"Sigh, come on, you two," the mediator interjected to prevent things from escalating further. "It's just a minor issue, not worth arguing over. I'm fine, so..."It seemed neither of the two men were paying attention to Jacob's advice, their tension palpable as they glared at each other."Hey, are you guys even listening to me?" Jacob sighed in frustration and disappointment at being ignored."I just can't understand why you trust her like that, Mason," Ryan pressed on, his frustration evident."My gut tells me Ivy didn't have any ill intentions in that situation," Mason admitted."But you know she's capable of deceiving everyone," he insisted firmly. "Acting is her nature. I can't stand her arrogant attitude, thinking she's better than everyone else and doesn't see anyone as anything.""Why don't you just fire her then?" Mason asked, exasperated by Ryan's stubbornness, which sometimes irks others."I was just about to do that," Ryan exclaimed, extremely frustrated. “But you jumped in
The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 21: Ryan reconfirmed Ivy's pregnancy
When alone in the room, Ryan dared to show concern over the news that Ivy might be pregnant.He was sure that it wasn't his child but someone else's. Ryan was certain of this because he had been using contraception before meeting Ivy and up until now. Therefore, the likelihood of Ryan impregnating someone was very low.So, what was Ivy's purpose in revealing her pregnancy? Was she planning to toy with Ryan to frighten him? Or Ivy would carry out the plan just as Ryan had anticipated, and he only needed to close his eyes to envision every detail clearly.If that were the case, how should Ryan deal with it? Still unsure of what to decide, he first had to find out the truth and determine Ivy's intentions.After much thought, Ryan finally took action. He immediately called Ivy into the room to talk. As usual, Ivy didn't bother knocking. Without announcing anything, she just calmly rushed into the room."What do you want to say?" Upon entering, Ivy immediately spoke up, refusing to allow h
The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 22: That's none of your business.
Unfortunately, Ivy never granted Ryan's small wish. Ivy asked a clever question while teasing Ryan at the same time."How can you be sure that the child in my womb is not yours? We spent a night together in a hotel, remember? And I dare to guarantee that you are the second man in my life."After Ivy finished speaking, she winked mischievously at Ryan. Truth be told, Ryan was quite surprised by Ivy's seemingly truthful revelation, and there was something new stirring in his heart. Ryan wasn't sure or couldn't pinpoint exactly what that novelty was. He only knew that he didn't dislike it, nor was he particularly infatuated with it. However, to maintain his image of authority and coldness, he firmly refused to let emotions overpower his rationality and composure. In a calm tone, Ryan reaffirmed once again."Even if we did spend a night together, that doesn't guarantee the child in your womb is mine." Remembering the memories of that night, Ryan suddenly felt his heart flutter."Why?" Ivy
The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 23: Luke Evans
At 10:30 at the Aberdeen Technology, Construction, and Real Estate Group, Luke Evans, the interim CEO of the conglomerate, is grappling with a looming issue. The company is gearing up for a very special event, commemorating its 38th anniversary. What's noteworthy here is not that he's obliged to attend the event, but rather the arranged marriage orchestrated by both families, to be officially announced during the ceremony. A marriage of convenience, like buying and selling. Even though the families have a longstanding relationship, Luke himself is acquainted with the chosen girl, his future wife. However, Luke harbors no romantic feelings towards her whatsoever; their relationship is purely social, lacking any depth. Yet she has feelings for him, complicating matters for Luke. Nevertheless, Luke is fully aware of the situation and absolutely detests this arrangement. Therefore, he is struggling to find a way to break free from the suffocating cage that he's about to be locked into.Lu
The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 24: Fateful call
Ivy thought everything was over, but no sooner had she set her phone down on the table than another call came in from the same familiar number. Ivy wanted to ignore it, but she felt restless and uncomfortable inside. She felt that deliberately ignoring the caller would be rude and wrong. On the other hand, not wanting to be bothered further, Ivy reluctantly answered the call again, intending to put an end to this."What now? I've already made myself clear to you. I can't," Ivy deliberately sounded irritated when she answered the phone the second time, hoping that Mary would give up her persuasion attempt."Why not? Give me one convincing reason." Contrary to Ivy's wishes, Mary remained calm and determined, wanting to understand why Ivy was refusing."I don't have the time," Ivy said without thinking, partly true, partly false. "I'm currently working as a secretary for a big company. So, I'm really busy with work lately."Ivy hoped that Mary would let her off, but once again, Mary didn
The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 25: Evans family party
In the face of Ivy's indifferent attitude, Ryan didn't react much upon hearing the news. He simply pretended to ignore her, swiftly heading straight to his room, leaving Mason standing there with Ivy. Upon seeing Ryan leave, Mason exchanged a few words with Ivy before he followed Ryan.Mason spoke up after carefully closing the door to the room."So Ivy is about to leave here soon." Mason was probing Ryan's attitude and thoughts regarding Ivy's departure. "It's indeed quite a surprising piece of news. I didn't expect this to happen so quickly. I've only known Ivy for a short time. I haven't even had the chance to woo her yet," Mason sighed, feigning disappointment."So what?" As predicted by Mason, Ryan responded with annoyance. "That's normal; there's no need to overreact like that. Take a look at yourself. You look disgusting." "I look that bad." "Yeah," Ryan confirmed."What about you then?" Mason asked straightforwardly. "How do you feel about Ivy leaving?""I'm fine," Ryan repl
The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 26: Ivy's appearance at the party was a big surprise
Ryan didn't notice his friend's surreptitious glances at the other family's daughter because he was too engrossed in watching the upper-class crowd indulging themselves in diamonds, dazzling outfits, and the scent of high-end perfume from famous brands. Among them were a few acquaintances, but mostly strangers."They're all smiles and chatter on the outside, but inside, everyone is trying to conceal their true nature," Ryan remarked with a fleeting smile, his bright black eyes continuously observing. Then, he replied nonchalantly, "I have to admit, I'm not exactly thrilled to be here either.""Well, we'll just have to endure it together," the lawyer patted his shoulder, taking two champagne glasses from the tray as the server passed by and handing one to Ryan.Ryan calmly accepted the glass and continued to scan the surroundings. Currently, both of them were standing near the corner of the wall, in a position perfectly suited to oversee the spacious room filled with numerous guests. O
The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 27: The drama begins with an unexpected accident
Everyone was surprised, mixed with confusion and curiosity, especially Ryan. Inadvertently, Ryan and Mason exchanged glances, conveying their mutual bewilderment to each other. No one could have guessed that Ivy knew Luke, the youngest son of the Evans family.As for Ivy, she followed the reaction and turned her gaze towards the person who called her name. A moment of silence ensued as Ivy's eyes met Luke's, and it seemed like the whole world stopped spinning at that moment.Wow! Ivy silently praised and admired. Luke's handsome appearance truly captured everyone's attention, not just Ivy's. After a moment of stillness, Ivy realized that he was her client; they had exchanged photos to recognize each other. With Luke's sudden appearance and intervention, Ivy momentarily forgot about her awkward situation and hastily lifted her slightly damp posterior off the floor."Luke!" she exclaimed, sheepishly smiling. She appeared embarrassed by her own clumsiness, not due to any lack of professi
