Lahat ng Kabanata ng Mommy's Revenge: Kabanata 121 - Kabanata 130

The faint sound of crying came clearly from the master bedroom. It felt like a thread tightly wrapped around the heart, pulling tighter and tighter, almost stopping the heart from beating. Ivan pressed his lips tightly without making a sound. He took a few steps back and lowered his voice, "How often does your mom have nightmares?" Todd seemed calm and composed on the surface, but his heart had long been in chaos. He hated Ivan the most, yet he couldn't help but open up to this man. He lowered his head and said, "When I was just a kid, Mom had frequent nightmares, like every three to five days. As I grew older and Mom built her own life and social circle, the nightmares gradually reduced. I consulted a doctor, and they said that if you wake up during a nightmare, it only makes the nightmare deeply engraved in the person’s memory, so I dare not go in...Standing outside the master bedroom, Ivan listened to the cries that grew louder and softer. Suddenly, he thought

Emily's eyes instantly turned red.She bit her lip, her eyes welling up with tears, giving her a misty look.Taking a step forward, she complained, "Ivan, last night you left the banquet early without taking me with you. Mr. Robinson ended up giving me a ride home... Do you know how inappropriate Mr. Robinson was? He looked at me with lustful eyes and even grabbed my hand... If I hadn't resisted, he would have almost taken me to a hotel room..."Finally, Ivan looked at her directly. "Why did you resist?"Emily faltered, almost choked by this question.Wasn't resisting a normal reaction? What was there to ask about?But since Ivan asked, of course, she had to give a proper answer.She blinked, and tears streamed down her face. "Ivan, I am not a promiscuous woman... Five years ago, that night between us was the result of various accidents. I regret why I had relations with a man before marriage, but what could I do? You were drunk that night, so strong that

Mr. Anderson and Haley shook hands and exchanged a few polite words.Haley smiled and said, "Thanks to my cousin’s help, everything will go smoothly."The office location was arranged by a cousin, and the few programmers in the office were also introduced by him.Without this cousin's help, her studio would surely be in chaos...Mr. Anderson speculated silently. Perhaps their General Manager, Miss DeRoss, was just a figurehead, and not actually involved in the company...However, Mr. Anderson, seasoned in the workplace, knew better than to show too much emotion in front of a business partner. He proceeded professionally, saying, "Ms. DeRoss, let's discuss the initial design plan for this project...""Buzz, buzz, buzz."Haley's phone vibrated on the table.She glanced at the caller ID, seeing that it was Thomas, and promptly ended the call. "Apologies, Mr. Anderson, please continue..."Mr. Anderson nodded. "I glanced at the proposal. You are using

Mr. Anderson carefully considered his words in his mind and slowly said, "I admire Miss DeRoss's design concept. She has adopted a completely new programming approach, shattering and blending the traditional modular writing into a new set of code rules. I find it quite daring..."Ivan nodded, a hint of appreciation in his eyes.He had dabbled in programming himself, and he was confident that the world couldn't find more than three programmers who would dare to design a project like this.Haley had truly impressed him.He tossed the proposal book over, saying, "There are benefits in taking risks. The initial draft is finalized for now. You continue to negotiate this project."After Ivan finished speaking, he went straight into the CEO's office.Luke patted Mr. Anderson's shoulder. "Mr. Winston is very optimistic about this project, Mr. Anderson...""If you get this done, you might even get a promotion and a raise!"Mr. Anderson gave a bitter smile.

"Auntie, marriage should exist out of love," Catherine's lips curved into a smile."Without love, marriage is a grave. Of course, Ivan wouldn't want to build a grave for himself just for the sake of the children."Mrs. Winston shook her head, not saying anything.After so many years in Australia, she had long lost control over her son. Whatever she said had no meaning."Auntie, I really like Ivan's view of love," Catherine suddenly looked down and smiled. "I've known you for so many years, and I hear Ivan's name every day, but it's like I've never seen him before. Do youhave a picture of Ivan?"Mrs. Winston glanced at Catherine.Four or five years ago, Catherine appeared in her life. She would come to see her every day, and she would confide in this twenty-something young girl.Even the misunderstandings between her and Ivan, she had told Catherine everything.If Catherine became her daughter-in-law, then the misunderstandings between her and Ivan would surely be eased because of Cath
