My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back

Chapter 47

Gregory carefully weighed the pros and cons.

Although he was reluctant to concede, he recognized that times had evolved.

Even if Melvin were to demand a pound of flesh from him, he had to wear a smile and agree to it.

“Melvin, you’re right. You have a far-reaching vision! Now, as long as our children are content, I’ll

support whatever they ask of me.”

Gregory was fully aware that Melvin could not avoid being associated with the Xander Group now that

Marissa had married into the Xander family.

It would also be advantageous for the Coleman family’s strategic planning if Daniel Xander were to

assume the role of CEO, especially considering Daniel Xander would become their son-in-law.

That was how the marriage between Daniel Xander and Marissa was eventually arranged.

Melvin and Gregory had never spoken directly to each other, but the former had heard certain criticisms

of the latter’s character.

Therefore, during the negotiations, Melvin suggested that the marriage would not proceed until Daniel

Xander took on the role of CEO. The details of the wedding. arrangements could be settled and

communicated at a later time.

After the negotiations were concluded, Gregory hastily returned to Norham with Daniel Xander.

Meanwhile, Lucia was busy arranging a celebratory feast at home.

With the matter resolved, she could finally get a peaceful night’s rest..

She had grown weary of those days filled with anxiety and tension.

However, she hadn’t expected Gregory to be in such a gloomy mood after the long wait. Daniel Xander

went straight upstairs as soon as he came in.

“Gregory, did everything go smoothly?” Lucia couldn’t contain her curiosity any longer. Lucia also felt a

little disappointed when she heard what had happened in Baykeep. It appeared she would have to

conform to Daniel Xander’s preferences in the future.

She had put in so much effort, but in the end, Daniel Xander had emerged as the ultimate winner.

She couldn’t help but wonder if that had all been a part of Daniel Xander’s plan.

Lucia had consistently tried to undermine Daniel Xander, trying to block his path to becoming the heir.

Her goal was to clear the way for Kristin.

In particular, learning about Larson Corporation in Dellmoor, where the eldest daughter of the Larson

family had taken on the role of successor, only pumped up her determination.

Recently, Lucia had tightened her control over Kristin.

She enrolled her in numerous courses, believing she was being a devoted mother.

What she did not know was that Kristin did not appreciate her efforts.

Kristin was simply living a carefree life, spending hefty tuition fees and daily expenses without any real

commitment to her studies.

In the meantime, Christopher returned to the Levine Group in Norham after his legal loss.

Ivy was already waiting for him in his office.

Initially, she had offered to accompany Christopher, but he had declined.

Ivy was eagerly waiting for him and always wanted to be by his side, especially on public occasions.

She wanted to make her presence known so that the world would recognize her as the unique woman

by Christopher’s side.

Nonetheless, much to her surprise, her beloved returned with a gloomy expression.

As Christopher walked into his office, he noticed the young woman sitting on the couch.

He furrowed his brow subconsciously, as he had always disliked having his personal space encroached

upon.

It seemed someone was about to incur his displeasure.

Christopher’s assistant had initially tried to stop Ivy from entering, but Ivy had asserted her connection

to Christopher.

The junior assistant couldn’t make a decision, and Felix wasn’t there.

So Ivy had managed to get into the office.

“Christopher, you’re back. How did it go today? Was everything all right?” Ivy promptly rose and

approached Christopher.

She stood in front of him, examining his countenance. “Why do you look so pale? Are you feeling

unwell?”

She then extended her two thumbs as if to offer him a temple massage.

Christopher subconsciously moved his head away when he saw Ivy’s delicate hand approaching, and

he quickly made his way to his seat.

“It’s nothing, probably just a little tired from traveling back and forth,” Christopher was different when it

came to Ivy.

Even though he didn’t want her to get too close to him, he still considered her to be a very close

person.

Ivy’s thumbs were in the air, and her pupils were slightly dilated with a hint of disbelief, wondering what

was wrong with Christopher.

She remembered that he had appreciated her massaging him when he had felt tired in the past.

In fact, she had even learned from a mentor specifically for that purpose.

She had to find out what was happening.

Then she left the office and went straight to Felix’s office.

“What did you just say? We lost the case today and had to pay a who pping 3 billion dollars in

compensation?” Ivy seemed shocked and bombarded Felix with a series of questions.

No wonder, she rarely saw Christopher in such a state.

“But isn’t Earna the trump card of the industry?”

Felix was careful not to be negligent, aware of Ivy’s special position in Christopher’s heart. He provided

a detailed report of the day’s events.

In truth, he hadn’t been present at the trial either and had learned everything from Earna’s grievances.

Despite the bad news, Ivy couldn’t help but feel a glimmer of happiness.

professional setbacks.

It appeared visiting the company today was not a wise decision.

She had thought the case was almost a sure thing and wanted to be part of the celebration.

She had never expected such an outcome.

Ivy had been studying jewelry design all along.

Although Christopher hadn’t officially assigned her a position yet, she assumed it would be in the

design department.

Since she was already present at the company, she decided to pay a visit.

She asked Felix to accompany her to the design department for a brief inspection.

She had always heard about the competition for the “LOVE” distribution right among the companies.

So she took the opportunity to help Christopher review the work everyone had prepared.

When the design department’s director, Alicia North, saw Felix personally bringing in an unfamiliar

woman, she naturally didn’t dare to be inattentive.

Alicia provided a progress report and showcased some of the excellent work of the designers.

However, there didn’t appear to be any particularly exceptional design pieces among them.

Ivy furrowed her brow slightly.

Yet, she was relatively unknown, and Alicia’s openness toward her might have been influenced by the

CEO’s personal assistant.

Ivy had studied jewelry design for an extended period of time and had even won some international

awards. She felt if the existing designs fell short, she should strive to excel herself.

If she could assist Christopher in securing the exclusive “LOVE” exclusive distribution right, it would

strengthen her position.

At Larson Corporation in Dellmoor, during the meeting, Kimberly announced that Genevieve’s work had

emerged as the winner and would be one of the outstanding

entries in the competition.

The appointment of Whitney as the deputy CEO of the Norham subsidiary had not been officially

disclosed to the public.

When Kimberly made the announcement, Genevieve was stunned in her seat.

Genevieve had assumed that in the competition against Whitney, she had been essentially fighting a

losing battle and had anticipated being the one to lose.

She was surprised that Kimberly had come to a decision so quickly.

She was truly afraid because she knew her future at Larson Corporation would be bleak if she were

found guilty of plagiarism.

Her reputation would also be tarnished, making it highly unlikely for any other design company to hire

her.

Fortunately, she’d narrowly avoided disaster, and she was relieved to know that she had managed to

survive a crisis.
