Chapter 4 Pitifully Stupid

In her past life, Ivy had thought that she had lost herself and done something that betrayed Julian. She didn't refute any of his harsh words, and when he said he was helpless, she completely forgave him. When she found out that he had come to take her away, she was even more touched, thinking that he still had feelings for her.

She had been ridiculously foolish.

Little did she know, it was merely the man's wounded pride at play.

She had once been his fiancée, but now she had become Richard's lover. If such a thing were to get out, how could Julian maintain his face?

The moment Julian asked her to go with him, Ivy clearly felt the temperature around them drop sharply.

Not far from Ivy, hidden in the shadows, the man's presence melded with the darkness, and his aura of aggression raged uncontrollably, as though he would tear everything apart and consume it down to the bones in the next moment.

Richard's assistant, Robin, was drenched in sweat, his legs shaking uncontrollably.

This damn life-he had to witness the boss's woman sneaking off with some other man in the dead of night and putting the boss in a humiliating position!

Ever since Ivy had appeared by Richard's side, they, as subordinates, had never had a peaceful day. Whenever the boss got angry, they all suffered.

And this woman was particularly skilled at provoking Richard.

This time, the level of Richard's fury was enough to burn all of New York City to the ground!

Robin closed his eyes in despair. Even without looking, he knew how green the boss's face would be afterward...

Julian, seeing that Ivy didn't move, looked slightly impatient and reached out to grab her, intending to drag her away.

Ivy quickly stepped back, avoiding his touch.

"Ivy?" Julian frowned.

Ivy's expression grew cold. "Julian, did I say I wanted to go with you?"

Julian's gaze softened with pity. "Ivy, someone like Richard is just playing with you. Why would you degrade yourself like this just to get back at me?"

In Julian's mind, Ivy had always been completely in love with him and had always obeyed his every command, so he assumed she was just trying to get his attention.

"Degrade myself?"

Ivy almost laughed at the absurdity of it, coldly mocking, "Richard is wealthier than you, more powerful than you, better-looking than you, and has a better physique. Even sleeping with him once would be better than spending a lifetime with you! Who gave you the confidence to say such things?"

"You..." Julian never expected Ivy to say such words, and his face darkened in an instant.

Meanwhile, the man in the shadows, whose murderous aura had been raging out of control, suddenly quieted down, like a wild beast being stroked the right way.

Robin, who had narrowly escaped disaster, looked at Ivy in shock.

This Miss Cameron was acting completely out of character today.

This was nothing like what she would normally say. Wasn't she supposed to be completely in love with Julian?

She should be eager to elope with him!

Could it be that she was just playing hard to get?

Julian was truly furious now. His voice turned cold as he warned, "Ivy, stop throwing a tantrum. Richard's background is deep and untraceable. He's sinister, ruthless, and unscrupulous. Do you have any idea how dangerous he is? Staying by someone like him, are you out of your mind?"

Ivy, barely paying attention to Julian's fierce warning, lazily yawned. The next moment, she tilted her head slightly, shooting him a sidelong glance, and with a cool tone said, "So what? Die under the handsome hottie Richard, and even as a ghost, I'd be satisfied enough."
