The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 71: Ryan received shocking news
Just as Ivy had left not long ago, Ryan suddenly received a call from Davison, his college friend and personal physician."Hello, Davison. What's up?" Ryan asked, already making a quick judgment: "If you're planning to invite me for a drink, let's do it another time. I'm quite busy right now.""I don't have time to invite you for a drink either," Davison retorted sharply. "I haven't said anything yet. You jumped to conclusions.""I'm just preempting so you don't waste time explaining the reason," Ryan reasoned."I'm calling to remind you: You missed your regular check-up appointment. I waited all morning for you to show up," Davison said, sounding frustrated.Being reminded, Ryan quickly glanced at the schedule on his desk."I had an important meeting this morning, just finished. I was planning to come see you this afternoon," Ryan fabricated an excuse. In truth, this was a lie, and Ryan hoped to deceive Davison with it."If you're not busy anymore, come right away," Davison urged imp
The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 72: Ryan forces Ivy to go with him
It's strange, Ivy thought to herself. Perhaps Ryan got a hangover from last night; did he drink alcohol? He's never taken Ivy along to meet clients before, so why now? Is he not afraid Ivy will mess things up and embarrass him? Or maybe Ryan wants to test Ivy's abilities in front of others? More accurately, he wants Ivy to entertain the client. That's it. If Ivy can't perform well, Ivy feels extremely embarrassed. The other day, Ivy boasted about her education level, and now if Ivy can't do anything, it'll seem like empty talk.The more she thought about it, the more peculiar it seemed. Ivy planned to confront him, but he had already hurried to the elevator, casually throwing a threatening remark over his shoulder."As our client is significant, if you're late, you'll bear full responsibility. You double the compensation for your contract breach."Ivy was taken aback. She wanted to retort to ease her frustration, but she restrained herself. Touching on money matters would be troubleso
The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 73: Ryan asks Ivy about Luke
At this moment, in a luxurious restaurant,."Feel free; order whatever you like," Ryan enthusiastically said to Ivy as they both settled into the seats he had chosen.The restaurant was a typical upscale Western-style establishment with an ambiance that exuded privacy, perfect for a couple. Wait, a couple? Could Ryan have romantic intentions? No, that must be wrong. Ivy had thought too far ahead; there was no way such a ridiculous thing could happen. Observing further, what Ivy wasn’t impressed by was the need to use large lights during the day. Why not design the space to be airy, utilizing natural light? It would be both environmentally friendly and energy-saving."What are you waiting for? Go ahead and order." Ryan noticed her absent-mindedness and reminded her. He wondered if she didn’t like the place.Ivy paid no attention to the menu in front of her. Instead, she was engrossed in looking around, as if searching for someone. A well-dressed person with a commanding presence walked
The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 74: Ryan discovers Ivy is his benefactor
Feeling exhausted! If she remained silent, Ryan would keep wearing that unpleasant expression forever. How could she possibly swallow her food in this mood? Ivy stabbed her fork into the shrimp salad, feeling disheartened as she spoke."We agreed not to discuss the child. And I'm not demanding any legal rights from you. So, there's no need for such an unpleasant reaction, ruining your whole image."His deep black eyes dimmed under the light. The thought of him being a terrible man is bothering me. Compared to Ivy, he felt utterly inferior. How could she confront every issue so boldly, without any fear or hesitation? How can she be so carefree and surprisingly optimistic? That night and the events that followed truly captivated him. He completely conquered his arrogant, unruly heart.Taking a reassuring breath, Ryan suddenly made a shocking declaration."I will take responsibility for the child."Ivy was chewing on the shrimp dish, shocked to the core. She spat out a mouthful of food s
The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 75: Unexpected situation
Four days had passed since Ryan discovered the truth. In other words, it had been four days since Ryan had been avoiding Ivy since she returned to the company. Despite Ivy's reappearance, she acted as if nothing had happened, relieving Ryan from having to worry. Ivy had followed and executed the "three noses" rule correctly. No provocation, no reminders, no attitude, or implicit indication of the incident. Ivy didn't want to mock or scold Ryan at all. She believed it was Ryan's own issue to solve, and she shouldn't interfere.The problem lay in the timing, and everything else was up to Ryan.As usual, Ivy knocked on Ryan's office door."Director, may I come in?" Ivy's voice sounded gentle."Please come in." Ryan snapped out of his focused state on work, granting permission.As the door opened, Ivy appeared, prompting Ryan to ask, "Is there something?"Ryan asked seriously, pretending as if nothing had happened, but inside, he felt like an undercurrent crashing against the shore, stirr
The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 76: Making noise at the hospital
"Are you okay?" Ivy trembled as she turned her head and saw the victim's face very close to hers. And to her astonishment, she recognized her boss, Ryan Blake's. Yes, it was him, with his eyes squinted, looking red and swollen. And his right arm doesn't seem to be doing well."Do you think you can do that and get away with it?" He whispered in a menacing tone, making Ivy shudder and break out in a cold sweat."It was self-defense; you were following me. Suddenly, from behind, I just""I just... How could you act so recklessly?""Why didn't you speak up, and why approach me stealthily? Clearly, you had malicious intent."Ivy growled, then grimaced as she felt the grip of this guy getting stronger and stronger."How dare you talk back like that? Where's your common sense? I already warned you to stay away from that machine. Are you deaf?" He argued to justify his action."What?" Ivy exclaimed, suddenly remembering the dangling earphone strap on her shoulder.The truth was just as he s
The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 77: Heated debate
At this moment, Ivy was waiting for Mason to arrive with the car, and beside her stood Ryan.Speaking out seemed like causing trouble; staying silent made her seem weak, incapable of arguing back, and looked down upon for not having the ability to resist. Oh, the interpretation of human nature; the more she thought about it, the more irritated she became. How could Ivy possibly accept this? Enduring too much had pushed her beyond her limits, forcing her to speak up.“What exactly are you trying to do by making me go with you? You better come clean; it’s clearly not a big deal. Yet, you insist on blaming me, making it difficult. Moreover, both sides are at fault, so why put all the blame on me? And to top it off, you shamelessly play the victim and demand I take responsibility. Don’t you feel any shame? Have some self-respect.”“My eyes are temporarily blinded, and you call that not serious? Or do you want me to go completely blind to satisfy you?” He retorted, spewing a barrage of sha
The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 78: Ivy did not yield
Ivy backed away from Ryan, keeping a considerable distance. She was too preoccupied to notice her bruised, aching wrist, as she was busy giving him a deadly glare. She had never met anyone like him."Are you still resisting?" he continued menacingly, refusing to back down. "Do you believe I can't make you regret it?"With that, he reached out to grab her hand, but Ivy quickly dodged. The more he tried to approach, the more defensive Ivy became.How strange! Did his eyes really see anything? With such decisive actions, who could believe such blatant lies?"This isn't right." The lawyer, who had been observing his persistent coercion, quickly intervened. "Forcing someone against their will is a violation of personal freedom."But Ryan was indifferent to the advice, stubbornly refusing to listen.There was no dealing with him; he was the epitome of obstinacy and arrogance. Ivy was equally stubborn and unyielding. Their struggle created an absurd spectacle under the night sky. Thankfully,
