Lisa’s eyes flashed with a trace of worry.
However, she was grateful for the life she had now.
Lisa forced a smile, nodded to William, and took over her chubby son.
William stared at his hand holding his son in a daze.
Ivy heard about Whitney’s return.
She took a wine glass from the wine rack and poured herself a glass of red wine.
Her slender wrist naturally swayed a few times, and the red liquid in the glass swirled back and forth.
She smiled and took a small sip of red wine, as if she were a noble queen.
The three-day consideration period given by Ethan was about to expire.
It was a temporary measure when she proposed three days for consideration.
Ivy mostly made decisions about her own matters.
She found the business card, picked up her phone, and called Ethan. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Ivy said, “I can agree to your request, but I have a few conditions.”
On the other end of the phone, Ethan paused for a moment. Surprise flashed in his
eyes.
He thought, ‘This woman is really different. No one has ever dared to bargain with me. She’s the first.”
He was curious about what conditions she would make.
Ethan said coldly, “Tell me.”
In fact, Ivy was also taking a gamble. She didn’t know what kind of person Ethan was.
However, she didn’t want to be merely an appendage.
Although things felt like they were at one’s wits’ end, it might be a light at the end of the tunnel.
Ethan was the one who could pull her out of the dead end.

Ivy said cu nningly, “I want you to help me get someone back from Alendor.”
Ethan heard Ivy’s first condition. Although he didn’t know the relationship between Ivy and the woman
called Kiara As sheton, he agreed with her.
He knew the farm. It was a secret base of the Levine family.
It wasn’t an easy task to bring a woman back from there.
However, if he didn’t agree to her first condition, it would seem like his sincerity wasn’t enough.
“I don’t want to change my current life.” This was Ivy’s second condition.
Ethan frowned and asked, “You want to be a secret lover?”
He was right.
Ivy used her eloquence and charm to persuade Ethan.
The two of them came to an agreement.
Larson Corporation and MacQuoid Group were now strategic partners. There would be
many communication and meetings between the two companies in the future.
Originally, Kimberly wanted to let Frederick handle this part of the work.
However, MacQuoid Group asked Kimberly to do it in person.
To show sincerity in cooperation, Kimberly agreed.
This way, her working state would undergo earth-shattering changes.
Fortunately, Dexter, Sebastian, and Candice had grown up. They were very independent, and Kimberly
didn’t need to worry too much about them.
She was good at running a business.
She was also good at raising kids.
In her opinion, being poor and rich wasn’t that important.
The key was to make those kids independent and self-reliant, just like an eagle mom teaching her
eaglets how to fly.
When they fell in love with flying, they would pursue their own vast world.
It was the same with the three little ones. When they felt the significance of hard work and the sense of
achievement from realizing their values, they would learn how to be independent and self-reliant.
“Mommy, are you going on a business trip again?” The three little cuties pouted and asked Kimberly
with their big eyes blinking.
Obviously, they had accepted the fact that Kimberly would always be on a business trip.
Kimberly smiled, revealing a charming dimple to the left.
She said softly, “Yeah. I’m going to attend a great business exchange in Radford.”
She was afraid that the children wouldn’t understand, so she added, “I’m going to learn new knowledge
and skills.”
The three little ones nodded, as if they understood something.
Kimberly originally planned to bring Frederick along to Radford, but due to scheduling conflicts, she
decided to bring Genevieve with her.
Kimberly arrived at the Dellmoor Airport in a blue suit with light makeup. She wore at pair of diamond
earrings and nude heels.
With a pair of black sunglasses, she pushed her suitcase and walked toward the VIP lounge.
Genevieve followed aside and couldn’t keep up with Kimberly.
She glanced down at Kimberly’s high heels and exclaimed in her heart, ‘Oh my goodness! They’re so
high, but she can walk so fast as if she’s wearing sneakers.
She couldn’t help but admire.
It seemed she would have to practice dressing like Kimberly after going back. Her daily attire was
mostly casual.
She trotted after Kimberly.
She secretly felt fortunate in her heart that Kimberly was her boss.
She had no experience with business trips, and this was probably her second time on an
airplane.
Kimberly treated Genevieve as a friend and handled things personally. Otherwise, no one would know
how many awkward situations might arise.
Kimberly paused and turned around. She saw the sweat dripping from Genevieve’s

forehead.
She smiled warmly and said, “Feeling a little uncomfortable, right? That’s what a business trip is like.
The pace is very fast. You’ll get used to it in the future.”
Genevieve’s heart ski pped a beat, thinking, Am I going to keep flying in the future?’
Kimberly entered the VIP lounge, found a seat, and sat down.
Kimberly took out her tablet to read the information Frederick had prepared in advance.
At that moment, a tall, handsome, and elegant man with a suitcase stopped beside Kimberly.
A gentle voice sounded. “Miss, can I sit here?”
Gerald pointed to the empty seat beside Kimberly.
Kimberly was focused on reading, so Genevieve gently nudged the former to notify her.
Kimberly raised her eyes and was surprised when she found that it was Gerald.
She smiled and pointed to the seat, saying, “Of course. Please sit.”
Genevieve’s heart raced.
Gerald was too good-looking. He should be the most handsome man she had ever seen.
There was no one else.
Gerald glanced at Kimberly’s tablet and thought, ‘She is really hardworking!
Kimberly felt that someone was staring at her. She looked up, meeting Gerald’s eyes.
Kimberly asked awkwardly, “Where is Mr. Patterson going?”
“Radford!” Gerald continued, “We’ll probably go to the same place.”
Kimberly nodded and turned to her tablet..
Gerald saw that she was uninterested in engaging with him, so he took the initiative to discuss with
Kimberly what she was reading.
Unexpectedly, Kimberly was indeed interested.
It was too boring to read theories. In addition, Gerald’s ideas were novel and unique.
A word from the wise was worth ten books.
Kimberly’s doubts just now were solved at once, and it even made her thinking diverge
into multiple dimensions.
Kimberly was impressed by Gerald.
