Mr. Mysterious's Spontaneous Bride

Chapter 159 Biggest Misfortune

Soon after, Ivy and Emma brought meals to the hospital. While the family of four was having dinner, Andy mentioned his plan to host a banquet. Ivy and Emma were hesitant to object, but considering the patient's well-being, their opposition was ineffective. "What's wrong? Why do you look so unhappy?" Ivy couldn't help but ask when she saw Shawn's melancholic expression. Of course, Shawn couldn't tell the truth. Doing so would jeopardize everything. "It's nothing. The disinfectant in the hospital is a bit uncomfortable. I'm going out for some fresh air," he said with a smile. After getting Ivy's approval, Shawn asked his assistant to accompany him as they left. Assistant Luke escorted him to the Garden Hotel, where Sanders had been waiting with a stack of documents for a long time. "Mr. Tate, Assistant Luke, I've made a major discovery," Sanders said excitedly, his tiger teeth gleaming. "Our people interrogated Charlie and his family rigorously. Finally, we got information from a nurse who participated in the surgery three years ago.” Assistant Luke asked, "Where is she?" "In England." Sanders handed the information to Luke. "Three years ago, after the incident with Mrs. Tate, this nurse resigned and immigrated to Preston, England. We found her address and have already sent someone to apprehend her. I learned that this nurse was very poor, with a troubled family background. However, after moving to Preston with her family, she became a local celebrity, living extravagantly. I suspect she received hush money." Shawn flipped through the information, a hint of surprise in his eyes. "When can we bring her back?" Luke checked the real-time updates on his phone. "Oh, they are moving in right away." Sanders leaned in, but Luke swatted his hand away. "Continue reporting!" Sanders rubbed his head. "Charlie said that this nurse was once hired by Kevin as an assistant... and..." Shawn furrowed his brows. "Bed companion?" "No," Sanders shook his head. "It's a 'friends with benefits' relationship." Shawn: "..." "Heh, I underestimated that fool. He may not be good at carrying the family banner, but he's quite skilled at infidelity," Luke remarked. "Be more specific."Sanders continued, "Charlie said that every time he had a rendezvous with the nurse, Kevin would secretly give her a sum of money. On the night before the surgery, Charlie said that Kevin secretly met with the nurse in a hotel..." "So..." Luke didn't dare to dwell on the matter too much, feeling that it was all too absurd. Could the well-behaved Kevin really do such absurd things? "What's the nurse's name?" Shawn threw the information in his hand, rubbing his temples where a headache was forming. If it turned out that Kevin almost ruined Ivy's life because of a date with a girl, he would definitely not let him off! "Charlie said Kevin called her Lisa." "Lisa...?" Luke suddenly widened his eyes in horror. "Mr. Tate, this Lisa couldn't be..." "It's her!" Jasson's low growl came from outside the door, and then the three saw him burst in. "Shawn, it's Lisa Kurtis!" Handing over Lisa's photos from over a decade ago to Shawn, he also showed the pictures from Sanders' information. "These two are the same person." "Plastic surgery?" Shawn carefully examined the photos of the woman whose appearance was completely different, the only explanation being plastic surgery. "Yes. Shawn, do you remember? After your car accident, when you were in the hospital, that nurse named Lisa put something in your medicine that made you almost unable to stand up. It's this woman. Our people spent a long time investigating her, but we found out that she used a fake identity at City A First Hospital, and she shaved 15 years off her age. We didn't waste any more time on her. Now it seems that Charlie knew Lisa's identity long ago." Shawn played with the photos in his hand. "15 years... Kevin has quite the appetite. He seems to be interested in older women too." "Never mind his appetite. The key is that the person who harmed you years ago is the same person who harmed Dr. Jones three years ago. Now that it's all connected, we must catch Lisa Kurtis." Sanders checked his phone. "She's already been caught, Mr. Tate, Lawyer Brown. You two should get ready to meet her tomorrow." Shawn nodded expressionlessly, but his heart was already in turmoil.In twists and turns, a Lisa managed to connect everyone, leaving him with mixed feelings. "I won't leave today. I must wait here until Lisa returns. I want to see for myself what kind of woman could harm you and entangle Kevin," Jasson said eagerly. "As long as she hasn't appeared in front of us, there's still room for variables." Shawn instructed Sanders and Luke's special assistant, "Be careful when bringing her back." "Yes." Shawn's concern was not unfounded. When Lisa was caught, her family had already relayed the message to Kevin's side. Sitting on the sofa, he listened to his subordinates' reports, feeling genuinely uneasy. However, on the surface, he had to maintain a calm demeanor. "I understand," he said, then quickly hung up the phone, just as Tanya entered. Today was the day her father turned himself in, and all she could do was use her own means to hire the best lawyer within her reach to seek a reduced sentence for him. However, she wasn't part of the Alter family conglomerate, and top-notch lawyers weren't willing to get involved in such muddy waters. Seeing Kevin sitting dazed on the sofa, she walked over and sat across from him. "Today, the lawyer said that the social impact of Dad's case is extremely negative, and there's no way to reduce his sentence." She whispered to Kevin, but he seemed to be in his own world, oblivious to her words. "Kevin, can I use your resources to find a better lawyer for Dad?" "Kevin?" "Kevin!" A low growl filled with anger thundered, finally pulling Kevin's thoughts back. Staring coldly at the woman in front of him, he said, "This is your own fault, nothing to do with Alter Group. If I use the face of the Alter Group to hire a top lawyer, I'll owe that lawyer a favor. Likewise, if the lawyer loses the case because of this, it will be difficult for Alter Group to cooperate with him in the future." "But he's my dad, your father-in-law, we're family. How can you be so heartless?" "Father-in-law?" Kevin loosened his tie, sneering. "If he sees me as his son-in-law, he should know that I never want Ivy to suffer. What about you? You carefully planned all of this, pushing her to the brink of death. If I help you, who will help Ivy? Am I fair to Ivy?" "Ivy, Ivy... you claim to love her so much, consider her in everything, why not marry her?" The pent-up frustration erupted at this moment. Tanya was distressed and indignant, no longer willing to compromise, "If you love her so much, be faithful to her until death, why entangle yourself with that nurse?" "What are you saying?!" Kevin's heart shook suddenly. "I don't understand what you mean." "Don't play dumb, Kevin." Tanya sneered, rushing to him, grabbing his tie, and cursing in a low voice, "That Lisa Kurtis, is 15 years older than you, how could you do that? Weren't you pledging an unwavering commitment to Ivy, never to part? Yet, you turned around and climbed into someone else's bed. Kevin, you're just a hypocrite, and you're my biggest misfortune!" "Slap!" The crisp sound of applause echoed in the hall. Soon, clear finger marks appeared on Tanya's fair face. "Shut up!" Kevin shouted angrily. ***
