Mr. Mysterious's Spontaneous Bride
"Grandfather, does Cato Alter have any handle caught by you?" Lilith asked. "Of course!" Andy said happily, "If I asked him to go east, he wouldn't dare to go west!" The triumphant expression on his face seemed as if he already had DT Investment in his grasp. Ivy had no way to deal with her mischievous old man and, after a few comforting words, left for the hospital. Busy with family matters these days, she rarely spent time at the hospital. Fortunately, under the guidance of Professors Erica and Watson, everything was on track. In the past, Ivy helped them and consulted Professor Watson about Shawn's surgical plan. Shawn's second surgery would take place in two months, so she needed more time to prepare to ensure everything went smoothly. "Ivy, Professor Watson will be away for some time. During this period, it's up to you and me. If there's nothing urgent, don't go back to the County Clinic for now," Professor Erica instructed before going to check on the patients. Ivy took the opportunity to call Roland, asking him to take care of things in her absence. Roland revealed that many media outlets were interviewing both the County Clinic and the Potts Medical Clinic across the street, and good news might come soon. "Ivy, I watched the live broadcast that night. Your accusation against Tanya was really a deadly move. Many media outlets are investigating, and no matter how the Alter Group tries to cover it up, it won't stop the trend of exposure. After all, DT Investment's media is not to be trifled with. Soon, that hypocritical woman will have nowhere to hide," Roland said excitedly, feeling that justice had been served. Anyway, rest assured. I'm here for you." Ivy finally felt at ease. "Thank you, Senior. It's not easy for you.” She felt guilty, as she was a doctor at the County Clinic and shouldn't have let her colleagues bear the burden day and night. "I'll try to go back one day a week." "Okay." Roland knew Ivy's personality and realized that trying to persuade her was futile. He accepted, "Alright, when you come back, we can exchange thoughts. I also want to admire Professor Watson's style." The two exchanged a few more words about the patients, settled the details, and then hung up. Ivy immersed herself in work again, accompanying Professor Erica to examine patients. Erica, seeing her dedication, looked at her with admiration. "Dr. Jones, during Professor Watson's absence, you will be in charge of his work. Send him an email every night," Erica said.Ivy understood Professor Erica's intention to nurture her and felt ecstatic. "Thank you, Professor Erica, for your guidance." Erica patted her on the shoulder. "Work hard!" "Okay!" After Erica returned to the office, she called Shawn to discuss. In her conversation, she expressed admiration for Ivy and suggested openly acknowledging her. Shawn, hearing this, felt overwhelmed by the situation. "I haven't found a suitable method yet." Confident in the business world, Shawn could easily solve any problem except for Ivy. He didn't know how to approach her. Erica also understood Ivy's personality. She knew this matter couldn't be rushed, so she comforted, "I'll help you think of a solution." "Thank you, Auntie." After Shawn finished speaking, his assistant entered the room, holding a phone playing a TikTok video. "Aunt, I have something to attend to, I'll hang up first." After quickly ending the call, Luke handed the phone to Shawn. Clearly, Harry was live streaming, with the entire Jones family in tears, accusing Ivy of exploiting their family's power since recognizing the Livingston family. Shawn gestured for Luke to turn off the phone. Without needing to see, he knew what Harry was saying. Luke asked, "Mr. Tate, should we shut down the live stream?" Shawn shook his head, "Since he can go live, it means the Alter family is already supporting him. Closing it now will only give them more ammunition. Instruct everyone to lift all restrictions. Let him expose whatever he wants. Our media won't stoop to such low tactics, but we won't interfere either." Luke instantly understood his boss's intentions. After arranging things with his subordinates, Luke added, "In these days, we will also increase efforts to protect Madam." "How's Kara's situation?""She has given birth to a son. Harry has always thought the child is his and is extremely fond of him." "That's good. Tell her to prepare for action." "Yes." After Luke left, Shawn pondered for a while and then called Ivy via video. He saw Ivy in a white coat. Observing her surroundings, Shawn asked, "Are you in the hospital corridor?" Ivy removed her mask, loosened her hair, and spoke lazily, "A few days ago, because of family matters, Professor Erica covered for me for several days. I felt guilty and volunteered to stay at the hospital more these days." Shawn opened Luke's chatbox, ordered a few dishes, and told him to prepare and deliver them to Ivy quickly. On the surface, he said, "It seems like you don't follow the news at all." Ivy was puzzled, "What news?" Suddenly remembering that he had ordered Sanders to block all reporters harassing Ivy, Shawn said, "The news says that Jasson Brown has returned to England." "Oh..." Ivy chuckled. "Lilith already told me. She said before leaving, Jasson Brown insisted that he would come back before the child was born." As she spoke, Ivy couldn't help but laugh. "Shawn, you won't believe it. Lilith has been sending Lawyer Brown different angle ultrasound images and belly photos. That playboy surprisingly cared, looking forward to the baby's birth." Shawn squinted, appreciating the lively and vivid expression on Ivy's face when talking about gossip. It was so vivid and animated that he didn't want to disturb her. Under such gentle scrutiny, Ivy shared Lilith's gossip, and her tense expression eased considerably. "Are you hungry?" Shawn asked softly. Ivy touched her stomach, a bit embarrassed, "Now that you mention it, I am a bit hungry." "Alright, I've prepared a delicious dinner. It will be delivered shortly. Eat it well and then get back to work, okay?" "No need to trouble yourself." Ivy was about to refuse, worried about the expenses, but the next moment, Shawn skillfully cornered her, "Don't worry; it's from Mr. Cato." Once she heard it was from Cato Alter, Ivy didn't hesitate. Cato Alter had been ordering her husband around every day, causing their separation. It was time he paid for it. Thinking this way, Ivy accepted without hesitation. Not long after hanging up the phone, the delivery arrived. Ivy went to her office, looked at the delicious dinner, and suddenly remembered the news Shawn mentioned. She opened her phone. In the next moment, a barrage of messages came in, including from her university classmates. Without even opening chatbox, Ivy knew what those classmates who rarely contacted her would say--hoping to leverage their relationship to connect with the Livingston family. Although she disliked such social maneuvering, she understood it very well. People live for their own interests; shortcuts are naturally appealing to everyone. So, she automatically ignored those messages and opened the news website instead. Initially, she thought nothing of it, but as she looked, Ivy's eyes widened. The website was full of the Jones family. While eating, Ivy watched the news. As she expected, it was all accusations against her. The tearful family accused her of being heartless, saying she deceived the entire family, swindling them out of a whole ten thousand, and sweeping them out the door. While eating, Ivy thought about it but didn't pay much attention. At that moment, Lilith walked in briskly. "Ivy, did you see it? The Jones family is shameless, so annoying." She stomped her foot, took Ivy's spoon, and ate a few bites. "Delicious, so delicious. Where did you order this takeaway? It's so good." "Shawn said it's Cato Alter's chef." Ivy opened chatbox on her phone, and indeed, the classmates' messages were all about these news.She didn't want to reply to each one individually, so she thanked them collectively in the class group. "Ivy, how do you plan to counterattack?" Lilith asked while eating. "For now, no counterattack. Let them sell misery a bit longer." "Alright. If you need any help, just say." After putting down her phone, Ivy thought for a while and asked Lilith, "Lilith, how's your live streaming room doing recently?" Since leaving the Smith family, her expenses were covered by her savings from the past few years. Seeing her child growing up day by day, she decided to turn to self-media and become an internet celebrity. "Currently, I mainly live stream pregnancy diaries, but the growth rate of followers is slow. After all, the audience is different. You know, those girls without boyfriends are the popular ones." Ivy pinched her nose, "Three days later, I'll help you gain some followers, okay?" "Huh?" Lilith's eyes lit up. "Really?" "I plan to reveal the truth in a live stream three days later. No hurry. When the lawyer has the documents ready, we'll announce a day in advance. By then, your social media accounts will surely gain a lot of fans." "Yes!" Lilith's eyes sparkled. "And not only that, I'll also seek sponsorship, like advertising slots before the live stream, live streaming authorizations from various platforms. That's fantastic, Ivy! I'll get busy right away!" After Lilith finished speaking, she quickly made calls, and Ivy watched her with a content heart. "Ivy, speaking of which, with the media outside making such a fuss, it's unusual that there's no media siege here." "Maybe Grandfather is helping." Ivy sighed. "This is City S, and my hospital is in the suburbs, not yet operational. Grandfather has the ability to keep me undisturbed. If it were in City A, the County Clinic would probably have been compromised..." Fortunately, this time it was in City S. Otherwise, the patients at the County Clinic in City A would have already been disrupted. Ivy didn't know that Shawn was protecting her. She just felt that Grandfather didn't want her to worry and didn't say anything more. She didn't object because she wasn't a fussy person. If these measures could let her work in peace and serve the patients, she wouldn't refuse. ***
