The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 8: Ivy is not a cheap girl.
It took a while to fill out the necessary paperwork and sign the documents, then they had to pay a hefty fine. Ryan and Ivy finally got their freedom to step out of the police station. Despite being released, neither of them felt joy. They were still seething, simmering with resentment for not successfully getting revenge on each other.Now, in front of the police station entrance."What a stroke of bad luck," Ivy muttered angrily, then turned to Ryan, who happened to stand beside her, her voice irritated: "Hey, you miserable wretch, never show up in front of me again, got it?"In the darkness of anger, Ivy's curses echoed like thunder on an autumn afternoon. Ryan stood there, his face expressionless, but inside, heaven knew he was boiling. "That remark was meant for someone else," he replied, his voice icy as stone. "I hope I never have to see you again."Ivy sneered, her eyes burning like fire. "I'll pray for that to happen," she retorted, her voice cold as a dagger. "But for now, g
The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 9: The unexpected turn of events.
After Ryan returned to the city, he showed no interest in the intimate meeting between his family and his fiancée's family. Instead, he appeared cold and distant. This angered and disappointed Ryan's parents, but they couldn't do anything to change his behavior.In the days that followed, Ryan continued to focus on his work. Today, as soon as he set foot in the office, he received unexpected news that AB Company, an advertising and entertainment company, was up for sale. Initially, Ryan didn't pay much attention to this news. He considered a company going bankrupt and having to be put up for sale to be entirely normal occurrences in the business world. However, upon remembering that AB was Ivy's company, the woman who dared to confront him, Ryan, began to take more interest. Additionally, he remembered his own cruel actions and felt overwhelming guilt. Ryan believed that he may have used his influence to interfere with BL Company's decision-making, causing Ivy to be unable to sign a c
The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 10: Hateful meeting
As per Vivian's request, or rather plea, Ryan agreed to let Vivian leave after he acquired company AB, as well as keeping the entire team intact. Together, they formed a team of 20 individuals. In return, Ryan also laid out a condition that no one from company AB could resign upon his takeover. The employees had to work with Ryan for at least 3 months, after which, if anyone felt they didn't want to continue working with Ryan, they could resign. Additionally, after this time period, if Ryan didn't recognize the effectiveness of anyone's work, he had the authority to terminate their employment. Furthermore, Vivian had to recommend a suitable replacement for her position to assist Ryan in managing Company AB. Coincidentally, the person Vivian introduced to Ryan was none other than Ivy. Upon learning this, he felt that, with Ivy by his side, his revenge plan against Ivy was bound to succeed. However, Ryan didn't show any excitement when agreeing to Vivian's choice, as he wanted to avoid
The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 11: Big discovery
In that instant when their four eyes met, Ivy's eyes widened, ceasing their movement, her once elegant face suddenly paling.Ivy's expression upon seeing Ryan was a mix of astonishment and shock.While Ivy struggled to control her emotions, Ryan appeared carefree, his smug smile utterly detestable.What on earth was happening? Why was that wretched person here? Oh dear, it's unbelievable that Ryan is the new CEO! Her mind screamed, filled with indignation. "This is absurd," she muttered under her breath.Ivy's mind was in turmoil, overwhelmed by the unexpected situation. Upon realizing that this was not a dream but reality, a reality that was absurd and infuriatingly inconvenient, Ivy felt she couldn't accept the truth. She was determined to dismiss this foolish prank. Gradually regaining her composure, Ivy adopted an air of arrogance to calmly address the situation. Lowering her voice to a friendly tone, Ivy spoke."Apologies for my abrupt intrusion," Her smile was hesitant, accompan
The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 12: Threat
"Are we out of arguments to debate, then? Let me see what you'll do to get out of this." Ryan observed Ivy's contemplative expression, feeling immensely satisfied as her silence met his statement.Meanwhile, Ivy casually ran a finger over her thick, dark eyebrow, scratching it. It was a habit when she concentrated on her thoughts, and oddly enough, it was Ryan who seemed patient, waiting for her to sort through the chaos with an unprecedented interest. Finally, Ivy gently stroked her proud, long hair, stepping towards Ryan a bit, her tone questioning."I thought you'd never want to see me again, right? So what's the point of wanting me to work here?""It's just a random coincidence," Ryan reluctantly explained. "I need someone to assist in understanding the situation at AB Company as well as in directing its development, and you were recommended by Vivian, the former director. And in these tough economic times, I'm sure you also need this job. Honestly, when I acquired this company, I
The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 13: The boss's trivial revenge
The two exchanged hostile glances for what seemed like an eternity before Ryan finally shook Ivy's hand."I also look forward to your assistance," Ryan replied, along with an announcement, "From today, you will be my secretary. I hope we can work together happily.""Why a secretary?" Ivy frowned in confusion. "My position has always been in the business development department.""Secretary is the appropriate position for you," Ryan emphasized. "You will excel at it, won't you?"Ivy rolled her eyes in annoyance, understanding the underlying implication of Ryan's words. Clearly, Ryan wanted to limit Ivy's strengths, and having her nearby would make it easier for Ryan to toy with her."I understand," Ivy replied gently. "It's a position not everyone can handle. I feel valuable. Thank you very much, boss."Externally, Ivy smiled warmly, but internally, she was trying to endure. Ivy reminded herself that it would only be three months, and then everything would end. By then, she would repay
The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 14: Teasing your boss is fun
"Here's your coffee." Ivy gently placed the cup of coffee on the table in front of him. "Boss, drink it quickly before it gets cold and loses its flavor.""Even making a cup of coffee takes you too long," Ryan snapped immediately. "You really lack efficiency.""In the company kitchen, there was no more coffee, so I had to go down to the grocery store downstairs to buy it," she retorted, not backing down. "And what else do you expect from a resourceful employee like me? Instead of just criticizing others, you should care about the quality of life of your employees and stock up on other foods too, because your kitchen is lacking.""The issue is that it takes too much of your time to make a cup of coffee," he criticized sternly. "Spending too much time on one task leads to wasting too many other things.""Blame it on the broken elevator, not me. I had to walk from the first floor to the twentieth," Ivy retorted indignantly, immediately catching the unpleasant frown from her boss. Afraid
The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 15: Retaliation was unsuccessful
Ivy thought that Ryan's pestering for the day had ended. However, Ryan seemed to have another plan. He felt the need to retaliate against what Ivy had just done as soon as possible. He couldn't bear the additional discomfort tormenting him. Ryan was naturally competitive, and losing made him feel disappointed and unacceptable.Just as she turned away..."Ivy, you're mistaken." His voice, unexpectedly captivating and unusually warm, broke through the silence. "How could I ever forget those wonderful moments of that night? You called my name with a sweetness surpassing any sound I've ever heard. It was like melting chocolate or honey, irresistibly smooth." His expression seemed a bit sheepish. "I enjoyed the satisfaction and contentment on your sensual face, revealing an intense desire. Every detail of your body is etched deeply in my mind—your smooth skin, gentle fragrance, and intoxicating sweetness. The heat was radiating as our bodies merged into one. Sweat, temperature, and the hea

The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 89: Ryan forcefully kisses Ivy
Despite Ivy's generous efforts, Ryan ignored everything and continued to do as he pleased."No one is foolish enough to abandon wealth and fame to pursue love," Ryan asserted loudly, as if his words were entirely accurate. "Not to mention love with someone..." He paused, observing her deeply furrowed brow, choosing his next words carefully, more gently. "someone who is not of the same social standing. Furthermore, the two of you look quite mismatched together."It was infuriating to hear, even though she already knew it. He could have said it outright; the truth often hurts, but Ivy was upset by his attitude, which was completely disdainful and contemptuous. He indeed wanted her to react strongly, but as mentioned earlier, she wasn't in the mood today. She wanted to end this peacefully, or at least amicably."You're not him," Ivy calmly retorted. "So don't draw any arbitrary conclusions. Don't you find it ridiculous? Speak only when you're certain; then your words will be persuasive."
The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 88: Ryan is blindly jealous
Ivy had just put her bag down on the desk when he stood at the door, loudly calling out. It wasn’t a coincidence; Ryan had been deliberately waiting there for her. Ryan felt a vague annoyance, clearly standing right there, yet Ivy didn’t see him. Was she intentionally ignoring him, or did she really not notice the boss's office? Whatever the reason, it wasn’t the main issue. The main thing was that Ryan wanted to know where she had been and what she was doing with Luke.Unable to contain the curiosity churning inside him, Ryan ignored the wise words of reason and acted on the urging of his emotions.“Where have you been?” His voice was like an interrogation, followed by strong criticism. “Do you know what time it is? You’ve arrived late for the afternoon shift.”Don’t blame the rain; Ryan didn’t like that. He’d rather Ivy be honest; he would have behaved less straightforwardly and less jealously. Unfortunately, Ryan’s wish was neither heard nor fulfilled by Ivy.When called, Ivy turne
The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 87: Luke's gift
Ivy waited for so long, but the rain didn't stop, time was passing quickly, and the afternoon shift was approaching. Worried about getting scolded, Ivy decided to brave the rain and walk back to the office. Actually, Ivy could have called Ryan, making up an excuse to take the afternoon off, or she could have done as she usually did and provoked Ryan. But she didn't do that. How should I properly describe Ivy's current condition? Maybe, Today, Ivy wasn't in the mood to argue, debate, or reason with her boss. She just wanted peace. Today was May 15th, one of the saddest and most gloomy days for Ivy.However, Ivy's intention to return to the company was interrupted by Luke.Luke had offered to take her home. Ideally, Ivy should have known to keep a safe distance from him, not giving him any opportunity or hope to get closer to her. She should have shown reluctance, politely declining his concern. Yet she inexplicably agreed. Perhaps Ivy feared the feeling of loneliness and emptiness whil
The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 86: Ivy agrees to help Luke again.
"Up until now, I still haven't seen a single dollar transferred from you," Ivy said sternly, without any further delay, addressing Luke's anticipation and eagerness. "Your delay makes me anxious and worried, thinking I might have been scammed. Since we happen to meet here, please settle your debt with me. Rest assured, I won’t charge any interest, even though it's overdue by a week."What? Oh my, so that's the reason for Ivy's restlessness and irritation. Luke had seriously misunderstood and even had wildly inaccurate assumptions. Honestly, if Ivy hadn't bluntly reminded him, he might have forgotten.Having said that, Ivy calmly held out her hand towards him, patiently waiting. Luke didn't feel annoyed at all; on the contrary, he was genuinely impressed with her impeccable straightforwardness. She didn't fear offending anyone or worry about what others thought of her. Some might even look down on her, assuming she was materialistic and money-driven. As for him, he certainly didn’t fee
The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 85: Luke gets to see Ivy again
In recent days, Luke has been busy with company projects, with no time to attend to personal matters. After finishing his main tasks, he's feeling restless, unable to find a way to contact Ivy. He tried calling the service center but was told they had no information. Since Ivy left her job, all contact has been cut off, leaving only her personal phone number. Frustratingly, every time he calls, no one answers because Ivy's phone is in his possession. Her phone is locked by security, so he can't access her contacts. After waiting for days, no one bothers to contact her number.Feeling down, Luke suddenly receives good news: a subordinate informs him that someone has come to the hotel to inquire about Ivy's bag. That someone turns out to be Jena, who, upon receiving a request from Ivy, took the opportunity of her free time to come and retrieve the bag for her. Unfortunately, she arrived late, and the luggage department staff informed her that Ivy's bag had already been sent directly to
The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 84: No one supports Ryan
"Mason, you know what to do, right?" Ryan suppressed his anger as he turned to the lawyer."What are you talking about? I don't understand." Mason pretended to be clueless in this situation."Quickly get her into jail for me. She's committed defamation, framing me." Ryan calmly made his decision, giving orders to the lawyer while glaring at Jena. Hearing this, Jena smirked cynically, and Mason shook his head in disdain. Ivy remained indifferent, showing no interest.So tired; it's only morning and already so noisy. Ivy's peaceful morning sky was once again disrupted by Ryan, just like last time. Seriously, there's something to criticize about these two grown-up kids. They're grown up but behave like ten-year-olds. There's something to say; you have to control your emotions and think carefully. Because if you keep arguing recklessly like that, you'll ruin your image. Adults are different from kids in that they know how to think, deal with situations, and not just forget about their bra
The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 83: Ryan wants to sue Jena
This morning, Jena impulsively stopped by Ivy's house. On her way up, she caught Mason asking Ivy's neighbor where she lived. Feeling suspicious, Jena boldly approached to strike up a conversation, investigating whether he had any ill intentions.After a while of getting acquainted, Jena enthusiastically led the way for Ryan. Because she often visited, Jena had a spare key to Ivy's house, and Ivy had personally allowed her to freely come and go. As usual, there was no knock on the door to announce their presence to the couple inside, so both of them were caught off guard.Embarrassed, angry, bewildered, and shocked... This mix of emotions created a stifling atmosphere that was hard to breathe in.After an awkward silence, Ivy awkwardly stood up, while Ryan hurriedly pulled up his pants.Oh God, what a terribly awkward situation! Ryan wanted to die; he wanted to vanish into thin air right away."I apologize; did we disturb your intimate moment?" Mason regained his composure and made a
The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 82: Accidents cause misunderstandings
"If you're not going to criticize the food I made, then breakfast is done. You can eat a little. And it would be better if you showed gratitude instead of being unappreciative or disdainful. After all, the food here isn't as fancy and upscale as at your home."Ivy spoke up, deliberately reminding Ryan not to refuse and not to express criticism about what Ivy had taken the trouble to prepare. After saying that, she sat down at the table and quickly devoured the sandwich slices.Understanding Ivy's implication, Ryan didn't dare to express his opinions or make excessive demands. He couldn't refuse, so he ate everything because he was hungry. It must be admitted, the flavors weren't bad, especially the tomato jam Ivy made herself.Throughout the meal, an unusually quiet atmosphere prevailed. One would have expected some banter or attempts to understand each other, but Ivy seemed uninterested in conversation. Seeing this, Ryan had no reason to provoke her. If it had been before he knew the
The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 81: Noisy morning
Ivy thought she would have a peaceful morning like any other day, but unfortunately, that was not possible in Ryan's presence. Around 5:45, she was startled by a loud noise. She quickly jumped up and rushed towards the source of the sound. It was the bathroom."What happened?" Ivy barged in, forgetting to knock. Her panic subsided when she saw Ryan crawling on the floor, soaking wet. Above him, the sink was incessantly dripping water. When he saw her, he pretended to grope around as if he couldn't see properly.How funny! Ryan had gone this far, Ivy thought with a sigh. In fact, she knew he was pretending to be blind to play a prank on her. His unnatural behavior the night before had given away his poor acting skills. Especially since he had found his way to the bathroom quite easily while she was asleep. The truth was, she hadn't gotten a wink of sleep. Partly because Ivy had a sleep disorder, partly because of her wandering thoughts. She had slept very little, and even the smallest
