Ivanka was not the only one feeling upset; Suki and Sandy were also furious!Sandy, especially, could not hold back her anger and exclaimed, “Nonsense! That’s absolute cr*p! Did Lyla even consider her conscience before saying that?! They’ve been targeting Iv and her position for years! The recording is biased! Using that as evidence is ridiculous!”Suki quickly grabbed Sandy’s hand as Sandy grew louder and said, “Calm down.”Sandy realized her outburst, took a deep breath, and tried to control her emotions. However, on the inside, she could not help but curse at them!D*mn Theodore! D*mn Lyla! D*mn Chiara!The recording ended there.Lyla looked sorrowful as she said, “I never expected things to come to this. I understand if Ivanka misunderstood me. But I’m speaking the truth. I admit, I’m the one who killed Fernando. I know I’ve wronged him and Ivanka. I’m willing to accept legal consequences.”Her expression turned sadder as she continued, “I know I deserve to die. But I have

Theodore took a deep breath to stay composed. He then said, “No objections, Your Honor.”The judge nodded and said indifferently, “Court is adjourned.”He stood up and left. Everyone else began to disperse as well.Since Lyla had become a suspect, she was to be detained.Two court security officers approached her to put handcuffs on her.Tears streamed down Chiara’s eyes. “Mom...”Before the security officers got hold of Lyla, she swiftly grabbed Chiara’s hand and said in a serious tone, “Chiara, don’t worry. It’s not like I got a death sentence. I’ll be fine. It’s just that I won’t be able to be by your side for a while. You’re not in the right state of mind and emotionally stable right now. You must talk to your father before contacting that person, okay? If things don’t work out, come find me. We’ll discuss it together. You must not act rashly.”Chiara nodded with teary eyes. She could not bear seeing Lyla being taken away. No one knew what the final verdict would be. Even

Sandy sounded extremely furious. Nonetheless, she could not make Lyla pay for the consequences. After seething silently for a moment, she said, “Clearly, the three of them are involved in it. But Theodore and Chiara could get away with it. Even Lyla is getting herself out without being punished!” Anna hissed, “I also didn’t expect things to turn out like this. Iv, what do you plan to do?”They had talked incessantly without giving Ivanka a chance to speak. Right after Anna asked the question, they turned to Ivanka, who was driving the car. Ivanka curled her lip. “It’s okay. I’m quite satisfied with how things turned out. After all, I don’t want Lyla to die instantly. If she dies, it’s not as satisfying as it would be.” Sandy felt puzzled. Anna realized something and asked, “Are you saying you expected this? Do you still have other ways?” Ivanka made a sound of acknowledgment. “Yes.” Hanson was puzzled. “Do you have any other plans?” Ivanka smirked. “Yes. I recently gain

“The company is in decline. My father and everyone here had put in much effort to set up the company. I believe everyone is sad to see the company fall into this state. “What we need to do now is to work together to push the company to a higher level. I’ve got many proposals in my mind. Once these proposals take shape, the profit earned will be as great as Barkworth’s Group. I’m willing to share my ideas with you and distribute the profit to you based on the percentage of your shares. I hope all of us can work hand in hand. I don’t want to bring disgrace to the company, nor do I want my father to see the company in this declining state.” Right after she spoke, everyone instantly became spirited. They stopped having a bad impression of her. They were excited after they were told that she had many proposals that were similar to Barkworth’s Group’s projects and could even receive a portion of the huge profits from the projects! Ivanka was the chairman of the company. She natural

“Dad, let’s play outside! The balloon can’t go higher inside the house.” “Isn’t the ceiling for a double-storey mansion high enough? If you want to throw the balloon higher, it will reach the sky. By then, you can’t catch it anymore,” said Theodore in resignation but with a doting smile. The mansion was the only property left for Theodore. However, the ownership belonged to his mistress. At that moment, he felt relieved that he had bought his mistress the mansion. If not, Ivanka would have taken away the mansion too. Melody Hawkins looked at Theodore. When she noticed his sad expression, she patted Junie’s cheek. “Alright. Dad already spent a long time playing with you. You need to get back to your room and take your shower. You can chat with him again later.” Junie was reluctant. She pouted unhappily and said, “Dad has only been here a while. I want to play with him a while longer.” Theodore’s heart naturally ached for Junie. He carried her into his arms. “Okay. I’ll play
