Lionel's sober mind told him that he didn't need to have any kind of patience with Ivy anymore. Anyway, she had received the break-up fee she had demanded. From now on, he didn't have any liability toward her.
But upon seeing the mysterious expression on her face and thinking about what she had said, he couldn't help but engage in bewilderment.
"Ivy, what on earth do you know? Don't keep me guessing, okay?"
He felt puzzled and curious, wondering what were the secrets she knew.
The pendentive light shone on her like a spotlight. She smiled happily and freely. Her grinning face made others think that Lionel, who sat opposite to her, was amusing her.
'What do I know? What I know is enough to shock the Tang family, ' she thought to herself satisfyingly.
A few days ago, a distinguished guest had come to Amanda's studio: A handsome man with peach blossoming eyes. Amanda's assistant had tried to stop him, but he strode straight to Amanda's office. As the door shut behind him, Ivy heard Amanda speaking to him in a completely frightened tone.
Ivy had never heard Amanda like that before. She even caught a glimpse of her face. Her eyes were wide and full of fear.
Ivy was intrigued by Amanda's unusual behaviour. She returned to her desk, listening intently to the muffled voices.
The voices were unclear but urgent, as if a quarrel was taking place between the two. Amanda was shrieking but the man's voice was too low to be heard.
Even so, Ivy concluded the man had the ability to frighten Amanda.
'Who was he? What was his identity? What did he have to do with her? Amanda has always appeared as a calm, confident individual. It is shocking to see her flapping like this in the presence of that man, ' she wondered.
When the door finally opened, Ivy pretended to walk past it with a pile of documents in her hands, and bumped into him unintentionally, scattering all the documents over the floor.
The man apologised politely to her, helping her pick up all the documents.
Looking at his gentle and elegant smile, Ivy didn't feel scared at all. How could Amanda be scared of someone like him?
"Thank you, sir. Are you... a friend of Miss Ke?"
Ivy spoke to him boldly with a curious expression on her face.
Clark flashed a smile at her, scanning her face intently.
'Isn't this Lionel's ex-girlfriend? I've observed her before. She is very cunning. Anyone who didn't know her would be easily fooled by her innocent face. Even now, she is pretending to be innocent. Does she really think I'd be deceived by her appearance? She seems to be way more interested than what I've imagined, ' he thought.
