In the next moment, Shawn gently released her, looking at her in disbelief. At this moment, the servants from the Livingston family shouted, "Miss Ivy, it's time to start." Ivy smiled lightly, cupped Shawn's face, her forehead touching his, smiling foolishly. "Go back quickly. Let's talk more after we're both done being busy." She deliberately emphasized the word "talk," and Shawn's mind raced. It turned out she liked it this direct and wild way. "Miss Ivy..." Ivy swiftly opened the car door, jumped out, and turned back to wave to the dazed Jasson and Luke. "Mr. Luke, thank you for bringing Shawn here. I'll go back first..." And then she smiled and went back. After a long time, Jasson finally came to his senses. The corner of his eye glanced at the still-absent Shawn, and he nudged Luke's arm, teasing, "Learn from this, this is what they call handling it!" Then he ran away before Shawn got angry. The car was once again enveloped in a deep atmosphere. Soon, Luke sat in the co-pilot seat and left the Livingston family without much delay. The car window rolled down, and the man's black eyes shot up to the second floor, over the railing. The man inside looked coldly at the man looking in, a cold smile on his face. On the second floor, Dom finished the conference call, closed the computer, and walked to the corridor. Uncle Jim followed behind, seeing him silently gazing in the direction Shawn had left, lowering his eyes, quietly waiting for him to inquire. "Did Grandpa already know?" Dom frowned. "Yes, but due to Shawn's identity, he didn't expose his lie out of respect for him," Uncle Jim replied. Dom's eyebrows deepened, "So almost everyone in the world knows except her?" "And also Miss Ivy's family... they don't know either," Uncle Jim added.Dom's frowned deeper, "He deliberately chose to act out this scene in front of me at the back door, knowing that I would not speak out of respect for Grandpa." "Well, it doesn't matter; wait until the truth is revealed, and he'll have a hard time!" Uncle Jim dared not directly mention that Shawn deliberately staged this scene to declare sovereignty over Ivy. If it weren't for Grandpa always pushing Miss Ivy and Young Master Dom together, that kid wouldn't have felt the crisis and probably wouldn't have staged this tonight. .... When Ivy returned to the garden of the Livingston family, Andy and Dom were already standing on the raised platform. The butler stood below, tapping the wine glass gently with a fork, and the entire venue fell silent. Andy cleared his throat and said with a hearty laugh, "I am honored to have you all here amidst your busy schedules." The audience erupted into thunderous applause at these words. Ivy and Emma both looked towards the raised platform, seeing Dom standing beside Andy with a dignified expression. Although his face was calm and reserved, an undeniable aura radiated from him. "Your grandfather mentioned that this child's parents were police officers. His father worked undercover and was retaliated against by the criminal underworld, resulting in the entire family being killed. He was the sole survivor, hiding in a closet at the time. Later, the police provided him with a new identity, and he grew up in an orphanage." "Unfortunately, witnessing the death of his family made the child introverted and unsociable. He was often bullied by other children. Out of pity for his parents' friends, your grandfather agreed to adopt him." Emma spoke softly, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She had left Andy at a young age and had never undergone training to inherit the family business. She didn't want to touch the business realm, let alone manage a business empire. Thinking of her daughter, she knew that Ivy had no interest in such matters. She only liked being a doctor. The Livingston family needed someone capable to take charge, and Dom was that person. "Your grandfather, after announcing his identity later, will face interference. We hope that the relationship between the grandfather and grandson will not be affected by this.""Mom..." Ivy held her mother's hand, comforting her gently, "Don't worry, I know what to do." Emma nodded. "H Capital has grown to its current state, thanks to your care. Both Dom and I are very grateful. Therefore, whenever there is a significant event in the Livingston family, we hope to share it with you first." "Mr. Livingston, is it about Dom's child and the recent talk of the town?" A journalist asked the question everyone was curious about. In the next moment, all the cameras were pointed at Lilith. Though Lilith had prepared herself, facing so many cameras still made her feel nervous. In a corner, Jasson was even more irritated, thinking, "That's clearly my child! When did it become Dom's?" Jasson drank a glass of wine in frustration. Andy squinted and said, "Lilith is a good girl I cherish." These vague words seemed to reassure the journalists, instantly dispelling everyone's gossiping thoughts. "That means it's true!" "The Smith family in City A is really going to form an alliance with the Livingston family in City S." Excitement filled the air. Dom was already thirty, never having been in a relationship, and rumors among City S' gossip reporters suggested he had a preference for men. This moment provided the answer, and the crowd couldn't help but cheer. Just as everyone was cheering, Bob Alter glanced at Tanya. Tanya understood the signal. With a charming smile, she suddenly walked up to Lilith. "Lilith with so many reporters here, you must be careful not to be misunderstood." As soon as her words fell, the cheers stopped. Ivy's heart skipped a beat, fearing that Tanya would harm Lilith. She stepped forward to shield her. "Speak, but don't get too close." Ivy warned. Tanya, her disdain evident, said, "Ivy, both of us are doctors. Remember that incident where you accidentally killed a patient in City A First Hospital due to your impulsive desire for recognition? Have you not learned your lesson?" These words triggered memories and gossip among the people. "Is this Ivy Jones, the doctor who accidentally killed a patient in City A First Hospital and didn't have her medical license revoked? I heard she's friends with Lilith Smith." "This proves that Andy Livingston is indeed confused." Whispers and discussions echoed. Ivy had already grown accustomed to such comments, but she raised her eyebrows and retorted to Tanya, "After the medical accident, I wasn't stripped of my license. Doesn't that prove I'm innocent? As for you, Dr. Potts, I heard you took bribes, creating chaos in City A First Hospital..." Intentionally putting forward unproven allegations, Ivy believed that with her reminder, a large number of people would investigate the connections behind Tanya's dubious activities in City A First Hospital and the collusion between the hospital and the Alter Group. The power of the masses was always stronger than her acting alone. Sure enough, Ivy saw Tanya's face turn pale. "You!" Tanya stiffened, never expecting Ivy to bring up her concealed actions. Not fearing, Tanya believed that Ivy had no evidence. But with so many reporters present and the live broadcast ongoing, she couldn't steer the topic towards herself. After contemplating, she decided to reveal Lilith's dirty secret. She turned to face the reporters with a cold smile. "Originally, today wasn't supposed to be about dampening everyone's spirits. It's just that I can't bear to see the Livingston family being deceived, and Dom being cheated. Lilith Smith is pregnant with Jasson Brown’s child! She and Ivy conspired to deceive Dom, who is innocent and straightforward, plotting to seize the Livingston family's fortune!" ***
