Chapter 820 Mysterious Person

Lyla’s expression changed instantly! The mysterious person who contacted Chiara was plotting to kill Ivanka! If Ivanka were to die, Lane’s Group would be in trouble! Lyla started to panic. Theodore looked puzzled as he asked them, “What are you talking about?” Lyla had never told Theodore about the mysterious person because she did not want him to get involved, mainly to avoid his interference in this matter. She was afraid that Theodore might contact that mysterious person again. Before she could think too much about it, Chiara directly explained the situation to him. Theodore was stunned. He frowned and said in a low voice, “You’re actually involved with someone in this kind of scheme?!” Chiara pursed her lips and stayed silent. Lyla said helplessly, “We couldn’t clear Chiara’s suspicion at that time. If it weren’t for that person, Chiara would still be hiding in the mental hospital. Do you want our daughter to continue living in that kind of situation?” Theodore frowned even more, “Did you check the person’s background? Is that person reliable? Why didn’t you discuss such a big thing with me?” Lyla, already angry, scoffed when she heard this, “Wow, this is unbelievable. You were solely focused on infiltrating Barkworth’s Group before. When did you ever think about us? All you could think about was profits! And now you dare to question us?” Chiara felt hurt as she let out a bitter laugh. Theodore fell silent. He realized there was nothing more to say. Everyone else also fell silent, except for Chiara. She was seething with anger. She wished Ivanka was dead! But why had things turned out this way? Did she have to defend her? But she had already made a promise to that mysterious person. If she backed out, would that person turn against her? At that moment, Chiara was at a loss for what to do. Lyla looked at her and comforted, “We’re not at the end of the road yet. Let’s take it one step at a time. We’ll eventually overcome all these challenges!” ... Meanwhile, Ivanka and Sandy had just finished dinner. Sandy had already cleaned up the table. She sat comfortably in a chair by Ivanka’s bed with her legs crossed. “Man, it feels great to eat and drink until you’re totally satisfied! Ah, wouldn’t it be awesome to just laze around and eat every day until we’re old and gray?” Ivanka chuckled. “Well, it’s not like it’s impossible.” “Ugh... but I still need to find a guy, get married, and have a cute baby! I was scrolling through my phone today and saw this family all dressed in matching outfits and strolling around like a happy trio. Man, I really want that!” Sandy’s face was filled with longing as she spoke. Ivanka was surprised at how fast Sandy changed her mind. Just a couple of days ago, she talked about wanting to stay single for life and how men were unreliable and wanted both of them to adopt a baby together. But now, she talked about finding a man to have a child with. Ivanka shook her head in resignation and decided to say nothing. After scrolling through her phone for a while, Sandy noticed Ivanka was smiling faintly. She asked curiously, “You seem in a good mood today. Spill it! I want to feel happy too.” Ivanka smiled and recounted her recent call with Chiara. She then added, “I bet they just had a big fight. Chiara must be feeling really crappy right now.” Sandy was shocked. “Oh my God! Theodore actually has the guts to try and crack Barkworth’s Group’s secrets?!”
