As she said that, Anna cried even more. Sandy’s expression changed. “Oh no! Don’t cry. Men aren’t worth it!Hanson may be our friend, but he can only be our friend. If he really becomes your boyfriend, something terrible might happen!” Ivanka and Anna were both speechless. “Forget it. I’d better handle it on my own. You’re going to be the death of me.” Anna could not help but snap. Sandy was speechless. “Hey, I’m going to take a shower first.” Anna got up after saying this. Both of them were planning to stay at Sandy’s house tonight. After all, they had to take care of Ivanka.Neither of them went to work the next day either. After all, they are all affluent ladies. No one was short of money. So, things like going to work were just something they did for fun. Anna was destined to take over her family business. Sandy might have distanced herself from her family, but she would still have to return at some point. … The next day, Ivanka had to go back to pick up

Sandy was rather interested in the compensation.After all, she had heard about Jonah’s high emotional intelligence before. On the other hand, she and Anna wanted nothing. They were not tempted by money and jewelry, as well as those bags and other luxurious items. They would not feel like he was making up to them if he gave them those things. Rather, it would feel as if he was just humoring them. So, what else could Jonah do?At that, Anna was interested as well. Jonah smiled. “I remember that Iv’s birthday is coming soon.”Anna was confused. Sandy instantly rolled her eyes. “So the compensation you’re talking about is for us to prepare a gift for Iv for her birthday?”What kind of compensation is that?Ivanka instantly smiled. “Why would I ask you to do that?”Ivanka frowned slightly as she looked toward Jonah. Although she did not say anything, it showed all her disapproval. But Jonah did not care so much. He said elegantly as he looked at Sandy and Anna, “I want to o

Over the next ten days, Ivanka’s injury gradually improved. She decided not to stay home and started to go to the office. When she did not go to the office, Michael did not tell anyone that she was injured. Evan only said that Michael had sent her to do something else. If he said that Michael wanted it, people would not question it in the slightest. But if he said that Ivanka wanted to do it on her own, then people would talk about Ivanka. They would say that she was up to trouble again. Over these ten days, Michael had not gone to see Ivanka. But when he learned that Ivanka had come to work, he immediately frowned and walked toward Ivanka’s office. He did not voice his arrival and just opened the door. Then, he saw Ivanka working. Michael frowned harder. “Who let you come to work?” Ivanka was a little surprised. She looked up and saw that Michael had already closed the door and walked in. He was glaring at her darkly. She was surprised that Michael would come over, but

Ivanka’s expression was particularly grim, while Michael’s was brooding as well. So many people had just seen Ivanka’s back, which made him furious!He quickly unwrapped Ivanka’s bandage and found that her wound was as she had described. It had already healed with new flesh and scabbed over. He carefully re-applied the bandage and did up her shirt.Ivanka remained silent as she was trying to control her emotions. However, those people’s intrusion today made it hard for her to control her anger.She took a deep breath and spoke coldly, “I seriously doubt whether you have any authority at all. Your subordinates’ proposals are worse than trash. They all want to settle scores with me just because I criticized them. Even when I brought you up to intimidate them, it didn’t work. Now that they’ve seen what we were doing, they would probably say that I got my position by sleeping with you.”Michael’s expression darkened a little more, but strangely, hearing Ivanka’s last sentence seemed to

Besides, if she persuaded Rosie to let her follow Samuel to the study, Rosie would surely defend her again. Then, there would be another big argument between Rosie and Samuel.It was better for her to confront Samuel directly. Let Samuel vent his displeasure on her so that it would not affect Rosie and Samuel’s relationship.Michael’s mood seemed to lighten further. Ivanka’s sharp tongue, which was usually directed at him, was now aimed at Samuel. He was relieved someone was sharing the burden with him.Samuel gritted his teeth as his gaze shifted to Michael. His eyes were filled with displeasure and insinuation. They seemed to express something. “So, this is the woman you chose? This is the woman you want to protect?”Michael looked back at Samuel calmly. His gaze held the answer. “Weren’t you the one who chose her back then?”Samuel could not deny that.Samuel immediately turned his head away and broke eye contact.Back then, the marriage alliance simply seemed inevitable beca
