Chapter 10

Author: Sitch
When I arrived at Michael's company, he was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window with his back toward the door. He was also on the phone with someone, and the conversation didn't seem to be going too well.

"I really need the money urgently, Ivy. Sell off all the luxury goods I bought for you before, and get back that pair of emerald bracelets, too.

"Why not? That was my money in the first place! You used my money to win over another man!

"Don't be so heartless, Ivy, or I'll make sure you regret it!

"Hello? Hello?"

It seemed like the call had been cut off from the other end. Michael punched the glass in anger.

When I knocked on the door, he turned around.

Smiling, I said happily, "Ivy's having an engagement party this weekend. Let's attend it together."

Michael hadn't managed to hide the fury in his eyes, and when he heard the news, he didn't know how he should react. Was it joy or rage?

Either way, I thought it was pretty hilarious to see his expression twist and contort t

    "You deserve to go bankrupt. Serves you right for ending up with nothing!" Ivy screamed.Michael didn't back down either. "You bitch!" he shouted before lunging at her.As the two wrestled with each other, everyone else shook their heads and walked away.…Michael's company went bankrupt. He was hounded by creditors every day, forcing him to spend all his time hiding from them. Not a single day passed without trouble.He also tried to sue Ivy and reclaim all the money he'd given her, but she refused to do that, of course.During their fight that day, she had accidentally cut her face on a piece of glass, and it left a pretty gruesome scar. The money she had wasn't enough to cover her plastic surgery, so she had to sell off her handbags, clothes, and other luxury goods.As a result, she even considered suing Michael for assault and for disfiguring her face.The two of them went at each other's throats, fighting the whole time.When Seth casually mentioned these things to me, I

    "How long has it been since you last came to see me, huh?" Michael snapped. "You wouldn't have come here today if I hadn't insisted on it. Besides, I really don't have any more money.""You don't have any money?" Ivy repeated in dissatisfaction. "Don't give me that nonsense. Do you think I'm as easily fooled as that dumb Rowena?""It's true. Ivy, you have to convince Seth to invest in my company. Otherwise, I'll be going bankrupt."Sneering, Ivy replied, "Sure, but first, you have to give me some money, then I'll talk to him.""You—" Michael was so angry that he couldn't speak.I purposely made a commotion outside. Both of them turned toward the door, visibly panicked when they saw me.By the time I entered the living room, Michael had swiftly regained his composure. "Ivy came to see you, Rowena, but you weren't home.""That's right! I came to invite you out for a meal," Ivy chimed in after swiftly catching his drift."Oh? Is that so?" I remarked. I smiled faintly before waving

    After hearing what Ivy said, Michael finally replied, "Oh, alright. I trust you, but you must help me convince Seth to invest in my company.""Of course!" Ivy said as she smiled sweetly. Her eyes flickered before she added, "Give me a bit more money, Mikey. I want to buy some emerald jewelry to make a good impression on Mrs. Dixon, hoping the family will accept me."Michael scratched his head, looking rather conflicted."I don't know why I've been so unlucky lately, but I lost around two to three million dollars from my stock investments. The company's business hasn't been going too well, either. I've lost quite a bit there, too. That's why I've been desperately trying to find someone to invest in the company."I don't have much cash right now. I really can't give you any."However, Ivy refused to give up. Pouting, she said, "Don't you have a house in the city center?"Michael frowned and said nothing."You need to take risks to win big, Mikey," Ivy gently cajoled him. "As long

    "My dad said he'll consider it, so you just need to wait a little longer," I replied to Michael.That was a lie, of course. I didn't even bring it up with Dad.I surreptitiously moved the piece of steak Michael had given me to the side of the plate.Looking a little disappointed, Michael was just about to speak when he got a notification on his phone. After looking at it, he instinctively blurted, "Asking for money again."His tone was laced with both annoyance and exasperation.Smiling faintly, I asked, "Who's asking for money?"Eyes flickering evasively, Michael replied, "Just a client."Looking at Michael, I recalled Seth telling me about a gathering that was taking place that night. He'd asked me to attend, so I said, "There's going to be a cocktail party tonight. You might be able to find a few investors. Do you want to go?"Michael perked up at once. His eyes gleamed as he quickly said yes.I took a sip of red wine, my lips curling. It looked like I'd be in for an entert

    As soon as we entered the Dixon residence, Ivy's eyes started roaming all over the place. She looked positively thrilled.Seth came up to us with a glass of champagne. He was dressed in a tailored suit and wore a dashing smile."Who's this gorgeous lady beside you, Rowena? Shouldn't you introduce her to me?" he asked.Smiling faintly, I said, "This is my college friend, Ivy Lewis. Ivy, this is my friend, Seth Dixon."Seth politely shook Ivy's hand before asking, "And does Ms. Lewis here have a boyfriend?"Glancing at Ivy, I was just about to answer when Ivy beat me to it. "Nope. I'm still single," she said before smiling shyly at him.Once the party started, Seth invited Ivy to join him for the first dance.The spotlight fell on them—a handsome man dancing with a pretty woman. They looked like the lead couple in a romance film.Smiling radiantly, Ivy leaned her head on Seth's shoulder, her eyes bright with delight.After the dance, Seth's friends crowded around her.
