Mr. Mysterious's Spontaneous Bride
Emma took the microphone and handed it to Ivy. She then held Andy's arm, whispering, "Dad, I'm not good with words, Ivy will handle it well." Andy nodded approvingly. Ivy tightly grasped the microphone. Being stared at by so many people, she felt a bit stunned for a moment. "Hello, everyone, I'm Ivy Rosalia Jones," she said in a deep voice. After her voice sounded, all tension disappeared into thin air. "I am truly grateful to the heavens for reuniting me with my mom and grandpa. I have also gained a talented young man like my brother. My brother is an outstanding young man..." Dom, who was daydreaming behind her, suddenly stopped, looking at Ivy's back in amazement. Why was she suddenly praising himself? Not a good premonition surged up in his heart. Sure enough, in the next moment, Ivy said, "In these years, he has dedicated too much to H Capital, with no time for love or marriage. Therefore, I want to thank the uncles, aunts, and brothers and sisters for taking care of him.” Dom fiercely pulled at the corners of his mouth, his face instantly darkening. As a family, we must enter through the same door, but as a doctor, Ivy was not stable at all! "Of course, of course..." The guests raised their glasses, very satisfied with Ivy's words. "Grandpa Andy, you are very fortunate." Andy also raised his glass, tacitly clinking it with the other party across the air. Ivy steadied herself and continued, "My Grandpa is getting old, and after finally reuniting with us, in the days to come, I just hope to enjoy good food, drink, and fun with him, and accompany him. I am a doctor, and I still hope to spend more time with patients. H Capital is not my expertise, so I'm sorry, Grandpa, and sorry, Brother, for the trouble of supporting me and my mom as freeloading burdens. I promise that in the future, I will become an excellent doctor and make you proud!" As the sound fell, the entire venue fell silent for a few seconds. Then, thunderous applause erupted, lasting for a long time without calming down. According to the normal practice of the aristocratic families, after acknowledging their relationship, there would inevitably be a recutting of resources and benefits.The journalists also thought so, so as soon as Andy announced this news, they had already prepared data on their colleagues' phones, ready to release an analysis of "Who is the heir to H Capital" as soon as possible. But after Ivy finished speaking, this analysis became meaningless. It seemed that Dom's marriage would have to wait a few more years. "Ivy is right!" Andy took the microphone to support his good granddaughter. "I have already asked the lawyers to start preparing for the handover of H Capital's equity. Out of the 30% of shares I hold, I will transfer 20% to Dom. Together with the original 20% he holds, Dom will become the highest helm of H Capital. Starting tomorrow, Dom will be the chairman and CEO of H Capital!" After listening to everything, Dom felt a headache coming on. He had expected the mother and daughter to say something to reassure him tonight, but he didn't anticipate that his grandfather would publicly transfer the shares. Wasn't his grandfather supposed to want him to get married? With the weight of H Capital pressing down, what marriage? He was a bachelor now! At this moment, Shawn, who was watching the live broadcast, slightly raised his thin lips. "He's still a bit young." The assistant, heard the hint of pride in his tone and quickly added, "Exactly! Mr. Tate can balance marriage and career, while Dom is just being pressured into becoming an old bachelor!" "What's there to be proud of?" Grandma Winston couldn't stand it. "If it weren't for me forcing you to go on a blind date with Ivy back then, you wouldn't be much different from Dom now!" Shawn's mouth twitched, and he dared not boast again. "Continue watching!" Grandma Winston commanded, "Today is Ivy's big day. Don't steal the spotlight!" Shawn: "..." At this moment, the banquet continued. After Andy announced everything, he led his daughter and granddaughter to move through various corners, toasting to the guests. He had originally wanted to pull Dom along for a harmonious family picture, but Dom seemed angry about not being informed earlier and had found an excuse to go upstairs for a meeting.Andy didn't mind, continuing to enjoy himself. Anyway, Dom would get over his anger after one night. "Aren't you leaving yet?!" When Bob Alter and Tanya saw Kevin gazing foolishly in Ivy's direction, they were immediately furious. "In tonight's guest list, my status is quite esteemed. Andy has toasted everyone else, but he hasn't come to me. It's obvious he's deliberately humiliating me. If you stay here, are you waiting to get into trouble?" Bob Alter scolded. "Dad!" Kevin wanted to resist, but under his father's threatening gaze, he could only leave. "Mr. Alter is in such a hurry to leave!" Andy's laughter came from behind. The family of three suddenly froze, reluctantly stopping. Turning around, they faced Andy. He no longer had a wine glass in his hand, indicating that it wasn't for a toast. "What do you want?" Bob Alter asked with an unfriendly tone. Andy shook his head, making a tsk sound. "How dare I want anything." Kevin's eyes were fixed on Ivy, and he said with a face full of admiration, "Ivy, this dress suits you so well. You're so beautiful, like a celestial being." "Ugh!" Lilith pretended to be disgusted and held onto Uncle Jim, saying, "I can't take it anymore. Pregnant women can't listen to such disgusting and dirty things! Uncle Jim, save me!" Uncle Jim cooperatively held onto her. "Miss Smith, try to listen less to these cheesy love words. You might disturb the fetus." But Kevin ignored them. In his heart, Ivy was like a beauty spot; unseen, it didn't matter, but once seen, he always hoped to perform a tragic love story with her. "Ivy, with the Livingston family here, your future path will be much smoother," he said. Ivy looked at Kevin coldly, sneered, and asked him, "Young Master Alter, may I ask when you and Dr. Potts will set a wedding date?" "Ivy..." Kevin's face turned gray, a face of defeat. "What do you mean by this, Ivy?" "Nothing," Ivy shrugged. "I hope you can settle down after marriage. You always express deep affection for me in front of Dr. Potts, making me uncomfortable. Dr. Potts is embarrassed, and my husband would be jealous. Mr. Potts's father would be heartbroken. Your deep affection has harmed four people and two families. This just shows that your deep affection is not allowed.""Is it wrong for me to love you?" Kevin looked bewildered. "Ivy, I truly love you." "Mr. Livingston, there are urgent matters at the company that need immediate attention. I'm sorry." Bob Alter dared not stay any longer. With his son in tow, he quickly left. "Just wait a moment." Andy called to stop him. "Mr. Alter, do you know about the medical accident three years ago involving Ivy at your City A First Hospital?" Bob Alter was taken aback, looking at him warily. "This matter caused a sensation in the hospital. How could I not know?" "Good to know," Andy's smile made Bob Alter feel inexplicably uneasy. About to ask, he heard Andy add, "At that time, Ivy was insulted and had no way to retaliate. She bore many grievances by herself and had nowhere to appeal. Since she is my granddaughter and the little princess of H Capital and the Livingston family, it's only natural for me to investigate this matter thoroughly. If there is injustice, we'll clear it. If the facts prove that it's her responsibility, then I will apologize to the industry on behalf of H Capital." "Grandpa Andy, this matter needs careful consideration." Kevin suddenly became nervous and replied, "It has been three years, and the outside world has forgotten about it. If we bring it up forcibly, it will only put Ivy back in the spotlight, criticized by people. She..." "How old are you this year?" Andy squinted his eyes. "28..." Andy's eyes turned cold. "I'm 72 this year. You're in twenties. How dare you try to teach me things here?" Kevin's face turned pale. "Enough!" Bob Alter couldn't bear to see his son embarrass himself any further and quickly stopped him. "If you want to investigate, investigate. We will cooperate as needed." "That's what I want to hear from Mr. Alter." Andy's smile reappeared on his face. "Well, I won't send you off. Take your time." "Hmph!" Bob Alter turned and left. Tanya pulled the dispirited Kevin to follow. Near the entrance, Bob Alter was tripped up by a flowerpot, nearly falling and making a fool of himself. Luckily, someone beside him helped him stabilize, or it could have been a real accident. Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Ivy couldn't help but sigh. "Grandpa, thank you for everything you've done for me." She hugged Andy's arm and whispered.Andy blinked at her. "You are my precious one. Grandpa will give you the best in the world." "Of course, if you really want to thank someone, thank your good husband. He provided me with evidence and doubts, allowing me to re-investigate with the identity of the Livingston family and H Capital." ***
