Mr. Mysterious's Spontaneous Bride
Ivy's spirits lifted. "Where is he?" But unexpectedly, Dom put on a mysterious look and glanced at her meaningfully. "Go and ask your dear husband." "Shawn?" The gleam in Ivy's eyes instantly dimmed. Had Shawn captured Harry? Why didn't he tell her? Ivy had some doubts, but they quickly dissipated. Perhaps Shawn might hide things related to his identity from her, but she believed he wouldn't keep anything about Harry from her. With that in mind, Ivy looked deeply at Dom and said, "Tell me." He seemed momentarily surprised by her directness but then smiled. "You really trust him." Ivy replied, "He has no reason to hide this from me; it doesn't benefit him. I trust him in this matter." Dom couldn't keep up the teasing and his mood instantly soured. "Harry is in the hands of the Alter family. As for why it's related to Shawn, you go and ask him yourself." With that, he smiled mysteriously at Ivy and walked away. After Dom left, Ivy sat alone in a corner. Meanwhile, the argument between Lilith and Jasson continued without a break. Seeing her furrowed brows, a waiter, thinking she was overwhelmed, prepared a latte for her. Ivy stared at the latte's latte art, suddenly understanding various aspects. It was highly probable that the Alter family thought Harry possessed evidence against Cato and wanted to use him as leverage. Thinking about this, Ivy couldn't help but laugh out loud. She wondered what it was like when Cato retorted against the Alter family's threats. It must have been fierce, right? She heard that Cato, the CEO of DT Investments, was always a cold-faced demon. Besides having a mysterious whereabouts, he was also unpredictable. He didn't like to scold people but preferred to intimidate with his presence.People who tried to take advantage of him would only be dreaming. However... Where was Harry hidden? "Where's Shawn, Lawyer Brown?" She asked, breaking the silence. The two bickering individuals stopped, and Jasson subconsciously replied, "He's in a meeting at the company. The headquarters' senior executives have been waiting for him to make decisions." "Decisions?" Ivy didn't say anything, but Lilith sensed that something was wrong. "As an advisor, what decisions can he make?" Jasson shivered, realizing he misspoke. He hurriedly added, "It's essential for an advisor. Cato always consults him before making decisions." Ivy saw through it without saying anything. ‘He is really a busy man,’ she thought. After the teasing, she accepted it and didn't take any further action. Later, when Jasson and Lilith started arguing again, Ivy dialed Catherine's number. Since their last meeting, Catherine had been anticipating Ivy's call. Ivy's reaction during their previous interaction left Catherine feeling uneasy, and she had a strong intuition that Ivy was not as easily controllable as she initially thought. Quickly, Catherine pressed the answer button. "Dr. Lambert, are you available now?" Ivy asked in a low voice. "Just finished with a patient," Catherine replied calmly, with a smile." "Tomorrow night, we have a banquet and would like to invite Dr. Lambert to attend. It's the Livingston family banquet, firstly to celebrate my grandfather's recovery, secondly to announce the establishment of a charitable foundation, and thirdly, to formally introduce my husband to the public. There's a certain connection between Dr. Lambert and me, and if you're available, I hope you can attend as well." "Formally introduce your husband to the public?" Catherine instinctively tightened her grip on her phone. "Did your husband agree?" "He's very happy and looking forward to it." Ivy's shy and smiling reply made Catherine envious and embarrassed. Cato actually agreed? For this lowly woman, he was willing to completely give up his previous low profile and publicly declare his identity?! Catherine's other hand clenched the table edge, veins exposed, nails torn, but even so, it couldn't extinguish the fire in her heart. Why does Ivy have the right?! "By the way, Dr. Lambert, there will be reporters broadcasting that night. I know you're a psychologist and may not like facing reporters. If you can't make it, it's okay..." "Ivy, don't say that." Catherine forced back her anger and smiled gently. "I happen to be free, and I'll go. You can rest assured." "Okay, I'll send you the address later. I really hope Dr. Lambert can meet my husband. Only by seeing him with your own eyes can you better treat me." "Good." After uttering this word through gritted teeth, Catherine quickly changed the topic. "My patient has arrived. Let's talk later." If she continued, she was afraid she couldn't help but curse Ivy as a despicable woman. After hanging up the phone, Catherine called Kevin Alter. "What's the matter?" Kevin was also overwhelmed and preoccupied. Catherine looked down on a useless, selfish, and cowardly idiot like Kevin. "Where's Harry?" "You're back?" "Tell me where Harry is. I want to pick him up." "What are you going to do, Catherine?" Kevin was directly uneasy; this crazy woman could be unpredictable. No, usually, she was refined and elegant in her dealings with people. The only thing that drove her crazy was Cato Alter. Thinking of this, Kevin asked back, "What happened between you and Cato to make you suddenly so crazy?" "Kevin Alter, what qualification do you have to control me? Tell me Harry's address immediately, or I'll go to your Alter Group, and I'll chop you up! You've seen my methods! Hurry up if you don't want to die!" Catherine cursed at him with a string of vulgarities, causing Kevin to pull his phone away in disgust, as if the phone itself had become dirty. "Why does someone from the Lambert family, considered an influential family, speak so vulgarly?" He reminded Catherine of her status. However, saying this only made things worse, and Catherine exploded on the spot."Huh! Kevin Alter, you, the hypocritical pseudo-gentleman, dare to educate me? Your Alter family isn't even qualified to mention my family. In the past, your father killed his original wife, suppressing her beneath the foundation of the Alter Group. Do you think nobody knows? Even if the Lambert family lacks refinement, your family is not worthy of being called a scholarly family. A group of lice hiding in the gutter, pretending to be noble immortals! Disgusting!" "Catherine!" Kevin was not lightly angered by her words. "Don't use foul language!" "I use foul language?" Catherine sneered. "When he was young, you all bullied Cato because he had no power. Finally, when he obtained evidence, that shameless old rat, Bob Alter , plotted against him. Not only did he lose the evidence, but people also tried to kill him! Tigers don't eat their cubs, but is Bob Alter even human? He's a filthy rat, a louse in the gutter, forever avoiding the light!" "Catherine! You, you!" "Let me tell you, when I count to three, if you don't speak where Harry is, I'll kill you!" "Three!" "Two!" "Alright, I'll talk!" Kevin was intimidated by her momentum and reluctantly said, "I'll send you the address now." He quickly hung up the phone afterward. Catherine wasn't even angry at being abruptly hung up on. Dealing with a pseudo-gentleman like Kevin deserved violence. In this regard, she was most similar to Cato Alter. Cato also liked straightforward and violent methods. If it weren't for the ashes of his mother being suppressed under Alter Group and the scheming of Bob Alter, that old fox, Cato would have taken down the Alter Group long ago, without waiting until now! Cato Alter... Her clear eyes narrowed, waves churning at the bottom, a surging tide. She and Cato were the natural match. Even if Ivy, a country bumpkin turned into the Livingston family's daughter, she couldn't compare to Cato! She must completely ruin Ivy! ***
