Chapter 11 Center Of Attraction

Ivanka waved her phone and said, “See you soon.” And she left without waiting for Jonah’s response. Jonah sat motionlessly in his chair. Suki smiled at him before grabbing her phone and following Ivanka. The duo got into Suki’s car, but Suki did not start the car immediately. Instead, she turned to Ivanka incredulously. “Iris, please tell me you’re not using that playboy to heal your broken heart after splitting up with Michael. Taking advantage of Jonah isn’t going to help you heal. Aren’t you worried about falling in love with him and getting your heart broken again?” Ivanka was stunned. It took her a moment before she recovered her senses. She laughed in resignation and said, “What on earth are you talking about? Love is the one thing I hate the most right now. Why would I fall in love with him?” Moreover, how could Jonah possibly want to date her? Ivanka could not help but laugh again. “You’re being a worry wart. Jonah wouldn’t want to date me even if I asked him.” Suki frowned and stared at her doubtfully. “You’re really not lying to me?” “Of course not!” Suki scrutinized Ivanka for some time but did not find anything suspicious. It was only then that she started her car engine. After she put it in gear, Suki sighed. “Men are useless! We have to rely on ourselves and become strong. Iv, you’re a successful woman now. No man can hold you back any longer.” In the past, Suki always addressed Ivanka as Iris instead of Iv. This time, Suki had called Ivanka her actual name. This showed that Suki was being serious. Ivanka laughed. “Don’t worry, I won’t let any man hold me back any longer. Trust me, this is just the beginning of the fight against Michael.” Suki was relieved. She moved the steering wheel and said, “I trust you!” ...... Meanwhile, the Lane family just finished their dinner at their house. Chiara’s cheeks were rosy. She looked nowhere like she had been when she had just recovered a month ago. Her mother was also in good condition. Despite the fact that she was over forty years old, she dressed up like a woman in her early thirties. Chiara cast a glance at her mother, who was sitting on the couch. Then, she frowned and said, “Mom, I think something’s wrong. Mic doesn’t look like he intends to get a divorce with Ivanka.” Women had accurate intuitions at times, especially when it came to bad omens. What they feared the most usually turned into reality. Lyla Zelda turned to her. “What makes you say that?” Chiara pursed her lips. “Ivanka has been influencing his emotions recently. They went back to the Barkworth’s mansion yesterday.” Lyla frowned. “How could that happen? How could Ivanka be so shameless?!” Chiara gnashed her teeth. “The night before, I did everything I could to make him stay and accompany me. Although he comforted me, he was cold and distant. I asked him about his divorce, but he refused to say a word. Even though he mentioned that he would marry me, I have a bad feeling that Ivanka will ruin it.” Lyla’s expression darkened. “I never knew Ivanka to be such a crafty woman. If she decides to play dirty next time, things might get tricky, especially since Rosie likes her. Chiara, it seems that we have to take the lead this time.” Chiara looked up at Lyla. “Do you have a plan?” Lyla nodded. She raised her hand and touched Chiara’s face. “You’re beautiful, and you will certainly become the center of attraction.” “Huh?” Chiara was puzzled. Lyla said, “The former master of the Morris family will celebrate his birthday in ten days. You have to find a way to attend the banquet as Michael’s plus one.”
