Chapter 231 Did You Call Me?

Ivanka was no longer standing after Michael slammed the door behind him. She immediately sagged to the ground, and her face was as white as a sheet.“I thought I’d be able to forget everything about him. But his harsh words are as sharp as swords!” She thought as she gritted her teeth. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. She buried her head in her arms and hugged her curled legs. Her back trembled as she cried. Michael had just stepped into the elevator at the same time. He was not feeling any better than Ivanka either. Even the veins on his forehead were bulging. God knew how strong his urge was to break Ivanka in half after she made such infuriating remarks.As the elevator descended swiftly, his mind was filled with images of Ivanka’s insanity.“Now that I think about it, this is the first time I’ve seen Ivanka so upset. It seems like I finally successfully provoked her.” He thought as he closed his eyes.When the elevator door opened, his eyes were clear. He wa

Chapter 232 The Perfect Plan

“N-No. That isn’t the case.” Chiara’s eyes were bloodshot and she appeared dazed. Lyla’s smile faded slowly. Even Theodore, who had been grinning the entire time, had a feeling something was wrong as he looked at the phone his wife was holding. Chiara’s body trembled, as did her lips. “I wouldn’t be so scared if what you say is true. I’m here because it isn’t. Yes, he did return home. But when he saw me, he turned away in disgust! He’s already tired of me! Mom, he doesn’t even want to marry me now!”Lyla and Theodore’s expressions shifted dramatically. Theodore could care less about anything else. He snatched the phone from Lyla’s grasp and exclaimed, “What happened?!”Chiara’s body trembled as she said through her gritted teeth, “He told me to leave this place! He clearly no longer likes me. He doesn’t want to marry me! But he made a promise! What happened? Is he unable to forget Ivanka?!”“Nonsense! He never liked her!” Theodore’s expression darkened. Lyla frowned. She fin

Chapter 233 I Like How You’re Playing Hard To Get

Chiara inhaled deeply. “OK, I understand.”With that, the two ended the call. While Lyla started making arrangements, Chiara sat in her bedroom with jittery nerves.Twenty minutes flew by.Chiara clenched her phone, finally summoning the courage to call Mindy.“Mindy has also eased my transition into the Barkworth family. She has been waiting for tonight as well.”When Mindy’s phone rang, she thought that Chiara and Michael had done the deed. “Chiara, why are you calling at this hour? Are you two not asleep yet?”Chiara inhaled, but her nose was stuffy from crying earlier. “Chiara, dear, what happened?” Mindy asked, frowning.Chiara took another deep breath, as if she was trying hard to hold back her anger, and said softly, “Aunt Mindy, I... I’m coming home.”As she said the last few words, her voice shook as her tears spilled.Mindy’s worried expression was immediate. “Chiara, what happened? Why are you suddenly returning home? Where’s Michael?!”Chiara sighed. “Aunt Mindy

Chapter 234 Which Hospital Are You Going To?!

“Ah!” Chiara panicked and let out a loud cry. “Let me go! Have you all lost your minds?!”“You *sshole!”At that precise moment, a man rushed over and punched the thug square in the face!“What the—?! Who’re you? Who the hell hit me?! My nose is bleeding! Beat him up!” Chiara looked at that man, terrified. She had never met him before. He was a stranger to her.Even at night, she could see his well-defined face and thought he was very attractive. “Who is he? Did Mom send him?” She wondered.She dashed to the side, but the thug from earlier caught her and asked, “Do you really think you’re safe just because someone has come to your rescue? You’re destined to be mine!” He then dragged her away.She screamed in terror. The thug said, “Ms. Lane, in a while, hit me. I’ll pretend to beat you up in rage. Try to make it as authentic as possible. After that, you’ll be sent to the hospital.”Chiara was stunned. She quickly agreed to everything he said. “Do you think you can escape j

Chapter 235 What Exactly Happened?

“Mrs. Barkworth?” Lyla sounded a little drowsy. “What happened? Why are you calling so late at night?”“Mrs. Lane…” Mindy took a breath and said with a complex expression, “I’m truly sorry!”Lyla paused on purpose, as if she had just become fully alert. But, before she could speak, Mindy spoke, “I tried calling Chiara, but she didn’t answer me. When the call finally went through, a man answered it. He said that she was surrounded by a group of thugs, and he saved her. She’s on her way to Ternary Hospital. I-I…”“Did something happen to Chiara?” Lyla sounded panicked. “They’ll reach Ternary Hospital in another ten minutes or so. Mrs. Lane, let’s go there before we talk any further!”“Okay!” Lyla hung up and looked at Theodore, who was next to her. She no longer looked as flustered as she did before. “All right, let’s go,” she said calmly.Theodore had a frown and was feeling worried. “Are you sure that this plan is going to work?”“Of course!” She glanced at his worried face and

Chapter 236 Giving Him a Hard Slap

“Lyla!” Theodore quickly helped her.Lyla was breathing heavily, and her eyes were red. However, she did not say anything that indicated she blamed Mindy for anything.“Sorry… I’m really sorry. I didn’t watch my son’s behavior. I even suggested the idea. It’s my fault.” Mindy’s eyes were teary.Last time, Chiara’s left leg had been severely injured, and she had fallen into a “coma” due to injuries on her other body parts. This time, the thug kicked her in the left leg again. How could Mindy not panic?Lyla looked devastated. She took a deep breath before she quickly grabbed Mindy’s hand. “Mrs. Barkworth, I have a favor to ask!”Mindy subconsciously shook her head in regret. “This is my fault! Lyla, how can you still ask me to help you?”“Can you ask Mr. Barkworth to come over?” Lyla’s eyes turned red, and she was flustered as she said, “Mrs. Barkworth, I know that Mr. Barkworth might not like my daughter, so I won’t let my daughter come into contact with Michael and disturb him a

Chapter 237 Don’t Delay This Any Longer

Mindy was so angry that her body shook. Her eyes were bloodshot as she stared at Michael. “You said you would marry Chiara. How much has Chiara sacrificed for you? Are you blind? It’s only right even if she stays at your house forever. You owe her! But what happened, Michael Barkworth?! What did you do?”Michael pursed his lips without a word.Lyla immediately shook her head. “No, Mrs. Barkworth. Please calm down. This has nothing to do with Mr. Barkworth. It’s my daughter…” “It has nothing to do with Chiara!” Mindy was truly in a fit of rage. Even though she was in the hospital, she did not hold back. She raised her hand and gave Michael another slap in the face!This time, both of his cheeks were equally red.Michael did not avoid it. He just had a grim expression and remained silent.Mindy gritted her teeth and spoke again, “I gave her the idea! I forced her to go! Chiara didn’t want to push you into a corner like that. I was the one who told her that both of you aren’t young

Chapter 238 You’re Giving Me Hope

Michael had a tight frown that instant, but he could not say anything.Mindy was already giving Samuel a call.Samuel was puzzled when he answered the call. “Girl, why are you calling me at this hour?” he asked.Samuel and Rosie treated Mindy very well, and that was how they usually addressed her. Mindy had also gotten used to it. “Dad, there are a lot of things I can’t explain right now, but I plan on discussing them with you. Can you get them to post the announcement that we’ve prepared for a long time first?” she quickly said.Samuel was slightly surprised. “Post it now? Has Michael agreed?”“It’s not up to him to decide! Hasn’t he made enough mistakes? Dad, I’m in the hospital. Chiara just made it out of critical care, and it’s all because of that brat, Michael! He has to marry Chiara!”Samuel was startled. “What happened?”Mindy sighed, but after she contemplated for a while, she quickly answered, “Dad, just ask them to post the announcement. I still have some arrangements

Chapter 239 Don’t Blame Me for Being Early

Michael pursed his lips. “Grandpa and Mom already made the announcement.”Chiara’s body trembled, and she subconsciously looked at Michael. She moved her lips but did not know what to say.Michael looked calm as he said, “I owe you this. Besides, today’s incident was unexpected. Give me two more months to handle some things.”Chiara’s eyelashes trembled slightly. “Mic, you…”She seemed to be at a loss for words. In the end, Michael looked at Chiara’s leg that was dressed in bandages and softly asked, “Does it still hurt?”Chiara shook her head. “I didn’t go through a big surgery. It was a minimally invasive surgery. My leg is just wrapped in a very exaggerated way. I’m fine. Look!” Even though Chiara said that, she instantly gasped when she raised her left leg to show Michael!“Stop trying to be tough!”Michael did not move as he was afraid of touching her wound. “Put your leg down.”Chiara kept quiet and obediently put her leg down.A while later, the rest walked in. “Grand

Chapter 240 I’ll Continue Crying Now

His assistant seemed startled before he subconsciously looked at Jonah. “Mr. Sadler, do you really want…” “...To be with her?” He thought.He dared not finish the sentence out loud.Jonah smiled faintly. “Everyone thinks that I’m a playboy, so why can’t I be with her? Who would find it outrageous?”“But you’re not that kind of person. Besides, Ms. Lane’s been married before. Mr. Sadler, you’re an outstanding man…” Jonah smiled. “I don’t mind it. Besides, Ivanka is worth it.”“You…” Surprise filled his assistant’s eyes. When Mr. Sadler first interacted with Ivanka, she had taken the initiative to contact him. She revealed her identity as Iris, and she was willing to collaborate with him.Mr. Sadler could also take the opportunity to go against Michael.However, the more they got in touch, the more Mr. Sadler’s mindset seemed to change!His assistant wanted to know if he had fallen for that woman! This should not happen! Where had the wise Mr. Sadler gone?Jonah turned arou
