As the words fell, Dom's body stiffened. He shook his head and said, "What are you doing here?" "You're Ivy's big brother. I'm here on her behalf." Hearing that it was Ivy who sent him, Dom's expression improved. Shawn couldn't take it anymore. Ivy was his wife! Why should Dom's emotions fluctuate because of her? "You should know, Ivy is my wife!" Dom was startled. Originally, he was still upset, but now, hearing Shawn assert his dominance, he immediately retorted, "So what? She will divorce you sooner or later." Shawn's face darkened. "What do you mean?" "Huh! Do you really think that after your identity is exposed, she can be with you?" Dom sneered. "Just wait, when the time comes for the divorce, I'll work things out..." "Get lost!" Shawn felt very unlucky! He came here with good intentions to persuade him, but unexpectedly, this guy was still trying to make a move on his wife. Did he have any conscience? "Let's not talk about the fact that I won't give you this opportunity. Even if Ivy temporarily separates from me because of this incident, do you think you have a chance?" "Why wouldn't I have a chance?" Dom was unconvinced. "I have no blood relationship with her!" "But she considers you her brother from the bottom of her heart!" Shawn became more and more triumphant as he spoke, especially seeing Dom's bewildered face, the childish desire to win between men made him look proud. Assistant Luke couldn't help but sigh in his heart. ‘How old was he? So childish!’ "Give yourself another hour of emo. After that, go downstairs. Your little sister is my wife, a delicate woman who might not be able to handle your mess alone." With that, Shawn signaled for Luke to take him away. It wasn't until their figures disappeared in the hallway that Dom reacted. Was he sick? Wasn't he here to comfort himself? Why did he feel even more uncomfortable!After Shawn vented for a while, he finally let Luke escort him back to the entrance of the operating room. Ivy was comforting Emma softly. Seeing Shawn's fatigued expression, she frowned. Just as she was about to go over, Luke received a call from Sanders. "Luke, I've received news. Harry is in the hands of Kevin Alter." The voice was neither loud nor soft, but it happened to reach Shawn's ears. "It seems it's time for Kevin to have tea." He said. Assistant Luke understood and immediately used Shawn's phone to dial Kevin Alter. The other party answered quickly. Assistant Luke couldn't help but wonder if Kevin was so idle now. Alter Group had cut off its financial resources, and he should be in a mess. Assistant Luke's suspicion was correct. Kevin was indeed busy and in a mess. However, after receiving the information and the address where Harry was, which Catherine had sent him before, Kevin was completely awake. Catherine asked him to watch Harry, not to let Cato take him away. Clearly, Kevin wanted more than just that. He didn't know the relationship between Harry and Cato, but since Catherine said it so seriously, it meant that Harry must have fatal evidence against Cato. Especially since Cato's men personally called to request Harry, it meant that the evidence in Harry's hands could make Cato die a miserable death. But Harry was Ivy's father. How could he... Kevin was caught in a dilemma because his father, Bob Alter, said that he should take advantage of Catherine's current difficulties and use Harry to blackmail Cato, at least to get funds to ease the situation of Alter Group. But Kevin was worried that doing so would make Ivy completely disgusted with him. "What are you waiting for? Cato has called himself. It proves that he needs Harry. You should go to the appointment now and extort some money!" "But Dad, if we protect Harry now, in the future, Catherine can also help us get through the financial crisis!" "You understand nothing!" Bob Alter sometimes really didn't know who Kevin resembled with his lack of backbone, "If Catherine had the ability, she wouldn't have been sent back to England by Cato and controlled by the Lambert family! The Lambert family is clearly afraid of Cato, don't you understand?" "I..." Kevin was still hesitating, and Bob Alter slapped him in anger, sitting down on the sofa. "Kevin, you have to understand that Cato is the one in power now. He can decide Catherine's life and death!" "Dad!" Kevin said in pain, "By doing this, I will let Ivy completely hate me!" "Snap!" Bob Alter slapped him again, "I gave birth to a genius like Cato, why did I give birth to a stupid son like you? You are indecisive, timid, and lack courage, simply embarrassing me!" "What's going on, huh? You're still thinking about Ivy? Ivy is already married! She'd rather choose a disabled person than be with you. Don't you understand?!" "But Dad!" Kevin covered his swollen face, still hesitating. His mind was filled with thoughts of how not to anger Ivy. He didn't even register his father's insults. Seeing his son's pathetic appearance, Bob Alter's hands and feet instantly turned cold. He didn't even know what sin he had committed to have such a child. "Dad, can you give me some time to think?" Kevin's voice once again provoked Bob's dissatisfaction. He trembled, wanting to continue hitting him, but the next moment, Tanya rushed into the entrance. Seeing Bob Alter's slap about to land, Tanya pounced, pulling Kevin away. "Dad! That's enough!" Tanya roared. Due to her anxiety, her eyes turned red. Her angry defense of Kevin looked like a protective mother cat, showing her claws. Bob Alter's hand trembled uncontrollably, and for a moment, he felt mixed emotions. Compared to his son, who was weak and unable to handle things, this prospective daughter-in-law was more ruthless and dominant. Even though her methods were sometimes low-level, at least she always knew how to climb up. Thinking of this, Bob Alter waved his hand and sighed, "Take him to rest." At these words, Tanya's piercing gaze instantly retracted. "Kevin, let's go." She said softly. "Wait." Bob Alter suddenly spoke, looking at Tanya, "How's the preparation for your wedding?"Tanya stood still at these words, her eyes wide. "..." If it weren't for her shamelessly insisting, he wouldn't even allow herself to call him dad, let alone talk about the wedding. Why was he suddenly changing his attitude? "Dad, can you let me think about it?" Kevin couldn't sit still. While he used to adhere to the "dragging tactic," waiting for Tanya to give up, he couldn't understand why the wind had changed. Kevin desperately signaled to his father, but Bob Alter pretended not to see. Alter Group had reached the end, the building was about to collapse, and now it was being suppressed by Cato. There was no way out. Legitimate wealthy women from noble families would never marry Kevin. Perhaps, Tanya was the most suitable for Kevin. She was aggressive, decisive, and ruthless. Maybe she could carve out a path in the precarious Alter Group. Thinking of this, Bob Alter decided to accelerate their wedding. "Tanya... Tomorrow, I will invite a wedding event organizer to the house and choose a good day for the wedding. As for your job, I suggest you quit and work at Alter Group. I will personally guide you." "Dad..." Tanya was almost horrified. She wanted to marry Kevin because she liked him, never thinking about snatching his career. But after a moment, she suddenly understood. Kevin couldn't handle the situation and needed her to charge into the battle for him. Suddenly, being acknowledged by Bob Alter moved Tanya deeply. Disregarding Kevin's gaze behind her, she nodded heavily toward Bob Alter. Bob Alter waved his hand. "It's late. Go rest." "Okay, then, Dad, you should rest early too." After saying these words, Tanya left with the dejected Kevin. Bob Alter sat on the sofa in the living room for a long time, thinking a lot and struggling with his decisions. In the end, he decided to call Cato Alter. ***
