Mr. Mysterious's Spontaneous Bride
While Lilith went to the bathroom, Ivy, with a hint of calculation in her heart, called Kevin. "I want to ask you something," Ivy said. "Ivy, you... do you know everything?" Kevin's voice on the other end trembled. "Back then, it really didn’t, because I didn’t love you. I..." "Kevin, is your brother Cato Alter sitting in a wheelchair?" "My brother...?" Kevin then realized what she was talking about. "He betrayed the Alter Corporation and doesn't deserve to be my brother." Ivy tightened her grip on the phone and asked again, "Is Cato sitting in a wheelchair?" "How do you know?" This matter was rarely talked about, coupled with Cato's self-esteem, and he didn't like appearing in public, so not many people knew about him using a wheelchair. "It's nothing." Ivy hung up the phone, feeling a sense of oppression in her chest that she couldn't ease. Sitting in a wheelchair, how coincidental for both the boss and the employee to use wheelchairs? Blaming herself for not being more observant, she might have noticed it sooner. "Lilith, I'll take you back first. I have something to deal with." She returned to the hospital where Andy was. Her mother was peeling apples for her grandfather, while Dom was handling some business on the side. The atmosphere was harmonious and warm. "Ivy is back. Come and have some fruit," Andy waved, and Emma handed an apple to Ivy. Sitting beside Dom, Ivy's eyes were deep. "Grandpa, have you ever met Cato Alter?" As soon as the words were spoken, Andy, holding the apple, almost instinctively locked eyes with Dom. "Why do you suddenly ask about this?" Ivy saw through the situation but chose not to reveal it, giving a faint smile. "I was just curious. According to Shawn, Grandpa has had a few encounters with them, and I thought you might have met.""We have indeed met..." Andy, caught off guard by his granddaughter's gaze, quickly shifted his attention. "Oh, Dom, tell Ivy good news!" he urged Dom. Dom coughed lightly and explained, "I mentioned it to you before; Grandpa will be discharged in a few days. So, we will host a banquet to celebrate the successful surgery. Besides that, we will announce the establishment of our charity foundation." Ivy's gaze deepened. "Wasn't it announced already?" Dom, feeling uneasy, adjusted his glasses and cleared his throat. "This time, we have special arrangements. Apart from the charity foundation, we'll officially introduce you and Shawn to the public. You know, you've been married to Shawn for quite some time, and the outside world only knows that H Capital has a new heiress but doesn't know about a grandson-in-law." "Sure." Ivy nodded decisively. "But I also want to invite someone to attend." "Lilith will surely attend as a family member," Andy assumed she meant Lilith. Unexpectedly, Ivy shook her head. "Someone else." "Name?" "Keep it confidential for now. She will be the mysterious guest." Seeing that Ivy was unwilling to say more, the grandfather and grandson stopped asking questions. Meanwhile, the charming nurse Lisa, who was rumored to have conquered Kevin, was finally extradited back to the city. Luke arranged for her to meet in the presidential suite of the Garden Hotel, while Shawn and Jasson listened to the commotion outside from the study in the lobby. Assistant Luke looked at the emaciated Lisa, who couldn't be considered a beauty, and felt a sense of emotion in his heart. In the end, was it because Kevin was too desperate that he could be attracted to someone like her? However, her figure was indeed good, with a slim waist and long legs, but unfortunately, beauty fades with time. "Assistant Luke, it's time to start," Sanders reminded him softly. Assistant Luke looked back to reality.However, he didn't rush to speak. Instead, he asked Sanders to play several video clips in front of him. Originally, Lisa, who was facing them with disdain, turned her face away and cursed them vehemently. "Do you know that what you're doing is illegal? Nowadays, it's a society under the rule of law!" With each video segment played, Lisa's dignity crumbled completely. In the videos, her family in Europe was shown being locked inside their home, crying for help but receiving no response. "Your younger brother bullied a classmate in a third-rate university in City A a year ago, leading the classmate to jump off a building and die. The school suppressed the incident, and he fled to Preston to join you. The family of the deceased received a substantial compensation, and the matter was dropped..." In the study, Shawn and Jasson, accompanied by Luke's narration, slid through the scenes on their iPads, witnessing the sordid deeds of Lisa's family. "Your sister got pregnant three years ago while still underage. She didn't dare tell you and secretly went to a small clinic for an abortion. However, her uterus was removed, rendering her infertile for life. You, on the other hand, took your whole family to vandalize the clinic and also beat up the father of the child. Surprisingly, this matter was eventually swept under the rug..." "Shut up!" Lisa shouted, "Release them immediately, or I won't spare you! England is a society under the rule of law!" "Tsk..." Luke sneered, "Rule of law society? Even at this point, you're still playing the card of selling out the country for personal gain. You speak of the rule of law society, yet how come I've witnessed so many of your illegal activities?" Displaying her personal information by her side, Luke continued, "I thought you were a senior nurse in Preston, but unexpectedly, three years ago, you underwent a transformation and became a nurse at City A First Hospital. You really have skills--able to work as a nurse in Preston and in City A. Did Kevin Alter grant you these privileges, or did you manage it yourself?" Hearing the three words "Kevin Alter," Lisa's body instinctively stiffened, and her face turned pale. "I... I don't know what you're talking about!" "You'll know soon enough!" Assistant Luke sneered. Just as he was about to continue, Shawn's message popped up. "Come in." Following the command, Assistant Luke entered the study. Shawn's gaze remained fixed on the iPad screen showing the woman's image and her family in Preston."Tonight, make sure she confesses. Don't use the gradual approach. Connect her with her relatives in Preston. Let her watch her family being tormented. Just as she treated me back then, let her see how we treat her family, until she spills everything she knows." Luke immediately grasped his boss's intention, "Alright, Mr. Tate, I guarantee your satisfaction!" He quickly exited the study and instructed Sanders to make a call to the people in Preston. Shortly after, the large screen in the room flickered to life, displaying Lisa's family bound together on the central sofa. ***
