Chapter 22 - 22 22 Tear Mole
22: Chapter 22: Tear Mole 22: Chapter 22: Tear Mole These words set off tumultuous waves.
Old Lady Blake picked up the cup on the table and smashed it toward him furiously.
“Edwin Blake, I’m not dead yet!
Contact the hospital and terminate it!”
Edwin Blake spoke coldly, “It’s not Isla’s.”
He didn’t explain much.
A chilling glance flashed in Old Lady Blake’s eyes, “Talk to me after the meeting, the matter of the shares is settled.”
Raelynn Dawn’s eyes sharpened immensely, “I disagree with the shares, there’s no negotiating this, the entire Blake Family must belong to Edwin!”
“You have no right to speak; you can only accept.”
Edwin Blake felt annoyed, “Throw her out.”
“Edwin Blake, how can you treat me like this?
Everything I’ve done is for you!
You ungrateful child!”
Raelynn Dawn was thrown out, and the meeting proceeded normally.
The matter was already settled, and once the Blake Clan Group’s announcement was out, it went viral.
Old Lady Blake exchanged a few casual words before adjourning the meeting, leaving Edwin Blake alone.
Old Lady Blake stated flatly, “Speak.”
“Grandma, the child is not Isla’s.
If you give Ivy River the shares, she will naturally return to inherit them.
By then, I can arrange for her to freeze her eggs or use in-vitro.”
Edwin Blake didn’t elaborate further; he feared alarming the enemy.
First, the medical kit that appeared at the old house was identical to the one Ayla carried.
Second, Grandma suddenly announcing her will was certainly suspicious.
Old Lady Blake sternly stared at Edwin Blake, “Don’t imagine that a Sutton will marry into the Blake Family.
I will amend the will.
If Ivy doesn’t inherit, I will donate it all unconditionally.”
“Grandma…
Isla can’t conceive.”
Old Lady Blake’s voice gradually steadied, “Any news about Ivy lately?”
Edwin Blake lowered his head, “No.”
Old Lady Blake snorted, “Don’t forget what you promised me.”
“Grandson hasn’t forgotten.
Then has Grandma heard any news about Ivy River recently?”
A sudden smile curved on Edwin Blake’s lips, making Old Lady Blake uneasy.
Old Lady Blake steadied her emotions, “No, it’s late.
I’m leaving now.”
Edwin Blake pursed his lips as he sent Old Lady Blake off.
Sitting alone in the office, phone in hand, he typed something unknown.
…
Three in the afternoon.
Ivy River woke up, read the news on the Dark Web, and had some calculations in mind.
She got up, did a simple disguise, waiting for Edwin Blake to arrive.
There’s no avoiding what’s destined to come.
If she kept hiding, with Edwin’s suspicious nature, he’s bound to guess.
Actually…
she didn’t trust Grandma Blake much either.
After all, Edwin Blake was her biological grandson.
“Boss, how can you personally go and deal with Edwin Blake!”
Leon Peterson rushed in, his voice arriving before he did.
Ivy River raised her eyes, “You can speak a bit louder, so the whole institute can hear.”
Leon Peterson was anxious, “I’ll go instead.”
“You’re not a match for Edwin Blake.”
Ivy began putting on a mask, “I’ve signed the contract, and once I get the Lingzhi, he can leave.
Since he wants to give me shares, I’ll take them.”
Leon Peterson gritted his teeth, “So where are you meeting?
I’ll drive you.”
“At the café at the entrance.”
Leon Peterson was dumbfounded, “How could such a big CEO agree to meet at a café?”
“Because I’m Ayla; he has to agree whether he wants to or not.”
Ivy River gently pushed past Leon Peterson and nonchalantly walked out.
When she arrived, she saw Edwin Blake was already waiting at the café.
Ivy River sat directly across from Edwin without any courtesy.
“Good day, President Blake.”
“Divine Doctor Ayla?”
Looking at Edwin Blake’s handsome face.
Ivy River admitted that she was still drawn to this façade.
Five years apart.
The two locked eyes once again.
The man, in a well-tailored suit, sat relaxed on the sofa, but that noble and abstinent aura was undiminished.
Yet soon she remembered that Edwin already had a child.
Ivy River maintained a blank expression, “President Blake personally bringing me Lingzhi, it seems the rumors about your affection are true.”
Edwin Blake’s dark eyes intensely stared at Ivy River, “Divine Doctor Ayla, do you know?
My ex-wife and I haven’t divorced yet.”
Ivy River was shocked internally, striving to keep her emotions in check.
“President Blake, all I see are the news reports; whether you’re divorced or not is none of my concern.”
“I’m just letting you know, Isla Sutton is not my wife; merely a close friend.”
“Alright, President Blake, may I have the Lingzhi and the contract?”
Ivy River forced a smile, looking at Edwin Blake.
The more fake she appeared on the surface, the deeper her hatred ran inside.
“I’ll give you the contract after Isla’s treatment concludes.
For now, I’ll give you 5%, the cash has already been transferred to you by Harry Ross.”
“Full payment, otherwise no treatment.
I can wait, President Blake.”
Edwin Blake glared at that emotionless face, gritting his teeth.
She wore a plain long dress, with light makeup that didn’t conceal her refined demeanor.
Her face remained indifferent, devoid of expression.
But the features revealed by the mask were remarkably similar to Ivy River’s, especially when she smiled just now.
Except for the missing tear mole.
This forced Edwin Blake to suspect whether Ayla was actually Ivy River.
Suddenly.
Edwin Blake stood up directly, yanking off Ivy River’s mask.
At the same time, a cold light flashed in Ivy River’s eyes.
What do you think?
