Ivanka sneered. Sandy’s gaze was contemptuous. This woman was hypocritical! She had quite the skill for lying with a straight face!“Oh, I had no choice. Your cousin is still young. If she stays like this forever, what is she going to do in the future?”Ivanka sat down on the chair next to Chiara’s bed and stared at her. She simply grinned and uttered, “Chiara.”Chiara’s eyelids twitched. Had Ivanka not been recording? Why else would she call her like this?However, the next moment, she understood. After all, so many recordings had already been leaked online. Ivanka did not bother to keep up with the facade anymore, did she?While Michael was the one who released the recordings, they had also tarnished Ivanka’s reputation somewhat. Perhaps Ivanka had not wanted them released in the first place? Sensing Ivanka’s scrutiny, Chiara quickly pulled her drifting mind back and stopped dwelling on it.Ivanka chuckled and said, “A lot of times, people need to give themselves a sense of s

Chiara’s pupils contracted slightly, but she kept her face down and out of view.Ivanka did not bother to glance at her. She knew full well what Chiara was thinking.When Chiara remained silent, Ivanka simply smiled. “If you truly wish to wallow in self-pity like this, by all means.”It sounded like she was deeply disappointed at her, but to the three of them, her words carried a different weight.It was highly likely that this was Ivanka’s genuine intention. She wanted Chiara to spend the rest of her life in this state.Lyla’s expression grew grimmer. She took a deep breath. “Iv, how could you say such things? You two are sisters!”Ivanka smiled indifferently and replied, “That’s just how the world works. It’s survival of the fittest. If you don’t have the ability, you’ll be eliminated. If Chiara chooses to wallow in self-pity and melancholy like this, then it’s better for her to stay here. It could become her refuge, where she can isolate herself in her own world and perhaps fi

She finally spoke after some hesitation. “Where are you?”“I’m heading out of the airport. Let’s meet up somewhere nearby. Just find a place and wait for me.”Jonah must be aware of the current situation’s development, yet he had not intervened. He had always respected her decisions. Ivanka was grateful for this.If Jonah had interfered, the situation could have become much more complicated, or their plans could have been thwarted.“Okay.”With that, they hung up.Sandy’s lips curled up. “Wow, looks like you’ve got another admirer knocking on your door.”Ivanka lightly tapped Sandy’s forehead with a hand. “What’s going on in that head of yours every day?”“I think about important matters, of course! But seriously, have you never considered Jonah? He’s handsome, powerful, wealthy, and he’s at the top of the pyramid.”Ivanka sighed. “I’ve said it before, I’m not considering him. I’m meeting him later, so let’s find a restaurant nearby.”“All right. I’ll go with you, but I’ll wa

Ivanka never liked playing games or leading men on. It was a matter of integrity.“All right, I understand.” Jonah chuckled. He did not seem uncomfortable at all. He even seemed oddly pleased.Previously, she used to address him as Mr. Sadler, but now, whether it was out of guilt or for some other reason, she was calling him by name. It was already a significant improvement. He was very satisfied.Ivanka frowned slightly. She was unsure of what he was thinking. However, she had made herself clear. If she emphasized further, she would be overreacting.She dropped the matter and spoke calmly, “I’ll come up with a project within ten days. What aspects are you interested in, and when do you want to execute it?”“We can wait until you have some free time to execute it, and it can also involve substantial investment. However, it must be kept confidential. I don’t want anyone to sabotage our collaboration.”Jonah implied that he did not want Michael to know.Ivanka did not object to th

Ivanka picked up her phone and called Sandy.Sandy answered immediately. “What is it, babe? Are you done?”“Yeah, you can come over now.”“Sure!”Sandy rushed over. When she opened the door, she did not take a proper look at the people in the room and immediately said with a grin, “Hey, look how considerate I am! I was worried that I’d be too big of a third wheel and get in your way!”Ivanka was dumbfounded.Sandy, too, was speechless.She only spotted Jonah sitting in the chair the moment she finished talking. He looked at her with a slight smile. “Yeah, you’re considerate indeed. I’m glad that Iv has a bestie like you.”Sandy was even more flabbergasted.Ivanka was speechless.Embarrassed, Sandy put a hand on her forehead. “Ugh…”Jonah’s smile seemingly broadened. He looked over at Ivanka and said gently, “Let’s have dinner together?”“No, thanks. I’m a patient, and I need rest.” At that moment, Ivanka turned down his invitation without hesitation.Jonah raised his brows
