Chiara became a little anxious. She hurriedly grabbed Catherine’s arm and looked at Ivanka. “Iv, Catherine is a good person, so please don’t misunderstand her. Catherine, don’t think of Iv badly.”Michael sneered and looked at Ivanka coldly. “You can talk to me if you’re dissatisfied.”Catherine perked up smugly.Ivanka turned and met Michael’s sharp gaze. Then, she smiled. “Mr. Barkworth, at the banquet, I asked you for a divorce in front of everyone. It proves that I care nothing about you, so why should I be jealous of you two?”Michael’s expression darkened.He would never forget the insult at the banquet.“Ivanka, you’ve gotten so bold,” Michael gnashed his teeth and said.Ivanka sneered. “It’s all thanks to you, Mr. Barkworth. Don’t blame me for not warning you ahead of time. In the future, I hope we can never talk for the rest of our lives if we meet. Otherwise, I won’t be merciful if someone offends me.”Her words were meant for Chiara, but she was looking at Michael to
He said it so casually, but his words carried endless killing intent!At that moment, Catherine, who had been making a fuss just now, suddenly panicked and turned pale. She subconsciously looked at Ivanka but found that Ivanka was not even looking at her.Michael looked at Jonah coldly. “How impressive, Mr. Sadler.”Jonah raised his eyebrows. “It’s normal to protect the woman you love. Mr. Barkworth, you’re in love with Iv’s cousin, so I believe you can understand my feelings.”A hint of curiosity flashed in Chiara’s eyes. She subconsciously glanced at Michael but saw him being sullen and silent.Ivanka did not want to look at the people in front of her anymore, so she said politely to the waiter, “Please show us the way.”The waiter returned to his senses and hurriedly replied, “Oh, okay.”Jonah smiled and said to everyone politely, “Please excuse us.”After he finished speaking, he followed Ivanka and walked toward the private room.Chiara was anxious when she saw Michael st
Jonah handed a file to Ivanka. “This is the information of the company in this case. The information I gave you last time was incomplete, so I asked someone to reorganize it.”Ivanka took it and looked through the information for a while. She found it was a little different from the previous one, but it would not affect her work. If anything, two points that were beneficial to her had popped up.She nodded. “This is useful.”Jonah raised his eyebrows. When he saw her eyes flickering, he chuckled and said, “I’ll leave it to you, Iv.”He used to call her Iris, but not anymore.Although Ivanka did not like him calling her by her nickname, she could not tell him not to do so.She raised her head and looked at him. “Have you contacted that person? When will the court take place?”Jonah did not hesitate and said, “In five days.”He narrowed his eyes. “Michael is a strong opponent.”Ivanka raised her eyebrows and looked at him. “What makes you say so?”After spending some time with
Suki gritted her teeth. “It was a pity to lose your first time in such a way.”Ivanka’s eyes twitched. Her first time…It was precisely why Michael hated her.A person once drugged her and sent her to a room. During that time, she was delirious and spent the night dazed. A man was lying next to her when she woke up, and her body was sore.During that moment, she was flustered. However, she brightened up when she realized that it was Michael.She thought. “Luckily, it’s him.”But after Michael woke up, he was disgusted with her and even made sarcastic remarks.“Ivanka, do you think I’ll marry you because of this? Your father has been trying to get me to marry you, and now you tricked me into sleeping with you. Both of you are despicable!”Back then, she had panicked and explained that she had also been tricked, but Michael did not believe a word. He put on his clothes and left directly.That day, she sat on the bed and kept crying. She was too ashamed to meet anyone.But not l
Sandy was taken aback.She thought. “The lawsuit Ivan is handling?”Everyone knew of Ivan’s ability. Many people wanted him to help them with the lawsuits, but he would only accept the job depending on his mood.He might not handle a lawsuit for a long time. However, if he decided to accept a case, the lawyer of the other party would immediately give up to avoid facing Ivan.He was the legend who won every case in the rumors.Sandy was also a lawyer. However, she graduated recently, and her career had not been smooth in the past few years, so she was just an insignificant lawyer. She had no chance to watch any important cases.She grew a little interested after hearing Ivan’s words.But the next moment, her eyes flickered, and she snorted coldly. “Ivan, you don’t have to trick me! I know you’re talented, and no one is comparable to you. However, I’m not that ambitious and won’t fawn over you. Goodbye!”Ivan was extremely helpless. When he saw that Sandy was about to leave, he q
Sandy snorted. “Don’t get ahead of yourself. It’s likely to be Iris. Jonah knows very well that you’re Michael’s best friend. He would almost certainly find someone more capable than you to beat you. If he hires someone else, all his hard work will be in vain.”Ivan snorted coldly. “Even if it’s Iris, I’m confident of my chances. Besides, she has disappeared for several years, so it’s uncertain who’s better. Her reputation affects me since everyone keeps saying I’m the next Iris. I’ll never change my name. I’m Ivan York, not the next Iris!”“Do you hate being called the next Iris? When Iris was famous back then, you were not as successful as you are now. Now that you’re successful, you no longer take her seriously.”Sandy’s voice was full of disdain. Then, she said in mockery, “If you continue to be so arrogant, you’ll eventually lose to Iris. I’m going to wait for that day to happen.”“F*ck!” Ivan looked at her angrily. “You’re inhumane! Even though we’re fighting over the same it
Ivan immediately turned and saw Ivanka. He frowned slightly. He thought. “This woman used to care about Michael. She was a qualified Mrs. Barkworth.“But now, they have a tense relationship, and she’s even getting together with Jonah. This is unexpected.”Ivan did not plan to get out of the car. He simply glanced at Ivanka. After Sandy closed the door, he drove away.Sandy looked at Ivanka excitedly. “Iv, look. I bought a lot of things. Can you cook for me?”The corners of Ivanka’s mouth twitched. “Aren’t you afraid of getting fat if you eat so much?”“I’m proud of being fat! That’s the prize of eating good food. Those who want to gain weight can’t even get this prize.”Ivanka speechlessly went upstairs with her.Sandy ate many plates of delicious food. She was satisfied. However, she did not plan to spend the night here today. She was worried that Ivan was planning something, so she had to go home quickly for fear of Ivan going to her house to steal that item.The following tw
After saying that, Mindy could not help but sneer again. “They might get married before Michael.”Bang!Michael suddenly put the cutlery on the table with a gloomy expression.The others looked at him in puzzlement.Mindy returned to her senses and hurriedly said, “Son, it’s not worth being angry with her. Now that you have Chiara, you must be responsible for her. Chiara is a good girl. She is smart, thoughtful, and dignified. She is suitable to be the head lady of the Barkworth family.”Samuel nodded in agreement. “That’s right. We need to continue cooperating with the Lane family in business at a later stage, and it’s good for you to marry Chiara.”Michael frowned. “The situation is tense now, and I have a lawsuit in two days. Let’s talk about it later.”Rosie could not help but sigh. While she felt pity for their divorce, the three were determined to see this through, so there was no point in stopping them.If she forcibly stopped them from divorcing, they would worry about
