The sound fell, and a commotion erupted among the onlookers. The entire venue fell silent as everyone held their breath, focusing on the Livingston family and Lilith. Only the continuous clicking of cameras filled the surroundings. Tanya was very satisfied with the reactions of the people present. She declared herself as the one who had spoken, casting her gaze finally onto Andy and Dom, waiting for Andy's approval. Unfortunately, Andy had no expression other than a cold face, leaving Tanya discontented. She thought Andy was blaming her for revealing this information without prior notice, and she added, "It happened suddenly, and I didn't consider the emotions of the old master and Young Master Dom. It shouldn't have happened. It's just that my father and I couldn't find an opportunity earlier to inform you of the seriousness of this matter and advise you to end the banquet. So..." At this point, Tanya looked towards Kevin, hinting for him to speak in her favor. Kevin hesitated, "Mr. Livingston, it was unavoidable. We didn't want you to be deceived by Lilith." "Deceived by me?" Lilith narrowed her eyes, mocking, "Kevin Alter, when you cried and begged me to help you win over Ivy, weren't you afraid I would deceive you?" Walking slowly towards Kevin, Lilith wasn't afraid. On the contrary, she became more provocative and confident. "When Ivy broke up with you, you begged me to help you get her back. Weren't you afraid I would deceive you?" Her gaze moved between him and Tanya, lips curved into a sly smile. "Now that the boat has passed through countless oceans, you start pretending not to recognize me? Uh... how embarassing." Kevin looked away, coughing lightly. "Don't talk nonsense." "The one talking nonsense is you guys, right?" Lilith spread her hands, looking innocent. "It's like when your Alter family, like a sticky plaster, used to follow Ivy all the time. One played the role of urging her to divorce with feigned affection, while the other couldn't wait for her to disappear from this world. What did Ivy do to your family? Why do you insist on biting onto them?" As the sound fell, Ivy suddenly blushed, her eyes watery and mouth pouting in a pitiful manner. "Ivy, don't say anything." She sobbed with a choked voice, a look of wanting to cry but restraining herself due to authority, "I am afraid..." On the raised platform, Dom's eyebrows furrowed deeper. This woman, a few days ago, had a cold and indifferent demeanor, but now she's acting like this? Why doesn't she become an actress? "Ivy, don't be afraid; I'm here for you!" Lilith waved her hand, embracing the trembling woman, "If anyone dares to humiliate you today, I'll make the Livingston family seek revenge for you!" "You can't even protect yourself now, and you have to leave the Livingston family." Tanya sneered, crossing her arms. "What brilliant ideas do you have?" Lilith asked coldly. "No brilliant ideas!" Tanya retorted coldly, suddenly pointing to Jasson in the corner, who was contemplating an escape. "The child in your belly belongs to Jasson! I have a friend who is the client manager of the hotel you used for your trysts and has witnessed Jasson and you spending the night there several times!" At that moment, all eyes were focused on Jasson. Only Jasson felt like his world was falling apart. “Lawyer Brown, Mr. Tate has ordered that you must attend the entire banquet to protect your wife.” "What?" Jasson looked closely, wasn't this the deputy beside Sanders? Shawn Tate, you damn dog! "I can't even protect myself, how can I protect her?" He yelled in frustration, struggling helplessly. But after struggling for a long time, he couldn't move a bit. Finally, the voice he least wanted to hear rang out at this moment. "Yes, the child belongs to Jasson Brown!" Jasson: "..." Tanya sneered, looking like she was enjoying the show. "Let's see how you explain this to Grandpa Andy and Young Master Dom!" "I never said the child is Dom's." Lilith shrugged, looking at Dom. "Right, Young Master Dom?" At that moment, Dom raised his glass. "Miss Lilith, you are my sister's good friend. Grandpa is very willing to adopt you as his goddaughter." "What?" There was an uproar among the crowd. "What does this mean? What sister? What friend?" Tanya was even more confused.Friend... sister...? Terrifying thoughts echoed in her mind, and her face turned pale. "Ivy..." Ivy! Kevin finally came back to his senses. He stared blankly at Ivy, only to see that she no longer had the previous fear and grievances on her face. Instead, she looked calm and dignified, like a rich girl from a wealthy family. At this moment, Andy, seeing that the climax of the show had arrived, raised his glass and laughed loudly. "Are you all satisfied with the appetizer we arranged?" "Mr. Livingston..." Bob Alter finally guessed that this was a staged drama with twists and turns. He wanted to interrupt them but was too late. "The banquet we invited you all to tonight is not, as rumored, to announce the engagement of Dom and Lilith. My grandson—Dom, is still a golden bachelor. Of course, if any of you have a good girl to introduce to him, I would certainly look forward to it." Dom coughed lightly. "Grandpa, let's get to the point!" Andy gave him a disdainful look and continued, "As everyone knows, I, Andy Livingston, have been looking for my daughter for decades, but without any result. But tonight... I want to tell everyone that I have found my daughter!" As he finished speaking, he gazed affectionately at Emma and Ivy on the stage. Under the expectant gaze of the audience, Ivy, supporting her mother, walked up the steps and faced the guests. Andy held his daughter and granddaughter with both hands, tears in his eyes. "I want to formally introduce my recovered treasures to everyone, my daughter Emma Livingston and my granddaughter, Ivy. The whole hall erupted in astonishment. The guests present, even though they had experienced many things, had never encountered such a melodramatic scene in their lives. Despite their years of experience in the business world, today's events were more explosive than ever. Who came here not to enjoy some juicy gossip? And who wasn't here to witness the rumored gay Dom becoming a joke? Unexpectedly, the plot twist turned out to be such a bombshell revelation. In the corner, Jasson, who had been struggling and preparing to leave at any moment, was suddenly invigorated.Only the members of the Alter family were left in shock. "Dr. Jones, well done!" Jasson waved enthusiastically to the stage, shouting loudly. Tanya's face alternated between pale and green. She looked incredulously at the crowd below the stage, the people she had always looked down upon. She shouted, "Impossible..." "Impossible!" As the sound fell, both Bob Alter and Kevin looked at her simultaneously, their eyes filled with hints for her to shut up. Tanya, who had never worked in the business world, was puzzled. But for them, who had been in this circle for many years, the hidden implications were instantly understood. No wonder the rumors had been circulated in such a way, and the Livingston family hadn't come out to make any statements. It turned out they were waiting for this father and son to shoot themselves alone! Bob Alter took a few steps back, sitting dumbfounded in the chair behind him. Ivy turned out to be Andy's granddaughter. Andy had never remarried, and Dom was just an adopted son. After Dom passed away, most of H Capital would almost all belong to Ivy... Even if Ivy wasn't the heir to H Capital in the future, given her current status as Andy's favorite, whoever married her could walk with pride in City S. If Kevin had been with her back then, wouldn't he be launching a counterattack against DT Investments with H Capital by now? Thinking of this, large beads of sweat dripped from Bob Alter's forehead. Whether it was shock or regret, Bob Alter himself didn't know his true feelings at the moment. He only knew that now, he must immediately stop this farce. Thinking of this, he organized his thoughts, stood up, and looked at Andy. "I'm truly sorry, Mr. Livingston, Dr. Potts is still young and impulsive, causing this farce today. Please forgive her, after all, her intentions are for the good of the Livingston family." "Dr. Potts..." Andy looked meaningfully at the family of three. Knowing Ivy's identity, he immediately changed Tanya's address to Dr. Potts. The Alter family, except for Cato Alter, had become a joke.But now was not the time to be entangled in these matters. Tonight's main event was Emma and Ivy. It couldn't be disturbed by some dirty things. Thinking of this, he regained his composure, raised his eyebrows, and said to Emma and Ivy, "Can you both say a few words on my behalf?" ***
