Slam!Ivanka tried to compose herself after entering the room. Suddenly, they heard the sound of the door being thrown open, and they turned in the direction of the door simultaneouslyThe man was tall and slender. He wore an haute couture formal suit that did nothing to hide his in-born air of regality. He looked really cool.However, he was currently giving off a bone-chilling aura. His gaze was so razor-sharp that no one dared to meet his gaze.Ivanka frowned. What was he doing here?When Michael saw the large bouquet of roses next to Ivanka, he felt that it was an eyesore.He snorted, “I can’t believe you found a lover so soon.”Hanson’s gentle gaze turned cold. Before he said anything, Ivanka yelled at him, “Michael, watch your words!”Michael stared at her gloomily. “Ivanka, we’re not officially divorced, yet you can no longer hide your true colors. Am I dead to you?!”Ivanka scoffed. Sandy glared at him and hissed, “Michael, what are you doing? Iv gave up everything to
Michael was taken aback. Ivanka looked at him with an upset expression and said, “I’ve been waiting for you to call me so that we can go to the City Hall. Are you seriously telling me that you don’t even have the time for that, Mr. Barkworth? If you would just spend a little less time with her, I’m sure we could’ve gotten a divorce already. You wouldn’t have to worry about your company’s reputation and interests every day.”“You b*stard…”Michael gritted his teeth and said, “Ivanka! Do you really think I don’t want to get a divorce? Grandma was the one who was begging me not to!”Ivanka was puzzled as she thought. “I remember Grandma called me and said that she wanted to find a better man for me. Is this some kind of reverse psychological tactic she’s using?”“My company is still working on a project, and it’s competing with Sadler’s Group. After this project is over, I’ll split up with you. I want you to behave just for this month!”Any negative news would be detrimental to Mic
Rosie was still deciding who would be a good fit for Ivanka. She took out her phone and looked through young men from rich families.To her surprise, a piece of news suddenly popped up on her screen. [The person sitting next to Mr. Sadler is Mrs. Barkworth, Sadler’s Group’s competitor!]Rosie was stunned. “Jonah Sadler?!“I barely watch the news, and even I know that he’s a womanizer. He has multiple girlfriends. How is he the one for Iv?!“I’m sure this is just clickbait!”As she told herself this, she clicked into the article. As it turned out, the woman sitting next to Jonah in the car was indeed Ivanka! Their faces were as clear as day.“That’s… That’s impossible!”She immediately dialed Ivanka’s number.But… “Sorry, please hold on. The person you are calling is on another line…”Rosie hung up the phone worriedly. At the moment, Ivanka was talking to Sandy on the phone. Sandy’s excited voice made her frown slightly. “Why are you wailing like a ghost in the midd
“Okay, then.”Rosie did not mean what she said. She was determined to find the best man that suited Ivanka and make him her grandson-in-law.After they chatted for a while, the two finally hung up. Ivanka had already tapped into Twitter and scrolled through it with familiar ease. “Trending, huh?“I may not be a celebrity, but my username online is often seen among the trending posts.“Aside from my username online, my real name is also always trending along with Michael’s name.“We are portrayed as a loving couple to the public for the benefit of the company, and we frequently show up on some occasions to keep up with the facade. I used to willingly cooperate with him because I loved him. I would always look forward to appearing in public because it was the only time I felt like I’m married to a good husband…“But now… “Tsk.“With Jonah and myself trending like wildfire, Barkworth’s Group must be in a frenzy, since everyone knows that Michael and Jonah are deadly foes.”T
However, the neighbor quickly took note of Michael’s hostile demeanor, so he shrank back and quietly closed the door.Ivanka was at a loss for words.The violent knocks on the door were deafening. Ivanka was afraid of offending other people, but neither could she stop Michael, so she had no choice but to open the door.Michael walked in with a gloomy expression.Ivanka closed the door and glared at him. “Mr. Barkworth, your actions make me think you are finding it difficult to forget about me!”‘Even if something has popped up, can’t we resolve it during the day?’She thought Michael had found out about what happened on the Internet when he was somewhere else just now, so he was calling to question her. However, if she had taken the timing of events into consideration, she would have known that he was already near her home when he called her.Michael glared at her and scoffed. “Do you actually believe that I can’t forget you? Ivanka, I only have sound reason to suspect that you
She decisively opened the door.A slender figure appeared before Ivanka’s view.Michael also stood up and walked over.The corners of Ivanka’s mouth curled up. She turned and looked at Michael. “It’s not my so-called paramour. It’s your lover. Are you embarrassed?”Chiara slightly narrowed her eyes. ‘Lover? If I want, I can change Ivanka’s status from a legal wife to a lover by lifting a finger.’Michael’s expression turned gloomier. He looked at Chiara unhappily. “Why are you here?”Chiara hurriedly spoke up, sounding worried. “I wanted to discuss something with you, so I tried to reach you through your friend. However, I heard you were in a bad mood today, so I was worried and asked about it. After knowing you were here, I hurried over here as I was afraid there might be some misunderstandings between you two. Iv, Mic, you two should hear each other out to solve the problem. Don’t let this misunderstanding escalate.”Ivanka smiled. “It doesn’t matter. He’ll marry you soon, and
He snatched Ivanka’s phone and hung up.Ivanka looked with a perplexed expression. “What’re you doing?”Michael stared at Ivanka. It was as if his sharp gaze would skewer her if she dared to do anything.“Ivanka, this is my last warning. If you dare to seduce other men, don’t blame me for not sparing you!”Chiara looked stiff. ‘Seduce other men?’She had always thought that Michael meddled with Ivanka’s affairs because of his pride as a man. No man could stand to watch his newly divorced wife fool around with another man.But…A bad premonition popped up in her mind.Ivanka seemed as nonchalant as ever. “I don’t need your sparing. Goodbye.”Chiara grabbed Michael’s arm worriedly. “Mic, Iv is still young and immature. Don’t take her words seriously.”Michael pursed his thin lips. He shot Ivanka a cold glance and left.Only Ivanka and Chiara were left in the house. Chiara looked at Ivanka with mockery.Ivanka sneered. “What’re you still doing here? Waiting for me to kick you
“You’ll find out when the time comes.”“What? F*ck you! Are you still my best friend?”“Yes, and I’ll cook for you tonight.”“Really?!”Sandy was a major foodie, and Ivanka had cooking skills that were even better than chefs. She was easily enticed by Ivanka’s words.“I meant it, of course.”“I want braised pork, meatball, tomato fish stew…”Sandy did not hold back and listed eight dishes in one breath.The corners of Ivanka’s mouth twitched. “Can you finish them?”“Of course I can! I’m a big eater!”“Okay, I’ll do as you said.”The two talked and laughed on the way home. While they were washing the vegetables, they heard the doorbell ring.Sandy was puzzled. She asked, “Who could it be? Did you give anyone this address?”Ivanka frowned a little. Besides Michael and Chiara, only Sandy would know about this.Jonah knew her whereabouts, but he did not know her specific house number.There was no way that Michael and Chiara would pay her a visit at this time.She put down
