Semua Bab Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife: Bab 1651 - Bab 1660

With a wry smile, Ivanka looked at Chiara and said, “Honestly, I didn’t even notice. Like I said, Michael and I are just putting on a show. It’s a mutually beneficial arrangement. Whoever he leaves with is none of my business.”She was telling the truth. She had not even noticed Michael leaving with Tanya. Knowing Michael’s nature, he would never walk off with someone he despised and said harsh things to unless there was a reason.This was Michael they were talking about. Ivanka trusted that he could handle whatever came his way. Besides, Tanya was on his turf. She would not be able to harm him in the slightest.“Well then, are you free tomorrow, Ms. Lane?” Chiara asked carefully.Ivanka felt a thrill of satisfaction. Chiara had taken the bait!After a moment’s thought, Ivanka replied, “I have a meeting with a partner in the morning, and I’m not sure about the afternoon. Tell you what, I’ll reach out if I’m free tomorrow.”“Okay.”Chiara nodded. As Ivanka glanced down at her

With a strained expression, Tanya looked at Michael. Her brow furrowed tightly as she said, “Whether Ivanka is clever or foolish, what grudge would the Hicks family have against her? Why would they go out of their way to kill her? Couldn’t it just as easily be someone from her past or even one of your enemies, Michael?”Michael’s eyes flashed with intensity, but Tanya stood her ground, unwavering, positioned firmly in front of Blake.Blake’s eyes widened slightly. Being defended by a woman did not make him feel humiliated. Instead, he was very touched. He thought. “Tanya really does love me!”Before Blake could react, Tanya spoke again with a cold and sharp voice.“Michael, don’t forget that from Mirvania to Bostone, you and Ivanka have been inseparable. Surely, you’ve got plenty of enemies yourself too?”Tanya aimed to divert Michael’s suspicion away from Blake and his family, hoping to protect him. With someone of Michael’s standing, he was bound to have more than a few adve

Ivanka knew better than to fall into Chiara’s trap, especially when fully aware of her true identity. Yet here was her phone, in Chiara’s hands. That was a situation that defied logic.“Have her call me back herself.” Michael’s voice was firm and brooked no argument.That cold response stung Chiara. His disregard was clear. Michael had no interest in her involvement. He had no trust in her to relay anything. In fact, had he already begun to suspect her motives just from this call?“She’s here,” Chiara handed the phone back to Ivanka.Ivanka could tell the call had affected Chiara. She took the phone and smoothly asked Michael, “What do you want?”In less than a minute, the phone was back in Ivanka’s hands.Michael’s voice was steely as he asked, “What’s going on?”Ivanka replied calmly, “Nature called. I left my purse with Melanie in my rush. I’ll probably stay until the party ends. You should go home first.”She knew Chiara was likely watching her closely for any reaction.

“Wait a minute.” Ivanka thought.Was she angry because Michael had been fixated on Chiara the entire time?Regardless of how he felt about Chiara, what did it have to do with Ivanka? Why would she be mad?When she realized this, Ivanka was shocked by her line of thought.For a moment, she felt awkward and despised herself too.As Michael said, Ivanka had indeed gotten jealous.Little did she know, Michael saw her slight frown when she was deep in thought. He did not believe her earlier words.“It’s actually not that hard to acknowledge how you really feel deep down, just like I have done, Ivanka.”Ivanka was speechless.Michael made her sound like a coward.She refused to accept that accusation!Displeased, she said, “What do you mean by that, Michael? If I were a coward, I wouldn’t have lost my sense of self and wasted three years of my life on you!“You were the one who tossed me the divorce papers, weren’t you? Unlike you, I’m a human being with feelings. We were married

Ivanka could not send Michael back to the Barkworth family’s mansion or other places.But she could not bring him back home either, right?Ivanka thought of Evan’s place. “I can’t spend too much time around him, given the current nature of our relationship. Why don’t you bring him back to your place, Evan?“I still have some emergency pills with me. You still have the prescription I sent you a while ago, right? Given your efficiency, he will be fine if you prepare the medicines today, and then prepare them for consumption or medicinal baths tomorrow. “Huh?”Evan thought Ivanka would say she was taking Michael back to her house. Who would have thought Ivanka would rather go through so much trouble than just take him home?As it seemed, their relationship had once again become awkward and tense.However, earlier that day, they had attended the reunion banquet held by the Levine family together. In the eyes of the outsiders, they had practically remarried.Seeing Evan’s shock, Iv
