My mother-in-law hurt Isla and told her to get out of Anchester.
Isla is really heartbroken now; she was crying when she called ."
Jas Yinley fell silent, and Ivy Miller said, "My mother-in-law really went too far.
My uncle talking to her about severing ties was useless, and threatening her didn’t work either.
I think you’ll have to step in personally on this one."
There was a hint of excitent in Jas Yinley’s voice: "You also support dealing with that family?"
"It’s not the whole family, just my uncle’s mother. In the Sullivan family, she’s the only one who keeps stirring things up.
What she cares most about is that company, and I believe you have a way to handle her."
Jas Yinley nodded: "Alright, since you put it that way, I have no reservations.
Honestly, if it weren’t for the fact that the Sullivan family has such a good daughter-in-law, I’d have dealt with them long ago.
Now is the right opportunity, and I won’t let them off easily."
"Jas, thank you. Please make sure Isla doesn’t get hurt."
After hanging up, Ivy Miller’s brow was slightly knit with worry.
Isn’t she being bad, actually getting soone to deal with her in-laws?
But... the way her mother-in-law behaves is just so insufferable.
She destroyed Isla’s entire life, not just a little bit—all of it.
If it weren’t for her, Isla Linton might have been a happy woman.
Ivy Miller didn’t tell Henry Sullivan about this event; she knew even if he knew, he couldn’t do anything about his parents.
After all, he can’t exactly kill them, right?
Instead of letting him know and adding to his troubles, it’s better not to let him know.
Jas Yinley is definitely action-oriented. The day he received the call, he began deploying plans to deal with the Twilight Group.
It was months later, at Ivy’s birthday party, that they learned the Twilight Group was in an economic crisis.
On this day, Henry Sullivan held quite a big party for Ivy’s birthday.
Ivy Miller’s parents and relatives, Isla Linton and Jas Yinley, along with Henry Sullivan’s good friends, Faye Townsend, and Kay Forrest and his wife, were all present, except Henry’s parents.
Others didn’t know what had happened, but Ivy Miller did. He deliberately didn’t invite his parents.
During the al, Hunter Warren asked him, "Are you seriously not planning to have any dealings with your parents?
You know, today is Cynthia’s birthday."
"If they ca, they’d only spoil the mood. My mom doesn’t even like this granddaughter.
If she ca and started sneering, Ivy wouldn’t be happy, and neither would I. So what’s the point?"
Henry Sullivan clinked glasses with Hunter Warren: "Alright, let’s not talk about that anymore. Let’s drink."
Across from the Warren couple, Owen Lennon asked, "Henry, are you really not going to care about your parents now?
The Twilight Group is facing a real economic crisis. Are you just going to do nothing?"
"I’ve already said the company’s matters have nothing to do with ."
Henry Sullivan has co to terms with many things he truly doesn’t care about, like those material things that don’t belong to him.
Hunter Warren nodded: "Mm, your heart is really big. Do you know your dad has a patch of white hair from trying to raise funds recently?"
Next to them, Ivy Miller felt a bit uncomfortable hearing this.
In fact, she really quite dislikes her mother-in-law, but her father-in-law... he’s actually okay.
She glanced at Jas Yinley, and after making eye contact, they both looked away.
Henry Sullivan said, "Since I’ve signed that agreent to sever the father-son relationship with my family, I won’t turn back.
If one day the Twilight Group actually goes bankrupt, I can dutifully care for them in their old age.
But when it cos to these matters, I won’t help; I can’t really help either."
Faye Townsend sighed: "Henry brother, actually, if you just ask us for help, we’d all help you.
And I believe Jas doesn’t really want the Twilight Group to go bankrupt.
So... you can discuss it with Jas, right, Jas?"
Everyone present knew this matter couldn’t be separated from Jas Yinley.
But Jas Yinley pretended to be unaware: "Don’t ask for help unless it’s sothing to do with Ivy. I would help without hesitation.
If it’s about the Sullivan family, sorry, I’m really powerless."
As he spoke, he reached under the table to hold Isla Linton’s hand.
With so many people around, Isla Linton blushed with embarrassnt.
Luckily no one saw, otherwise it would have been too humiliating.
After a few rounds of drinks, Isla Linton got up to leave first; when she left, Jas Yinley naturally wouldn’t stay behind.
The two of them left the hotel together. She wanted to hail a cab, and Jas Yinley offered to drive her, but she refused.
Jas Yinley grabbed her wrist: "Isla, what’s wrong with you."
"Jas, I want to ask you, is there sothing you’re hiding from ."
Jas Yinley raised an eyebrow: "What are you referring to?"
"What did they an by what they said in there just now."
He smiled; she was truly clever and perceptive, even though he tried to change the topic, he couldn’t sway her thoughts.
"It ans exactly what you think it does. The Twilight Group’s current economic crisis was my doing.
Don’t ask why I did it, and don’t lecture .
I just can’t stand the Sullivan family bullying you like this.
If they dare to touch my woman, I’ll dare to retaliate."
Hearing him say this, Isla Linton’s eyes turned slightly red as she looked at his expression with so conflict.
Jas Yinley saw she seed about to cry, quickly stepped forward to comfort her: "Isla, please don’t cry.
I was worried about this, worried you’d be sad, so I didn’t tell you.
I know you’re soft-hearted; you don’t want to hurt the Sullivan family.
But have you thought about it—if you do nothing, you’ll just keep getting bullied."
As he was speaking, Isla Linton stepped forward to hug him, her face pressed to his chest: "Stop talking, Jas, stop talking."
Jas Yinley was taken aback. Was this... what he thought?
Isla Linton bit her lip slightly: "I’m sorry, Jas, I’ve been failing you for so long, it’s my fault.
I didn’t know you’ve been silently doing so much for .
You’ve been so good to , and yet I ran away from you. I’m a fool, an utter fool.
I’ve regretted it. Will you still want ?"
