Approaching Bob Alter, the two exchanged polite greetings before shaking hands and posing for several photos in front of the media. "Today's dinner will be broadcasted live throughout. Mr. Alter, do you mind?" Andy asked with a smiling face. Bob Alter replied with complexity, "I don't mind. However, will the live broadcast be inappropriate?" "Of course not." Andy interrupted Bob Alter without hesitation, his gaze shifting between Kevin and Tanya behind him. "The live broadcast helps showcase the abilities and demeanor of the younger generation." As the conversation unfolded, Kevin approached Andy, creating a sudden cold atmosphere. Kevin felt that Dom was not easy to get along with, even through video conferences. But compared to Cato Alter, he seemed more approachable. Cato Alter was dangerous and especially vulgar, like a nouveau riche. Thinking of this, Kevin adjusted his clothes and extended his hand to Dom, "Dom, we've been online friends for so long; we finally meet." Dom coldly looked at the extended hand, choosing to ignore it. "Grandpa, I'll check if the other guests have arrived." Without waiting for Andy's reply, he walked away. In that awkward moment, watching Dom leave, Andy awkwardly approached Bob Alter. "I apologize for my child. When he gets upset, even I get ignored. Kevin, please don't misunderstand." Kevin awkwardly withdrew his hand, forcing a smile. "It's okay, Dom must be busy." Andy squinted, "Then please rest for a while. The dinner will begin shortly." "Wait." Seeing Andy about to leave, Bob Alter immediately stopped him. "Chairman Livingston, there are a few things I'd like to discuss with you in advance." "No need!" Andy, with a forced smile, rejected his attempt at goodwill. "Let's talk after the dinner. This concerns the honor of the Livingston family." "But... this matter is crucial to the honor of the Livingston family." "Then it should be discussed later. The dinner is the main course for our Livingston family!" Bob Alter wanted to explain further, but Andy had already left with Uncle Jim's company.The family of three coldly watched Andy's departure, exchanging glances. "Dad, should I talk to Dom later? This is related to him after all." "No need." Bob Alter frowned, looking at his son with disappointment. "We've tried our best, but he refuses. Besides... Dom probably feels you're not qualified to be on equal footing with him." He sighed and walked away. Tanya's smile gradually disappeared from her face. Seeing Kevin's moment of unhappiness, she softly advised, "Don't take them to heart. Dad’s mood hasn't been good these days, especially after seeing Ivy tonight; he's naturally more irritable." Speaking of Ivy, Kevin subconsciously looked around but suddenly couldn't find her figure. He hastily replied, "I understand." Then he shook off Tanya's hand and left. Where did Ivy go? Ivy was taken away by Jasson. "Lawyer Brown, where are you taking me?" Ivy asked Jasson regretfully. She regretted that Jasson was playing her, and she regretted actually coming out with him. "You said you have a secret to tell me, what secret needs to be said at the back door of the Livingston family?" Ivy was puzzled; she felt that Jasson was deceiving her. So, she turned around to leave. Seeing her about to run away, Jasson didn't dare to sell the mystery anymore and quickly chased after her. "Dr. Jones, wait!" Grabbing her shoulder, Jasson loosened his grip as soon as he felt Ivy's cold gaze. "Don't look at me like that, Dr. Jones." Jasson was an international lawyer, jumping between black and white for many years, and he was afraid of who? But for some reason, he didn't know why Ivy's gaze made him shiver. Sighing deeply, he pointed in the direction of Shawn's car, forcing a smile with a hint of flattery, "Look, who's here?" Following his gaze, Ivy saw the slowly opening door of the black car in front. Looking at it, who else could it be if not Shawn?"Why are you here?" Ivy was overjoyed and jogged over, "Aren’t you..." Wasn't he detained by Cato Alter? "Be careful." The man watched her hurry in high heels, worriedly gesturing for her to slow down. After the woman sat steadily in the car, he explained, "I asked for a three-hour leave from President Alter, came to see you, and will leave in ten minutes." "So urgent?" Although she was dissatisfied with the short time, Ivy, being a working person in the pharmaceutical industry, understood that sometimes it was unavoidable. Thinking of this, she added, "Don't do such hasty things in the future. We have plenty of time to meet in the future." Deepening his gaze, he said, "I just really wanted to see you, especially tonight." "Tonight? Is there anything special?" Ivy was puzzled. Shawn replied, "Ivy, I owe you a confession." Jasson outside covered his face. He really had no face to listen. "Confession, Shawn? Really...?” Ignoring Jasson, Ivy asked, “What do you want to confess now?" "Pfft!" Again, Jasson's voice came from outside. "Luke, save me, I can't take it anymore, give me a hand." "Bang!" A slamming sound came from the car, and Shawn's dissatisfaction echoed inside. "Make any more noise, and I'll kick you out!" Jasson immediately covered his mouth and stopped talking. The quiet surroundings only had the clear breathing of the four people. Before coming, Shawn had designed numerous confession scenes, such as falling from the sky, making a bet with her that he could arrive immediately, or planning a romantic bouquet cruise with fireworks. Each had different plans. Plan A, Plan B, Plan C... But when he combined Ivy's usual personality to decide the final plan, he suddenly realized that, given a woman's character, these plans would be a waste of time and money in her eyes. So, Shawn quickly abandoned those plans and opted for the most primitive and direct confession."Do you remember the bet we made on the phone just now?" the man chuckled. Ivy nodded, "No wonder you said you would be here soon; it turns out you had already planned it." Outside, Jasson and Luke exchanged glances, their feelings mixed for a moment. To be honest, one was a domineering CEO, and the other was a little princess from a wealthy family, both with an international background, yet they conveyed an atmosphere full of local flavor. Oh... They both sighed at the same time, coincidentally hearing Shawn solemnly confessing inside, “Ivy, I know we got married in a flash. Originally, our thoughts were the same, finding someone easy and hassle-free to spend our lives with. But unexpectedly..." Shawn said slowly, his gaze gentle, looking at Ivy with indulgence. Outside, Jasson and Luke couldn't help but place their fists on their chests, and their heartbeats involuntarily accelerated. "But unexpectedly, during the time I spent with you, I gradually became attracted to you, Ivy. I found that I have fallen in love with you. Can you be with me?" "Be with you?" Ivy blinked in confusion. "Aren't we already together?" Shawn: "..." "Also..." He frowned, conflicted in his heart. How should he tell her that his idea of "be with me" meant considering having children? Just as Shawn was at a loss, Ivy straightened up and hugged him. Like a little kitten, she leaned close to his ear, her red lips showing a touch of grievance and a playful smile. "Shawn, I love you." ***
