CHAPTER 96: CHAPTER 96: IVY SUMMERS WON

Off to the side, a doctor was bandaging Ivy Summers’ wound and told her, "You’re in no condition to fly; you need to go to the hospital."

Ivy Summers’ face turned pale as she shook her head with her eyes closed.

"There’s no time."

The doctor frowned, not understanding why she had to leave, given her severe injuries.

Noah Scott walked over quickly. Looking at the weak Ivy Summers, his deep, narrow eyes squinted, "You hurt yourself this badly just to leave?"

Ivy Summers slightly raised her head to look at him, with a bitter smile, "Do you think this is a ploy for sympathy?"

Noah Scott pressed his thin lips together and said nothing.

"I’m not that foolish."

Thinking of that car, Ivy Summers frowned.

That car drove off after hitting her. It seemed like an accident, but she didn’t believe it was purely coincidental.

The car seemed to have been waiting there, speeding toward her as soon as the driver saw her.

Even though she reacted quickly to dodge, her body was still hit.

She did indeed lose consciousness, and before she fainted, she saw Damien Lancaster.

She wondered if she had seen wrong, but she actually saw Damien Lancaster with tears in his eyes for her.

Would he really cry for her, worry about her?

She always thought his heart only had Rachel Shaw.

Later, when she woke up in the hospital, what came to her mind was Damien Lancaster’s words:

"As long as you can leave Aethelgard by today, I will agree to the divorce, let you go, and even if I find out later that you have a child, I will never bother you again. You have only one chance, do you dare to play?"

Dare to play?

Ivy Summers, being the kind of person who never admits defeat, had to win when Damien Lancaster wanted her to lose.

At that time, she came up with a plan, regardless of her injuries.

Now Damien Lancaster was probably still at the emergency room door, but by the time he realized it, she would have already won.

...

Rachel Shaw learned that Ivy Summers was in a car accident and was taken to the hospital by Damien Lancaster, and soon after, she heard the news of Ivy Summers’ death.

Rachel Shaw was still recovering from the overwhelming surprise.

"Is the news reliable?"

She stared intently at the subordinate Phillip Shaw had sent to investigate.

"Absolutely true, I heard the doctor tell Mr. Lancaster myself, and Mr. Lancaster was very distraught."

The smile on Rachel Shaw’s face widened completely.

Ivy Summers was dead.

Truly dead.

Ha.

That damn bitch was finally dead.

What a relief.

However, hearing that Damien Lancaster was very distraught, Rachel Shaw’s eyes filled with hatred again.

She couldn’t believe Damien Lancaster cared that much about Ivy Summers.

But then again, it didn’t matter.

Dead people don’t count.

Ivy Summers was dead, so no matter how sad Damien Lancaster was, it would pass in a few days.

In the future, she would be Damien Lancaster’s only woman.

The future Young Madam Lancaster.

Rachel Shaw curved her lips, finally feeling completely satisfied.

She tossed aside the bedding and got out of bed, with Penelope Page supporting her, "Where are you going?"

"To see that dead child Sophie, her mom’s dead, naturally I need to share the good news with her."

With Ivy Summers dead, Rachel Shaw wasn’t going to let Ivy’s child off easily either.

Rachel Shaw, leaning on a cane, went to Sophie’s hospital room.

Sophie had just been brought back to the hospital by Damien Lancaster’s people because she still had injuries on her head. Noah Scott’s people had been controlled by Damien Lancaster’s men, so only Sophie was in her hospital room.

When Sophie saw Rachel Shaw coming in, the little girl opened her large eyes wide and shrank back in fear.

Sophie knew just how bad Rachel Shaw could be.

Filled with anger and fear, Sophie clenched her little hands into fists.

Seeing Sophie’s gaze, Rachel Shaw squinted her eyes.

At that moment, Sophie’s gaze looked very much like Ivy Summers’.

That kind of aura, seemingly emanating from her very bones, carried arrogance and an unyielding spirit, something that annoyed Rachel Shaw.

Rachel Shaw raised her eyebrows, "Don’t be afraid, I won’t hurt you, I’m just here to tell you something."

Sophie didn’t listen, raising her hand to forcefully press the emergency call button on the bed; a nurse and doctor would soon arrive.

Rachel Shaw said nonchalantly, "I’m here to tell you: your mom’s dead."

"You’re lying."

Sophie would never believe the bad woman’s words.

"I have no reason to lie to you. Ivy Summers is dead, it’s news I just heard. You should know what happened tonight; believe it or not, it’s up to you."

"But a kind reminder: if you go to the morgue now, you might still see her body one last time."

"I don’t believe it, you’re lying." Sophie shouted, and the doctor came in. Seeing Sophie agitated, they immediately asked Rachel Shaw to leave.

Rachel Shaw curled her lips into a cold smile, empathetically saying, "Sophie, don’t be too sad. Without your mom, you’ll be with your dad. I may be your stepmom in the future, and I will love you dearly."

She deliberately emphasized the words "love you dearly," hinting at threat and intimidation.

Sophie’s eyes reddened as Rachel Shaw left. Sophie immediately called Ivy Summers.

The first call couldn’t get through.

The second call couldn’t get through.

The third call, still couldn’t get through...

Sophie got anxious, tears streaming down, but she kept telling herself that the bad woman was lying; her mommy wouldn’t die, she was lying.

...

When Damien Lancaster arrived at the airport, Noah Scott’s people stopped him outside. He gazed coldly at the line of professional guards holding weapons before him, his voice chilling, "Step aside."

The people in front didn’t move at all.

Damien Lancaster wasted no words, striding forward and directly making a move.

Damien Lancaster’s skills were on par with Noah Scott’s; although it took some time to deal with these men, it was still effortless.

In just a few minutes, he had knocked down everyone blocking his way.

Though Damien Lancaster sustained some injuries, he didn’t care at all, striding into the airport as if immune to pain.

At this moment, he was full of hostility, like a demon straight out of hell, untouchable by anyone.

Next to the private jet, Noah Scott received a call. Raising his eyebrows after listening, he saw Damien Lancaster coming in, having shed his jacket and rolled up his sleeves, carrying an air of menace.

He set down the phone, a challenging smile on his lips.

Damien Lancaster’s gaze immediately fell on the private jet behind Noah Scott.

"You’re here."

Noah Scott grinned mischievously, as if he was waiting specifically for Damien Lancaster.

Damien Lancaster withdrew his gaze from the private jet, "You specifically waited here for me?"

"Yeah, specifically to give you a big gift."

Right after Noah Scott spoke, he snapped his fingers, and suddenly lights turned on around them, surrounding Damien Lancaster.

The number of people was several times those outside earlier.

Damien Lancaster scoffed with disdain, leisurely raising his hand to undo two buttons on his collar, asking, "If I win, should Ivy Summers come back with me?"
