Mr. Mysterious's Spontaneous Bride

Chapter 165 Shameless Lady

Kevin arrived at the coffee shop next to Alter Group, specifically using his identity as the future heir of Alter Group to choose a bright yet quiet spot. He initially thought about renting the cafe for half a day and clearing out all the customers. But on second thought, if all the customers left, who would witness his love with Ivy? Ivy... Did she come to seek reconciliation? If she really spoke up, how should he respond? He should be excited, jumping three feet high. No, he must manage his facial expressions, must maintain the demeanor of a wealthy young master. Kevin waited nervously in the coffee shop for Ivy's arrival. An hour later, the coffee shop door opened, and Ivy entered expressionlessly. Kevin excitedly waved at her and stood up to pull out a chair for her. "Ivy, over here," he softly guided Ivy, gesturing for her to sit. Ivy stood in place, not saying a word for a long time. Her cold water-like gaze stared at him, and the darkness within made Kevin's heart inexplicably uneasy. ‘Does she know about me and Lisa?’ Kevin wondered in his mind. "Ivy?" Startled by her appearance, he tentatively called out. But in the next moment, Ivy raised her hand and slapped Kevin across the face. The force behind the slap seemed to carry a thousand pounds of resentment, causing Kevin's face to tilt to the side. Only now did Kevin understand. Ivy knew about his involvement with Lisa. All the surrounding customers were drawn by the slap, and Kevin endured the pain, preparing to help her take a seat. Ivy shook off his hand."Kevin, when did you start with Lisa?" Ivy got straight to the point. She wasn't a foolish person. Without concrete evidence proving that Kevin was the mastermind behind her failed surgery, she wouldn't expose these things, as it would tip him off. She only needed to confirm the authorization between Kevin and Lisa. Once she had that, it was almost certain that Kevin was the one who covered up the accident all those years ago. "Ivy, whatever happened between me and Lisa is in the past. Please sit down, and let's talk about it calmly, okay?" Ivy pushed his hand away, standing in place, looking at him with a cold gaze. Kevin was shocked by her expression and knew that if he didn't say something, Ivy would make a bigger scene. Thinking of this, Kevin lowered his head and said in a low voice, "At that time, I was helpless. I loved you so much, and I was young and impulsive. But you wouldn't let me touch you, and I needed an outlet, so... I was drugged by her." Ivy sneered, "You are really naive. For so many years, being drugged by her every time?” "Ivy, don't say that." Kevin, seeing her getting louder, hurriedly reached out to cover her mouth. But the next second, Ivy directly slapped the other side of his face. With a loud "smack," the surrounding customers stood up and crowded around them, ready to watch the spectacle. The guests were puzzled. Why did this man get slapped twice by the woman, yet he still wore a pleasing expression? Moreover, this man looked oddly familiar. And also! This woman seemed familiar too! "Isn't this Kevin Alter, the future heir of Alter Group?" Suddenly, a shout came from the crowd. Following that, another astonished voice broke through someone's throat, and in an instant, people around began pointing and whispering. Very well, one already married, and one about to get married, silently rekindling their old flame. Ivy noticed the change in the surroundings, and with her eyes glancing around, she asked again, "So, on the night of the surgery three years ago, when I was nervous, were you having a romantic time with Lisa in the hotel?" Upon hearing this, Kevin froze in shock, his eyes wandering and confused, hollow yet stunned."Ivy, you... do you know everything?" His voice was weak, filled with hesitation and uncertainty, even with a hint of probing. Of course, Ivy knew what he was thinking. She coldly chuckled, "No wonder you rushed back that day in a panic. It turns out it was because of what happened afterward... So, all your declarations of love were actually lies." As Ivy accused him, Kevin silently speculated in his heart about how much more she knew. Until Ivy finished speaking, he sighed with relief, realizing she only knew about his affair. He turned and handed a card to the waiter, saying, "I'll book this place for an hour, clear out everyone first." The waiter followed the instructions, and within a few minutes, the vast coffee shop was left with only Ivy and Kevin. Kevin carefully poured a glass of water for Ivy, and she subtly dialed Tanya's number. On the other end of the phone, Tanya shouted for a long time without hearing any response. Just as she was about to hang up, she coincidentally heard Kevin's voice. "At that time, we had been dating for quite a while. You were the school's princess. You don't know how excited I was to be with you." Ivy sneered, "Excited enough to climb into Lisa's bed. You are truly excited." "Ivy, don't say that." Kevin, hearing her accusations, covered his face with both hands. "Every time I wanted to be intimate with you, you refused. Ivy, I am also a man with needs. I..." At this point, he couldn't continue. Ivy looked at him, seeing his clownish appearance, and felt a profound irony thinking about the sweet words he once said. "So, you were with Tanya at that time, right?" "Of course not!" Kevin vehemently denied. "She's like a plague, clinging to you and me, as if she can't survive without us. I really hate her!" "It's quite ridiculous when you think about it," Ivy tugged at the corner of her mouth. "The person you hate the most turns out to be the one with whom you had the most thrilling moments. Your intimate scenes were even broadcast live..." "Stop talking about it," Kevin couldn't stand the thought of being manipulated by Tanya like that. "It's my shame." "Don't say that. You are about to marry her. How can you call your future wife a shame?" Ivy toyed with the water glass in her hand, her eyes devoid of warmth."She is not my wife," Kevin said. "I have never acknowledged her as my wife. Ivy, even if I marry her, she doesn't deserve to be my wife. She's not even worthy of carrying my shoes." Ivy suddenly tightened her grip on the water glass and looked up at him. Thinking about how classmates and the media praised Kevin as a cultured and modest heir, Ivy couldn't help but feel a profound irony. Most likely, he had pretended too well in the past, and now, being forced into a corner, he couldn't keep up the act. For her, looking at this ex-boyfriend, she had no nostalgia since the moment they broke up. So, there was no need to filter broken or unbroken images. It was Tanya... Her peripheral vision glanced subtly at her phone. Ivy said, "I have something to do. I'm leaving. I wish you an early and blessed marriage." "Ivy..." Kevin looked disappointed. He thought she came to find him, risking exposure by reporters, because of true love. However, in the end, she just slapped him and was about to leave. Ivy didn't have to consider the consequences of being seen here. Since the moment she decided to come here, she was well aware that, no matter how big the fuss today, Shawn would never allow these news to leave the coffee shop. Back in the parking lot, seeing that Tanya had not hung up the phone, she asked casually, "Haven't heard enough?" However, Tanya remained silent for a while, followed by intense gasping, seemingly suppressing tears. Ivy was patient, waiting for her to regain composure. Sure enough, a few minutes later, Tanya said, "Ivy, I know what you want to do. If you want to break up me and Kevin, give up that idea." "Why would I want to break you up?" Ivy sneered. "I just want to see what you'll become after knowing everything. Will you choose to continue being the shameless lady of the Alter family?" ***
