Transmigrated: I Became My Nemesis's Woman novel Chapter 148

Chapter 148: As long as he doesn’t goes looking for them.

"Wow, look at these pictures. You two look amazing," Lola said as she flipped through the magazine featuring Fin’s photographs.

Sal glanced over and nodded in agreement.

"They really do," he said. "And what’s even more satisfying is that nobody is attacking Ivy anymore."

He turned his phone toward Lola, showing her the comments section. Most of the responses were overwhelmingly positive.

Lola let out a relieved sigh.

"I honestly didn’t expect Kevin to make such a big public statement," she admitted. "But I guess James can finally breathe a sigh of relief. So can everyone who plans to collaborate with Kevin in the future."

She genuinely appreciated the step Kevin had taken.

"By the way," Lola added, turning toward Ivy, "we already have several photoshoots lined up."

The photos from Ivy’s campaign had only been released a few hours ago, yet brands were already reaching out with collaboration offers.

What surprised everyone most was that a newcomer like Ivy had managed to secure a music video opportunity almost immediately after her launch.

"People are finally noticing you," Sal said.

His words drew Ivy’s attention.

Only Sal and Lola knew the real reason she had chosen modeling as her career.

And judging by the opportunities pouring in, her plan seemed to be working.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the city, Logan was enjoying a quiet afternoon tea with his wife when his phone rang.

The caller ID displayed a familiar name.

Karl.

"Honey, excuse me for a minute," Logan said apologetically before stepping away to answer.

"Yes, Karl. Any updates on the girl?" he asked.

"Yes, Boss," Karl replied. "I’ve sent all the details to your email, along with her recent photographs."

A relieved smile crossed Logan’s face.

"Good."

After ending the call, he immediately opened his email.

The file contained detailed information about the girl, along with several photographs.

The moment he opened the images, his expression changed.

A faint smile tugged at the corner of his lips.

"So this is Ivy Ford."

His gaze lingered on the screen.

"So he kept his word after all."

He carefully read through the report Karl had compiled.

The more he learned, the more interested he became.

"Now that you’re finally in the public eye," he murmured to himself, "keeping track of you won’t be difficult anymore."

After closing the file, he returned to the garden where his wife, Halley, was waiting.

The moment he sat down, Halley frowned.

"I thought you promised not to work today."

Logan chuckled and picked up his teacup.

"I know. But it was an important call."

The apologetic tone in his voice softened her expression immediately.

Halley had undergone two surgeries to remove tumors, but her condition continued to worsen.

The most recent operation had failed to produce the results the doctors had hoped for.

Since then, Logan had gradually stepped away from work, dedicating most of his time to caring for her.

The couple had never been blessed with children.

For decades, they had been each other’s entire world.

Now, watching the woman he loved grow weaker with each passing day, Logan felt helpless.

No amount of money, influence, or power could guarantee a miracle.

And yet, every day, he found himself praying for one.

Halley suddenly fell silent, and Logan couldn’t help but notice the change in her expression.

"What happened?" he asked softly.

Halley looked up at him, her eyes filled with remorse.

"I’m causing you trouble, aren’t I?"

Her words caught Logan off guard, but it didn’t take long for him to understand where they were coming from.

"No, you’re not," he said firmly. "And even if you were, who else would I rather be troubled by?"

A sharp ache stung his chest at the thought of her believing she was a burden.

No matter what happened, he would never stop trying to save her. As long as he was alive, he would do everything in his power to keep her alive too.

"I’m not letting anything happen to you, Halley."

His grip on her hand tightened slightly.

Halley couldn’t help but smile weakly.

"I’m not going anywhere, Logan. I haven’t troubled you that much yet."

The attempt at teasing earned a small chuckle from him.

"But that doesn’t mean you should ignore the work you originally came here for."

Logan frowned.

"Karl told me you skipped the meeting with Xander Emerson."

The moment she mentioned it, he gave her a knowing look.

"Karl handled everything," Logan replied, trying to dismiss the subject.

But Halley gently squeezed his hand.

"Why are you avoiding this, Logan?" she asked quietly. "That boy sees you as his only hope."

Logan shook his head.

"It’s better if he stays away from the people his father got involved with."

His voice turned grim.

Just thinking about it sent a chill down his spine.

After what had happened to Frederick and Liliana, he never wanted anyone else to suffer the same fate simply because they had gone looking for answers they were never meant to find.

And I hope she stops too.

[Kevin’s Apartment]

Miss Ivy really is impossible to read, James thought.
