The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 16: Ryan's friend shows up
Time passed swiftly, and it was quite some time before Ryan could return to work after calming his nerves. Ivy's direct and powerful attack was truly terrifying. Ryan had to admit that this time he had been defeated by Ivy. Despite feeling angry and frustrated, Ryan couldn't do anything for Ivy, but that didn't mean he was giving up. He vowed to seek revenge in a spectacular manner next time.As Ryan was contemplating his next move, it was already lunchtime. Just as Ryan was about to deal with another issue, he received a lunch appointment call from Mason Taylor, Ryan's friend and personal lawyer. Truth be told, Ryan wanted to decline, but he couldn't, as the lawyer himself had come to pick him up. While Ryan was getting ready to leave the room, Mason Taylor was engaging in small talk to get acquainted with Ryan's secretary. Ivy was the topic of discussion among the women in the company, getting scolded by the boss without a care in the world. Because he had heard about Ivy and was cu
The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 17: Mason's teasing
"Ryan. What's going on with you?" Mason was curious upon noticing your puzzled expression. Suddenly, he had to witness Ryan's childish outburst of wounded pride. This made Mason cautious and concerned. "You're displaying unwarranted petulance. Is something bothering you?""You care about her." Ryan asked indifferently. "I remember you didn't have time for flirting, did you?""Who are you talking about?"Seeing Ryan's silence, the lawyer immediately found the answer."Talking about your secretary, aren't you?" Mason confirmed again.Ryan remained calm, but his facial expression looked rather uncomfortable."It's not unusual for me to start noticing a girl." Without caring whether Ryan listened or cared about what he said, he declared confidently. "Honestly, I've taken a liking to your secretary.""Are you kidding me?" Ryan asked skeptically."I'm serious," Mason affirmed."Since when?" Ryan remained doubtful: "Don't tell me it's just now. Saying that you two have known each other befor
The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 18: Impolite guest
Over the past two weeks, Ivy has not been doing any work related to the duties of a secretary. She comes to the company as if she's going out for leisure, casually playing with her phone, switching between watching movies and playing games. When given tasks by her boss, she either doesn't fulfill them or simply neglects them altogether. She's actively proving herself to be useless and irresponsible, as she previously declared: she'll only cooperate with those she deems worthy; otherwise, she's quick to part ways. Ivy's defiant behavior has irritated many people, leading them to curse her, and Ryan is extremely furious. Due to the fear that Ivy might cause damage to the company, Ryan no longer assigns her important internal tasks, aside from some trivial personal matters. Therefore, Ivy's job now resembles more of a footman for Ryan than a secretary for the CEO of company AB.To be honest, Ryan is quite fed up with the situation. He hasn't encountered anyone as stubborn and courageous
The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 19: Unexpected incident
"Sorry for the interruption; I'm bringing in some coffee."From outside, Ivy announced, then gently opened the door without waiting for any response or permission from those inside. As soon as Ivy stepped into the room, still standing by the door, Ryan visibly displayed his dissatisfaction. Ivy's delay in bringing him and his esteemed guests their coffee annoyed Ryan."Why did it take you so long to make coffee?" Ryan criticized me irritably. "Don't use the excuse of running out of coffee grounds and having to go to the grocery store to buy them."Knowing that Ryan was intentionally trying to make things difficult for her in front of the guests, Ivy didn't show any anger. Instead, she remained calm and composed, tactfully explaining:"I apologize; I took a bit longer due to personal reasons.""Is your personal issue more important than my satisfaction, as well as that of my guests?" Ryan continued to nitpick. "Remember, my time is very valuable. You're just a regular secretary, so you
The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 20: Ivy Is Pregnant?
"Sigh, come on, you two," the mediator interjected to prevent things from escalating further. "It's just a minor issue, not worth arguing over. I'm fine, so..."It seemed neither of the two men were paying attention to Jacob's advice, their tension palpable as they glared at each other."Hey, are you guys even listening to me?" Jacob sighed in frustration and disappointment at being ignored."I just can't understand why you trust her like that, Mason," Ryan pressed on, his frustration evident."My gut tells me Ivy didn't have any ill intentions in that situation," Mason admitted."But you know she's capable of deceiving everyone," he insisted firmly. "Acting is her nature. I can't stand her arrogant attitude, thinking she's better than everyone else and doesn't see anyone as anything.""Why don't you just fire her then?" Mason asked, exasperated by Ryan's stubbornness, which sometimes irks others."I was just about to do that," Ryan exclaimed, extremely frustrated. “But you jumped in
The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 21: Ryan reconfirmed Ivy's pregnancy
When alone in the room, Ryan dared to show concern over the news that Ivy might be pregnant.He was sure that it wasn't his child but someone else's. Ryan was certain of this because he had been using contraception before meeting Ivy and up until now. Therefore, the likelihood of Ryan impregnating someone was very low.So, what was Ivy's purpose in revealing her pregnancy? Was she planning to toy with Ryan to frighten him? Or Ivy would carry out the plan just as Ryan had anticipated, and he only needed to close his eyes to envision every detail clearly.If that were the case, how should Ryan deal with it? Still unsure of what to decide, he first had to find out the truth and determine Ivy's intentions.After much thought, Ryan finally took action. He immediately called Ivy into the room to talk. As usual, Ivy didn't bother knocking. Without announcing anything, she just calmly rushed into the room."What do you want to say?" Upon entering, Ivy immediately spoke up, refusing to allow h
The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 22: That's none of your business.
Unfortunately, Ivy never granted Ryan's small wish. Ivy asked a clever question while teasing Ryan at the same time."How can you be sure that the child in my womb is not yours? We spent a night together in a hotel, remember? And I dare to guarantee that you are the second man in my life."After Ivy finished speaking, she winked mischievously at Ryan. Truth be told, Ryan was quite surprised by Ivy's seemingly truthful revelation, and there was something new stirring in his heart. Ryan wasn't sure or couldn't pinpoint exactly what that novelty was. He only knew that he didn't dislike it, nor was he particularly infatuated with it. However, to maintain his image of authority and coldness, he firmly refused to let emotions overpower his rationality and composure. In a calm tone, Ryan reaffirmed once again."Even if we did spend a night together, that doesn't guarantee the child in your womb is mine." Remembering the memories of that night, Ryan suddenly felt his heart flutter."Why?" Ivy

At 10:30 at the Aberdeen Technology, Construction, and Real Estate Group, Luke Evans, the interim CEO of the conglomerate, is grappling with a looming issue. The company is gearing up for a very special event, commemorating its 38th anniversary. What's noteworthy here is not that he's obliged to attend the event, but rather the arranged marriage orchestrated by both families, to be officially announced during the ceremony. A marriage of convenience, like buying and selling. Even though the families have a longstanding relationship, Luke himself is acquainted with the chosen girl, his future wife. However, Luke harbors no romantic feelings towards her whatsoever; their relationship is purely social, lacking any depth. Yet she has feelings for him, complicating matters for Luke. Nevertheless, Luke is fully aware of the situation and absolutely detests this arrangement. Therefore, he is struggling to find a way to break free from the suffocating cage that he's about to be locked into.Lu
