Ivy wasn’t foolish enough to go to Jena, making it easy for others to track her down. She didn’t meet Jena in person, only called to inform her that she would be traveling for a while. Despite Jena’s persistent questioning, Ivy firmly refused to reveal her reasons. In the end, knowing her friend too well, Jena had no choice but to accept Ivy’s decision and let her choose her own path.Thinking too much made her exhausted. Ivy sighed, her eyes fixed on the scenery ahead. She was currently at the train station, sitting in the waiting area for her departure. This trip was entirely impulsive, and she had chosen her destination at random. She wasn’t sure why she made such a decision—perhaps because she didn’t know how to deal with the unwavering determination of the two men who claimed to love her.She felt drained, caught in the complex web of relationships between Luke and Ryan. She truly didn’t know how to put an end to it all. She had been angry, had pushed them away, but neither was w

"I want to go home now," Ivy said as they pulled away from their embrace."Of course, we'll go to my apartment," Ryan responded cheerfully.Ivy raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Why are we going to your apartment?""Because I want to be with you. Your house is too far, and I'm exhausted from running around looking for you."Ivy froze, completely taken aback by Ryan's response. The first part sounded touching—maybe even enough to make someone feel happy—but the second part? It was downright infuriating. Was he bragging about his efforts? Expecting praise for something that didn't deserve recognition? Did he think he had already won her over? He should stop daydreaming in broad daylight. Ivy still had plenty of tests for Ryan. She couldn’t just nod in agreement and let things unfold naturally. She didn’t fully understand Ryan yet—sometimes, he was so lacking in tact that it made people lose their good impression of him.She couldn't let Ryan misunderstand what her agreement meant. Gritti

Heart, why don’t you waver? Ivy blamed herself. This man was good—far better than Dylan Carter in every way. If she had to choose what was best for herself, she would have chosen Luke. All it would take was for her heart to beat for him, and she would willingly surrender to fate’s arrangement. But things were never as simple as people wished them to be. And as she had said before, her choice had valid reasons. More importantly, she couldn’t be selfish—Luke deserved happiness.Think about it. She was a flawed woman—unable to have children, incapable of fully expressing her emotions. If she accepted him, she wouldn’t just be doing him a disservice, but she would also be condemning herself to a lifetime of guilt.It was frustrating, but it was the truth. If things didn’t work out between her and Ryan, she knew she would still be fine. But if she and Luke loved each other and then broke up, she would undoubtedly be shattered once more. Because the trust she placed in him was far greater t

Today was like any other day. Ivy arrived at the company and buried herself in work. Ever since she agreed to give Ryan a chance, he had entrusted her with tasks related to her position, and she was more than happy to take them on to help him. Beyond her regular duties, Ryan also trusted Ivy enough to discuss important company matters with her. Through these actions, he wanted to show his love for Ivy and bring them closer together.To be honest, Ivy still wasn’t used to this new change, but she was doing her best to adapt. At the moment, she hadn’t even finished her report when the receptionist approached her, sounding somewhat hesitant."Ivy, there's a woman here to see Ryan."Ivy looked up, frowning slightly. "Who is she?"The receptionist shook her head, looking a bit troubled. "She didn't say, only mentioned that it's something important.""I got it. You can go back to work. I’ll handle it.""Alright, I’ll leave it to you," the receptionist said before turning and walking toward

Zoe Brown was not someone who accepted failure easily. Her conversation with Ivy hadn’t satisfied her—in fact, it had only ignited an indescribable hatred within her. Ivy hadn’t shown fear, hadn’t backed down. Instead, she had looked at Zoe with that calm, indifferent gaze, as if she didn’t even consider Zoe’s existence worth acknowledging. That arrogance, that composure—it drove Zoe mad.She wanted to crush Ivy.But Zoe wasn’t the type to lose control in anger and act recklessly. She knew that if you wanted to destroy someone, the best way wasn’t to confront them head-on, but to quietly dismantle everything they had, ensuring that by the time they realized it, it would already be too late.With her family’s influence, securing a position in Ryan’s company wasn’t difficult. The perfect excuse? A wealthy heiress eager to gain business experience and train herself to take over the family empire. Who could refuse such a reasonable request? Certainly not Ryan, especially since his father
