Luke immediately picked up his phone to give instructions. Almost simultaneously, major news websites reported Ivy's incident, linking Tanya, Kevin, and Alter Group to the story."Alter Group Hires Hitman, Eager to Frame Conscientious Doctor--What's the Motive?"Shawn browsed through the news headlines, quite satisfied with this one."Mr. Tate, rest assured. The internet is flooded with sympathy for Dr. Jones and condemnation for Alter Group. I think this time, not only will Tanya completely lose her chance to be the rising star, but even Alter Group will face severe consequences."While reporting the progress, Luke received a call from Kevin.Kevin's usefulness had run out, and Shawn couldn't be bothered to deal with him. Luckily, he handed the phone to Luke to handle."Hello?" Luke answered the call, and Kevin immediately launched into a tirade."Shawn, you're untrustworthy!"His voice was loud, and his anger was palpable."Didn't you promise not to pursue this matter as long as I s
Although Dom was a straightforward workaholic, his intuition was quite accurate. Seeing that the atmosphere between Ivy and Shawn was off, he added, "Get a divorce!"Shawn: "..."Ivy didn't want to engage with someone so outspoken. She walked straight to Andy and asked softly, "Grandpa, how are you?"Andy snorted lightly. "It was fine just now, but now..." He sighed heavily, assessing them with his gaze. "Not great!"Ivy knew he was being ambiguous, so she chose to ignore it. "I'll go ask the doctor about postoperative care."With that, she turned and left.Andy was left speechless. He turned to Shawn and said, "If you have nothing to do, go to work. Are you idle all day?"He hoped Shawn would leave soon so he could gossip with Ivy when she returned. He really wanted to know how this rational couple ended up quarreling.But Shawn, that stubborn guy, not only didn't move but also began acting cute, saying, "Grandpa, your health is the most important. Work can wait a bit."His blackened
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
