When Vallerie and Scarlett were in the same hospital where Ivy was being treated, Ivy and her sister accidentally bumped into Scarlett in the lobby who was going to be taken to the ER. Ivy looked still weak because her health had not fully recovered, but she insisted on going home. The nurse pushed Scarlett's wheelchair while Ruby was carrying her sister out of the hospital. Ivy didn't expect her to meet the woman who had ruined her relationship with Alistair. She stared coldly at Alistair's former secretary who was opposite her. Seeing in front of her was the former lover of the CEO of the hotel where she worked, Victoria who felt close to Ivy spontaneously approached her while smiling broadly at Ivy. Scarlett lowered her head to avoid Ivy's angry eyes. "Good morning, Miss Ivy. How are you?" said Vallerie kindly. Realizing that someone was greeting her, Ivy immediately turned her gaze to Vallerie then she replied to the receptionist in a curt tone of voice. "Good morning, Miss Val
That night Ruby stayed at her parents' house to accompany Ivy, the next day Ruby took Ivy for a walk to the mall, buying clothes, baby equipment, lunch at the mall and so on. Ivy loved seeing her sister often so she could confide in Ruby. Meanwhile Scarlett was at home because she had to rest after spraining her leg yesterday. Scarlett planned to return to work at the hotel even if she failed to bring Ivy to Alistair. Scarlett thought it was useless asking Ivy to meet Alistair because yesterday at the hospital, Ivy swore at Scarlett in front of Ruby and Alistair's employees. While she was contemplating a new plan to get close to Alistair, Scarlett's parents invited Mr. Owen, his wife and their child to dinner at Scarlett's house. Without the woman knowing, her parents arranged her to marry a handsome and wealthy man named Frederick. That afternoon, Mrs. Owen cooked a variety of delicious dishes to serve to her future in-laws. She was so excited that he didn't have time to ask how
"Alright, if you still choose that doctor to be your husband, you can no longer serve as CEO at Vernon Bank," said Mr. Lefrancois, looking seriously at Ivy. "It doesn't matter to me, the important thing is that I can marry doctor Alvin," Ivy smiled wryly. "Then Ruby should take your place there," said Pierre looking at Ruby. "I don't want to run Dad's company, besides now I am working at Dawson University," Ruby said indifferently. Hearing his daughter's words, Pierre frowned as he looked at Ruby with a bleary look, "What do you work for at that university?" "I work as a lecturer," Ruby replied proudly. "Since when did you work there, My Daughter?" Leah asked curiously. Ruby shifted her gaze to Leah then answered her mother's question "Since 6 months ago.""Well done, Ruby. I am proud of you. Finally you can achieve what you want. I don't think you need to heed your father's request. Later, let me be the CEO of the bank." Leah smiled broadly at Ruby."You can't do that, Leah! H
"Alvin, who's that coming? Take a look son," Jayne said. "Alright, Mom," doctor Alvin nodded slowly then he quickly got up from his seat, stepped to the door and opened the door. Alvin saw in front of him two beautiful and elegant women, Ruby and Ivy. Without shame and awkwardness, he immediately hugged Ivy tightly. "Miss Ivy, how are you?" he asked while hugging Ivy, he was very happy when Ivu came to see him at the hospital. "I-I'm fine, Doctor," Ivy answered haltingly, she was surprised by Alvin's doctor's attitude which suddenly became friendlier. "Hmm, it looks like someone can't wait to be my sister's husband soon," Ruby teased, she glanced at Alvin's doctor and smiled happily. Doctor Alvin quickly removed his arms from Ivy's body, then he looked at Ruby, "I am sorry, I was too excited to meet Miss Ivy so I—" "It doesn't matter, Doc. I know how you feel," Ruby added, winking at the handsome doctor. "Doctor, Sis, can we talk outside? There is something I want to tell you,
Great night for Ivy and doctor Alvin, they have dinner with Ivy's sister and the doctor's family. They chatted, joked, and talked about their wedding plans. Doctor Alvin's father was excited and happy to know that his son will marry a beautiful and elegant woman who is the CEO of Vernon Bank, he accepted Ivy as she was and didn't mind her past with Alistair. "Ivy, won't you invite your mom and dad to join us?" asked Mr. Patrick. Ivy lifted her face then looked at doctor Alvin's father who was sitting in front of her, she shook her head, "No Sir. They are busy with their own business." "So it seems," Mr. Patrick smiled faintly. "Ivy Darling, why don't we come to your house tomorrow night and meet your parents there. You don't mind, do you?" Jayne's turn to ask her future dauhgter-in-law. "I don't mind, Ma'am," Ivy replied. "I will propose to you in front of them, I mean in front of your parents and also your sister," interrupted doctor Alvin, he smiled happily and suddenly Ivy's
Scarlett was furious with her parents and Alistair. Everyone in the dining room looked at each other and wondered what had happened to Scarlett? The dinner was a mess because Scarlett not only screamed in her room, but also threw bolster pillows on the floor and threw all her make-up lats with a bang.She did not like the presence of Frederick and his parents at home, she also refused an arranged marriage. Regina quickly got up from her seat and stepped into her daughter's room, opened the door wide and immediately slapped her. "Scarlett! What are you doing?! Do you want to embarrass your mother and father in front of Mr. Wallace's family?!" rebuked Regina with bleary eyes. Scarlett looked back at her mother as she lifted her face, "Why did you slap me?! I didn't mean to embarrass you and daddy in front of them!" "But you have really gone too far! Mother has never seen you this angry!" Regina shook her head while holding her chest which suddenly felt tight. "If Mom and Dad still
"Ha, ha, ha, well done Bro. Just take advantage of that woman," Caitlin said laughing out loud, she gave Alistair her right thumb. "Of course, Caitlin," said Alistair, he raised an eyebrow. One week later, Alistair tried to contact Ivy but her cellphone was off. He looked for Ivy at her house, but Ivy wasn't there either. Alistair didn't just give up, he made an appointment with his girlfriend at Vernon Bank but the woman refused to meet Alistair. On a sunny spring morning, Scarlett relaxed in her chair smiling brightly. She was waiting for Alistair to return from Vernon Bank. It didn't take long for Alistair to arrive, she stepped into the CEO's room without ignoring his secretary. Seeing this handsome man appear before her, Scarlett immediately stood up, chased after him, and held Alistair's hand. "Sir, wait. I want to talk to you," Scarlett said, looking at Alistair who was standing with his back to her. Alistair roughly brushed off Scarlett's hand, then he turned towards the
One week later, Scarlett and Alistair went to Chicago to meet James and attend a painting exhibition held by James. Scarlett sat beside Alistair on a business class plane, she tried to engage her boss in conversation but Alistair was indifferent to her. "Sir, I am very pleased you invited me to go to Chicago," said Scarlett with a broad smile. "I asked you because I needed a friend while I was there, don't think about it," said Alistair curtly. "I don't think anything of it," Scarlett replied, she stared into Alistair's eyes making Alistair feel uncomfortable. "Do you still hope that one day I will be your boyfriend?" asked Alistair, he snorted in annoyance. Scarlett nodded her head, "Of course, I still hope that you will open your heart to me and become my boyriend. Why do you expect a woman who has rejected you?" "It's up to me whether I wish for Ivy or not, that's none of your business. It's better for you to be quiet and never interfere in my affairs again," Alistair said fi
