Chapter 3132
Ivy noticed that he was hesitating and took the form back. "Why don't I send it to her? I have her number." "Ivy, why are you helping me?" "Because I'm your employee, of course!" Lucas was more casual and bold after drinking and said, "Why won't you tell me the truth? I have my own judgment. Don't take me for a fool!" Ivy batted her eyes innocently. "Mr. Woods, are you drunk? Should I go make you some tea?" Lucas pinched the bridge of his nose. His senses were intact, but he did feel slightly dizzy so he did not stop her from making tea. Carrying the form, Ivy picked up Lucas' teacup and made her way to the refreshment area. She brewed a cup of herbal tea and then took out her phone to snap photos of the form, sending them directly to her brother. Hayden was familiar with her handwriting, so, even if she sent the pictures to Missy, her brother would eventually realize that it had been her who had filled out the form. Thinking that her brother's actions were going too fa

Staring intently at him, Ivy murmured, "Lucas, it's me, Irene! Can't you recognize me? Is it really that hard? Even though my face has changed, my personality hasn't! Who else would be so nice to you?" Ivy sighed involuntarily. At the same time, a knock sounded from behind her. Ivy immediately turned and was startled to see Caspian standing at the door. Quickly, Ivy walked to the door, pulled Caspian outside, and closed it behind them. "Caspian, how did you sneak up on me like that?" "I wasn't sneaking up on you. You were just so engrossed with staring at Lucas that you didn't hear me." Caspian said with a laugh, "Ivy, is Lucas really that handsome? You are head over heels for him. I don't think he's much better than me. Why don't girls chase after me?" Ivy stared at Caspian for a moment, then teased, "Lucas is more handsome than you." "I'm taller than him!" "Are you? I feel like you two are about the same height!" "Being taller by one centimeter still counts as being

Ivy took out another piece of cake and took a bite out of it. "He knows that I like him. I made it quite obvious." Lucas' mother chuckled. "And how did he respond?" "I'm from Aryadelle. It's quite far from Taronia," Ivy said. Lucas' mother instantly froze as she understood the implications of Ivy's words. "Are you saying you wouldn't be able to marry and move here?" Ivy nodded. "My parents wouldn't let me marry here, and I don't want to leave them. They treat me really well." Lucas' mother nodded in understanding "I can see that. You're always smiling, have a good personality, and it's clear that you come from a happy family." Ivy affirmed her assumptions: "Yes. My parents weren't very keen on letting me come here, but I insisted. They didn't stop me, but they would absolutely not allow me to settle down here." "If you're doing well in Aryadelle, there's no point in settling down in Taronia. Even though I haven't been abroad, I know that Aryadelle is quite developed." Luc

"No need for you to come personally. I'll have it sent to your hotel. Just come down to pick it up when it arrives." Ivy was somewhat taken aback by his kindness. "Boss, you're suddenly being so nice to me. I'm a bit unused to it. It feels like a dream. You've only treated me this well in dreams." Lucas couldn't help but give a dry chuckle in response to her words. "I don't recall bullying you?" From Lucas' perspective, he had treated Ivy quite well. Ivy blushed as she explained, "You haven't bullied me, but you also haven't treated me so nicely. You're taking the initiative to give me a gift... I'm really moved." A faint flush crept up Lucas' cheeks. "Didn't you say you'd bring back mooncakes from your country for me?" He couldn't just accept a gift without giving one in return, right? Ivy responded, "I haven't brought the mooncakes yet!" Lucas said, "Since that's the case, when you bring me the mooncakes, I'll give you the gift." Ivy immediately countered, "No way! Sinc

Ivy glanced at the receptionist and said, "My friend's name is Lucas Woods." The receptionist immediately handed the package to Ivy. She took the box and walked toward the hotel entrance. "Has Lucas realized who I am? Why else would he give me my grandmother's bracelet?" she thought. Outside the hotel, rain poured steadily and cars rushed along the street, but Ivy's heart was peaceful. Holding the package, she headed for the elevator. Back in her room, Ivy opened the box and carefully examined the bracelet that contained all her childhood memories. Upon returning home, Lucas unlocked his phone but found no messages or calls from Ivy. She must have received the gift, and he wondered how she was feeling at the moment. He suspected that Ivy was Irene, but he lacked the courage to confront her directly. In fact, he had already asked Ivy this question before, and she had denied it. Lucas was a sensitive person. He knew Ivy had settled in Aryadelle with a loving and wealthy

This was the first time Archer had seen Ivy so angry, and he immediately apologized. "I'm sorry. I didn't know it was that important." Ivy calmed down and explained, "This bracelet was given to me by the old lady who raised me." "I see. Why would Lucas have your grandma's possession, though?" "I used to owe someone a big sum of money, and they took this bracelet from me as insurance. Lucas repurchased it from them." Realization dawned on Archer. "I see! It's no wonder you like him so much!" "I used to look hideous and had no friends at all. Not only was he not disgusted by me, but he was also kind. My parents and siblings all want to test him, but, to me, he passed all the tests when we first met." "That's in the past. You've been out of touch with him for the past three years, and you don't know if he's changed," Archer said. "Of course, he hasn't changed. If he had become a bad person, he wouldn't have managed to open his own firm." "Tell your parents that, then. In a

Layla could not help but chuckle. "You've praised him so much that there's nothing left for us to say. We haven't met him, so we don't know if he's really as nice as you say." "He really is a great guy. I wouldn't lie to you," Ivy said, blushing. "Sweetie, I know you're not lying, but when people are in love, they're prone to idealizing the person they are in love with; it's normal to think with your heart rather than your head," Avery explained. "Are you planning to return to Taronia later on?" Ivy nodded. "I promised to bring him a gift. I can't go back on my word." "When do you plan on telling him?" "Telling him how I feel, you mean?" Ivy asked. Avery clarified, "I mean, when are you going to tell him who you really are? You can't keep things this way forever, can you? I've noticed that the two of you haven't made much progress even after all these days in Taronia. Dragging it out like this isn't productive." "But Hayden is still testing him, right? I can't reveal my i

"Mr. Woods, I will be the person in charge of all communication from now on," the man said. "You can call me Anson." "You are older than me, right?" Lucas asked. "I'm twenty-five this year." "I'm twenty-three," Lucas said. Anson chuckled. "All right. You can call me Mr. Orpwood, then. I'll stay here for half a year and leave after that." "I'm sorry, but I haven't decided if I want to accept this investment." Anson froze. "This is a lot of money, and you are unsure if you want it?" He had never met anyone who would refuse money. "I never thought your boss would invest so much in my company." Lucas put down the contract. "I haven't met your boss in person, so I don't understand why he trusts me so much." Anson smiled. "To ordinary people, this is indeed a significant amount of money, but this is nothing from my boss's perspective. Don't overthink it." "There are other shareholders in my company, so it's not just up to me," Lucas countered. "You mean Caspian? When he
