"No, Father. I will change that myself," he finally declared with firm determination, lifting his head high to meet his father's gaze. "Until now, I have always followed your guidance and direction, but that ends now. From this moment on, I will live my own life." It was a tense battle of wits, with neither conceding to the other. For the first time, Mr. Evans witnessed Luke's absolute determination and unwavering resolve. Mr. Evans wondered what had caused Luke to become like this. Then he chuckled, perhaps? He suddenly remembered the remarkable girl tonight, Ivy, who had indeed gained the favor of many, including Luke's father. Mr. Evans was truly curious to know more about their relationship, but now was not the time. Instead, Mr. Evans probed about Luke's audacious plan. "It seems you've made preparations. Any regrets?" Mr. Evans inquired. "None," Luke affirmed confidently. "Absolutely none." Leaning back in his chair, his father appeared contemplative. "Tell me about your p

At that moment, there were only two people left in the room, and the young woman displayed profound disappointment. She had to let out her frustration, so she didn't hesitate to voice her objections and argue with Luke, disregarding what might be improper or whether she should or shouldn't do it, despite her prestigious background. "Luke," Mariko called out. "Why did you treat me like that in front of everyone? Do you know how embarrassed I felt? It's humiliating for someone of my status to be humiliated like that." “If you dare to do something, you dare to bear the consequences. Why turn around and blame me?" Luke responded calmly and frankly. "Luke," she protested indignantly. "When I speak kindly, you should know how to control yourself," he lectured sternly. "You crossed the line I allowed. The punishment is justified." "But I didn't do anything excessive!" the girl argued. "I just..." "Are you not listening to me?" He cut her off. "I said there is no relationship between us

Returning to the main issue, which is more important, how does Ivy's scandal relate to Ryan's company? Of course, it does. In the post, there's a very concerning detail. Ivy allegedly got hired at the company by sleeping with Ryan, the CEO. This rumor tarnished his reputation and devalued the company. However, it seems that Ryan hasn't noticed that detail yet, prompting the lawyer to remind him. "Do you notice the detail that connects to you?" the lawyer asked. "What is it?" He feigned innocence. Was he kidding? If he pretended to be naive, he better watch out for Mason. Stirring up trouble unnecessarily amidst a crisis. Disappointed by his boss's blank expression and attentive waiting, Mason silently thought, Sometimes Ryan's mind doesn't function optimally. Understandably, he had to deal with a lot as the boss. "What's wrong? It looks serious, isn't it?" Seeing his friend unnaturally silent, Ryan anxiously pressed for an answer, guessing the scale of the situation. "There's a

After a period of tense and exhausting contemplation, when she had come to a decisive decision, she felt she needed rest to treat herself to a bit of relaxation. Most importantly, Ivy, despite facing difficulties and seriousness, never skipped her lunch. Therefore, she didn't hesitate to stroll downstairs for a meal. It was no surprise that when most people in the company, including building staff, saw Ivy appear at the restaurant on the ground floor, they made snide remarks, showing disgust. Even the person behind the counter openly treated Ivy unfairly when trying to order food. They deliberately took the leftovers from the pot instead of giving her delicious food like everyone else. Today, Ivy had forgotten to pack her bento, which is why she had to eat here, or else she wouldn't have become the focus of public attention.Honestly, it was utterly boring. But she just shrugged it off. She was not going to get angry with these foolish people.After picking up her meal, Ivy glanced ar

After witnessing the entire conversation between Mason and Ivy, Ryan had some related reflections. Assuming Ivy had succeeded in clearing her name in front of everyone in the company, however, in the end, public opinion still held the greatest sway, causing him to lose his direction. Unlike Mason, who easily brushed off everything, showing no interest or curiosity, he reached the point of itching to update himself on the latest news about Ivy's scandal. Ryan was completely the opposite; he found himself intrigued by the developments in the situation. He couldn't explain why he had become like this. He only knew it had something to do with Ivy that he couldn't ignore. However, what's noteworthy is that after knowing, instead of thinking wisely, he let himself be swept away by the current. Ryan admitted he was someone who found it very hard to trust others, especially women. Therefore, despite the wise saying that "words are wind," he still had negative thoughts about her. It was all ju
