Mr. Mysterious's Spontaneous Bride

Chapter 51 Lottery

Shawn and his assistant, who were drinking water at the moment, both spat out their water and began to cough violently. A million-dollar piece of bracelet was just casually given away, and Grandma Winston clearly didn't consider herself as a poor person! Grandma Winston rolled her eyes at the two uncooperative individuals and decided to ignore them. She turned to Ivy and explained with a smile, "Lilith is right; this bracelet was specially prepared by me." "Grandmother, I can't accept this gift." The price of the bracelet left Ivy speechless. One million seemed like a lifetime of savings for her grandmother. "Cough!" Shawn, who was sitting nearby, coughed lightly, interrupting Grandma Winston. "If you're sick, go outside. Don't infect my Ivy." Grandma Winston scolded him with irritation. Oh no! Grandma Winston suddenly realized that she had forgotten her character for today, which was supposed to be middle-class. Grandma Winston panicked, standing still and wondering how to cover up this lie. But before she could respond, Ivy asked, "Grandma, where did you buy this bracelet? It's too expensive; I can't let you overspend like this." "It's not overspending, it's not overspending, this bracelet...," Grandma Winston stuttered for a while and finally said, "It was won in a lottery." Then she lowered her head, afraid to look at her granddaughter-in-law. Who would believe this lie? But this time, Lilith did. "Grandma, so you're the mysterious person who won the lottery!" Lilith shook her phone, showing a news article about a mysterious person who won a million-dollar bracelet. "It happened last month." She forwarded the news to Ivy, who finally relaxed her tense expression. "Ivy, just accept it. It's your grandmother's sincere gesture," Lilith persuaded her."Ivy, please accept it," Emma echoed. "Take good care of it. If you really feel like you can't repay it, then hurry up and heal Shawn's leg. Once Shawn's leg is better, you can give your grandma a pair of great-grandchildren as a way to repay her." Ivy, feeling resigned, could only accept the gift. "Well, thank you, Grandma." Grandma Winston happily held Ivy's hand, patted it, and gently touched it. "In the future, consider this bracelet a family heirloom for my great-grandchildren." Ivy's breath hitched. Being pressured to have children by two matchmaking elders, she found it difficult to resist. She stood up and said, "I'll go to the restroom." Without waiting for the elders to respond, she left the private dining room, feeling somewhat suffocated. She didn't want children! Because she knew she wouldn't be a good mother. Ivy didn't want her child to replicate her life after birth; that would be too cruel for the child. So, if she couldn't promise to take good care of her child, she'd rather not have one. She wandered through the hotel lobby with a heavy heart, and her gaze collided with a familiar figure. "Oh, isn't this Doctor ‘Poor’ Jones?" There, Tanya stood at the entrance under the company of her colleagues, laughing with an air of confidence. Ivy stopped in her tracks and sneered, "Isn't this the new rising star of porn sites?" Tanya's face turned pale for a moment but quickly regained her composure. She gracefully walked towards Ivy, scrutinizing her as she said, "It's a good coincidence that I met you today. This is my engagement invitation. Please make time to attend." Ivy opened the invitation and saw a cartoon illustration of Tanya and her fiancé--Kevin Alter, sharing a kiss. She smiled faintly, "Couldn't the photographer capture a real kiss for you? Did you have to resort to an unrealistic cartoon?" Upon hearing this, Tanya's face lost its color again. The expressions of her colleagues around her were mixed, but she stubbornly retorted, "You hick, what do you know? The Alter Group is well-known in the city. If we used real photos and someone copied them, it could lead to significant losses. Do you understand?" Ivy suddenly became sharp-tongued, and Tanya almost couldn't keep up with her. No, she had to regain her ground, especially in front of Alter's employees. So she continued, "Dr. Jones, I know that Kevin is your ex-boyfriend, but that's all in the past. It's your fault that you come from an unfavorable background. You used every method to marry into a wealthy family, but despite your efforts, our dad didn't agree. I feel sorry for you, but don't be too sad. If your husband doesn't succeed, feel free to come to me. We have several single drivers in Alter Group, and I can introduce you." "Dad? Which dad?" Ivy closed the invitation. "Is it Kevin's dad, or your invisible tycoon dad?" "Of course, it's my two dads!" Tanya hesitated at the end, and her tone wavered. She avoided Ivy's scrutinizing gaze and continued, "You know, last night, Uncle Bob already let me call him 'Dad.' I just couldn't hold back..." Ivy's gaze swept over the group of sycophantic colleagues behind Tanya. She leaned closer to Tanya's ear and whispered softly, "I heard that your 'Dad' is just an ordinary employee, and you're not from a wealthy family. You know, the reason Chairman Alter agreed to have you in the Alter family was because of your financial backing. If he found out..." Upon hearing Ivy's words, Tanya's delicate makeup seemed to crack. "Who said that?!" She glared angrily. "Who's spreading rumors? My dad... my dad is just busy." Ivy raised an eyebrow and smiled gently, "That's good, then." "Ivy, if my dad doesn't show up at the engagement ceremony, there's only one reason, and that's because he's going abroad for a meeting. Instead of worrying about me, you should worry about yourself. In case your husband doesn't find a job and needs my help." Insulted by her words, Ivy wasn't even angry. She silently put the invitation into her bag. "In that case, I look forward to being amazed at Dr. Tanya Potts' engagement ceremony." After saying this, she didn't wait for Tanya's response and returned to her own private dining room. Grandma Winston was sharing the story of how she first met Ivy with the others. "At the time, Ivy came to the welfare home with the doctors from the Ordinary Clinic for free check-up. I observed this girl for several days; she worked tirelessly, never lost her temper, while that so-called Chief Doctor, was almost driven me to anger. He does nothing but gives orders." "One day, a patient named Mr. Allen suddenly went into shock. It was Ivy who performed CPR and prepared for artificial respiration. It wasn't easy, but she managed to save him. However, that Dr. Ticko actually took all the credit. Now, Mr. Allen believes it was all thanks to Dr. Ticko, and he's always thinking about thanking him!" Grandma Winston spoke with concern for Ivy. “Fortunately, Ivy didn't hold grudges. After the charity clinic ended, she continued to come to the welfare home as a volunteer.” Thinking of this, Grandma Winston squeezed Ivy's hand and comforted her softly, "Next time we go for the charity clinic, I'll make sure they know that you're the real hero behind the scenes." Ivy fell silent and asked, "Grandma, do you have Mr. Allen's contact information?" "I do!" Grandma Winston immediately handed Ivy Mr. Allen's contact information. "Ivy, what are you planning to do?" "Grant his wish," Ivy replied with a smile. ***
