That woman was named Lisa Smith, about the same age as Whitney, and was the daughter of a
commoner.
William initially believed he would be single for the rest of his life and live with his daughter, Whitney,
until he met Lisa.
Back then, Lisa worked as a waitress in an upscale restaurant and ran into some issues when serving
customers.
William was there and noticed Lisa’s face flushed, panicking.
At that time, he helped her simply because he saw that this girl had been wronged, and she reminded
him of his daughter since they were almost the same age.
Lisa was very grateful to him, who was approximately the same age as her father.
After getting along with William, she saw his honesty and understood his regret.
Lisa felt secure when she was with William.
On the other hand, William had nothing to do, so he paid extra attention to Lisa.
Over time, they fell in love with each other.
Lisa happily agreed to marry William and volunteered to have a son with him.
With that, William could no longer remain calm since he had also grown in love with Lisa through their
interactions.
However, there was a big gap in their age and status.
Both William and Lisa’s families were against it.
Whitney couldn’t take the news that William was getting remarried, believing that the coquettish woman
had bewitched him.
However, regardless of what she said, William appeared to be a different person.
He was no longer as protective and loving as he used to be toward her.
As a result, Whitney’s prejudice against Lisa grew deeper, particularly after Lisa gave.
to a son for William.
She was certain Lisa was a cu nning b itch and a barbarian seeking to split the family
property.
Whitney declined to return home after a year at Norham, despite Yandel’s promise to William to send
her back.
She didn’t want to face a stepmother similar to her age. Moreover, her relationship with William was
also worsening.
She chose to remain in Norham for another reason. She had fallen in love with a man. by this point.
That man was Charlie.
Ivy knew all about Whitney and her family after their occasional meetings.
When Ivy came to visit, Whitney was slightly flattered and smiled, saying, “You should have told me in
advance. My house is in a mess now.”
Ivy grinned and replied, “It doesn’t matter since we know each other well.”
Ivy always claimed that they were best friends.
Whitney’s house, on the other hand, was disorganized, indicating that she struggled to care for herself.
Ivy took the opportunity and said, “You’re the second daughter of Larson Corporation. Why bother
making your life so hard?”
Whitney’s stay in Norham was pointless for Ivy. The latter intended to place a pawn around Kimberly.
Whitney became depressed when the subject of returning to Dellmoor came up, saying. “I can’t wash
the dirty linen in public. You weren’t unaware of my familial situation.”
Ivy had no interest in Whitney’s family affairs. She had always seen Whitney as a pawn.
“That boy is just a kid. There’s no way you should be scared of him. And your stepmother is just an
uneducated country bumpkin. She’s not a threat to you,” Ivy reassured Whitney.
She then changed the topic, continuing, “However, you have to protect what belongs to
you.
Ivy added vividly, “You should return to Dellmoor. You need to broaden your vision. and strengthen your
position.”
Whitney was a little confused.
Ivy accurately caught the bewilderment in Whitney’s eyes.
She took advantage of the situation and went on, “Your opponent has always been. Kimberly, not Lisa
and her son.”
To be honest, Whitney wanted to compete with Kimberly after Kimberly’s return, as she wasn’t
convinced of Kimberly’s CEO position.
After a series of circumstances, she changed her mind. Yet, what Ivy said made sense.
Ivy hesitated but ultimately chose to tell Whitney about Kimberly’s involvement with Christopher.
In this way, their friendship would be strengthened even more due to having the same goal.
Ivy said solemnly. “Kimberly is someone we shouldn’t take lightly. Especially these days, she’s even
involved in Levine Group.”
Whitney was stunned, her eyes widened.
She mused, ‘What a surprise. I didn’t expect Kimberly to be Katherine, Christopher’s wife.
However, she felt jealous as well, thinking. ‘Da mn. What gives her such good fortune?”
Whitney had not returned to Dellmoor much in recent years but had heard that Kimberly had given birth
to triplets.
As Whitney came to a realization, she asked, “Does that mean the triplets Kimberly had are
Christopher’s?”
Although Ivy wouldn’t acknowledge it, it was a fact.
She nodded.
With Ivy’s response, Whitney felt under pressure, thinking she was not in a favorable situation
Kimberly was hard enough to cope with. With the addition of Christopher, Whitney felt even more
hopeless in taking over Larson Corporation.
Whitney slumped on the couch in despair. Indeed, Christopher was the most challenging opponent to Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
her.
On second thought, Whitney asked curiously, “What’s going on? Aren’t you and Christopher the perfect
couple?”
Ivy felt bitter at Whitney’s question.
She mused, ‘Indeed, we are. Many people at Levine Group and Norham believed Christopher and I
were meant to be together. But everything is gone now. Because of Kimberly, everyone finds me a joke
now!
Over the years, Ivy had accompanied Christopher to a variety of social events.
She had grown accustomed to it and even imagined that one day, she might become his formal
partner.
However, Ivy had never anticipated Kimberly to appear out of nowhere.
She wasn’t reconciled because she had set herself and Christopher up. She spent the first half of her
life in the scheme.
However, her hopes had evaporated.
Ivy didn’t want to mask her hostility at Kimberly anymore. She said, “It was all due to that woman who
has appeared unexpectedly. I had hoped to marry into the Levine family.”
As she spoke, she gritted her teeth, causing a loud noise.
Looking at Ivy’s ferocious expression, Whitney felt her heart sk ipped a beat from shock.
“We’re in the same boat. That woman shattered our initial lovely life,” Ivy uttered.
Her words resonated with Whitney. Before Kimberly returned. Whitney was the only daughter of Larson
Corporation, and William was the CEO.
However, after Kimberly returned, all of her beautiful moments were replaced.
Observing Whitney’s emotional change, Ivy knew that she had achieved her mission. that day.
Ivy could foretell Whitney’s return to Dellmoor. Whitney’s ability, however limited, may at least help her
detest Kimberly and disrupt the latter’s plan.
