Ivy was momentarily surprised, and was about to say something when she heard Lilith say, "Kevin is back in the country too. He messaged me last night to inquire about you." "Oh," Ivy responded in a nonchalant tone, showing little reaction. Her principle in life was always to look forward and never look back. Seeing Ivy hanging her head and not saying anything, Lilith thought she might be feeling sentimental. She advised, "Ivy, you can't give up on yourself. Marriage is not child's play. I know the situation with you and Kevin has..." "Lilith!" Ivy was rendered speechless by Lilith's imagination and said seriously, "My decision to marry Shawn was made after careful consideration." Lilith exclaimed, "Less than the time for a cup of coffee and you went to get married? Is that what you call careful consideration?!" Ivy gently soothed her as she raised her furrowed brows, "I swear, it wasn't a spur of the moment decision. After being friends for so many years, don't you know what kind of person I am?" Lilith threw a heavy punch into a pile of cotton, and it was soft and there was nowhere to vent. She wanted to scold her but couldn't bring herself to, so she decided to turn on the office TV and started watching. "No, I need to meet that Mr. Shawn whatever his name is. I must keep an eye on him for you! If I find that this guy with the first name Shawn is not a good person, you'll divorce him immediately." She muttered to herself with her back to Ivy. Darn it, she regretted going to study in the United States. If she had stayed in England, her Ivy wouldn't have married a man who lived off of her so hastily. Seeing Lilith still didn't believe her, Ivy could only reluctantly agree, "Alright, I'll arrange for you to meet him." Lilith finally snorted and reluctantly let her off the hook. ‘Today is the anniversary of the Alter Group shareholders' meeting, and it is rumored that Chairman Alter and his late wife's eldest son, Cato Alter, will also attend the board meeting.’ The TV host's voice caught the attention of the two, and when they turned around, they saw that the TV news was broadcasting live from the Alter Group headquarters building. Lilith was worried that watching these scenes might make Ivy remember the events of three years ago and wanted to turn off the TV, but Ivy stopped her. The mention of Cato Alter, who the host had just mentioned, piqued her interest.Cato Alter was a legendary figure in both the medical and investment industries. His name was almost synonymous with the entire medical industry in their city. He had founded the DT Investment Group singlehandedly and managed several billion dollars in funds over a decade, successfully incubating hundreds of high-quality medical projects. He had become a prominent and highly regarded figure in the investment world of the city. In Ivy's eyes, Cato Alter was like a god in the medical field, controlling the life and death of countless people. The City's hospitals and medical projects were all chasing after him, and his investment preferences could also determine the direction of the stock market. ‘Cato Alter inherited 25% of his late mother's shares and has become the second-largest shareholder of the group, second only to Chairman Bob Alter. Cato Alter has always kept a low profile and has never personally participated in the group's affairs. His presence today is likely for a significant decision within the Alter Group.’ The host's words once again drew Ivy's attention. She stared at the TV screens of the reporters, feeling her curiosity building. ‘Our reporters have learned that this decision will significantly impact the future of the Alter Group.’ Then, the camera focused on the square in front of the Alter Group, where numerous reporters were gathered, waiting for the low-key and mysterious Cato Alter to make an appearance. Lilith suddenly turned her head and asked Ivy, "Cato Alter is the founder and CEO of DT Investment Group, isn't your husband working at DT Investment Group? Has he ever met Cato Alter?" Ivy shook her head, "He's just a part-time employee. It's not that easy to meet someone like Cato Alter." Even full-time employees might not easily encounter the elusive and low-profile Cato Alter, let alone part-time employees like Shawn. As she was pondering this, Lilith suddenly rested her chin on Ivy's shoulder and gave her a mysterious smile. "Do you know that Cato Alter and the Alter family have a feud?" Lilith's family background, while not as influential as the Alter family, was still part of the upper echelons of society. She had a lot of dirty information about those noble families thanks to her family's network. "After Chairman Alter married Cato's mother, Maria Tate, he became wealthy overnight thanks to the Tate family. But later, he wanted to abandon her and remarry. It's said that due to public opinion and the Tate family's strength at the time, he didn't dare to openly divorce, so he secretly schemed to destroy the Tate family, driving Maria Tate to her death." "After Maria Tate's death, he didn't hold a proper mourning ceremony. Instead, he spent a fortune to hire a gypsy master. He suppressed Maria Tate's ashes under the tower on the top floor of the Alter Group headquarters, hoping that Maria Tate would never be able to seek revenge in the afterlife." "As for that Cato Alter, he disappeared after Maria Tate's death and only returned ten years ago, inheriting 25% of Maria Tate's shares. However, he has always been low-profile and rarely seen in the public eye. It is said that employees who have direct contact with him at work have to hand in their phones at work and can only retrieve them after work. Clients who meet him in person must also hand in their phones and communication devices to prevent any leakage of his personal photos and information. It's quite abnormal. This is also the first time he's announced his participation in a shareholder meeting." Tate? Why is this last name similar to Shawn? No... it must be a coincidence. Ivy had never heard these stories before. When she was with Kevin in the past, he rarely talked about the Alter family's matters, and she never asked. However, because of her relationship with Kevin, she had experienced the overbearing and domineering nature of Chairman Alter. She believed that Cato Alter and his mother's experiences were far more tragic than what Lilith described. "Ivy, look, Cato Alter's car is coming!" Lilith suddenly grabbed Ivy's hand, excited. Ivy's gaze followed the TV screen forward and happened to catch a glimpse of a white Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly passing in front of the media's cameras. In the sunlight, the car gleamed brightly. Ivy couldn't help but stare at the mysterious man's silhouette inside the car, but in the next moment, her body suddenly froze. She didn't know why, but that silhouette gave her a strange sense of familiarity. ***
