The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 123 - Actually, Ivy still hasn't fallen in love with Ryan.
"I want to go home now," Ivy said as they pulled away from their embrace."Of course, we'll go to my apartment," Ryan responded cheerfully.Ivy raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Why are we going to your apartment?""Because I want to be with you. Your house is too far, and I'm exhausted from running around looking for you."Ivy froze, completely taken aback by Ryan's response. The first part sounded touching—maybe even enough to make someone feel happy—but the second part? It was downright infuriating. Was he bragging about his efforts? Expecting praise for something that didn't deserve recognition? Did he think he had already won her over? He should stop daydreaming in broad daylight. Ivy still had plenty of tests for Ryan. She couldn’t just nod in agreement and let things unfold naturally. She didn’t fully understand Ryan yet—sometimes, he was so lacking in tact that it made people lose their good impression of him.She couldn't let Ryan misunderstand what her agreement meant. Gritti

He leaned against his car, staring straight at the two of them.It was clear that Luke had been standing there for a long time, just waiting for her.This was an incredibly awkward moment.Just as Ryan’s lips brushed close to hers, Ivy unconsciously mumbled his name.“Luke.”Hearing another man’s name, Ryan immediately halted, his sharp gaze locking onto her.“Ivy, you…”Realizing that she wasn’t looking at him but rather at something outside the car, Ryan quickly followed her gaze. Not far away, Luke stood in plain sight, his expression filled with hurt as he witnessed the woman he loved with another man.Luke’s presence was a warning sign. Ryan’s instincts immediately screamed for caution, forcing him to stay alert, even ready to stop anything bad from happening.“Ivy.” As if afraid she would walk toward Luke, Ryan turned back and tightened his grip on her hand.“Drive safely. Good night.” Ivy turned to him with a soft smile, her voice calm yet meaningful. “See you.”With that, she

Heart, why don’t you waver? Ivy blamed herself. This man was good—far better than Dylan Carter in every way. If she had to choose what was best for herself, she would have chosen Luke. All it would take was for her heart to beat for him, and she would willingly surrender to fate’s arrangement. But things were never as simple as people wished them to be. And as she had said before, her choice had valid reasons. More importantly, she couldn’t be selfish—Luke deserved happiness.Think about it. She was a flawed woman—unable to have children, incapable of fully expressing her emotions. If she accepted him, she wouldn’t just be doing him a disservice, but she would also be condemning herself to a lifetime of guilt.It was frustrating, but it was the truth. If things didn’t work out between her and Ryan, she knew she would still be fine. But if she and Luke loved each other and then broke up, she would undoubtedly be shattered once more. Because the trust she placed in him was far greater t

A month had passed since Ivy left. She and Ryan were now in a romantic relationship, but everything was progressing slowly and quietly. Ivy wanted to be certain about everything before going public, and fortunately, Ryan fully respected that decision. He understood that she needed time to let go of her vague fears and didn’t want to pressure her into anything she wasn’t ready for. To him, love always came with trust. He wanted Ivy to trust him completely—not out of pressure or reluctance, but from her own heart.Time passed peacefully, but it was precisely this peace that made Ivy uneasy. She had a lingering feeling that this was merely the calm before the storm. When things seemed too smooth, hidden waves often lurked beneath the surface. And in the end, her unease proved to be justified.In Ryan’s spacious office, the overhead lights cast a glow over the dark wood, creating a subdued yet elegant atmosphere. Ivy sat on the plush leather sofa, her hand resting lightly on the latest ne

Today was like any other day. Ivy arrived at the company and buried herself in work. Ever since she agreed to give Ryan a chance, he had entrusted her with tasks related to her position, and she was more than happy to take them on to help him. Beyond her regular duties, Ryan also trusted Ivy enough to discuss important company matters with her. Through these actions, he wanted to show his love for Ivy and bring them closer together.To be honest, Ivy still wasn’t used to this new change, but she was doing her best to adapt. At the moment, she hadn’t even finished her report when the receptionist approached her, sounding somewhat hesitant."Ivy, there's a woman here to see Ryan."Ivy looked up, frowning slightly. "Who is she?"The receptionist shook her head, looking a bit troubled. "She didn't say, only mentioned that it's something important.""I got it. You can go back to work. I’ll handle it.""Alright, I’ll leave it to you," the receptionist said before turning and walking toward

After that tense encounter, Ivy lost her appetite and skipped lunch. When it was time to return to work, she went back to her desk, but her mind was still in turmoil. Even though Ryan had explained everything, she couldn’t shake off the unease lingering inside her. That woman hadn’t just appeared out of nowhere—she carried the aura of someone who wouldn’t give up easily. Based on her instincts and experience, Ivy was certain that Zoe Brown wouldn’t stay still. She would definitely do something to stir up trouble.Ivy wasn’t afraid. On the contrary, she was intrigued, curious to see what Zoe Brown would come up with—whether it would be enough to bring her down or not.As expected, that very afternoon, Ivy suddenly received an email from an unknown sender. At first, she intended to ignore it, but something inexplicable urged her to do otherwise. When she opened the message, a picture of Ryan and Zoe Brown at a lavish party popped up on her screen. They stood next to each other, looking
Last Updated : 2025-03-03The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 129 - Zoe Brown’s Sinister Plan
Zoe Brown was not someone who accepted failure easily. Her conversation with Ivy hadn’t satisfied her—in fact, it had only ignited an indescribable hatred within her. Ivy hadn’t shown fear, hadn’t backed down. Instead, she had looked at Zoe with that calm, indifferent gaze, as if she didn’t even consider Zoe’s existence worth acknowledging. That arrogance, that composure—it drove Zoe mad.She wanted to crush Ivy.But Zoe wasn’t the type to lose control in anger and act recklessly. She knew that if you wanted to destroy someone, the best way wasn’t to confront them head-on, but to quietly dismantle everything they had, ensuring that by the time they realized it, it would already be too late.With her family’s influence, securing a position in Ryan’s company wasn’t difficult. The perfect excuse? A wealthy heiress eager to gain business experience and train herself to take over the family empire. Who could refuse such a reasonable request? Certainly not Ryan, especially since his father

However, just a few weeks later, a serious incident occurred—highly confidential information was suddenly leaked.The competitor not only obtained key undisclosed terms but also used them in their proposal.

That night, in a dark corner behind the school, Luke was ambushed.He hadn’t seen it coming. No one had ever dared to lay a hand on him this way before. But tonight, the darkness became a hiding place for the cowardly.A metal rod swung up from behind. Luke only heard the whoosh of the air before a sharp pain hit the back of his head, blurring his vision.He collapsed to the ground, but before he could react, another punch landed hard in his side."Damn it..." Luke staggered, trying to stand, but was kicked violently in the chest.A shout echoed through the silence."Ivy..."His voice barely left his throat when a figure rushed toward him.Ivy.Without hesitation, she kicked the person who was about to strike Luke again.

After several failed attempts, Luke still didn't give up and was determined to get back at Ivy. Knowing she often went to the storage room after school to collect teaching materials, he came up with a plan to lock her inside and teach her a lesson.One late afternoon, as the sunset painted the sky red, Luke quietly followed Ivy. When she entered the storage room, he quickly moved to shut the door behind her. However, before he could do so, a strong push from behind made him stumble and fall inside the room. The door slammed shut behind him, and the sound of the lock clicking shut echoed coldly.In the dim light, Luke heard footsteps fading away and a soft giggle. He realized that someone else, possibly someone with a grudge against him, had played a prank on him."Who's there?" Ivy's voice called from the corner of the room, wary."It's me, Luke," he replied, trying to stay calm."What are you doing here?" Ivy asked, moving closer."I... I came to check if you fell into my trap," Luke

The cafeteria of the juvenile detention center was always noisy and bustling at lunchtime, filled with those who didn’t care about the rules. In the middle of the crowd, Luke and his group were mocking a weak boy, knocking his food tray to the ground.“Pick it up, or do you want me to help you lick it clean?” One of the guys sneered.The sound of cruel laughter echoed as the poor boy bent down to pick up the crumbs, his hands trembling in fear. His eyes were red, but he bit his lip tightly, trying not to let the tears fall. The crowd around them stood by, some with their arms crossed indifferently, some laughing mockingly, but no one spoke up to help. A few others looked away, as if afraid that if they interfered, they would become the next target.Ivy had just entered, and the scene immediately caught her eye. A surge of anger rose in her chest, making her grip her food tray tightly. She hated this kind of bullying—hated the silence of those who only watched. With a deep breath, she

Mason and Tegan officially became husband and wife after a journey that was anything but rushed. At first, their marriage was merely an arrangement, not born out of love.

Ryan sat silently in the large armchair in the spacious living room, his eyes unconsciously drifting over the family portraits hanging on the walls. They captured the glorious moments of his lineage—lavish parties, strategic handshakes. But no matter how many times he looked, he couldn’t find himself in any of them.The sound of hurried footsteps interrupted his thoughts. His father, William, entered the room with his usual commanding presence. His face was stern, his sharp eyes fixed on Ryan. There was no need to guess—Ryan knew this conversation was inevitable."Ryan, you must understand that your marriage to Jena is not just a personal matter. It concerns the family's honor, the interests of the entire corporation," William’s deep voice carried weight with every word.Ryan lifted his head to meet his father’s gaze. There was no hesitation in his eyes, only a firm and unyielding determination. "I understand that very well. But I cannot marry someone I don’t love. I refuse to live a

Ivy had truly become Luke’s, and Ryan could do nothing but stand there, silently witnessing it all.Clenching her lips tightly, Zoe left the banquet in silence. She knew for certain that Ryan was drowning in despair and disappointment at that very moment. This was the perfect opportunity to approach him, to feign sympathy and understanding, and slowly make him forget Ivy and turn to her instead.

Amidst the whispers, the stares, and the uproar of a hall shaken by shocking news—her world suddenly fell silent.There was only him.Only his gaze.Only his words, reaching the deepest part of her heart."I'm an imperfect woman," Ivy confessed bravely."I'm also a man with many flaws," Luke responded immediately."I'm older than you," Ivy continued."I like mature women.""I can't have children.""I don't care where the children come from, as long as you're their mother.""You’re hopelessly stupid.""I love you, Ivy. Even if the whole world turns its back on you, I will still stand by your side. So, please, don't doubt my love."Luke gently tightened his grip on her hand, his eyes unwavering as he continued to pour out his heart."Ivy, please give me a chance," he said, his voice rough with emotion.

Before leaving, she suddenly paused and turned back to glance at the table beside her—where Ryan still sat, the wine glass in his hand trembling slightly under the warm glow of the lights.She tilted her head slightly, a gentle smile gracing her lips, yet it carried an unmistakable hint of provocation."Oh, right, Ryan," she spoke slowly, her voice soft but laced with sharpness. "I’d like to invite you to my wedding tomorrow. After all, we used to know each other. It would feel incomplete without you there."Ryan tightened his grip on the glass, his knuckles turning white. His eyes darkened, as deep as an abyss, yet his face remained composed, forcing an air of indifference.Luke said nothing, merely pulling Ivy away with effortless ease.Zoe, sitting beside Ryan, sneered as she noticed his tense expression."What’s wrong? Didn’t you always claim you didn’t care about her anymore? Then why are you so mad? I’d bet Ivy did that just to get back at you.""Shut up."Ryan’s sudden outburst
