This project was not only large but also crucial to the future of Ryan’s company, especially since he had just taken over the leadership position from the former director—a man who had once been Ivy’s friend. Because of its significance, Ryan only selected people he truly trusted to participate, and Ivy was one of the few entrusted with such responsibility.From the very beginning, Ryan placed special emphasis on security. All documents related to business strategies, implementation plans, and partnership agreements were strictly protected. 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. This left Ryan with no choice but to suspect that there was a traitor within the company.He immediately ordered an investigation. The results were soon determined—all evidence pointed directly at Ivy.A bribed IT employee had exploited system a

After achieving her goal, Zoe left Ryan’s office with a satisfied smile. She knew that what she had just done had planted seeds of doubt in Ryan’s heart, and with just one more push, Ivy would have no way to turn the situation around.Descending to the lobby, Zoe deliberately walked toward Ivy, her gaze cold and calculating. Ivy was focused on printing documents for an upcoming meeting, but she immediately noticed Zoe’s presence and frowned slightly."Ivy, can we talk for a moment?" Zoe spoke, her tone seemingly humble, yet her eyes carried a provocative glint.Ivy met Zoe’s gaze head-on, making no effort to hide her indifference. "There’s nothing for us to talk about.""Oh, but I think you’ll want to hear this." Zoe took a step closer, lowering her voice. "For example, the fact that Ryan now knows everything about you."Ivy stiffened for a brief second but quickly regained her composure. "So what?"Zoe smiled and suddenly raised her hand as if about to strike Ivy. Out of reflex, Ivy

"I asked you to apologize to Zoe. What's so funny about that?" Ryan's irritation grew at Ivy’s dismissive attitude toward him and everyone else."You reached a conclusion without even asking me anything?" Ivy stopped laughing, wisely challenging Ryan. "So this is what you call favoritism for someone important to you? Thanks for opening my eyes."She emphasized someone important as if to remind Ryan of their relationship. However, at this moment, Ryan was overwhelmed by negative emotions after discovering the supposed truth about Ivy. His expression unknowingly caused her pain, yet he remained oblivious to it."After hearing Zoe’s claims, do you have anything to say, Ivy?" Ryan asked. He suddenly found her words reasonable, and so did the others. This shift in the crowd’s perception made Zoe slightly uneasy. She feared that Ivy’s words might undermine the advantage she had gained.Zoe quickly considered speaking up, acting as if she wanted everyone to drop the matter, pretending she di

"Don't put on that stupid look here. Answer the question properly," Ryan scolded impatiently."You believe what she says... instead of finding out the truth?" Ivy’s voice was soft but sharp."I only believe in evidence, and the evidence is right here. Now, tell me—what is your motive?" Ryan was eager for an answer."Alright then." Ivy nodded slightly, her expression turning cold.She placed the stack of documents back on the nearest table and swept her gaze over the people surrounding her. No one knew what Ivy was planning to do next."So, you're admitting it?" Zoe quickly spoke up, trying to corner Ivy into a dead end.Ivy looked straight at Zoe and smirked. "Admit what? That you're a lowly, worthless piece of trash? When it comes to fabricating stories and making false accusations, I must admit—you have an outstanding talent."Zoe choked, her face turning pale, unable to utter a word. She hadn't expected Ivy to strike back so sharply, completely turning the situation around in an in

After Ivy left, Mason stepped into Ryan's office, his sharp gaze seeming to pierce straight into Ryan’s soul. Without wasting words, he placed a thick folder on the desk, his voice calm yet weighted with significance.“Ryan, this is the evidence proving Ivy’s innocence.”Ryan leaned back in his chair, his indifferent eyes skimming over the folder in front of him. He didn’t rush to open it; instead, he frowned, skepticism evident in his expression.“How did you get this?” His voice was low, carefully concealing the turmoil within. “And how do I know it’s trustworthy?”Mason chuckled lightly, not answering right away. He could see the battle raging inside Ryan—between reason and emotion.“Ivy asked me to gather everything,” Mason said plainly. “Before everything happened, she anticipated trouble and asked me to secretly monitor the situation, collect evidence. She didn’t want to be falsely accused, and she didn’t want you to be manipulated.”Ryan stiffened, his fingers unconsciously cle

Under the gentle glow of golden lights, the soothing melody of a piano intertwined with the scent of red wine and roses, creating a romantic atmosphere in the upscale restaurant. Ivy rested her chin on her hand, slowly swirling the crimson liquid in her glass, though she had no intention of taking a sip. Her gaze was distant, as if lost in deep thought.It had been a week since she and Ryan had stopped contacting each other. Ivy knew his personality well—his pride would never allow him to be the one to reach out first. But what he didn’t know was that once she decided to let go, there was no turning back. She wasn’t the kind of woman to waver because of fleeting emotions. When she said Ryan was no longer a part of her life, it meant his name had been completely erased from her heart.In that same week, Ivy had agreed to date Luke. Their relationship was nothing like hers with Ryan. If Ryan was like a fierce storm, sweeping everything away with passion but leaving behind nothing but wo

"What?" Zoe almost screamed. "Are you out of your mind, Ivy Green? Or are you so desperate for a man that you've thrown away all your dignity?"Faced with Zoe’s provocation, Ivy merely glanced at her, leisurely took a sip of wine, then calmly replied, "I don’t like dragging things out. Getting married sooner means I won’t have to worry about someone lurking around my groom." She slowly set her glass down, her sharp gaze sweeping over Zoe. "When it comes to shamelessness, I wouldn’t dare compete with you. Someone like you, who stops at nothing, should be my mentor."Zoe's face darkened, her hands clenched so tightly that her nails nearly dug into her palms."No matter what you say, it won’t change the fact that you’re a despicable woman."Ivy tilted her head slightly, a smirk playing on her lips."Despicable? How exactly?" Her voice was slow, laced with mockery. "I’m beautiful, I’m attractive, and I have many men pursuing me. I simply choose the best option for myself. What’s so wrong

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

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.

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

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

Under the fading twilight, the soft melody from Ivy and Luke’s wedding still echoed behind, mingling with the laughter of the guests. But Zoe had no intention of staying any longer. This event had not gone the way she had hoped. 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. If she was patient enough, she believed she could have Ryan.However, just as she stepped out of the wedding venue, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking her path. Zoe frowned as she recognized Mason."Get out of my way," she snapped, trying to sidestep him, but Mason stood firm like an immovable stone, his sharp eyes locking onto hers."Zoe, stop t

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. "I don't ask for anything more than to fill the emptiness in your heart. I know you've suffered too much, endured too many losses that have made you unwilling to love or trust anyone agai

Ryan had initially refused to attend, unable to accept the reality, but in the end, he relented under Mason’s reasoning and forced himself to be there.The wedding reception was held at one of the most luxurious restaurants in the city. The venue was dazzling, adorned with fresh flowers and bathed in the warm glow of crystal chandeliers.
