The ladies said nothing else and silently agreed to Ivan’s decision. Ivan started the car engine once again. Ivanka was characteristically calm. Although she did not discover anything about that person, she remained composed. Even though Ivanka had not been able to locate her target from the given clues, she believed as long as she followed Chiara’s trail and as long as she herself remained alive, that person would be unable to hold back herself for long and would come to Ivanka soon. After all, Ivanka’s presence must have affected the culprit behind the curtains. The culprit was going all out to get rid of her. The ladies said nothing else. Ivan sent them back to their home or office. The last stop was Sandy’s. Sandy felt inexplicably irritated the moment she saw Ivan. She said, “You don’t need to send me back, I’ll call a cab on my own.” After all the time spent with Ivan, Sandy thought he always mistreated her or found ways to set her up. Ivan’s expression grew dar
“No. I’m not stopping the car. Unless you turn my steering wheel.” Ivan was not angry with Sandy anymore. Instead, he was happy that he could maneuver her. “You…” Sandy sucked in a deep breath to hold back her anger. Then, she said coolly, “With this poor attitude of yours, I won’t thank you even after you send me back!” Ivan sneered. “I didn’t expect you to thank me. Do you even have a heart of gratitude?” After saying the sentence, Ivan seemed to become angry again. Sandy was furious and instantly refuted him. “I never show my gratitude to an ungrateful ingrate!” Ivan said through his gnashed teeth, “Damn you, woman! It’s no wonder you remain single to this day!” At this, he stepped on the gas pedal even harder, and the car accelerated. Sandy was worried and immediately held her seatbelt tightly. “We’re in a hustling and bustling area, don’t overspeed!” “Don’t worry. Overspeeding won’t get you killed. I don’t want to be sent to jail either.” Ivan lost interest in
“I purposely mentioned all this to make you anxious. You act as if you don’t care about Ivanka, but when she’s in apparent danger, you would rather give up your work and even stop driving me out of your office. Michael, please be true to yourself.” Ivan had no intention of keeping Michael in suspense. He only wanted Michael to face the truth that he liked Ivanka. Ivanka grew increasingly outstanding. Many men were attracted to her and eager to get into a relationship with her. Jonah was one of them. There could be many more young and talented men who were interested in Ivanka in the future. If Michael failed to cherish her or still tried to annoy her, it would only be more difficult for him to win her heart back. Michael frowned deeply and stared at Ivan coldly. “What exactly do you want?” “I’m trying to save your relationship with Ivanka.” Ivan felt speechless. His expression darkened as he said, “I’m worried that you won’t have a chance again. You clearly like her, but you
Michael frowned again. He said nothing, but his gaze was icy cold. Any child with a heart of flesh would certainly find ways to avenge their father’s death after knowing that their father was killed unless they could not do so. Ivanka was far more capable than Theodore and had equally great influence. It was only natural for her to attack Theodore. Michael sat in stunned silence. Ivan said, “After we left, Ivanka began to monitor Chiara and listen to their conversations. Still, she couldn’t find out the culprit’s exact location. That culprit is quite powerful. Are you sure you don’t want to protect your future wife?” Ivan used a different tone when he said the last sentence. Michael glanced at him coolly, “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.” “F*ck! I told you everything and you asked me not to say anything at all?! God must have made me blind to treat you as my brother!” Michael ignored him. He began to consider things to protect Ivanka. He paused
Chiara sucked in a deep breath and said, “Yes. I’ve thought it over. I admit that we’re the ones who did it.” She was cautious enough not to mention the words “… killed Fernando.” Even if that person recorded their conversation, she could not use it against Chiara. But, Chiara did not expect that person to ask, “I want the details. How did you kill Fernando? Tell me the details.” Chiara’s expression instantly changed. “Why must you know about that?” That person snorted glumly, “How can I save you without you telling me the details?” Chiara panicked. “I just need to pass you the evidence she presented to the court. I—” “Do you know the exact evidence that she presented to the court? As far as I’m concerned, she presented some documents. Do you really think that she only presented things that were mentioned during the court without including other crucial evidence? Why does she have to beat around the bush when she can hit you with a single blow?” Chiara’s expression turned
Chiara’s eyes lit up. “Do you mean…” “If you lose the case, I can give you a new identity.” Chiara looked disappointed. How could this be?! She wanted to be who she was. She wanted to carry on with her identity as the eldest lady of the Lane’s family. She held her phone tightly and said anxiously, “I—” Before she finished her sentence, that person said glumly, “Wait for my news.” After that, that person hung up. Chiara smashed her phone furiously. “Ahh! B*tch!” She called Ivanka a b*tch, and she also called the mysterious person b*tch too. Lyla was in a bad mood after quarreling with Chiara. Lyla noticed something was off about Chiara and immediately rushed over to her. She did not expect to see her daughter in her current state when she opened the door. Lyla’s expression instantly changed. She went to Chiara and held her shoulders. “Did you call that person again? Did you tell her everything?” Chiara snapped out of her daze. The next moment, she shook Lyla off and
She finally learned what happened to her father. At that moment, she could only take her revenge one at a time. She could not take all three of that family down at the same time. However, with this incident, she could definitely kick Theodore out of this company. “It’s your call. I’ve already taken care of things at my side and can take over anytime. But what are you going to do after you’ve taken care of Theodore’s family?”Ivanka’s gaze sharpened. She did not give an immediate response. She knew what Jonah meant. Theodore’s family of three could not possibly be eliminated at the same time. They would surely come back with new tricks.“We’ll solve the problems as they come.” In the end, Ivanka just said this and did not want to elaborate.However, in the next moment, her doorbell rang.Ivanka was a bit puzzled. “I have guests, it seems. Let’s talk later.”Jonah chuckled. “Okay.”His response was so casual that she could feel how relaxed he was. Ivanka thought for a split
Ivanka immediately looked up at him. But in the next moment, she noticed something was up. Jonah had made such a fuss. The few times he pursued her, they all ended up trending on Twitter, so how could his family not know? Jonah sighed. “If I brought you back to my home and you still think I’m using you, then I might actually be going about it the wrong way.” Ivanka frowned as she stared at the defeated-looking Jonah. She was a bit surprised. Jonah was never like this. He was always well-composed and calm. His cheerful eyes were tender and loving. So, many women could not stop themselves from falling in love with him. But it was also because he was this way that brought rise to a strange sense of aversion toward him in her heart. What was more, she had been hurt by love before. She probably did not want to be in any sort of relationship again for the rest of her life. However, she had repeated this to Jonah so many times. Even if he was not tired of hearing this, she was
