Ivan was shocked when he heard this.Was that lunatic out of his mind?How dare he say such things!He had feelings for Ivanka, yet he adamantly denied them and chose to utter such hurtful words instead!Why? Why would he do that?!Ivanka’s face turned pale. She was completely taken aback by Michael’s words.The next moment, she could not help but laugh, “Yeah, I don’t deserve it. I know that. That’s why I’ve been keeping my distance from you.”She no longer wanted to talk to him. Words could not express how annoyed she was at him.Michael’s expression changed as he spoke those words. It seemed as though they had slipped out without much thought.When he noticed Ivanka’s pale face, he pursed his lips and turned away without a word.Ivan, who was still driving, could feel the awkwardness in the air and couldn’t stand being there any longer.He cleared his throat and quickly intervened for Michael’s sake, “Come on, you two! What’s the big fuss about? It’s not that serious! Mic

“If you have some time, find out what her entire plan is. Otherwise, it won’t be good for us if she keeps us uninformed.” “I know. I tried asking her, but she told me not to pry on things I shouldn’t know. Knowing too much could lead to trouble.” Chiara felt increasingly frustrated as Ivanka continued to cause trouble and having to deal with the strong-tempered backer.Lyla took a moment to think before suggesting, “Let’s be flexible for now. But we shouldn’t rely solely on her instructions. We should also take the initiative and act independently.”Chiara pursed her lips and did not want to say anything anymore. It was Lyla’s birthday, after all. It was better to leave things unsaid. ... Another three days passed. It was nearing the end of afternoon work hours when Ivanka got a call from Suki. “Iv, you free after work?”“What’s up, Suki?”Ivanka knew that Suki would not directly contact her unless it was urgent and to avoid wasting her time unnecessarily.“I’ve met mos

The next moment, Samson spoke in a deep voice. “This list was originally for Mr. Fernando’s health regimen. These are all standard medications. On what basis do you accuse me of causing someone’s death? Just because you’re a lawyer, it doesn’t give you the right to make baseless accusations. I could sue you for this! I believe in fair law. It won’t bend just because you’re Iris!”Samson’s voice carried anger but contained a hint of hidden guilt that he forcefully tried to conceal.Ivanka was so furious that her hands were shaking.The culprit was right in front of her, yet she could not rip him to shreds!She tried to restrain herself and remained silent.Suki was concerned that Ivanka might get too worked up. She looked directly at Samson and said in a low voice, “Dr. Cooper, the fact that I was able to trace you down, are you sure you’re innocent? If you tell us everything you know, you might still have a shot at a peaceful retirement. But if you keep insisting on staying silent

Inside the car, Suki turned to Ivanka. “Iv, what do you plan to do next?” Ivanka stared at Dr. Cooper’s silhouette as he left in a hurry. She said pointedly, “Since we’ve found some traces, we need to keep investigating. I’ll handle the rest.” Suki disagreed. “How can you take care of everything on your own?” Ivanka chuckled. “You can temporarily let go of the matters related to my father. I still need your help with the matters related to my mother.” Suki nodded. “Okay. If you need my help in matters related to your father, you can always reach out to me.” Ivanka nodded. Suki wordlessly started the car engine. Meanwhile, things were different on the other side. After Dr. Cooper arrived home, he anxiously called Theodore. Theodore was eating his meal when he saw Dr. Cooper’s phone. Then, he frowned. “Why would Samson call me?” Lyla placed some food on Chiara’s plate before turning to Theodore skeptically. “Samson? Samson who?” Chiara frowned as well. They seemed t

“Samson.” Samson shuddered and turned to Theodore. “What is it, Mr. Theodore?” Samson grew even more panicked. Theodore said, “You’ll go to work as usual during this period. But don’t go anywhere else and stop contacting Ivanka. If she calls or WhatsApps you, don’t reply to her. Don’t give her a chance to discover more about that issue.” Samson heaved a sigh of relief and nodded. “Got it.” ... It was getting late at night. Michael was alone at home as he handled his job tasks. He had endless tasks to work on daily. Suddenly, he received a notification from his WhatsApp. He clicked on it. Evan: Mr. Barkworth, I’ve found it. He’s a doctor from Lane’s Group’s hospital. His name is Samson Cooper. He was the third-in-command in the hospital, thanks to Theodore Lane. The two had been in contact with each other several times before. Michael narrowed his eyes. Michael: Did you say they contacted each other a few times before? Evan: Yes. After Ms. Lane’s father passed aw
