Chapter 801 Retching Her Guts Out
Ivanna, quickly slid on the couch, using my lap as a makeshift pillow. She seemed utterly exhausted, not caring about the unfamiliar surroundings.With a sigh, she began, "I have a servant's fate. I was born to endure hardship. Recently, everything became a mess. I’m always dealing with people, it's truly exhausting. I've had enough."She looked at me with a pitiful expression."This time, I finally had a chance to do a program properly. I’m thinking of making a notable achievement and laying the foundation for a promotion. Unexpectedly, troubles kept arising from the moment I took charge. It's not just tiring, it's downright scary. Can you believe it?"I chuckled and teased her, "Why are you scared? Let's switch places, and you can dangle from the rooftop for an interview. How about that?" Recalling the situation from before, I still felt a lingering fear. I could almost sense Atlas’s hands gripping my ankle with a hint of helplessness."By the way, I haven't had a chance to ask
Chapter 802 Who Are They?
I rinsed my face quickly and followed her back to the office.She had already picked up her spoon and was enjoying her meal. Watching her eat so heartily, my lingering doubts disappeared.I couldn't help but comment, "Take it easy, no one is competing with you. Look at the way you're eating. It's not attractive at all. Do you devour your food like this in front of Jared?"She glanced at me, "What's the fuss? You don't know how hungry I've been. Besides, whether he's here or not, I eat like this.”She continued to stuff her mouth while talking.Seeing her wolf down her food, I felt genuinely sorry for her. I changed my tone to a gentler one, "You really need someone to take good care of you."I remembered Jared and Trinity, recalling what Anson had said to me. I felt he was trying to convey something to me.And from the way he valued Jared, it seemed the Huffman family wouldn't easily let go of him. After all, Jared had long been the preferred candidate for the Huffman family's s
Chapter 803 Emotional
Ivanna spoke while setting down her spoon. She had eaten a lot, and her face seemed to have gained a healthy flush."She's in Foswood now?" I said casually, not paying much attention to Kimberly.After finishing her meal, Ivanna comfortably laid down on the sofa. "Oh. When can I have lots of money, do nothing, and wait for good food and drink to fall from the sky? That would be so nice."I looked at her lazy posture and chuckled sarcastically, "Haha... living off others and waiting to die, isn't that against your character?"She chuckled as well, "People are fickle.""If you want this kind of life, it's simple. Forget about your so-called ideals and aspirations, marry Jared, and be a full-time housewife. Then you can lie down and wait for things to fall from the sky.”My words were meant to be a playful joke, but I noticed she fell silent as soon as I said them. I stared at her face and asked, "What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?"She sighed bitterly and softly said, "
Chapter 804 Mental Preparation
She glanced at me. "I don't feel like I'm above her. But every time it involves Trinity, I become secondary."Like this time, he promised to accompany me to Bourdamun... but Trinity had something come up, and she disappeared entirely. I get it. The matter is crucial, involving life and death. But is it too much to call and inform me?” She suddenly sat up, looking at me as if seeking an explanation.I felt that Jared did indeed go too far this time. Regardless of the urgency, he should have informed Ivanna before leaving."Even if it's a waste of time, can't he spare this bit of time for me?" Ivanna then suddenly sighed in despair. "But no, he hasn't given me any notice, and he even started playing the disappearing act.“Does he really care about me? What if something happened to me? If I'm in danger now, who do I contact?”Ivanna's words left me feeling a sense of helplessness. I completely understood Ivanna's point. As a lover, Jared's actions were indeed a bit too much.At th
Chapter 805 Shares Transfer Agreement
I softly comforted her, "Wait for him to finish his tasks, and then let him give you a proper explanation. There's no way for you to contact him right now, so being angry only affects you."You're not a child. Be calm, since you're prepared not to rely entirely on him. Don't make yourself look lost. Even in deep love, learning to be independent is a wise approach. That's what you advised me back then.”"Heh... I underestimated you. I forgot how you felt when you first discovered Matthew’s affair," she teased me, "Feeling ignored is terrible. Chlo, I'm a bit tired. I can't understand him. It's exhausting."Her words were undoubtedly her true feelings. Jared was indeed a person not easily understood.With her head drooping, she sighed, "I'm going. I want to go home and sleep. This damn job is truly inhumane."After saying that, she stood up and fixed her hair, still tired."Well, you go back and rest. What do you want to eat tonight?" I observed her, knowing she was in a bad mood
Chapter 806 Worthless
My words were sharp, and I knew it. But I intentionally chose to speak this way."I really want to transfer those shares to you, Ms. Chloe. After all, moving forward, I hope to have a long-term partnership with Tanum. I've carefully weighed the pros and cons, and Tanum is more than capable of meeting my requirements. So, I find that my previous blind investment was quite naive.""There's no need for me to correct your mistake," I said bluntly."I don't want you to do that. But I think you’ll have some ideas for Ardora." Melvern was trying to convince me.Who did he think he was? Did he think I was a fool he could manipulate at will? Even if I were interested in Ardora, this wouldn't be how I acquired it.Ridiculous! What was he thinking?"I don't know what you’re thinking, but I know myself! I believe you also know I've never been interested in anything that belongs to someone else, especially Ardora. I don’t intend to work with Liora.”I spoke candidly, "It seems as though ther
Chapter 807 No Mercy
He walked in and said, “Chlo…”He paused, noticing the guest in my office, but then continued walking in.Melvern, who was seated on the sofa, glanced at him, smiling as he spoke, "So it's you, Mr. Arnold. Long time no see."Arnold looked at him and smiled back. "Mr. Melvern! It's been a while. You're still alive?"It was clear that they were very familiar with each other.Arnold, with his usual lack of formality, asked Melvern, "What are you doing here?""I came to talk to Ms. Chloe about something," Melvern replied, maintaining a polite demeanor and shifting in his seat.Arnold walked over confidently and took a seat on the sofa. He looked at Melvern and asked, "What business do you have with my sister? She's engaged in legitimate business, and you’re a person of questionable integrity. What legitimate business could you discuss? Stop messing around."I almost laughed when I heard what Arnold said. It looked like my younger brother was the true expert in straight talking."D
Chapter 808 Dirty Tricks
Melvern looked at me delightedly. "Yes, Ms. Chloe?”I stood up, picked up the document bag he had brought, and handed it to him. "You forgot this, Mr. Melvern.""I don’t need that. Those are copies. You can keep them. If you need anything, please let me know." Melvern smiled at me."It’s fine. I'll just contact you if I need something.”"Alright then." Melvern took the document bag helplessly. "I'll take my leave now."He then walked decisively toward the exit, and I saw him to the door, instructing Carol to escort him out.Carol nodded and followed Melvern while I returned to my office.Arnold looked at me and asked, "What did he come here to discuss?""Ardora’s equity. He wanted to transfer the shares to me, but I declined," I said casually. "I really don't like him. He left thanks to you."As I finished speaking, Carol knocked on the door and walked in holding a familiar document bag.“Mr. Melvern just gave this to me again, Chloe. He said you should keep it. He thinks you
