Ivanka was not afraid of such politics, but she had absolutely no interest in running a country.“Uncle, you can tell me the full picture. I’m not a child anymore. I’ve been able to guess some things on my own. For as long as I can remember, I’ve never seen my mother. In my mind, she has always been the woman who abandoned her husband and child. If it weren’t for you, I probably would’ve never wanted to meet her. But now… Now I desperately want to.”Her expression was serious, her brows furrowed, and her heart felt unbearably heavy.She did not even have a single photo of her mother.The more she had been taught by her grandfather to hate her, the deeper the longing had grown.“Even though I’m desperate to meet her, I still owe Jonah a debt. I have to heal his legs. If I don’t, I won’t be at peace with myself.”Following her uncle back to his country would no doubt take a long time. From what he just told her, she was not even certain if she would be allowed to leave.That was

“We’re here,” Michael said coolly. However, he did not move to get out of the car. Instead, he quietly watched Chiara’s expression through the rearview mirror.Looking at the familiar restaurant, a wave of emotions stirred within Chiara.Her health had always been fragile. Michael used to remember her preferences. He had brought her here more than once. He used to come here often himself. Ever since her supposed “death,” though, she had never stepped foot into this place again.She had not expected him to bring her here, but her momentary sentimentality was quickly tucked away by her own will.“I’ve heard of this place. The food’s supposed to be good.” She unclipped her seatbelt without rushing to get out.Only when Michael removed his seatbelt and stepped out did she finally follow his lead.He had reserved a window seat on the second floor.That was his usual choice.However, it was originally Ivanka’s. Their habits had become the same.Even if she could not end up with Mi

“Then let’s just leave it at that. I’ve said my piece. What happens next is up to Michael. If he really regrets what he did and manages to win Iv back, of course I’ll wish them well. But if he’s still the same as before, I absolutely won’t support them getting back together.”Sandy spoke with conviction. The look in her eyes was just as firm.“Got it.”Ivan nodded in agreement and said nothing more....At the restaurant, Michael handed the menu to Chiara. She saw a few of her favorite dishes and naturally wanted to order them.However, to outsiders, she was just Melanie from the countryside.She placed the menu back in front of Michael. “Mr. Barkworth, I’m not very familiar with the food around here. Why don’t you order for us?”“Ms. Levine, you’ve been in Bostone for quite some time now. If you’re still uncomfortable with something as basic as this, how am I supposed to believe you can bring me real value at work?” Michael flipped through the menu and criticized her.Chiara

Chiara actually took Ivanka’s words seriously.Normally speaking, no one would approach a stranger and make such a promise as a show of goodwill without any motive.Chiara’s confidence either made Ivanka sound conniving or revealed how gullible she was.When Michael remained silent, Chiara could not help but get worried. She asked him timidly, “Do you think I’m lying, Mr. Barkworth?”Michael smiled. “I don’t think you’re lying. Iv is a nice person. Naturally, the people she likes won’t be too bad. This meeting is a gesture of goodwill from me. You can slowly tell me about your plan for the project.”This meal they had was only an excuse. As for what Michael could get out of it, it all depended on Chiara.If he could find out what Chiara was up to, he could help Ivanka out, so he was happy to do it.Hearing what Michael said, Chiara no longer had any reservations about him. She roughly told Michael about her plan.“A while ago, I promised to pretend to be Jonah’s fiancee because

Michael explained himself in a calm voice.But his explanation was pointless.His intention was as Ivanka had suspected.She pointed this out coldly. “Alright. Stop explaining yourself. I don’t want to hear it. You think Chiara is pitiful, so you want to work with her, accept her new identity, and allow her to live a new life. Fine, do what you want, but that’s none of my concern.”“Don’t hang up just yet, okay? I’m working with her because I want to help you. When her plan and true identity are exposed, can you spare her life? That’s all I ask.”Chiara had saved his life in the past. Michael would never watch her die and do nothing about it.Ivanka found him laughable. Throughout their marriage which had lasted three years, and even shortly after the divorce, many signs had ousted Chiara as the culprit whenever something bad happened. Ivanka had been innocent the entire time.But Michael always trusted Chiara for no reason. Instead, he had been cold toward Ivanka.He had cal
