Chapter 83 Malicious Intent
I was finally done with my IV drip. However, before I could ask Atlas to head back, Ivanna burst into the
room.
“Chlo, what’s going on…”
Her words trailed off as she noticed Atlas in the room. She fixed her gaze intensely on him with a strange
look
I could tell what she was thinking, so I quickly changed the topic. “Why’d you come back so quickly?”
Atlas replied instead, “When you were unconscious, she called to check on you out of concern. I told her
you were indeed in trouble.”
“So, you’re the one who answered the call!” Ivanna looked at him with curiosity. “Can you tell me who you are?”
I blushed as I briefly introduced Atlas to Ivanna. They exchanged polite handshakes, and Ivanna asked, “Is that his jacket?”
I nodded silently.
Then I turned to Atlas and told him Ivanna would take me back. Atlas gave me some instructions before we left the hospital room.
Ivanna started questioning me about the whole incident. After I told the story, Ivanna was furious and asked why I had not turned my lunatic sister–in–law over to the police. After all, I had evidence.
“That would be too easy on her!” I said calmly, “I need to force her to face the life she should have lived, to know what it’s like to struggle. Then she can think about her actions.”
I asked Ivanna to drop me off at the office instead of the Murphy Residence. It seemed more appropriate. Then, I called the Murphy family members and had them all come to Matthew’s office.
Before leaving the car, Ivanna asked, “Are you sure you’ll be okay alone?”
Don’t worry! I’ll be fine.” I reassured her.
However, as soon as I walked away, Ivanna hurriedly followed me. I think I’d better stay with you!
Matthew was in high spirits in his office as he celebrated with Johnson and some executives. There was
glo be a contract elgning with ATL Empire on Tuesday
