Billionaire's Unforgettable Ex-Wife-Chapter 842 - 524: I’m Not That Much of a Coward

"It wasn’t my dad, it was your dad."

Henry Sullivan looked at her, his expression not too good: "What’s he doing here? We’re no longer family, no need to keep in touch."

Ivy Miller pursed her lips: "Dad said he wants me to work at the company."

"Don’t go," Henry’s expression was calm, "Let’s not get involved with their affairs anymore."

"But I already agreed."

Henry raised his eyes to look at her, putting his chopsticks down on the table, looking serious.

Ivy pouted: "You’re angry."

"How did my dad force you?"

"He didn’t force me. You weren’t home, and after all, he’s my elder.

If it were my own dad, I could argue back a bit. But unfortunately, he’s your father.

He’s called me so many times, and now he’s come to visit me personally.

As a daughter-in-law, how can I keep refusing him?"

"Then I’ll call him and turn him down," he said, reaching for his phone.

Ivy calmly said, "So you’re really planning on making him dislike me every time he sees me?"

"I just hope they stop bothering you."

"Alright, let it go. Since I’ve agreed, I’ll just go. His intention is also to reconcile with you.

Think about it, if in the future our daughter wants to sever ties with us over a man, wouldn’t we be sad?

Some awkwardness is better left to fade away."

Henry shook his head: "It’s not the same thing. We wouldn’t hurt our daughter’s feelings like that in the future."

Ivy looked at him: "If you’re sure you can really ignore your parents forever in this life.

Are you certain that even if they fall ill and need you, you won’t show up?

If you can truly guarantee becoming strangers with them, then go ahead and call.

If you can’t, then leave me some leeway.

After all, I’m the daughter-in-law, not the daughter.

No parent would be angry at their own child, but they might be at an outsider.

To your family, I’m an outsider."

Henry pondered her words for a moment, "Last time at the company you were bullied, aren’t you worried about getting bullied again?"

Ivy laughed: "No way, do you think I’m made of paper? I’m not that cowardly.

Just last time, I was worried about causing trouble for you, so I held back. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

This time it’s different. I’m the daughter-in-law of the Sullivan family, who gave you a daughter.

Also, it was because of me that James Yinley spared Twilight Group, I’m a contributor.

I have a good reason to strut around at the company and earn a salary."

Hearing her say this, Henry tilted his head with a smile. That’s right, how could this girl possibly suffer a loss?

"If you encounter someone you can’t handle, call me. I’ll help you sort it out.

In Anchester, I have some influence, more than enough to protect you."

Ivy nodded, and this matter was thus decided.

She remembered feeling quite defeated when she left the company last time; this time, she’d have to deal with those who hurt her properly.

To boost Ivy’s confidence at work, Henry spent an entire afternoon accompanying her to buy some professional outfits.

Ivy didn’t realize it. Although the store didn’t display price tags, the clothes were exorbitantly expensive.

She just felt she looked beautiful in each outfit, and Henry bought them all without hesitation.

It was the first time Ivy felt that shopping with a man was such a great experience.

"Uncle, I always saw scenes like this on TV before. A woman tries on clothes and a man sits there appreciating, finally helping transform her into a beauty.

I feel like today, I experienced that very feeling.

Also, the feeling of me buying and you paying was amazing."

Henry laughed as he drove, "If you like it, we can do it often."

Ivy pouted: "No way, we still have to raise the child, can’t be so extravagant.

We spent quite a lot today. I think with the quality of this clothing, they must be at least thousands each."

Henry smiled: "Not too expensive, as long as it makes you happy wearing them."

"I am happy. Which woman doesn’t want to dress up beautifully?"

Henry thought Ivy sometimes spoke like someone who’d seen many hardships, yet sometimes like a child.

On Ivy’s first official day of work, Damian Sullivan personally escorted her to the Human Resources department.

Her office was right next to the HR manager’s office; she had her own independent workspace.

Damian said it was to give her enough space.

In the office, with many eyes and loose tongues, some people might gossip unwarrantedly.

After Damian left, the HR manager personally introduced her to the workings of the department before leaving.

Ivy sat alone at a desk that was one and a half meters wide, suddenly feeling a bit suffocated.

She picked up a few HR documents to look through and processed a few leave reports; that was the end of her morning’s work.

It wasn’t really that difficult, was it?

She checked the time, it was 11:30, and she got up to go downstairs for lunch.

Though she had weaned Brian, her appetite hadn’t decreased.

Luckily, she wasn’t prone to gaining weight, or she’d be a balloon by now.

As she left the office, others were also preparing to go downstairs for lunch.

When she arrived, Damian had told her that among the entire company, the HR department was relatively relaxed.

This was to give her a transition, and she would gradually be moved to decision-making positions.

She took a couple of steps forward, when suddenly a staff member moved, bringing her sight directly onto a man across from her.

And just by chance, that person turned out to be her ex-boyfriend, Robert Weston.

Only then did Ivy remember that Robert had been transferred to the business department.

Her brow furrowed as she looked over, how unlucky, to run into him like this. What was he doing in HR?

Robert saw her too, for a moment she saw him freeze.

He was standing in front of a female colleague’s desk, and the woman was calling him: "Honey."
