Chapter 120: Unwavering support

Ivy glided to the dining table, attempting to pour herself a glass of wine, but her hand hovered over the glass bottle, her fingers hesitating like a bird poised for flight. She sighed, her breath escaping with a sharp whoosh as she laid her hand down on the table."How can I bring myself to eat or drink anything after what happened?"Zack glanced at her, rising to his feet, his gaze softening as he approached her. His comforting hand stroked her shoulders while he tilted his head toward her ear. "It will be over soon. Finally, we found a lead; it will be only a matter of time before the mastermind is revealed."Ivy exhaled, her eyes rolling incredulously. "I doubt that..." She shrugged his hands off her shoulders, twisting around to face him. "She might be the lead, but she won't spill any information..."Zack cupped her cheek to calm the raging tension building within her. "Ivy....""Didn't you hear what she said?" She interrupted him, her voice breaking slightly. "She won't talk...

Chapter 121: Fishing out the culprit

Hours ticked by, and the once serene villa turned into a crime scene, with detectives scouring every corner, checking surveillance footage and whatnot. The staff were on high alert, cooperating with the team in any way they could.After what seemed like forever in their investigation, the detectives strode into the living room where Zack and Ivy were waiting.Ivy silently observed the expressions on the men's faces, especially Finn's. There was a hint of frustration on his face as he sauntered towards them. Callus, on the other hand, was emotionless, scrolling through his iPad with all seriousness."So, how did it go?" Ivy asked, snapping Callus's focus towards her.Callus put away the device, letting out a silent sigh. "She is very stubborn, but she will speak up with time."Ivy rolled her eyes, her back slumping on the sofa. "Just as I expected; she made it clear she wouldn't say a thing.""Like I said, it will only take some time... eventually she will say something..." Callus repl

Chapter 122: Confrontation (1)

Ivy sipped her freshly brewed coffee, gazing out the window of the cozy French bistro. She felt disconnected from the warmth and comfort as her mind was a thousand miles away. This was it, one of the final straws to pull herself from the clutches of danger... that's if the conversation with her sister went as she planned... She adjusted her posture in her seat as the sound of high heels clinked on the terracotta tiles. Irene approached her with a strut, her eyes gleaming with superciliousness as she pulled out the chair, cutting off pleasantries. Ivy overlooked her behavior; at least she showed up looking like herself without a guise to mimic her face. She exhaled softly with a bogus smile spreading on her face, her eyes squinting with feigned delight. "Thanks for honoring my invite..." "Oh please, cut the formality and bullshit..." Irene replied abruptly, settling into the exquisite chair. "And what's up with the choice of restaurant, huh? What are you trying to do?" Irene

Chapter 123: Confrontation (2)

A frown settled on Irene's face when she heard Ivy. A low chuckle escaped her lips as she stared at her incredulously. "What are you talking about? Drugged? When did I ever drug you..."Ivy didn't respond, her eyes fixed on her as if willing her to admit to it. While they continued their staring match, Ivy's heart thudded slightly while her mind raced, trying to ascertain what Irene might be thinking.Finally, after a few seconds of strained silence, Irene broke the impasse, her voice laced with defiance. "Okay, I admit. I did drug you. So what are you gonna do..."Ivy's expression remained unreadable, but inwardly her heart twisted with overwhelming emotions. As if betraying her wasn't enough, she continuously tried to ruin her career at any chance she got, but now she had gone overboard."Why?" Ivy asked, her voice barely audible. "What was your malicious reason for doing that...""And why are you asking me that? Stop pretending to be oblivious; you know the reason..." Irene replied

Chapter 124: Confrontation (3)

BACK AT THE BISTRO Irene's chest heaved slightly, suppressing her anger. "You are such a daredevil. You know how your claim riles me up, and you keep repeating it over and over again...." she said through gritted teeth, her face scrunched up in annoyance. They were staring at each other, just a few inches apart. The air was filled with heavy tension and unspoken emotions. Ivy still had her hand on her cheek; her fingers began sliding down her face as her gaze remained fierce. She walked closer to her, each step reverberating with defiance. "I will keep saying it until you finally see the truth... our father was never a murderer..." she said, her tone firm and provocative. Irene raised her hand again to slap her, but Ivy quickly predicted her action. Swiftly, she gripped Irene's hand, her eyes shooting daggers at her. "Let go of my hand," Irene warned, her eyes twitching from sheer anger. A smirk curved up Ivy's lips, a smug reflection visible in her eyes. "You know what you

Chapter 125: An enemy I need to watch out for in the future...

That reminiscence seemed to have triggered her emotions again. She hastened to the limo, her heart racing with soft thuds as she blinked back all the tears threatening to stream down her face. She never expected her plan of confronting her sister would lead to her mental breakdown. NO, SHE REJECTS BREAKDOWNS; SHE HAS TO BE STRONG TO FIGHT WHAT'S AHEAD.She shut her feelings out, despite them still creeping to the surface, and strode to the limo parked on the side. The door was opened for her, and she hopped in, burying her face under her palm without glancing at the men seated beside her.Zack instantly wrapped his comforting hand around her, hoping to make her calm down, but it was futile. She remained in that posture, making no sound.Finn and Callus exchanged glances, holding back the report they wanted to give as they sensed her distress.Finn cleared his throat while Callus took the initiative to pack up their belongings, ready to leave them to their privacy."Um... we should pro

Chapter 126: A ruse

Arriving at the villa took less than an hour. Ivy quickly stepped out of the limo, her heart heavy with sorrow—one that never seemed to fade away over the years. Unfortunately, her sister had ignited the old flames, and it was burning in its wake. Despite changing the subject to Jake Black while they rode back home, she couldn't get her conversation with Irene out of her head. It deeply reminded her of her past ordeal, which was filled with death and anguish.She tried brushing off the memory constantly clouding her mind so she could focus on the battle ahead. Yet her efforts to conceal those emotions were futile.She hastened to her bedroom, purposely ignoring Zack, who was calling her and following behind, wondering what was wrong. Yeah, he knew what was wrong, but he didn't know which of the situations was overwhelming her more. Was it about her sister claiming her father as a murderer or the imminent danger lurking in the shadows with the mastermind unknown?He couldn't pinpoint w

Chapter 127: Next action

Zack was fed up waiting, so he pushed open the door only to find out it wasn't locked as he had initially thought. Ivy was seated on the bed with her arms crossed, her expression unreadable. Zack stared at her for a bit before pointing to the door. "I thought you locked it..." Ivy shook her head, retaining her expression as if forcing herself to be neutral. Zack sighed and sat beside her, his soft gaze fixed solely on her as his hand wrapped around her shoulder.Ivy had her head turned to avoid meeting his gaze, and Zack quickly understood what was going on. A small smile tugged up the corner of his lips, and his face drew nearer until they were a few inches apart. His hand delicately framed her chin, pulling her face closer to his.As much as Ivy wanted to resist, she couldn't. She found herself yielding to his unspoken command with no room for defiance. Her eyes locked into his, wandering over his impeccable face, putting aside her earlier tantrum. Zack's smile slowly faded, his

Chapter 128: Manipulation (1)

Ivy emerged from the sleek matte black Aston Martin, its gullwing door swooping open with a soft whoosh. As she stepped onto the crimson carpet, the golden ray of the morning sun danced across her polished stiletto. Her white V-neck suit-like top and loose pants shimmered with luxury, coupled with a matching short veil adorning her face.Walking towards the modern facade of the 'Aurora Museum of Art and Culture,' the plunking sound of her heels reverberated as if announcing her arrival to the world. This place signifies her last resort... where she might pull herself from the clashes with her enemies...With a warm smile, she walked off the carpet, making her way to the VIP area.As she settled into her seat, a low voice rang out from her earpiece. "Have you spotted him yet..."Ivy squinted, her eyes scanning the whole plaza. "Not yet. Didn't you say he has arrived?""Yes, look further; he is coming your way..." Finn's voice sounded again.Ivy crossed her legs, her gaze wandering abou

Chapter 129: Manipulation (2)

Her words were like blades cutting through the air, and instantly Jake's face darkened, his body stiff as his gaze remained fixed ahead.Ivy, upon noticing his reaction, shortened the distance between them, a self-satisfied smile playing on her lips. "It pains me that the poor child was given no justice..."Initially, Jake was avoiding her gaze, but upon hearing her, his eyes automatically snapped to her, his jaw clenching. "You are playing with fire, young woman...""But I don't feel the heat..." Ivy responded fairly quickly with a snide remark, her heart slightly thudding in her chest as she anticipated his next reaction. The more she dipped deep, the more her heart raced. Still, she wanted to see how far she could go in the conversation to make him confess, even if only a bit.Jake exhaled exasperatedly, his gaze never faltering, with anger flashing in his eyes. "You don't regret ratting me out; you think you're some kind of hero, don't you?" He took two deliberate steps forward, e
