CHAPTER 85: CHAPTER 85: SLAPPING DAMIEN LANCASTER’S FACE

Zachary Lancaster held his head, "Mom, I just got back, are you trying to kill me?"

"If your dad heard you, he’d beat you until your skin blossoms."

"Zachary rarely says anything decent, but this one isn’t bad."

Old Master Lancaster came out of the elevator with the help of the old butler.

"Dad, you’re talking nonsense." Seraphina Kennedy looked at the old master displeased.

"What’s nonsense? Eight years ago he dared to contradict me. If he likes it so much, he should marry her himself. How is Zachary wrong?"

With Old Master Lancaster backing him up, Zachary leaped smugly to his grandfather’s side. "Grandpa, you’re still the one who understands."

Seraphina pursed her lips, speechless, "Dad, where does that leave me?"

The old master sat down on the sofa, glanced at Damien Lancaster who was silent, and snorted, "Damien, how do you plan to handle this matter?"

"I haven’t figured it out yet." Damien stood up and left the old house.

Seeing his brother leave, Zachary also didn’t want to stay and be an eyesore, so he quickly followed.

The old master shook his head and sighed, "Truly a cursed fate."

...

Ivy Summers sat in Sophie’s hospital room. She originally wanted to show the evidence directly to Damien Lancaster, but Zachary’s interference disrupted Rachel Shaw’s plan to feign weakness and also messed up her own plan.

Ivy furrowed her brows, rubbing her throbbing temples.

Sophie was asleep, and it was still early.

The people at the door were Noah Scott’s men, and Ivy Summers called Ella Morgan to go out together.

Bar booth.

Ivy Summers poured a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.

Ella Morgan watched anxiously and pressed her hand down, "What’s wrong with you? Are you upset because of Damien Lancaster?"

"Because of him?" Ivy Summers smirked, "Is he worthy?"

"He’s just a pig, is he worth making me sad?"

Adjacent booth.

Zachary Lancaster curled his lips and teasingly looked at the man next to him, who was exuding a cold aura, "Bro, are you worthy?"

Damien Lancaster’s handsome face tensed as he glanced at Zachary, whose smile grew even more irritating.

Ella Morgan forced a dry smile, "Then why did you come out to drink?"

Ivy Summers could drink but rarely did so.

"Because I’m depressed." Ivy turned to look at Ella, "I can’t figure it out."

"Can’t figure out what?"

"I can’t figure out how there can be such stupid people in this world."

Zachary Lancaster glanced at the "stupid person" beside him.

Damien’s face darkened, as Ivy’s voice continued.

"Do you think his brain grew in his rear end? Anything I say, he doesn’t believe. But he believes everything Rachel Shaw says. He keeps saying he doesn’t want a divorce, but if we’re not divorcing, I’m his wife. Why can’t he give a little more trust to his wife?"

"Okay, okay, stop drinking." Ella tried to stop Ivy.

Ivy lifted her hand, "I’m fine."

Ella watched Ivy, feeling sorry for her this way.

Ivy was having a hard time, just like five years ago, even more so now, constantly wronged and living in fear, with this grievance stuck in her heart, if she doesn’t vent, it will suffocate her.

"And, I haven’t finished." Ivy let out a cold laugh, "He says he still wants my child. With his brain, which child that enters his house wouldn’t be bullied to death? With Rachel Shaw’s character, unless the child is hers, any other child would be abused to death."

Ivy smiled bitterly.

Stupid, really stupid.

She really wanted to know what expression Damien would have the day he learns that the person he loves most has hurt the child he wants.

Would he regret it? Would he feel heartbroken? Would he feel miserable?

He better be heartbroken to death, miserable to death, and regret it to death.

Thinking of this, Ivy raised the glass in front of her and downed it.

Zachary lit a cigarette, took a puff, and leaned towards Damien, whose face was stormy, "Bro, when did you start not believing my sister-in-law?"

Damien’s thin lips pressed into a line, his deep eyes like a dark pool, impossible to read his emotions at the moment.

He said nothing, but Zachary continued, "If you don’t believe, I do. I only believe my sister-in-law."

Damien looked at him lightly, "Why? Did she save your life?"

Zachary wasn’t particularly close with Ivy Summers, after all, they hadn’t seen each other for five or six years.

But back when he made a mistake at the Lancaster house, Ivy had spoken up for him.

Zachary felt he was pretty good at judging people, just felt Ivy was better than Rachel.

The only bad thing about Ivy was that she aborted the child back then, but that couldn’t be blamed on her. Which woman could endure her husband setting off fireworks with his ex while mourning her mother?

Ivy had drunk quite a bit and was feeling dizzy, leaning against Ella Morgan’s shoulder.

Ella patted Ivy’s shoulder, "Alright, stop drinking, let’s go home."

Ivy took a deep breath, having vented some of her anger, she felt better.

She was sober at the moment, not quite drunk, and stood up with Ella to leave.

But as soon as she stood up, a wave of dizziness hit her, and as she fell backward, a hand caught her steadily.

Realizing it wasn’t Ella, Ivy instinctively tried to push the person away, but the arm around her waist was remarkably strong.

She couldn’t push away.

Ivy Summers was already in a bad mood and raised her hand to push the person away, "Who are you? Get lost."

Damien Lancaster lifted Ivy Summers’ chin with his hand and said in a deep voice, "Who? I’m the idiot whose head is up his ass, not worthy of making you sad."

Ivy Summers was taken aback by his words. Seeing who it was, she frowned slightly, "Damien Lancaster?"

Ivy Summers took a deep breath and tried to push him away, but she couldn’t succeed.

Ella Morgan’s mouth formed an O shape, unable to believe this unexpected encounter, and that their conversation was overheard.

Fearing that Damien Lancaster might choke Ivy Summers in anger, Ella Morgan, adhering to the principle of never abandoning a good friend, rushed up to snatch Ivy Summers back.

But she grabbed nothing but air; her hand was blocked by a body like a wall. Ella Morgan looked up at the man in front of her, whose features somewhat resembled Damien Lancaster’s.

"Move aside."

In just a few seconds, Ivy Summers was taken away by Damien Lancaster.

Zachary Lancaster bent down to look at Ella Morgan, raised the corners of his lips with a roguish smile, "Let them handle their own matters, don’t you think?"

"Screw you." Ella Morgan pushed Zachary Lancaster away and chased after Ivy Summers.

Zachary Lancaster chuckled, looking back, "Still has a temper."

...

"Let go of me." Ivy Summers was held outside by Damien Lancaster, "You’re hurting me."

Damien Lancaster released Ivy Summers, raising an eyebrow, "An idiot whose head is up his ass?"

Damien Lancaster didn’t expect that the woman who seemed the most indifferent and gentle could spit out such vulgar words.

"Aren’t you?"

"So I wronged you again?"

Ivy Summers raised her head to look at Damien Lancaster, "Did you investigate? Did you just say it was me?"

"Besides you, who else would do such a thing? Ivy Summers, admit what you did."

Ivy Summers sneered, "Admit what I did? That’s a good line, I should deliver it to Rachel Shaw, tell her to admit what she did, admit she hurt Sophie."

"This matter has been clarified, it has nothing to do with her, why do you hold a grudge?"

Ivy Summers stepped closer to Damien Lancaster and looked up at his handsome, tense face, "Then I ask you, if one day you find out that what I said was true, what would you do?"

Damien Lancaster watched her red lips move, seductive yet cold with the words she spoke.

"By then, would you send Rachel Shaw, whom you brought out yourself, back to prison?"

Damien Lancaster silently stared into her eyes, those sincere eyes seemed to tell him she hoped he would believe her, but faced with facts, he merely said, "If that day ever comes, I’ll definitely personally send her to the trial, personally send her to prison."

Ivy Summers tugged at the corner of her lips, "Hope you remember that sentence."

"Beep beep!"

A car stopped beside Ivy Summers.

Ella Morgan had called a driver, signaling Ivy Summers to get in the car.

Ivy Summers walked towards the car; Zachary Lancaster walked over with one hand in his pocket, "Sister-in-law, wait a minute."

"Anything else?"

"My dad sent two people back today, one is his most capable assistant, the other is his most valued lawyer, they will sort out the recent events and then sue you."

Zachary Lancaster’s reminder made Ivy Summers realize that Gregory Lancaster intended to back Rachel Shaw and sue her.

Ivy Summers nodded, "I know, thank you."

After speaking, Ivy Summers got in the car.

"Not chasing?" Zachary Lancaster looked at his brother.

Damien Lancaster’s eyes darkened, "Chase what?"

Even if he caught up now, it would only lead to an argument with her.

Damien Lancaster walked towards the car, Zachary Lancaster followed beside him, "If Gregory Lancaster really sues your wife, who will you support?"

"See the truth."

"Haha, serves you right that your wife ran away."

...

At this moment in Rachel Shaw’s hospital room.

Assistant Diana Dalton and lawyer Felix Sawyer had already understood the situation from Rachel Shaw.

Rachel Shaw exaggerated, with two parts truth and eight parts falsehood, recounting the whole incident.

She hadn’t yet recovered from the day’s events, her face pale as a ghost.

After learning everything, Phillip Shaw escorted them out of the room, saying, "Thank you for coming to help Rachel."

Diana Dalton nodded slightly, gentle and polite, "All as instructed by President Lancaster, who values Miss Shaw, seeing her as a future daughter-in-law, unwilling to let her be bullied."

Felix Sawyer said, "President Shaw, I just want to ask, were the things Miss Shaw just mentioned true? It’s hard for me to help you if you’re not honest with me."

"Of course, it’s all true. Ivy Summers repeatedly bullied Rachel, brought people to our home to smash things, pointed a knife at Rachel, pushed her off the Ferris wheel, and tormented her again today, all these are true, Rachel’s injuries are the evidence."

"Alright, I understand, President Shaw, we’ll leave now, let Miss Shaw rest well."

"Alright, thank you both."

Phillip Shaw returned to the room, and Rachel Shaw immediately sat up, "Dad, did you find Ivy Summers’ phone? There’s evidence in her phone, if..."

Rachel Shaw dared not even think about the ’what if’.

This matter had already escalated, even drawing Gregory Lancaster to send people back from abroad.

If it’s later found out she was lying, wouldn’t that be a slap in the face to both Gregory Lancaster and Damien Lancaster, who helped her?
