After Michael returned to his bedroom, Ivanka went to the couch and opened the bag. She saw a phone case on top of a medicine box. Ivanka felt surprised. She took out the medicine box and realized that it was an ointment to improve blood circulation and remove blood stasis. She became slightly stunned. “So, he noticed my leg when I lifted my gown at the banquet. “Why would he be so thoughtful to me?” Ivanka ignored the ointment. After setting up her phone, she immediately returned to her bedroom and contacted Suki. Suki promptly answered her call. “Iv?” Ivanka’s eyes flickered slightly. “Suki, I dropped my phone into the water. I just replaced it with a sim card.” Suki asked worriedly, “What exactly happened?” Ivanka pursed her lips. “I’m not sure about the details. I went out to catch some air when someone shoved me.” Suki grunted, “Who has the galls to lay their hands on you?! I’ve had someone investigate the incident. We can find the source soon. Luckily you info

After they hung up, Ivanka felt the atmosphere settling down and the food tasting better.The food tasted pretty good, to be honest. Enraged, Michael suddenly lost his appetite, but he was unable to understand the strange feeling.He set down his spoon abruptly, and his sullen face worsened the already gloomy atmosphere in the room. However, Ivanka remained unaffected. She was used to his presence, after all.Michael gave her a cold look and wanted to chastise her, but he suddenly felt an uncomfortable weight in his chest when he looked at her current state. Ivanka’s mouth twitched. She said in resignation, “I’m sorry, I wasn’t trying to drive a wedge between you two. I really couldn’t help it.”After all, it was difficult not to laugh at Chiara’s actions.In the past, Chiara gave herself a regal and aloof image.But at present, Ivanka thought Chiara was a major hypocrite.She seemed to be walking down the path to her own destruction, and her regal and aloof image was sl

Was he trying to apply the ointment on her himself?!Ivanka looked at Michael as if he was a lunatic. Ivanka gave up trying to break free since it was not working at all. She glanced at him in disbelief and asked, “What on earth is wrong with you?”It was not as if she had not gotten hurt during their marriage. He had seen them, but did he not always turn his cold back on her?This time, he wanted to put ointment on her just because her heels were hurting?Ivanka could not even describe the strange feeling she was experiencing. This man was toxic. Completely ignoring Ivanka’s words, Michael opened the ointment and carefully applied it on her. Ivanka was dumbfounded. She was speechless and utterly shocked. She could sense the slight coolness of the ointment and the gentleness of his fingertips on her skin. Ivanka felt goosebumps rising all over her body. Ivanka came back to her senses after he was done applying ointment on one leg. She immediately reached out to take t

Ivanka pursed her lips. He was right. This deal would be very beneficial to her, but she seemed a little hesitant and uncertain. Jonah took the chance to give her another push. “If this plan works, you might be able to join the company right away. I can assign Lane’s Group’s projects to you, because you are the only one who can pull it off.”Ivanka slowly looked at him and was met with his gentle smile. She calmly asked, “Mr. Sadler, you are so willing to help me to the extent of paying such a price and making such a huge gamble. What do you want from me?”Not wanting to miss the emotions on his face, she stared straight at him.Jonah smiled. Though he wanted to respond with the word “you,” he spoke freely on the surface. “Putting aside my feelings for you, I can honestly say that I’m very optimistic about this plan as it stands. Without a doubt, nobody in the organization can come up with a plan this flawless. Also, Lane’s Group excels at development projects. However, I have n

Michael kept silent. Ivanka’s words struck him like a blow to the head. It cleared his clouded mind.What was he doing just now?!At that moment, he frowned and his face dropped.God knew how horrible and annoyed he was feeling. Michael closed his eyes, leaned back in his seat, and remained silent. Ivanka breathed a sigh of relief. Moments ago, Michael was so angry. She had no idea what might happen. Suddenly, her phone vibrated. Ivanka saw the caller ID and picked up the call without paying attention to Michael. Before she could say anything, she heard a loud voice from the other end of the line. “Ivanka! How are you? Yesterday, my dad called me out of the blue. It wasn’t until I was free that I found out that you had fallen into the water. Oh no, what happened?!”Michael frowned slightly. But since it was a woman, he collected himself to regulate the atmosphere in the car again, so he did not stop her. Ivanka’s gaze steadied. “What did your dad do to you?”“Oh, i
