Chapter 922: If that’s what my lady wants, then shoot me.
Staying in the room all the way, waiting for help to come, was not Ivy’s style. Growing up, all people saw was her "perfect life" of being born into the Wei Family. Be it as a child or as an adult, they thought her life was simply perfect without any struggle. She remembered back in high school when she would rant to her so-called "friends" about how tough her life was, only to find out these so-called friends find her inner turmoil more like a brag and irritating. They found her ungrateful for still complaining. It was the reason she learned how to choose her words carefully around people and to slowly distance herself from others.
Perhaps that was why the Zhu boys were the only real friends she had till adulthood. It was because Dominic wouldn’t judge her if she said something about her struggle. At least, he wouldn’t laugh or react anything to her real feelings. Axel would join her in complaining about the hardships in life. Silas, on the other hand, would comfort her in his own way. Though in Silas’ case, she could somehow see herself in him. Which explained why she did her best, going over and beyond to help him.
In other words, this situation wouldn’t change her with a snap of a finger.
Going out of the room, Ivy didn’t have a hard time finding her way to the mezzanine than the first time. Standing by the railing, she looked over to the ground floor, catching some people going in and out of the entrance.
’There’s more people here now,’ she thought, but not surprised. ’If people call him boss, of course, he got more people under his wing.’
Ivy took a deep breath as she clasped the railing tighter. When she swallowed the lump in her throat, she recollected her thoughts and slowly made her way to the stairs. The second she was a step away from the stair landing, she heard familiar voices. Turning her head, she caught this big muscled blessed man bumping his giant fists against each other.
"This is annoying! So annoying! Boss, this is unfair!" the muscled man complained, standing in front of Dane, who was busy wiping a rifle on the couch. "Why did you only send Romnick and that old man to that place?! I wanted to put an end to that little lizard myself!"
The man with this incredibly huge physique named Alfred went on and on, clasping his short hair in distress. Meanwhile, Dane continued to ignore him as if he couldn’t see that giant human rock right in front of him.
"Boss!" Alfred called in distress before his brows rose, turning his head to the person standing on the steps of the stairs. His eyes lit up the moment he locked eyes with Ivy. "Oh! Boss, your trophy is awake!"
