But he did not hesitate at all. He only smiled and said, “There’s no need. I’ll be yours sooner or later. Putting aside whether or not I trust you, even if I don’t, what’s mine will eventually be yours too.” Ivanka was speechless. She took a copy of the contract and said calmly, “You’ll still need to pay attention to it next time. Otherwise, I think you’ll end up having me steal a huge chunk of your money in the future.” After she said that, Ivanka stood up. She did not intend to stay either. They had finished eating and finalized the contract, so there was nothing left for them to say. Even so, as she stepped out, Jonah suddenly raised his hand and grabbed her wrist. Ivanka wanted to pull her hand back, but Jonah gripped her tightly. She turned to look at him. Her gaze was unhappy. “Please let go.” “What if I can’t let you go?” Jonah suddenly stood up when he said this. Ivanka had been looking down on this man, but once he stood up, he suddenly towered over her

Samuel instantly frowned. “Why are you mentioning her out of the blue? She doesn’t even intend to show mercy to her own eldest uncle. What else is there to say?” “That’s bull! How did her uncle’s family treat her? They killed her father. Isn’t Iv allowed to take revenge? My heart aches for that child now!” Michael frowned silently. “Alright. This has already passed. What else is there to say? No matter what, Michael has already divorced Ivanka.” Samuel really did find Ivanka an eyesore. He had all sorts of issues with her too. Rosie scoffed immediately. “There’s no way she would even fancy you now. Go check what’s trending on Twitter!” Michael’s expression suddenly turned colder. He did not say anything but had already taken out his phone. Samuel looked extremely puzzled. He looked at Rosie and could not help but ask, “What do you mean?” Rosie took out her phone and pulled up Twitter. “See for yourself. See how glamorously your unwanted granddaughter-in-law is living

Given that his wife was already furious, he did not dare say another word.Speaking up at the moment would only make things worse.Rosie’s anger subsided slightly with Samuel’s sudden silence, but she still could not help but express her frustration. “Samuel, stop denying it. We all know exactly what’s going on!”Samuel was about to retort, but he fell silent again when he saw Rosie’s slightly reddened eyes.Jay chuckled. “Dad, you really are stubborn. Only Mom can take you down a peg or two.”“I’m just letting your mom have her way,” Samuel grumbled. He still felt defiant.Michael had been sitting on the sofa in silence. His gaze fixated on his phone. His face revealed the mixed emotions he felt. The comments he was reading only added to his contemplation.Sarah: Oh my God! Iv is collaborating with Papaver! That’s amazing! What kind of magic did she use to pull this off?Tom: You’re overthinking this, okay? Didn’t you see Sadler’s Group mentioned too? Are you blind? Obviously,

“I only supported it back then because the Lane family had a good standing! But later on, Ivanka failed to prove herself. The company wasn’t even hers anymore. Why should I let her be the Barkworth family’s granddaughter-in-law if she doesn’t have outstanding abilities?” Samuel continued to speak self-righteously.Rosie was furious. She raised a finger to point at Samuel, but before she could say anything, Michael suddenly spoke in a deep voice, “Enough.”Rosie looked at him, displeased.Michael directed his gaze at Samuel. “Don’t bring up Ivanka again. She never owed us anything.”Samuel was taken aback and instinctively responded. “What do you mean by that? Are you no longer angry with her?”Rosie was a bit surprised, but remembering what Michael had said to her before, she felt a slight sense of relief. It seemed that he really had feelings for Ivanka. Otherwise, he would not have said that.Michael then spoke in a firm voice. “I owe her a lot.”“What nonsense are you talking

The judge paused for a moment.Everyone stared intently at the judge. They were eager to hear what he would say next.Lyla was now the defendant. She was sitting in the defendant’s seat.Theodore and Chiara were also present. They were seated close to Sandy and Suki.Their expressions were grim, especially Chiara, whose eyes were filled with worry.She thought. “What are we going to do?”Chiara had not been able to stay by her mother’s side these past few days. It made her feel incredibly anxious.Not being able to see her mother was causing her indescribable pain.Seeing her today only intensified that pain.In just a few days, her mother had become gaunt. Chiara had tried everything to visit her mother but had failed each time. She felt utterly helpless!Yet her father had no solutions either.Chiara watched her mother sitting in the defendant’s seat. It broke her heart. She turned to her father. “What do you think the verdict will be today?” She had been worried for day
