Mr. Mysterious's Spontaneous Bride
Andy said he wanted to punish Kevin, and he wasn't just talking. As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Jim began to work diligently, understanding the message implicitly. First, he cut off communication with the Alter Group, catching them off guard. When representatives from the Alter Group inquired, Uncle Jim was blunt, "Your chairman and CEO have offended our old master's beloved. Do you still want to cooperate with us?" "Beloved?" The public relations team from the Alter Group looked puzzled. When did Andy find a girlfriend? Didn't he say he would never marry and was still infatuated with his runaway ex-wife? How come? While the public relations team urgently searched for news about Andy's romantic life, Uncle Jim continued, "Just wait; H Capital will soon cooperate with DT Investment to crush you!" As he hung up the call with a smug expression, he turned back to the hospital room. Their boss was fondly watching his granddaughter, and the more he watched, the more he liked. "If you like it, Grandpa will have you transferred to the top hospital in City S. Don't stay in that little clinic..." "No need, Grandpa!" Ivy quickly declined. She was used to making her own way and didn't like using such backdoor methods. "Grandpa, I prefer to pursue my career on my own terms. Anyway, the incident from three years ago was entirely my fault, and I should accept the consequences. Besides..." She paused, thinking about the collaboration with DT Investment and Shawn's surgery. "DT Investment has already invested in our clinic. If County Clinic can develop successfully, it will benefit the residents of County A. Moreover, there's also Shawn's surgery... If Grandpa really wants to help, maybe you can assist with Shawn's second surgery." "That's not a problem. I'll have Uncle Jim contact the people from Ordinary Clinic, invest as needed, and buy what's necessary. Grandpa will provide the funds," Andy said confidently, but then something struck him as odd. "Shawn's surgery? What's going on?" Ivy hesitated, then explained Shawn's situation in detail, and Andy became increasingly uneasy as he listened. "You said he's in a wheelchair?" He looked at Ivy, seeking confirmation. "Yes, it's been over a decade now, so surgery is complicated. It will take some effort." Andy had a foreboding feeling deep inside. He tightly grasped Ivy's wrist. "This doesn't sound right. Tell me more. His name is Shawn Dyxon Tate, not Cato Alter, right?" Uncle Jim also began to sense something amiss. "Miss, have you met his colleague?" Ivy nodded. "I met one of his colleagues, his name is Luke, but I don’t know his last name." Andy's heart sank. "Shawn has a close friend, also a good friend of Cato Alter's, named Jasson Brown, a lawyer," Ivy added. Andy let out a long sigh, his face turning pale. "Grandpa, what's wrong? Are you not feeling well?" Ivy noticed his unusual expression and instinctively reached out to hold his hand. Andy shook his head. "It's nothing, Ivy. Grandpa suddenly craved some fruits. Can you go to the supermarket and buy some for me? I want you to pick them out." Ivy, without suspicion, immediately got up, gave some instructions to Uncle Jim, and left. As soon as Ivy left the room, Andy's face darkened, and he looked around as if searching for something to vent his anger. Finally, he picked up a pillow and threw it. "I'm so angry! That dog, Cato Alter!" Uncle Jim carefully picked up the pillow and handed it back to Andy. "Sir, could there be a misunderstanding here?" "A misunderstanding?" Andy narrowed his eyes. "Outsiders may not know what Bob Alter's done to his ex-wife, but do you think I'm ignorant? Cato Alter's mother’s last name is Tate!" As the conversation unfolded, Andy slapped his forehead. "I can't believe it! I was afraid of this, and it happened! This is a disaster!" Uncle Jim also felt helpless. "Sir, it seems that Miss Ivy is unaware of this situation." "How dare that wretched man let Ivy know about this?!" Andy's face turned red with anger. "It's clear that Ivy is hostile and cautious towards Cato Alter, just like me. If he dares to reveal his identity, Ivy will divorce him right away!" Seeing that his master was still upset, Uncle Jim made a lighthearted suggestion. "Sir, isn't this convenient? If Miss Ivy divorces him, she can marry our young master--Dom. Isn't this a perfect opportunity? Our young master is exceptionally talented and of impeccable character, making him an excellent choice for your granddaughter's husband!" "Hmph!" Andy snorted and thought of his grandson, Dom Livingston. "That brat has impeccable character, but he doesn't consider himself a member of the Livingston family. He's always thinking about returning the company to me. What's the use of that? Other people's children are eager to inherit the family business, become the boss, but he wants to be an employee!" Andy didn't directly address Uncle Jim's words. If Ivy were currently single, he would certainly play matchmaker. However, now that Ivy was married and the other party was Cato Alter... well, that was a different story. After venting for a while, Andy asked Uncle Jim for his phone. Without hesitation, he called Cato Alter. However, the call was disconnected after three rings. Andy couldn't believe it and tried several more times, each ending with the call being cut off. Very well! He opened chatbox and sent several voice messages. "Shawn Dyxon Tate! You dare to take my granddaughter and can't even answer my calls?" "Wait for it! If you dare deceive Ivy like this, I'll immediately persuade her to divorce you and marry my grandson! I'm telling you, Shawn, my grandson is far more outstanding than you!" Just as Andy's voice messages were sent, it took less than three seconds for Shawn to call him. Andy proudly displayed his phone to Uncle Jim with a look that said, "See, I knew he'd be scared." Then he leisurely answered the call. If Andy had been humble when he previously asked for help in finding his daughter and granddaughter, he had now changed the tune and taken control. He had ascended to a dominant position. The fact that Shawn called him in such a short time demonstrated how seriously he regarded his relationship with Ivy. And it was important to be taken seriously. With this in mind, Andy cleared his throat and began issuing orders as an authority figure. "Now, you will tell me everything about your relationship with my Ivy, or else, I won't spare you!" On the other end of the phone, Shawn hesitated to speak. He furrowed his brow, and although he was full of dissatisfaction and emotions welled up in his throat, he swallowed them down. He was Ivy's grandfather, and he was also his grandfather. He deserved respect. So, he obediently explained everything, concluding with, "I concealed my identity due to a misunderstanding, not out of intent. I've been wanting to explain things to Ivy multiple times, but I missed the right moment. I ask for your forgiveness, Sir."Andy snorted and asked, "So, when do you plan to confess your true identity to her?" "I'm looking for the right opportunity. I will do it as soon as possible." "Hmph! You can continue to procrastinate!" Andy rolled his eyes. "Shawn, don't blame me for warning you. I have another grandson, Dom Livingston. He has been regretful all these years for not being the true heir of the Livingston family. If I matchmake Ivy..." "No, you can't!" Shawn immediately interrupted before Andy could finish. "Are you daring to shout at me?" "I dare not." Shawn paused and suppressed his frustration. "I will confess to Ivy as soon as possible. Please give me some time, Sir." "Of course, I will give you time." Andy chuckled maliciously. "I'll pretend not to know anything, and see if Ivy will still acknowledge you. Don't blame me for not reminding you. If Ivy decides to divorce you in anger, I will definitely matchmake her with Dom." Shawn: ... He forcibly held back the irritation inside him and replied, "I won't give you that chance." "Hmph! We'll see!" When the confrontation didn't go in his favor, Andy's temper flared, and he hung up the phone angrily. "Why can't he just coax me?" Handing the phone back to Uncle Jim, Andy complained, "I'm an old man and his grandfather! He doesn't respect me at all!" Uncle Jim raised an eyebrow and outwardly agreed while secretly thinking, ‘Sir, it was you who was being unreasonable, wasn't it? Cato Alter is resolute and decisive in the outside world. Who would dare to provoke him? Isn't him trying to appease you because you're his grandfather?’ Though Uncle Jim thought this, he didn't dare to say it out loud. Coincidentally, Ivy returned after buying the fruits. Uncle Jim quickly took the fruits from her. He signaled to Ivy to comfort her grandfather while he went to wash the fruits. Ivy saw her grandfather fuming and asked in confusion, "I was only gone for less than ten minutes. Who upset Grandpa?" "Your husband!" Andy said irritably. "Shawn?" Ivy instinctively looked around. "When did he come?"***
