Chapter 885 What Was It She Did Not Care About

After Ivanka finished talking, she had no intention to say anything else. Her implications were clear. Michael frowned. His expression grew increasingly sullen. He stared at Ivanka. Then, he finally spoke in front of everyone. “Why do you think I should believe you?” Ms. Lynch was a bit shocked. The employees in the conference room were also surprised. But the next moment, everyone was happy! If Michael questioned Ivanka like this, then it proved that Michael was also suspicious of Ivanka. It would be even harder for Ivanka to stay in this company! That was good for them! Ms. Lynch’s mood was so much better. Her confidence was no longer faltering like before. Instead, she looked at Ivanka and sneered. “Ms. Ivanka, the best thing to do now is to explain yourself properly. If you continue to keep being stubborn and acting holier-than-thou, then this might not end well for you.” If not for the fact that this was not the right place to do so, she wanted to just say, “Stop being so arrogant. You have no right to do so!” Ivanka looked at Michael. His cold gaze was almost like he was telling her that as long as she did not explain, he would really cancel their collaboration. Ivanka sneered. She did not want to get angry with him at this moment and just said softly, “No matter how much property Barkworth’s Group owns, I don’t care.” The crowd immediately gave a cold snort in their hearts. They did not trust Ivanka at all. Ms. Lynch just called her holier-than-thou, and Ivanka was immediately beginning to act like it. Did she not care? The amount of property that Barkworth’s Group owned was way beyond a person’s imagination. Even up to this point, the people still did not know how rich Michael really was! But Ivanka actually said she did not care! They just wanted to laugh at Ivanka. And the next moment, Ivanka said coolly, “If I wanted your money, I wouldn’t have chosen to split with you without asking for any money.” The crowd was shocked. She actually divorced Michael without taking anything? She even said it in front of Michael. Things like this could be fact-checked if they wanted to. So Ivanka was probably not lying. The people’s eyes were filled with scrutiny and surprise as they stared at Ivanka. Immediately after that, Ivanka then said, “If I wanted to, I could have taken 50% of your assets from you.” The crowd’s expressions looked a little more complicated. In the event of a divorce and if they had not signed any agreement before marriage, the couple’s assets would be split in half. The fact that Ivanka could talk about it like that proved that they had not signed any agreement before their marriage. Half of Michael’s family fortune was a number that no one could imagine, yet Ivanka said she did not care. Actually, that sounded completely par for the course for Ivanka. Then, if she did not even want to take Michael’s property, why would she need to go through all the trouble of cooperating with Jonah to acquire Barkworth’s Group’s secrets? Even if Ivanka could get a lot of money by stealing the secret, it was clear to everyone that Ivanka could only get one or two percent of the money even if she did. This was not as much as half of Michael’s property. For a moment, everyone fell speechless. On Michael’s end, his gaze, which had become warmer, suddenly turned much grimmer. When he heard her say that she did not care, he felt Ivanka not only meant that she did not care about his money, she was also referring to him.
