“You know something, Ivy? You are too nice to everyone and that's the reason why everyone is taking advantage of you. You should learn to clap back sometimes” Natalia said as she walked toward the cabinet to drop her handbag. Ivy simply followed her into the office room without saying a word. She just listen to what Natalia said silently. When Natalia didn't hear any response from the young woman beside her, she turned back and saw Ivy lurking at the entrance. Natalia turned to face her and said, “Did you even hear what I said? Anyway, what are you doing there? Come inside” Natalia beckoned on her to come over. Ivy walked into the room carefully and stood in a corner–She was afraid of ruining something. After all, everything in the store looks quite expensive. She couldn't afford to get in trouble for such issues. “Ivy, look at me. You don't have to act so formally in front of me, you are my friend and I need you to treat me like your friend. In friendship, we are all equa

What kind of ideas did she have? What did Jane and her future husband's arrangement have to do with her, and why ask her here to make a fool of herself? A wave of anger surged to Ivy's heart. Ivy looked at Jane with a calm butsad expression. "Yes, what am I doinghere?” “You! Ivy Haddock! You're so shameless!Today is my blind date meeting withRichard! You're all dirty, and yourlimping legs cannot even come together.How many I have you just been with, and did you just come to bring bad luck tom e? Get lost! ” Jane wished to tear Ivy into pieces! Was it easy for her to hold this blind date arrangement with Richard at a better restaurant? Why here of all places? Richard did not like publicity, so shehad to keep a low profile. Even whenhaving this arrangement with Willard's family. He also did not notify the Willard family as they only came to know about this arrangement, at the last minute and after her grandmother inquired about it. It was fortunate that the family also h

“Yes, you must have a lot to do. After all, you still need to look after your incompetent husband as well as your good-for-nothing son. What a pitiful life you have!” Gloria Luz said. “You think that's all she has to do? She still has to go search for her pauper of a daughter-in-law” Victoria Summers said with a loud voice. “I feel pity for her, what could a helpless woman like her do in this situation? She only has to sway with the wind”.Violet could hear their taunting words as she hurried out of the garden.Her eyes were beginning to turn purple from anger. She didn't have the strength to counter those women. After all, they were right with what they are saying.The caliber of women in that sphere throwing mocking words at her we're beyond her standings– Because of this, she couldn't dare to do anything about it. Violet was afraid of causing any more trouble for the family since she might get severely punished if any of the women should lay a complaint against her.She could

Ivy sprinted out of the Willard mansion with tears lingering under her eyelids. He was trying so hard to avoid letting her tears fall off. Her eyes were blurred by her tears she didn't see a new car living right in front of her.Her legs were wobbling as she ran out of the house. Because of this, she struggled to walk faster.Just as she was about to walk out of the gate, she heard someone call out to her.“Maam Ivy, wait!” When Ivy heard the familiar voice called out to her, Ivy was forced to stop in her tracks, she knew who the voice was linked to.Ivy stood still upon hearing the voice calling out to her. She turned around to see Isla walking toward her tearfully.She had a sad expression on her face as she walked. “What's wrong? Why do you look like that?” Ivy asked with a tone filled with concernIsla was shaken beyond work and it took her a long time before she could say anything. “Ma'am Ivy, why did you sign on the papers? Ma'am Violet only wanted to provoke you into doing

“Do you remember this?” Shaun asked and stretch his phone toward Ivy. Ivy froze for a second before she quickly recollected herself and spoke. “What? W-what did you say, sir?” “Here, have a look at this” Ivy reluctantly took the phone from him and took a look at the image on the phone. Immediately after she did that her eyes popped out with shock written all over her. “This...This is a picture of me from before. How-how did you get these?” Ivy was flabbergasted. “As I said earlier, I'm your older brother. Why are you surprised I have these?” Shaun tried to tease her? “Also, here, look at this” Shaun slid to another image. Ivy looks at the lit screen of the phone once again and her shocked expression became even more stern. She had deep wrinkles on her face as she look at the phone bewildered. “This is my pendant. Here it is, look at this!” Ivy dipped her hand into her dress and brought the necklace dangling around her chest. She wanted to pawn the necklace for some money be
