"It's still in the original bag. But, for safety reasons, I've placed that bag in my personal assistant's room," Ivy explained."Got it. What did Aurum say to you today?" Shawn responded with a nod."He confessed. He was very sincere and serious. He said he likes me, he doesn't mind my past with Paul, he admires me and is attracted to him. He also said he hopes I won't look down on him because of what happened between him and Gale..." Ivy paused."That's enough," Shawn interrupted.Aurum was disgusting. He dared bring up the matters of that night while confessing his feelings to Ivy.Ivy tightened her grip on her phone. "Mr. Wood, even though both you and I know nothing happened between Aurum and Gale that night, we still can't find any evidence. Aurum won't admit it. He even insisted in front of Paul that he had sex with Gale. What more in front of me.""Be patient. There will be opportunities," Shawn reassured her.Now, Ivy was Aurum's girlfriend. She could openly enter Aurum'

What's more, Shawn had already warned and reminded Ivy. So, he simply listened quietly."Mr. Wood, do you know that when Aurum saved me today, my heart almost stopped beating. When we first met each other, he also saved me."There was a huge swell and numerous bruises on his back. Fortunately, he didn't injure his bones. It's lucky that he'll be fine with some rest."I felt so heartbroken. Why did he risk his life like that when he clearly doesn't love me?"Ivy took a deep breath. "Mr. Wood, was the accident planned?" she asked, holding her breath, quietly waiting for Shawn's answer. She needed an answer. Even though Ivy had already guessed, she was not ready to face the truth. However, asking Shawn for an answer was like seeking torture.Shawn never beat around the bush when he spoke."To ask like this means you already have an answer in your heart. Why ask me?" Shawn replied."Heh...""You guessed right. So, don't hold onto any expectations or illusions."Ivy's heart sank co

Shawn was teaching her to be tough. He wanted her to not be soft-hearted, or emotional, and definitely not to fall in love. Finally, Shawn added, "Think about how Aurum didn't hesitate to hand you over to Paul. That should calm you down."Ivy's heart tightened. The call ended. Ivy still held the phone to her ear, lost in thought for a long time. Shawn's words were sharper than a sword. Remembering how Aurum used her and Gale to set her up, then pushed her into Paul's arms to have her raped filled Ivy's heart with hatred again.Aurum treated her as a pawn he could manipulate at will. He never considered her when he passed her to Paul. So, she would not forgive him. Why did she have to fall in love with such scum?"Aurum, Aurum..." Ivy gritted her teeth. "Even if I love you, I will make you pay for what you've done! You're not worthy of my love, you're not worthy of me! My body may be dirty, but my heart..."Is a hundred times cleaner than yours!"She curled up on the ground, hugg

However, Gale was not accurate. He almost always guessed correctly, while she relied on luck. It was also because Shawn was too good at keeping his emotions in check."Nothing much, just some company matters. I saw Aurum and Ivy together again today and felt a bit odd," Shawn said.In reality, those were not the things he was worried about. What lingered in his mind, refusing to leave, was the sight of that blood in the palm of his hand. It was blood. He knew what coughing up blood meant from a health standpoint."What were you feeling odd about? Don't you wish them well?" Gale asked."Of course, but..."Gale looked at him. "But?""Galey." After some thought, Shawn decided to gauge her reaction. "Do you think Aurum really likes Ivy?""He confessed, pursued her actively, what else could it be if not love? Ivy doesn't have anything he desires. On the contrary, if there's anyone who's marrying for benefits, it would be Ivy. But Ivy isn't the type to chase after benefits. So, they m

The detective pulled out a call record and handed it to Aurum. Aurum glanced at it. His sharp eyes caught Shawn's phone number. Ivy called Shawn? He then looked at the date of the call, and it happened to be the same day Ivy touched up her makeup in his office restroom. In other words, after Aurum sent Ivy home, her first action upon arriving home was to call Shawn. Aurum glanced at the duration of the call. It lasted a full half-hour.Aurum slammed the call record onto the table, his expression changing abruptly. "Did she hear anything? She seemed clueless and in love with me."But why? Why did she talk to Shawn for so long? And why was it on that particular evening?"I placed a bug in Ivy's bag, but I didn't hear anything."Could it be that she found the bug? Does she know everything? Has she been pretending all along?"This realization filled Aurum instantly with rage. If it was true, then Ivy could not be allowed to stay! A woman who could be duplicitous was a woman to fea

He also had to do this job properly, to satisfy his client. After all, detectives had ethics. After thinking for a moment, the detective said, "Mr. Lefting, I just heard you say that you placed a listening bug in Ms. Ivy's bag?""Yes.""Did this bug pick up anything?""Nothing at all!"It was precisely because the bug had not worked at all that Aurum was so angry. After he put the bug in Ivy's bag, it was as if it had disappeared without a trace.The detective immediately thought of a solution. "There are only two possibilities. One, Ms. Ivy hasn't discovered the bug yet, she just happened not to take that bag. Two, Ms. Ivy tampered with the bug."Aurum countered, "How can I determine if it's case one or case two?""It's simple. You retrieve the bug and take it for fingerprint analysis. See who touched it. Anyone who touched it will leave fingerprints. If she had no idea there was a bug, then her fingerprints definitely wouldn't be on it," the detective replied.Aurum paused.

The butler thought to himself, a household needs both a master and a mistress to truly come alive."Just tidy up this bit, there are still water stains."The flowers aren't fresh enough, go get another bouquet."Aurum sat on the sofa, observing it all, but his mind was elsewhere. Today, he had invited Ivy to his house. Shawn and Gale would also bring Joshua and Nicole over.It seemed like an ordinary gathering, but he had long made arrangements in his mind."Mr. Lefting, is there anything else that doesn't meet your satisfaction? Since Ms. Park hasn't arrived yet, we still have time to tidy up!" the butler asked.Aurum replied lightly, "Is it necessary to welcome Ivy with such grandeur?""She's your girlfriend, and who knows, she might be the future mistress of this household," the butler said emphatically.Aurum chuckled.Seeing his indifferent demeanor, the butler could not help but wonder. Did Mr. Lefting not like Ms. Park? But then, why were they together? Of course, the b

He casually took her bag and handed it to the butler, then led her to the sofa. The butler took the bag for safekeeping while gesturing for the other servants to quickly leave the living room, so as not to disturb Aurum and Ivy. Soon, there were only the two of them left in the living room. Ivy wore a sweet smile on her face, completely embodying the charm of a woman in love. To be honest, as long as she did not think about Aurum using her, this relationship was actually quite perfect. Aurum was a qualified and caring boyfriend. He was attentive and considerate, he would send good morning and good night messages, and he would solve any problem she had promptly."Uncle Aurum!" Suddenly, a child's voice came from outside the door. That was how Joshua was; you would be able to hear him before seeing him. He was very cheerful and quickly ran into the living room. "Wow." Joshua was the first to see Ivy and his eyes widened instantly, not blinking. "Hello, are you a fairy?" Iv

Shawn raised an eyebrow. "So, was I someone he didn't like?""You guys need to sort it out."Shawn snorted coldly."Is this Aunt Ivy?" Nicole also looked at Ivy. "You have such big and bright eyes, and such fair skin, you're really pretty."Ivy covered her face. "If you keep praising me like this, I'll get embarrassed.""Can fairies get embarrassed?" Joshua asked."Yes, they can. Hello, Joshua, nice to meet you. You're even cuter in person than in photos, a real little handsome boy," Ivy replied, reaching out to pat Joshua's head.Joshua straightened his back, striking a pose. "That's right, I'm very handsome, and very cool too.""Nicole is very beautiful too. A charming and beautiful little princess," Ivy praised Nicole again.Nicole asked, "Aunt Ivy, will I be as pretty as you when I grow up?"The fact that Ivy's appearance could receive such high praise from two children was enough to remind everyone how beautiful she was. In the entertainment industry, her beauty was unpa

"Uncle Aurum, we've met so many times, but today is the first time we've met Ivy, so of course she gets special treatment!" Joshua said., "But, you call her by her name, and you call me uncle... is that appropriate? She's my girlfriend," Aurum asked.Joshua thought about it and realized that he did not address her correctly.Should he change and call Aurum by his name too? That did not sound right either, it was awkward. Calling a grown man like Aurum as it was was excessive. However, Joshua could not bear to call Ivy an aunt. She was a fairy sister."What should we do?" Joshua looked conflicted. "Should we call her Aunt Ivy, or should we call him Aurum?" Nicole also fell into deep thought. "It's okay, either is fine. You can call us whatever you want. Aunt is fine, my name is fine, both are okay," Ivy replied. Joshua immediately shook his head. "No, it has to be Ivy, fairy Ivy!" "Uncle Aurum is just teasing you, don't take it seriously." Aurum deliberately had a straight fa
