"Let me drive you home," said Jim. Without waiting for her response, he stood up and walked outside, looking a little annoyed.
Janice followed her out immediately.
Looking at her back, Eva sighed. It must be very painful to love someone who no longer loved her.
In the Rong Mansion, Ivy was also full of distress.
Recently, she had a very powerful rival in love.
She was Poppy, the daughter of an upstart in City C. Recently, she was responsible for the plan to develop the Fashion Coast City with BELLA.
Poppy had always been an admirer of Hanson. As soon as she graduated from London Design School, she returned to her home country and worked in her father's company.
Ivy was depressed. Her rival in love was too powerful.
She was both beauty and wisdom.
She felt threatened.
"Sister in law, what do you think I should do?" She lowered her head, her chin almost touching the collar.
"Ivy, you have to be confident in yourself. You are the daughter of our Rong family. You are the best in appearance, figure, talent and birth. For those rivals in love, let's get rid of them one by one," said Essie, stroking her head.
"Brother Hanson's heart is so unpredictable. Sometimes he is gentle to me, and sometimes he completely takes me as a passer-by, which makes me worry about gain and loss every day," said Ivy sadly.
"Auntie, don't worry. Poppy must be wishful thinking. My daddy Hanson won't like her. My daddy Hanson only likes auntie only," said Mili, patting her on the shoulder.
"Tonight, brother Hanson didn't invite me to the celebrity ball in Yang City. Sister in law, do you think he invited Poppy?" At the thought of Poppy holding Hanson's arm to attend the ball, Ivy felt terrible and almost burst into tears.
"Aunt, don't worry. I'll help you call daddy Hanson and ask him about it," Mili said and picked up the phone.
"Daddy Hanson, who are you going to invite to be your partner for the ball tonight?" Mili asked as soon as a deep and magnetic voice came through the phone.
"Baby, daddy is not going to the ball today. I have something to deal with in the company," said Hanson.
"Daddy, tomorrow is weekend. Do you have time? I want to go and play with you," Mili asked in a spoiled tone.
"Okay. Do you need daddy to pick you up?" Hanson asked with a smile.
"No, thanks. I will ask aunt to send me there," said Mili.
"Okay, see you tomorrow then." Hanson's tone was full of love.
"Bye, daddy Hanson." After hanging up the phone, Mili turned to look at Ivy and said, "Auntie, I've told you that you're overthinking. Daddy Hanson is not going to the ball tonight, so he didn't invite you."
"Okay," answered Ivy in a low voice, feeling a little better.
"Dress up well tomorrow. Keep an eye on Mili for me," said Essie, putting her arm around her shoulder.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law," said Ivy with a smile.
On the early morning of the second day, Ivy got up and dressed up. Then she went to Yang City with Mili.
Hanson planned to take them to the sea. Everyone was happy at first, but they didn't expect that an uninvited guest would come before they went out.
It was Poppy, Ivy's rival in love.
Hearing that they were going to sail, Poppy volunteered to go with them.
A shadow flitted over Ivy's face. This woman was so rude. Didn't she see that she was with Hanson? She was probably challenging her on purpose.
Looking at Poppy, Mili pouted, "I'm sorry, aunt. You don't have an appointment. We can't take you there."
Poppy glanced at her and smiled, "Then I'll make an appointment now. I have something to talk with Mr. Xia about the cooperation project. We can talk about it on the yacht."
"Auntie, we are family and we don't like outsiders to take part in our family activities. If you have something to deal with, you can come to my daddy Hanson's office on Monday to talk about it," Mili said bluntly. She didn't like her aunt's rival in love at all.
"It doesn't matter. Let Auntie Poppy go with us. It's more fun to have more people," Hanson continued, stroking her head.
Mili pursed her lips and didn't say anything. It seemed that Poppy, the glue, was determined to cling on them. She had to think a way to deal with her after they got on the yacht.
It was a sunny day. It was a good day to go to sea.
When the yacht arrived at the center of the empty sea, Poppy went to the dressing room to change into swimsuit.
