A Graduation Gift novel Chapter 447

"Don't worry, I'm here. I'll do everything in my power to help you," he whispered softly into her ears.

His embrace was warm, melting away the ice Cassandra felt both physically and mentally from the whole ordeal. Cassandra looked up into his eyes, lost in the tenderness he was giving.

Across town, Ivy had a bright smile on her face. "Here is the document you asked,"

she said, handing over the flash drive she obtained from Adrian to Clark, and Clark's face lit up with excitement.

"Ivy, I cannot believe you took this risk for us. I don't know what to say."

He seemed truly touched by the gesture. Ivy gave a sigh of relief, her uneasy heart finally feeling more settled.

"No, don't worry about it. You know I'd do anything for you."

It should make hay while the sun shines. Ivy hurriedly expressed her attitude toward him.

"Did you get Joel to help you out? Did he get caught?" Clark inquired.

Joel was working in the Tang Group and Clark knew that it was a very convenient connection to have.

Ivy hesitated for a second. It hadn't been Joel who helped her but she wasn't about to tell Clark that it was Adrian who had stepped in and stole it from Lionel.

"He was careful and I don't believe anyone saw him."

Technically, she wasn't lying and what Clark didn't know would not kill him.

And he was none the wiser, as she expected.

"Joel probably won't go far in the Tang Group and when it all comes to an end, he'll be a great fit for the Dawn Star Group. I'll tell Arthur to find a proper position. And he won't be bullied like he was over at the Tang Group."

Ivy was a little taken aback that Clark so easily offered her brother a job.

It wouldn't be long before the Tang Group fell and Dawn Star Group would rise to replace them. If Joel managed to weasel his way in, it wouldn't put all her efforts over the past few years to waste.

"Thank you, Clark! That's so sweet." Ivy faked her sweetest voice.

She was trying to turn on the charm, moving ever closer to him. But he barely noticed, transfixed by the flash drive he now held in his hands.

In fact, her futile attempts to flirt had not gotten past him. He sneered silently. He would never lay a finger on Ivy. She was nothing to him but a chess piece in his big game and when her usefulness was exhausted, he would cast her aside without a second thought.

"It's getting late. You should go home. I'll call you when everything is handled."

He wanted to get her out as soon as possible. Ivy's heart sank, disappointed he hadn't insinuated that she stayed over with him.

She didn't understand why Clark seemed to have no interest in her, no matter how hard she tried. It was ridiculous.
