The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 55: Malicious Rumors About Ivy
In the face of Luke's reaction and attitude, Mariko suddenly found herself at a disadvantage, feeling anxious and afraid. She wondered: What's happening here? Everything was unfolding completely contrary to the scenario Mariko had envisioned. It was nothing like what her mother had predicted, boosting her morale before going into battle. Everything was messed up, not to mention being turned back to attack Mariko's spirit. Indeed, human plans are no match for divine arrangements. Unconsciously, Mariko swallowed hard under the pressure that Luke had just put on her. Mariko should have known better than to get involved with such a resolute man, one with a cool head who always carefully considers his words and actions before speaking or acting. Standing directly in front of Luke was already difficult, let alone dealing with him. "I just wanted to help you see through that deceitful person," Mariko said, feeling confused and hesitant. "I thought you would open your eyes and see who truly

Returning to the main issue, which is more important, how does Ivy's scandal relate to Ryan's company? Of course, it does. In the post, there's a very concerning detail. Ivy allegedly got hired at the company by sleeping with Ryan, the CEO. This rumor tarnished his reputation and devalued the company. However, it seems that Ryan hasn't noticed that detail yet, prompting the lawyer to remind him. "Do you notice the detail that connects to you?" the lawyer asked. "What is it?" He feigned innocence. Was he kidding? If he pretended to be naive, he better watch out for Mason. Stirring up trouble unnecessarily amidst a crisis. Disappointed by his boss's blank expression and attentive waiting, Mason silently thought, Sometimes Ryan's mind doesn't function optimally. Understandably, he had to deal with a lot as the boss. "What's wrong? It looks serious, isn't it?" Seeing his friend unnaturally silent, Ryan anxiously pressed for an answer, guessing the scale of the situation. "There's a

There was a palpable tension in the air, with nobody knowing what Ivy was contemplating."Ivy, are you still there?" Jena called out.She heard but didn't respond."Hey Ivy."She remained lost in thought."Ivy," Mason gently called, patting her shoulder. Ivy glanced at him before returning to her phone call."Sorry, I was a bit distracted." Ivy maintained her steady tone, as if the situation had little effect on her emotions."What are you planning to do now? Are you okay?" Jena probed with concern."What do you mean by 'what am I planning to do'?" Ivy calmly countered, maintaining a demeanor that left others speechless, notably Mason, who had been observing her."Are you sure you're okay?" Jena persisted, seeking to ascertain that Ivy's nerves were intact and not shaken to a concerning extent due to the shock."I'm still fine, boringly fine," Ivy said cheerfully,

After a period of tense and exhausting contemplation, when she had come to a decisive decision, she felt she needed rest to treat herself to a bit of relaxation. Most importantly, Ivy, despite facing difficulties and seriousness, never skipped her lunch. Therefore, she didn't hesitate to stroll downstairs for a meal. It was no surprise that when most people in the company, including building staff, saw Ivy appear at the restaurant on the ground floor, they made snide remarks, showing disgust. Even the person behind the counter openly treated Ivy unfairly when trying to order food. They deliberately took the leftovers from the pot instead of giving her delicious food like everyone else. Today, Ivy had forgotten to pack her bento, which is why she had to eat here, or else she wouldn't have become the focus of public attention.Honestly, it was utterly boring. But she just shrugged it off. She was not going to get angry with these foolish people.After picking up her meal, Ivy glanced ar

With keen observation of his surroundings, Mason noticed that many people were intrigued by Ivy's gossip. This meant that half of his plan had succeeded. Relying on this achievement, Mason proceeded to implement his idea.Clearing his throat, he spoke. "You're exaggerating; I'm not like that at all." Mason waved his hand, shaking his head. "Compared to many others, I'm far behind.""Don't be modest," Ivy encouraged earnestly. "Among the 999 men I've met and had the chance to interact and work with, you are one of the few who have received high praise from me. You should be proud of that. My friends know that I'm quite discerning and picky when it comes to trusting others, especially men."With an emphasis on her tone and somewhat imposing words expressing her personal thoughts, Mason felt Ivy seemed to be facing a serious issue regarding her own beliefs and personal perspective. However, in this situation, amidst the unpleasant circumstances, it wasn't convenient to delve deeper into

After witnessing the entire conversation between Mason and Ivy, Ryan had some related reflections. Assuming Ivy had succeeded in clearing her name in front of everyone in the company, however, in the end, public opinion still held the greatest sway, causing him to lose his direction. Unlike Mason, who easily brushed off everything, showing no interest or curiosity, he reached the point of itching to update himself on the latest news about Ivy's scandal. Ryan was completely the opposite; he found himself intrigued by the developments in the situation. He couldn't explain why he had become like this. He only knew it had something to do with Ivy that he couldn't ignore. However, what's noteworthy is that after knowing, instead of thinking wisely, he let himself be swept away by the current. Ryan admitted he was someone who found it very hard to trust others, especially women. Therefore, despite the wise saying that "words are wind," he still had negative thoughts about her. It was all ju

Mason calmly held Ivy's hand, helping her apply ointment. He also told sarcastic stories to distract Ivy, helping her forget about the pain. Meanwhile, Ivy laughed cheerfully at Mason's remarks. Ryan witnessed this scene and felt unjustifiably angry, silently seething. How could Ivy casually joke with Mason like that? What was their relationship? Then Ryan retraced his memories, remembering that Mason had once admitted to liking Ivy. Could it be that they had developed a romantic relationship? If so, it was all quite normal, and it shouldn't concern Ryan. However, why did Ryan feel uncomfortable? Unless... But he quickly dismissed any vague feelings of attraction and instead felt displeased. He believed Ivy wasn't worthy of Mason. Ryan was determined to oppose their relationship and find a way to advise Mason to stay away from Ivy.At this point, in Ryan's eyes, Ivy remained the villain. It was truly disheartening.After Mason left, Ryan immediately called Ivy into his office."You ca

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

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.

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?
