Ivanka furrowed her brows tightly and stared at Michael grimly. He was being ridiculous. What did he mean by “play along”?What happened between them? What was she even obliged to “play along” with?Meeting his sharp, unwavering gaze, Ivanka’s patience gradually wore out. At last, she said in a somber voice, “What on earth do you want?”At that moment, Ivanka was lying on the couch with Michael on top of her. She could not free herself from his grip.The look in Michael’s eyes became even colder. Seeing her genuinely clueless expression, his rage grew and seethed for no reason. Michael himself was astounded. Since when did Ivanka manage to affect his emotions? This did not look good.But he could not help saying icily, “What do you think? Now the whole company is talking about us. Ivanka, I have asked you the same questions so many times. Are you that forgetful?”Ivanka said, “What… are you trying to say?”She was genuinely clueless, and the impatience in her eyes only grew, w

Michael’s expression darkened as his urge to punish Ivanka grew stronger. This was not her first time scolding him like this.This time, while she was scolding him, he interrupted her. “Ivanka, this is what you get for not listening to me.”He deepened his kiss with Ivanka and held her head. This made it harder for her to struggle. He suddenly pulled back his hand and slipped it into her clothes. Ivanka was shocked and turned pale as she felt his touch on her bare lower abdomen. She trembled.At that moment, she stopped resisting and said, “Michael, you really know how to humiliate me, don’t you?”She mumbled because Michael was still kissing her, but he heard her loud and clear. He stopped and subconsciously looked at her.He stiffened when he saw how pale and desolate Ivanka looked.His expression changed as he instantly came back to his senses.What had he done?He quickly let go of her. How could he let her anger him to the point of losing his composure?!While he was da

Even after returning to her office, Ivanka could not calm down.The earlier incident remained vivid in her mind!She closed her eyes and took a deep breath to try to compose herself.She wanted to brush off all the bad things that happened earlier, but she could never let it slide. How dare he humiliate her?! If she did let it slide, she would suffocate in anger.She took a deep breath and massaged the muscle between her eyebrows.He had behaved this way more than once. She would not give in to his behavior.As she thought of that, she picked up her phone and called him.Michael was surprised to see Ivanka’s call. He picked it up with a stern face.Before he could say anything, Ivanka said, “I’m visiting Grandma tonight.”His expression darkened. “What are you up to?”She sneered, “What do you mean? You’re the one who told me to regularly visit Grandma.”Michael frowned. “Let’s go together after work “Ivanka hung up without saying anything further.She knew he was worried

“Tell me! I’ll stand up to you! Who dares run their mouths off? We won’t stand for such injustice!” Rosie said firmly. Her eyes were cold. The kindly demeanor she usually had was gone. All Ivanka could sense at the moment was that cold, unyielding demeanor. She was quite surprised. Perhaps it was because she had never seen Rosie behave in such a way before and never thought that Rosie could be so awe-inspiring. She had always thought that Rosie was a proper, elegant, upper-class lady. To think that she could be so intimidating…Ivanka felt a warmth blossom in her heart as she watched Rosie behave in such a manner. After staying silent for a moment, Ivanka sighed. “Forget it, Grandma. We can’t control what other people say. Let them say whatever they want.”“No! Tell me! I want to know what they said!”A conflicted look appeared in Ivanka’s eyes. She did not say anything. Michael sized Ivanka up. Something was off about her today. She had never cared about how other peo

Michael could not help but laugh. “Not a good idea?” Was this not what she wanted? Was this why she came today? Ivanka’s gaze fell on Michael’s face, but she did not seem embarrassed at all. Instead, she nodded naturally at him. “How could this be a good idea? How could you possibly stoop to pick nine hundred and ninety-nine roses for me? One or two roses might be manageable, but nine hundred and ninety-nine is terrifying.” Once again amused and angered by Ivanka, Michael gritted his teeth. “What’s so terrifying about it? It’s just nine hundred and ninety-nine roses. Consider it exercise. You brat, go do it now!” Ivanka lowered her head slightly and said nothing more. She came today for this reason. Since Michael dared to bully her, he had to face the consequences. Michael’s face grew increasingly darker, and he did not say a word or show any intention of moving. Seeing this, Rosie’s expression darkened. “What do you mean? Don’t want to go? Ivanka has been talked about
