Pfft! The blade drew blood! Michael’s pupils constricted violently! His expression changed drastically! Evan also panicked. Ivanka stifled a grunt and slapped the man away. She endured the pain and exerted her strength. Instantly, she removed herself from the man’s dagger! Just now, she had sensed the danger and dodged from letting it hit her vitals. The man’s dagger pierced the edge of her body. It was next to her heart and missed her bones. But… It was still a deep wound, and blood was already flowing out! “Damn it!” Michael’s voice was full of fury. When he saw the man’s dagger all stained with Ivanka’s blood, Michael sent him flying with a kick! He immediately came to Ivanka’s side with a rare gentleness. “Hold on!” Ivanka sucked in a slight breath and said in a low voice. “It did not hit my vitals. It’s fine.” Any other girl might have cried out uncontrollably or even fainted. But not Ivanka. Not only did she keep her voice as usual, but she was also able to

Ivanka was stunned and slightly flattered. There were even a few moments of discomfort in his eyes.Was this Michael? After a pause, she said softly, “Anything is fine.” Michael frowned. When he saw her being so strong and not the slightest sense of dependence on people around her, he surprisingly felt a little annoyed. Without speaking, he stepped outside and closed the door to her room behind him. Evan was in the living room. He did not leave. He was still waiting for Michael’s orders. Michael walked to the sofa and suddenly took out a cigarette. Evan looked a little stunned. Michael seldom smoked. He saw that he had already taken out his lighter but as he was about to light his cigarette, his movements suddenly stopped and he swiftly took it away. Evan’s eyes paused slightly. He was afraid that the smoke would enter Ivanka’s room and harm her. Evan lowered his gaze slightly and did not speak. Michael, on the other hand, said softly, “Go prepare something nutr

Ivan snorted coldly. “Yeah, right, sure. Why were you so worried if you weren’t interested? Why would you send Sandy over to care for her if you weren’t interested? Put up a real act and let me see that you aren’t interested, then. You’re still so stubborn even, yet you are still caring for her from behind the scenes. Do you take me for an idiot?!” Ivan was also a bit annoyed at this moment because Michael had called Sandy away. He was a bit furious. Many people could take care of Ivanka. Why did it have to be Sandy? Michael stared sharply at him. His eyes seemed to show his displeasure as well. But Ivan was not afraid and sneered. “Look at you! Stay single then! You don’t deserve Ivanka!” After saying that, Ivan did not want to talk to Michael anymore. He turned and walked out the door. If he continued to stay, he was afraid that he would quarrel with Michael! Michael’s expression was chilling. After Ivan left, he sat quietly on the sofa alone again. At that moment, he lit

Sandy frowned. She turned to Ivanka and could not help but ask, “Exactly who attacked you? Were you injured by mistake or did someone target you?” “I don’t know for the time being. “Ivanka grinned. “Go back first. Don’t worry. I’ll be fine.”Ivanka did not tell Sandy the truth. She did not want Sandy to worry about her. Sandy sighed in resignation. “Okay. Take a good rest. Reach out to me for any problems. I’ll come over at any time. Michael isn’t reliable!” Ivanka chuckled. “Alright.” Sandy then left hesitantly and worriedly. After she returned home, she saw Ivan sitting on the couch and looking grim. Sandy frowned and questioned him, “Why didn’t you tell me about Iv getting hurt?!” Ivan glanced at her coldly. “She stopped me from telling you.” “And you listened to her?! She needs someone to take care of her, and Michael can’t do that. What would happen if they get another mole when you’re trying to get someone to take care of her?!” Ivan frowned. “She’s a grown-up.

Chiara remained silent. Theodore was helpless. He sat beside her and hugged her. He comforted Chiara, “You’re the apple of my eye. Why would I even shout at you? I lost my composure and accidentally raised my voice. Besides, I was worried that you might say something else and people overheard it. Don’t you trust me?” Theodore looked at Chiara dotingly. There was some stubble on his face. He looked haggard. When Chiara turned around and stared at Theodore, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. In the past, Theodore was a neat person. Despite his portly figure, he looked like the typical wealthy man. However, at that moment, Theodore had clear eye bags under his eyes. He had stubble on his face even during working days. Chiara sensed something amiss. She turned to him and frowned. “Dad, are there any problems with the company?” Chiara stopped throwing a tantrum. The company became her priority. Theodore grinned. “Nothing could possibly happen to the company. Don’t overthink i
