As expected, Kiara’s eyes soon turned red.

Ivy’s words had stabbed her in the heart.

Kiara was a smart woman, so she understood that there was no such thing as free lunch.

“Tell me, then. What do you want me to do?” she asked, smiling as though she had received a new lease on life.

Of course, Ivy would never admit to Kiara that she only wanted to use her to get back at Kimberly.

Ivy smiled. “Do whatever you want. I’ll help you,” she said with an air of superiority, as though she were a noble qu

queen.

After over an hour of negotiation, Kiara and Ivy reached an agreement.

Kiara was then taken away by Ivy.

She had finally gained temporary freedom.

After giving her a card, Ivy told her to rent a house and buy some clothes.

Kiara gladly accepted it.

For four years, she had missed out on the excitement of shopping.

That long-lost feeling seemed to return to her.

‘As long as I’m alive, there’s hope. I suppose this is the result of my perseverance,’ Kiara thought to herself, blissfully unaware that she was on a road of no return.

Since Ivy was already Ethan’s woman, she no longer had her sights set on Christopher.

Nonetheless, she would much rather destroy what she couldn’t have than let someone else get it with little effort, especially since that person would be Kimberly.

She wouldn’t allow it.

Gerald was on time to pick Kimberly and Genevieve up, and together they made their

Kimberly wore a light gray suit with a black shirt underneath and high heels. She looked sophisticated-anyone could tell at first glance that she was a career woman.

Gerald frowned and thought, “This woman hasn’t learned her lesson. Has she forgotten. how she sprained her ankle last time? Besides, she’s tall and has a strong presence. She doesn’t need those high heels to make herself stand out.

He gave her a gentle reminder. Today’s event will most likely go on for quite a while. Do you want to switch to some more comfortable shoes?”

Kimberly smiled. “Nope.”

She was particular about her high heels, just like many women were about their makeup.

Some women would never leave the house without wearing makeup.

She was the same in that she would never leave the house without her high heels.

The more important the event, the more particular she was about her high heels.

She had her own posture instructor and made it a point to regularly practice this kind. of thing

At the venue, Christopher came across them.

To be more precise, he approached Kimberly on purpose.

He had been searching for her from the moment he entered the venue.

However, Gerald was like a knight-gentle, suave, and chivalrous-and he never left her side.

From a distance, it seemed that all was well.

Renowned experts in the industry had been invited to speak at this event. Kimberly had a thirst for knowledge. Moreover, this was a new domain that she would be exploring when working with MacQuoid Group.

She wanted to learn more as soon as possible.

Throughout the event, she paid close attention to the lectures given by the experts, jotting down the key points and challenges in her notebook from time to time.

Gerald and Christopher were secretly competing. Still, Gerald was in a fantastic mood. because of his favorable position.

They were both enthralled by how diligent Kimberly looked.

‘I had no idea she’s so eager to learn, Christopher mused.

He used to think that she was someone who would do anything to achieve her goal.

His preconceived notions prevented him from getting to know her better.

That was something he would always regret.

Gerald had been attracted to her from the first time he saw her.

It would not be an exaggeration to say it was love at first sight.

Later, he learned more about her through his own efforts.

Then, with carefully planned actions, he gradually got closer to her.

In Christopher’s eyes. Gerald saw the determination of a man who had changed for the better.

Christopher also recognized Gerald’s meticulous care for Kimberly in his actions.

Both of them smiled.

The two exceptional men had met their match. They were even more delighted than they were apprehensive.

Gerald was invited to deliver a speech.

In high spirits, the host on stage announced, “Please welcome the CEO of Patterson Finance Group, Mr. Gerald Patterson, to deliver a speech. Let’s give it up for him!”

Gerald strode up to the podium with an impressive bearing amid a thunderous applause.

Kimberly gave a halfhearted clap. She already knew who he was, so she was not at all surprised.

However, she was a little curious as to why he had chosen to reveal his identity on this particular occasion.

Christopher was astonished.

He had looked into Gerald before. But, since he didn’t learn much from the investigation and Gerald had deliberately concealed his own identity, Christopher only discovered who his rival was right then.

Genevieve watched Gerald deliver his speech on stage. He was well-spoken, and from time to time, he would glance at Kimberly with affectionate eyes.

She had heard of the mysterious Patterson Finance Group, though she never expected

him to be its CEO,

Felix also appeared surprised. At the same time, he was worried-not for himself, but for his boss, Christopher.

He thought, ‘In all honesty, if Kimberly’s attitude toward Mr. Levine is any indication, he doesn’t have the upper hand. More importantly, his rival is both impressive and assertive. I’m not sure Mr. Levine can compete with him.’

After Gerald finished his speech, he walked to the seat beside Kimberly.

His gaze, however, was fixed on Christopher. Their eyes met.

Indeed, Gerald had purposefully revealed his secret identity to openly challenge Christopher.

Regardless, Christopher was fearless. Instead, he felt rather delighted.

That was because he was still the father of Dexter, Sebastian, and Candice.

That was his advantage and his trump card.

Gerald and Kimberly were seated close to one another, and would occasionally lean

closer to talk.

It did not occur to them that their exchanges seemed quite intimate.

Gerald’s sudden appearance had already sparked excitement in the venue.

All the media’s cameras were aimed at him. It was then that they noticed his intriguing interactions with a stunning woman.

Naturally, they wanted to heavily embellish this story.

Yet, since no news could be released without his permission, Gerald never had to worry about such things.

Christopher’s eyes were filled with jealousy. He was not in the mood to listen to the keynote address.

Regardless, he could not make a fuss.

After that team-building event, Isabella’s focus also changed.

When she returned home, she told her family that she was going to marry Jaxon.

The Jennings family members struggled to comprehend this news, for it was much too

The entire family thought Vincent was the ideal partner for her.

The majority of them were against her abruptly replacing him with Jaxon.
