Ivanka’s hand froze as she took the shoe box. Michael naturally looked in her direction as well, and he looked even gloomier than he did earlier.Rosie quickly said, “Silly girl, hurry up and change your shoes! Otherwise, how are you going to walk? Michael, carry Ivanka to the resting lounge so that she can change her shoes.”Michael did not respond.As he sat still, Ivanka hurriedly said, “No need. I’ll get my friends to take me there.”While she spoke, she waved at Sandy.Sandy was looking in her direction, so she quickly patted Anna when she saw the signal. The two of them got up and walked over.Ivanka finally sighed in relief.Michael took his fork and kept quiet.Rosie instantly felt disappointed as she glanced at Michael. Since things had come to this, it would be inappropriate for her to say anything else.After Sandy and Anna helped Ivanka up, they slowly walked toward the resting lounge. The moment they entered the lounge, Sandy could not hold back anymore. She was

It was only after all the guests had left that Ivanka looked at Rosie. “Grandma, I’m leaving.”Rosie was reluctant to let her go, but she nodded helplessly. “Okay, good bye.”“Okay, I’ll come over and pick you up tomorrow.” Ivanka smiled faintly when she saw the reluctance in her grandmother’s eyes.Rosie smiled and nodded. When she saw Michael standing still at the side, she really felt like kicking him!“Why don’t you send Ivanka back? Do you want a girl like her to leave alone?”Michael became aggravated. “Grandma!”Ivanka’s expression changed as well, and she quickly said, “No, Grandma. My friends are waiting for me outside. I’ll go back with them.”“Friends?” Rosie was doubtful.“Yes, they’re Sandy and Anna. Grandma, I’m leaving,” Ivanka immediately said.She did not wait for Rosie’s reply any longer. Remembering that her shoes were from Michael, she stopped walking for a while, but she quickly resumed her steps.Her previous high heels broke because of him, so it was on

Lyla took a deep breath. “Mrs. Barkworth called me just now. She said that Rosie is fine. She even mentioned that she would send someone to check on you and that she doesn’t mind it.”Chiara gritted her teeth. “So what if she doesn’t mind? Everyone thinks that I’m a hypocrite and that I faked my relationship with Ivanka. She reminded me kindly, but I was ungrateful. I even tried to outshine her. How can I clarify all of this?”The good image that she had maintained for many years had gone down the drain! She had been exposed!“Michael didn’t defend me at all today. He just looked on with a cold gaze. He doesn’t like me, so how can I shamelessly approach him again? If this happens, what will the people in our circle say about me next?”Lyla immediately spoke in a deep voice, “The Lane family has a high status, and nobody really dares to insult you. Chiara, no matter what happens to your image, you have to try and marry Michael. We’re business people, and we gather for profit. Regard

Jonah glanced at him before he led him to an empty private room. Only then did his assistant talk about the incident at Rosie’s birthday party in detail.Jonah narrowed his eyes slightly and did not speak immediately after.His assistant explained things in a comprehensive manner because he was afraid of missing certain points. Besides, he dared not analyze the situation on his own, so he just told Jonah the truth.Jonah chuckled. “Michael doesn’t think that he can still get her back, does he?”His assistant was a little surprised. “Michael wants to get Ms. Lane back? How can that be? He’s been very indifferent, if not hateful, toward her.”Jonah sniggered. “With the way he is, who else can trouble him? Even if Rosie forced him into it, he could have carried Ivanka in through the backdoor. Why did he allow so many people to watch them?”After interacting with Ivanka for some time, he was sure that Ivanka had let him go completely.She would not have allowed Michael to carry her

“I’ll be off now.”That was all Anna said. She had thousands of things to tell the man, but she could not say them out loud.Hanson smiled and nodded. “Let me send you to your door.”“No need. We’re already at the yard. Why do you have to send me? It’s really late. You should go back early and rest.”Hanson did not insist either and just nodded. He only asked his driver to drive away after he made sure that Anna had entered her home.Meanwhile, Anna felt slightly heartbroken as she saw the car’s headlights slowly fade away through her window.He was such a warm person. How great would it be if he was willing to give her a chance? She was willing to be with him forever.Not only did Ivanka not like him, but she had also suffered emotional turmoil. She did not want to be in a relationship anymore. Would Hanson want to guard her his entire life?Anna’s tears seemed to flow even more.When Anna’s mother, Leah, came downstairs, she saw her daughter standing at the entrance of the l
