I reported it to the police, but they released him due to lack of evidence. The day my mom died, I already considered him dead. Later, I went to England, fought my way through, and only then did I return." The candid words were so frank that they seemed like lies, but they unexpectedly stabbed Ivy's heart. Her eyes flickered, and she instinctively covered her chest with her hands. "Then..." But she didn't want to ask any more. "Next one," Shawn said, lifting his hand. "3! 2! 1!" With the countdown, Ivy chose scissors, and Shawn chose paper. Her heart felt like a heavy stone had been lifted, making it hard for her to speak for a long time. Luke reminded, "Mr. Tate, truth or dare?" "Truth." Ivy drank a sip of latte and continued, "Did he cause your leg injury?" "Yes!" Shawn remained sincere. "He sent someone to cause a car accident, and I became per
"Sorry, Officer!" Ivy looked guilty, wishing she could crawl into a hole."Sorry, Officer, it's my fault," Shawn embraced Ivy, suppressing a smile. "I shouldn't have forced her to confess. It's just that she never says she loves me, and I get jealous, so in my impatience, I sought a sense of security. I promise to sincerely repent and not waste public resources in the future.""Let's not make this a habit!" The police reprimanded them and, seeing it was a misunderstanding, soon left.Ivy's embarrassed head sank lower, not daring to lift it.Shawn chuckled softly, "Although it was a bit unconventional, I finally heard your confession."It took Ivy a long time to react. She punched him hard and said, "I'm ignoring you!"She left angrily.The staff, realizing it was a misunderstanding, quickly dispersed and guided the customers back to their seats.Luke pushed Shawn to catch up with Ivy. Although they had successfully weathered the unexpected incident, there was still some lingering fear
Soon after, Ivy and Emma brought meals to the hospital. While the family of four was having dinner, Andy mentioned his plan to host a banquet. Ivy and Emma were hesitant to object, but considering the patient's well-being, their opposition was ineffective."What's wrong? Why do you look so unhappy?" Ivy couldn't help but ask when she saw Shawn's melancholic expression.Of course, Shawn couldn't tell the truth. Doing so would jeopardize everything."It's nothing. The disinfectant in the hospital is a bit uncomfortable. I'm going out for some fresh air," he said with a smile. After getting Ivy's approval, Shawn asked his assistant to accompany him as they left.Assistant Luke escorted him to the Garden Hotel, where Sanders had been waiting with a stack of documents for a long time."Mr. Tate, Assistant Luke, I've made a major discovery," Sanders said excitedly, his tiger teeth gleaming. "Our people interrogated Charlie and his family rigorously. Finally, we got information from a nurse
"You should shut up!" Tanya roared, slapping him, then grabbing his tie, warning, "Behave and go find a lawyer for me. Otherwise, I'll make your ugly deeds spread far and wide in the hospital, in Alter Group, in front of Ivy!" "You dare!" "You better see if I dare or not!" Tanya took a step forward, almost going crazy, completely disregarding Kevin's feelings. All she knew was that when she received the news, she felt so heartbroken and disappointed. In any case, Tanya never imagined that Kevin would become so dirty. He would rather choose a woman like Lisa than choose her, embarrassing and humiliating her, leaving her with no place to hide. But what made her even more heartbroken was that even at this moment, Kevin was unwilling to help her. Tanya's heart ached. Since Kevin refused to be humane, she wouldn't be polite anymore. "First, immediately contact a top-tier lawyer to reduce my dad's sentence. Second, hold a wedding with me in a week." "What?" Kevin thought he mishear
While Lilith went to the bathroom, Ivy, with a hint of calculation in her heart, called Kevin."I want to ask you something," Ivy said."Ivy, you... do you know everything?" Kevin's voice on the other end trembled. "Back then, it really didn’t, because I didn’t love you. I..." "Kevin, is your brother Cato Alter sitting in a wheelchair?""My brother...?" Kevin then realized what she was talking about."He betrayed the Alter Corporation and doesn't deserve to be my brother."Ivy tightened her grip on the phone and asked again, "Is Cato sitting in a wheelchair?""How do you know?"This matter was rarely talked about, coupled with Cato's self-esteem, and he didn't like appearing in public, so not many people knew about him using a wheelchair."It's nothing."Ivy hung up the phone, feeling a sense of oppression in her chest that she couldn't ease.Sitting in a wheelchair, how coincidental for both the boss and the employee to use wheelchairs?Blaming herself for not being more observant,
