Chapter 812 How Did You End Up Like This?

Michael was not around that day. Ivanka made herself at home. Sandy kept her company. They had a good chat. Sometimes, Sandy forced Ivanka to go to bed. It was almost evening when Sandy turned to Ivanka and asked with a smile, “Bestie, what do you want to eat?” “Anything.” Ivanka was not a picky eater. “Good. I’ll prepare dinner now.” “Thank you.” “Don’t mention it. I’ll remember the number of times I prepare meals for you. You’ll return the same favor in the future. As the saying goes, one has to return the favor by multiple folds. I’ll call someone to prepare the meals for you and in return, you’ll cook for me. Okay?” Sandy looked pleased as she said. Ivanka could not help but let out a bark of laughter. “You’re right.” Sandy was amused. She often had Ivanka treat her meals for free. Sandy said, “Fine. I’ll have someone to prepare the meal for you.” “Okay.” Sandy headed out. Meanwhile, Ivanka’s phone rang. When she saw the numbers, the smile in her eyes faded. She answered the call. “Why are you calling me?” “Ivanka, it’s been a while since we kept in touch. Are you free to come to my house?” Ivanka looked calm. “Aren’t you aware that I’m on a business trip?” It was Chiara. She might have called to sound Ivanka out. “On a business trip? I was suspended from work and was recently discharged from the hospital, so I wasn’t aware of this. I just came to work today.” “Congratulations! You finally returned to work. You need to stop being so reckless lest you’ll be criticized and suspended from work again.” Chiara had originally called to infuriate Ivanka. She did not expect Ivanka to put her on the spot and anger her instead. Chiara thought. “B*tch! F*cking b*tch!” She inhaled deeply and said, “Others may not understand me, but you know me well. Do you really think it happened due to my recklessness?” Ivanka chuckled. “I don’t know. Regardless, I hope you can learn from your mistakes and stop banging your head against the wall for the same event and person. That would only make you look stupid.” “B*tch!” Rage surged in Chiara’s heart. The next moment, she frowned and wondered. “What did she mean by banging my head against the wall for the same person? Did she find out something?” The next moment, Chiara shook her head. “That’s impossible. Ivanka couldn’t possibly know that I’m working together with a third party. Perhaps she overthought it.” Chiara said, “When are you coming back? Do come and visit us.” Ivanka grinned. “I heard that your family had sold the mansion and other properties. You’re staying in a rented apartment. Is Uncle Theodore running a big business? Why did you end up like this?” Chiara screamed, “What did you say?!” She thought. “Did she say my dad sold all his properties and made us stay in a rented apartment? How is this possible?!” Ivanka chuckled and said leisurely, “I don’t know. I only learned about this a couple of days ago during the business trip. Why are you living such a miserable life?” Chiara was furious. She wondered. “She only learned about this a couple of days ago during the business trip with Michael. Could it be that she was around when Evan told Michael about it? If Evan was the one who told Michael about it, then it has to be true!”
