Chiara nodded along. “They really have gone too far, but these are what netizens like. You just need to get used to it, Mrs. Barkworth.”“No! I meant that these two have gone too far!” Mindy’s expression was livid. Without saying another word to Chiara, she took her phone and made a call.He answered almost immediately. Mindy clenched her teeth and asked, “Where are you?”Jay said with a calm expression on his face, “On my way home.”Mindy, who was still suppressing her anger, tightened her grip on the phone and said, “Why didn’t you tell me that you were back? Why did you actually go to see Ivanka first?”Chiara’s eyes flashed with a sneer. If Mindy and her husband got into a fight, she would dislike Ivanka even more. By then, Ivanka would completely have no chance of returning to the Barkworths.Besides, the one who called the shots in this family was Grandpa Barkworth. He did not like Ivanka either. He just wanted her to marry into his family, which she would.Chiara pulled M

Mr. Murphy was a sensible man. If Michael had wanted to mess with him, checking the contract would be a pointless thing to do. He took over the card and signed the contract without any hesitation. He smiled and said, “Then, I’ll transfer the title to you tomorrow.” With a calm expression on his face, Michael smoothly put the contract in Ivanka’s hand. “This is for you.” Mr. Murphy was perplexed. Ivanka was completely baffled. As the contract slipped from her grasp, she hurriedly grabbed it. Then, she stared at him with puzzled eyes. Michael, on the other hand, snorted. “I know you hate me, but there is no need to let things get ugly. Since you want the place, I’ll buy it and give it to you. I just hope you will leave our family alone now!” The disdain in his eyes made Ivanka sneer. She casually threw the contract on the ground. “I remember telling you that all your stuff is filthy.” Mr. Murphy was shocked. Mr. Murphy thought, “So this Ms. Lane is… No wonder she called h

Michael’s expression instantly turned icy. Ivan sensed that something was wrong and looked over. When he saw them walking side by side over there and that they appeared to be talking and smiling, the corner of his lips twitched speechlessly.“Your ex-wife has got someone new.”Michael’s expression was glum. Perhaps because his gaze was too stern, they both saw him.Before Jonah could say anything, Michael entered the room. Jonah curled his lip into a sneer.Ivan, on the other hand, glanced at Ivanka and gave her the middle finger before entering.Ivanka continued to enter without comment as Jonah sneered a little and gave her a sidelong glance.Michael had already arrived at the defendant's seat at this point and seated himself.However, his expression abruptly became even sterner when he noticed the sign in front of him!Ivan looked over as well. He was shocked. “Darn! Since when did Ivanka become a lawyer?”Michael clenched his teeth and said nothing.Ivan said frustratingl

“Third, after the defendant developed the project, they had no regard for…”“Fourth…”“Fifth…”Ivanka laid out her arguments against the five points coherently. Every argument was well-founded. Even Michael’s expression stiffened for a second.On the other hand, Ivan had turned a little pale.He had been treating Ivanka like any other lawyer, but everything she had just said was spot on and hit him square in the gut!If he was unable to refute her five points, the certainty of victory had gradually shifted to an equilibrium.Jonah gave a small smile. She had not lied to him at all.Ivanka did not look at Michael from start to finish. She returned her gaze to the judge after she finished speaking with Ivan. “We have clarified the five points mentioned earlier. After that, I’ll make a statement about the lawsuit filed against my client.”The judge was surprised. He was clearly puzzled by Ivanka’s request, but given the situation, he still nodded. “Please proceed.”Ivanka nodded

She spoke slowly and with a calm expression.She did not waste a single unnecessary word, and she did not speak any less than usual.The courtroom was pin-drop silent. Even the judge, some auditors, and the staff were taken aback.Ivan’s fists were clenched.He abruptly stopped speaking at that moment, realizing that no matter what he said, he could no longer salvage the situation.As he looked at Michael, his expression darkened. “I apologize. I gave it my all.”Michael pursed his lips and remained silent. It was a total defeat.Ivanka only smiled briefly after the judge announced the final verdict. She turned to face Jonah. “How are you going to thank me?”Jonah chuckled. “Can I give myself to you?”Their microphones had remained turned on. Ivanka spoke in hushed tones, so no one else could hear her clearly.However, Jonah appeared to have done it on purpose. Everyone had heard him with crystal clarity!Michael’s stare was so cold that Jonah would have died if looks could
