At one oclock in the morning, Ivy Taylor entered the house.
Thomas Taylor and Linda Ryan were still not resting, both sitting on the sofa in the living room, waiting for her.
Ivy Taylors heart dropped, and she called out "Dad" and "Auntie."
"Why are you back so late?"
Thomas frowned, "A girl, playing outside so late, what does it look like?"
Seeing this, Linda hurriedly advised, "Honey, dont be angry first. Ivy has always been a child with a sense of propriety and wont mess around outside, right, Ivy ?"
"Hum, you are going to be engaged to William next month. If something goes wrong at this critical moment, do you want me to lose face with you?"
Ivy Taylors heart was messy.
The conservative, rigid, and strict father, the stepmother who is sarcastic and flattering to kill.
Almost every day, everything, every topic, will follow this fixed pattern.
Usually, she feels very suffocated, so most of the time she would rather live in the studio for peace and quiet, and even when she goes home, she doesnt like to argue.
But tonight, Ivy Taylor encountered the first "almost subversive" tragedy in her twenty-four years of life——
She bit her lip and simply said, "Dad, I want to break up with William Shen."
Thomass face changed: "Say that again?"
"You heard me right."
Ivy Taylor turned away.
"You! Do you know what the relationship between the Shen family and us is? How many project interests are related between our two families? Can you just propose the breakup?"
Thomas was so angry that his veins were jumping.
Ivy Taylor: "But Im the one living the life."
After that, she turned and went upstairs.
The shower in the bathroom was turned to the maximum to just cover the scolding from Thomas downstairs and the instigation from Linda.
Ivy Taylors eyes were sour, and tears gushed out and were quietly washed away by the hot water.
How could she act on impulse like this?
She has been with William Shen for so long, and the two have only limited themselves to holding hands and kissing.
She never thought of giving her body before her wedding night.
Or in a fit of anger, with another man...
Noah Carter, he knew that she was William Shens fiancée and did not refuse.
But its no wonder, that man has never been afraid of anything since he was a child.
After coming out of the bathroom, Ivy Taylor, wearing her pajamas, came to the computer desk.
On it was a business card that Noah had stuffed into her tonight.
[North Trust Law Firm Partner - Noah Carter]
Ivy Taylor turned on the computer and wanted to search for some information about Noah and his North Trust Law Firm.
A long list of brilliant resumes came down, leaving Ivy Taylor dumbfounded.
He has a masters degree in law from Columbia University and was the best lawyer in the third American Law Industry Achievement Award. His law firm also won the title of the best litigation department that year.
He is good at economic disputes, intellectual property, and criminal litigation. In four years of practice, he has never lost a lawsuit.
The ruffian youth who used to fight and no one could control has now become an elite lawyer.
Ding Dong, a prompt sound came from the mobile phone.
A WeChat friend application.
A black avatar, the ID is called LBX.
The initials of the pinyin - Noah Carter.
Ivy Taylor just wanted to refuse, but she saw the message on the note.
[Didnt I tell you to add me?]
Ivy Taylor shivered, hesitated for a moment, and clicked through.
Then she struggled to reply.
[Its already late today, and... didnt we agree to just pretend nothing happened?]
Half a minute later, the other party replied [The thing you left at my place, dont you want it anymore?]
Ivy Taylor panicked, she didnt know what she had dropped.
Its not some important certificate or something, right?
She hurriedly asked [What thing?]
The other party replied [First Blood]
With a picture, it was a white shirt stained with blood.
