CHAPTER 30: CHAPTER 30: SOPHIE REALLY IS HIS AND IVY SUMMERS’ CHILD

The servant came down from upstairs and said to Ivy Summers, "Miss Summers, the young master is asking for you upstairs."

Ivy Summers took a deep breath, constantly telling herself not to jump to absolute conclusions before everything was clear.

What if, just what if...

What if it’s just a misunderstanding?

With this mindset, Ivy Summers went to Damien Lancaster’s study.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Rachel Shaw found Nina Summers.

After hearing Rachel Shaw’s words, Nina Summers was shocked.

"That bitch Ivy Summers is back? Didn’t she disappear for five years? How could she possibly come back?"

It was as if Ivy Summers had evaporated from the world for five years; Nina Summers almost believed she was dead.

"Damien found her in Yrador, Nina, I know you hate her too. She’s our common enemy, so you have to help me."

Nina Summers always disliked Ivy Summers, who was great at everything since they were young, learning anything effortlessly.

Everyone liked her; she was the luminous moon in the sky, so dazzling, while her little glow was completely ignored next to hers.

Ivy Summers even married into a rich family like the Lancasters, becoming a young madam; their lives were worlds apart.

Why did Ivy Summers have a brain that could pick up anything instantly?

Why could Ivy Summers marry into the Lancaster family?

She was not convinced.

She just had to surpass Ivy Summers, to see her downfall, and for no other reason but pride.

So Ivy Summers absolutely can’t become the Young Madam Lancaster again.

"Alright, I’ll help you. What do you want me to do?"

"Watch her for me, see if there’s a child around her, and tell me if there is."

Ivy Summers walked into Damien Lancaster’s study, which, as usual, was decorated in black and white, giving a full sense of oppression as soon as one entered.

This kind of decoration was favored only by someone as cold as Damien Lancaster.

"How did you break out?" Damien, who was reading a document, put away his pen and looked up at her with his deep, dark eyes.

Ivy Summers, watching Damien Lancaster, showed no expression on her delicate features, but her heart was already pounding like a drum.

Damien Lancaster nodded slightly, signaling the servant to leave.

The servant left, closing the door behind, leaving only Ivy Summers and Damien Lancaster in the study.

The silence added a few more layers of pressure to the air.

Ivy Summers held back a corner of her mouth, "I’m not a criminal, don’t make it sound so horrible."

Damien Lancaster raised an eyebrow, and Ivy Summers only heard him give a cold laugh.

Damien Lancaster had no idea how she managed to commit misdeeds with such confidence; if he hadn’t covered for her, she’d be sitting in the defendant’s seat by now.

Hearing his cold laugh, Ivy Summers felt more psychological pressure. She tried hard not to let him see her nervousness.

He asked, "So why did you come here?"

Ivy Summers didn’t want to waste words with him and directly asked, "What did you mean last night? Why did you have two people watching my house?"

Damien Lancaster originally intended to deal with Sophie’s situation first before confronting Ivy Summers, but he didn’t expect her to come to him willingly.

The key was that she had the audacity to ask.

Thinking about last night, rage surged within Damien Lancaster, "Don’t you know what you’ve done? And you ask why I had people watching you, to prevent you from running away."

Sure enough.

He was indeed afraid she would run away with the child.

He had indeed discovered the child.

Ivy Summers stiffened and silently clenched her fists, her heart cold as ice.

Fine.

Since he discovered, then let’s lay everything out today.

Ivy Summers looked up, "Fine, I understand, it’s all about the child..."

"Ding-dong."

"Ding-dong."

"Ding-dong."

The noise of several WeChat messages interrupted Ivy Summers. She frowned slightly, raised her phone, and looked at the messages.

Noah Scott sent a photo, showing two cartoon figures on the Lancaster Group’s lobby screen with large words: I am a jerk, I am a bitch, we are a match made in heaven.

Noah Scott: The incident from last night, a mysterious hacker hacked into Lancaster’s system.

Noah Scott: Guess who did it.

Ivy Summers’ pupils contracted slightly.

Last night, someone hacked into the Lancaster system.

A hacker?

The little figures in the photo clearly resembled Damien Lancaster and Rachel Shaw.

Did Nathan and Leo do it?

Probably no one else could have.

Ivy Summers realized so Nathan and Leo hacked into the Lancaster system, got caught by Damien Lancaster, and were tracked to her home.

Seeing her, Damien Lancaster mistakenly thought she did it, which was why he was so angry last night wanting an explanation.

Ivy Summers quickly recalled last night’s situation and understood what had happened.

So it was her misunderstanding.

What Damien Lancaster wanted was an explanation for the prank, unrelated to the child, otherwise, he would have taken the child last night.

Ivy Summers’ mouth twitched, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

She put away her phone, trying to maintain a calm facade, and continued with her earlier words, "Yes, I know, I was upset about the incident with Rachel Shaw nearly pouring hot water on the child yesterday, and my hand, you didn’t believe me, so I had to take revenge my way."

A deeper chill spread across Damien Lancaster’s face. "Childish, boring."

Ivy Summers pretended to be angry and questioned, "I’m childish, I’m boring, Damien Lancaster, she did it on purpose yesterday, or how could she aim so accurately at the child, can’t you see that?"

Damien Lancaster’s brow furrowed slightly, "I said it was an accident, she didn’t do it on purpose."

Ivy Summers gritted her teeth.

"Idiot."

Performing anger flawlessly, she insulted him and turned to leave.

As she left, Ivy Summers quickly messaged Ella Morgan, telling her Damien Lancaster hadn’t figured it out and that she could come and pick up Sophie.

Ella Morgan replied immediately with an "Okay" and a wind-wheeling emoticon.

As Ivy Summers walked, she patted her chest, relieved. Close one, she almost revealed herself just a second too soon.

Luckily, Damien Lancaster didn’t find out.

Ivy Summers hurried downstairs.

Seeing Ivy Summers coming down, Sophie ran over, "Mommy, when can we leave?"

Seeing no one around, Ivy Summers excitedly hugged Sophie and twirled her around joyfully.

"Sophie, we won’t be separated, woo woo woo...you scared Mommy to death, Sophie."

Sophie, with her little head resting, was dizzy from being spun, her big eyes filled with more confusion.

Sophie will always be with Mommy, why wouldn’t we be together?

"Mommy, Sophie will never be apart from Mommy."

Sophie hugged her mommy warmly, "Mommy, don’t cry, Sophie gives you a hug."

Ivy Summers let go of Sophie, made a hushing gesture, and quietly said, "Sophie, don’t call me Mommy here, it’s too risky, can be discovered."

"Okay, Mommy, Sophie won’t call Mommy, Mommy anymore." Sophie raised her chubby hand to cover her mouth.

Seeing that no one was around, Sophie mischievously dropped her hand and sneakily asked, "Mommy, is this alright now?"

Ivy Summers, "Uh..."

Her silly daughter.

Damien Lancaster came down from upstairs, just as he saw Ivy Summers and Sophie huddled together, not knowing what they were doing.

But clearly, Damien Lancaster heard Sophie say, "Mommy, Sophie missed you so much..."

Ivy Summers stroked Sophie’s head again, saying, "Sophie, soon you’ll be able to go home with Mommy, isn’t that exciting?"

Hearing this, Damien Lancaster’s heart trembled.

Slowing his steps,

Mommy?

Sophie called Ivy Summers Mommy!

This time she’s truly calling Ivy Summers Mommy.

Sophie really is his and Ivy Summers’ child!
