Mr. Mysterious's Spontaneous Bride
"Shawn?" She didn't expect that he had already met with Grandpa Andy. "Grandpa, when did you meet him?" Andy was taken aback, realizing the potential trouble. If Ivy found out now that he knew Shawn, and later when that scoundrel's lies were exposed, Ivy would blame him for sure. Thinking about this, Andy said, "It's your brother, he knows him." At this moment, Dom, still in the meeting upstairs, inexplicably shuddered. "Chairman, what's wrong?" On the other end of the online meeting, the subordinate had already changed his address. Dom didn't like this address. In his eyes, the chairman should be like a mascot, like the old man. Thinking about this, he frowned and corrected his subordinate's words, "You don't need to call me that internally." "Yes, Young Master." "Continue the meeting." ... The news that Emma and Ivy had become part of the Livingston family, the wealthiest family in City S, quickly spread far and wide, even reaching the Jones’ village. One evening, Grandma Jones was scrolling through Tiktok when she suddenly saw a well-made inspirational short video depicting Ivy as the little princess of the Livingston family. She blinked, confirmed multiple times, and once she was sure that the Ivy in the video was the same person who used to be a burden, she instantly lost her composure. "Old man, look, tis brat has become a pigeon!" Grandpa Jones glanced over, rubbed his eyes excitedly, finding it hard to believe, "Isn't that Emma? How... incredible. Quickly, call Harry back!" At this moment, Harry walked into the house disheveled. Grandma Jones showed him the video on her phone. After watching it for a moment, he fell into a daze and then sneered. "Now I want to see who dares to mess with our family!" "Harry..." Grandma Jones glanced around, making sure there were only the three of them in the room. She said, "You find a time to reconcile with Emma." "What?" Harry thought he had misheard, "Mom, what are you saying? That ugly woman? She's not worthy!" "Your mom is right!" Grandpa Jones interrupted him, "Harry, I know about the Livingston family. They're rich. Ivy is now the sole heir, with more power than the adopted son of the Livingston! You are Ivy's biological father. At least you're more powerful than their adopted son, right?!" "But Dad, that Emma, old and ugly, I don't want her!" "It's not like we're asking you to really sleep with her!" Grandma Jones earnestly advised, "For money, can't you endure a little discomfort? Back then, you endured it for that old lady's money, and now it's different?" "Back then was back then; at least she was young then. Now..." Harry hesitated. "Then what about the gambling debts you owe? Don't you want to pay them off?" Grandma Jones reminded, "Back then, with the money Emma brought, you repaid high-interest loans. Now, if you reconcile with Emma, not only can you clear your debts, but you'll also have endless money for your enjoyment. When Andy dies, with Emma's simple mind, aren't the Livingston's money won't fall into your hands?" Grandma Jones's words successfully attracted Harry's attention. Anyway, it's not necessary to do anything with her. Just deal with it. Besides, nowadays, playing with women requires spending money. Without money to buy bags and cosmetics, those women won't play along. Thinking of this, Harry nodded, opened Emma's chatbox, and typed a few words: "Emma, are you there? I miss you." After sending it, one check mark appeared. Emma had long since blocked him. "This damn woman!" Harry cursed angrily, "She even dares to block me!" He paced back and forth in the room. If it were in the past, he would have definitely taught her a lesson! "Harry, times have changed. Be patient for the money." Grandpa Jones and Grandma Jones were afraid that their son's explosive temper would ruin all possibilities, so they quickly persuaded him. After calming him down for a while, Harry's mood stabilized. He suppressed his dissatisfaction and patiently sent a friend request to Emma’s Facebook. This time, it was accepted. Harry: Hello, Emma, how are you?I miss you, can we meet? Emma: Okay, I'm free tomorrow night, "Heh!" Harry, filled with disgust for Emma's initiative, sneered, "It seems like it's been too long since she had a man, she's in desperate need of my moisture." "It looks like she still has feelings for you," Grandpa and Grandma Jones let go of their worries, as if they saw the vast wealth of the Livingston family shining before them, a treasure trove. "Harry, don't be too complacent. Reply to her quickly," they urged Harry to respond to Emma. Harry: Where? At the Livingston? Emma: I’ll tell you tomorrow. At this moment, on the other end of the phone, Ivy hung up after sending her last sentence. Lilith, beside her, was furious, gritting her teeth, "They see that you now have the Livingston family, and they want to use the same old tricks to deceive you." "Not this time." Ivy looked at Harry's profile picture. His profile picture was a clear shot of his face, a close-up that captured his features distinctly. In the past, he deceived her mom, making life difficult for her grandma even after her death. At that time, she was young and couldn't resist, but this time, he wouldn't gain any advantage! Thinking of this, Ivy held her mother's hand, "Mom, tomorrow you accompany Grandpa. I'll deal with this person. I promise it will be an unforgettable lesson for him." After the dinner, Ivy sat in the living room with her mother. Emma was still sighing, "I'm sorry, Ivy. I didn't expect this person to be so persistent." "Mom, it's okay. They have no way to fight back, but being entangled is something they seek." "I don't mind being entangled; I just don't want you to be affected." Ivy said, "I've grown up; I won't let anyone manipulate me." This mother-daughter conversation happened to be heard by Andy. He whispered to Dom, "Has Harry's family caused trouble for our family?""Not yet. Tomorrow, they should be preparing to negotiate. I guess they will only make a scene after Harry's family realizes they've been fooled and gets angry." "Hmph!" Andy snorted, squinting his eyes. "Dom, you've followed me for so many years; you should know my temper." "Grandpa, rest assured, I've already taken care of it. The media in City S won't pick up their leaks and news. As for City A, whether Shawn handle it or me..." "Of course, you handle it." Andy had long known that his grandson couldn't stand Shawn. He had regarded him as a strong opponent in his mind and eagerly seized the opportunity to deal with him. "You're Ivy's big brother, and also his big brother. Show your authority as a big brother and discipline him well." He patted Dom's hand, then turned away from his stern expression, smiling as he went downstairs. "Emma, what are you and Ivy talking about?" ***
