Chapter 2792
"Are you okay?!" The bodyguard hurried over to support Robert to keep him from falling.Robert shook his head and turned to look at the woman wailing on the ground."Are you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital?" He walked over to try and help her up.Just then, Ivy heard all the noise and walked out of the mansion."Robert, what's going on? What happened?" Ivy stepped out in just her slippers as she was in a hurry to see what had happened.Robert covered his face as he struggled to explain himself.In truth, there was no need for an explanation because anyone would be able to tell what was happening from the way the woman was dressed.He had only wanted the escort to spend some time with his sister and him, but the woman clearly had other ideas on her mind. "Um..." Ivy walked over to Robert and scratched her head awkwardly. "Robert, is this the escort you hired?"He pursed his lips and nodded."Why would you hit me? What did I do to deserve this? Don't think that you can

The bodyguard immediately grabbed the woman and escorted her out.He had never seen Robert so angry before. Robert had always been a gentleman and had been kind not only to his family but also to those who work for him."Robert, don't get upset. It's a complicated world out there, and it's normal that there are things we don't know." Ivy consoled Robert. "Don't worry. I won't tell Mom and Dad, or Hayden and Layla for that matter."Robert turned to look at Ivy with flushed cheeks. "Ivy, do you think that the people who remove grey hair are actually…""It can't be! I saw their accounts, and it is filled with pictures and videos of them actually removing gray hair for customers!" Ivy exclaimed."Oh... I guess I was just too naive."The two chatted along, not noticing that one of the servants was holding her phone. "Robert, Ivy, none of you answered your phone just now, so your mom called me instead." The servant had been standing by the door and witnessed the entire exchange after r

"Robert, you are more innocent than I think you are." Ivy was amused by what happened but did not dare to laugh seeing how embarrassed he looked. Robert rubbed his nose awkwardly."I guess that just means that all the friends you've been hanging out with are innocent as well," Ivy concluded. "Which is great. It means that you have great friends."Robert was so utterly humiliated that he did not mind being teased by his sister."Dad looked into each of my friends, and he wouldn't let me hang out with them if they were bad people," Robert explained. "Our parents are really protective.""A university is its very own community." Ivy poured him a glass of water. "But I think whether a person gets influenced by bad people or not depends on them. There are people who cave in to their darkest nature even when they are surrounded by good people.""Do you think that I will become a bad person, then?" Robert took a sip of the water."Of course, not. No one in our family ever will.""Ivy,

She read aloud a few articles and Harry pointed out places where she could improve, and thus, make herself sound more impressive. Two hours had passed.The servant came over with some snacks and fruit to remind them that it was time to rest."You've improved so much, Ivy. You sound so much better now," Harry said."I said so, too, Mr. Gardner, but Ivy won't believe me," the servant said with a smile."You really did improve," he said.The servant immediately said, "I said that she can be a broadcaster now. What do you think?"Harry glanced at Ivy.Ivy waved her hands without hesitation. "She is just kidding! I still need more practice.""Do you want to try being an intern, Ivy?" Harry asked. "Your winter holiday is approaching, and our TV station picks a number of students from your university for our internship program...""I heard," Ivy said sheepishly. "I've applied for it as well because my classmate encouraged me to do so. I know that interns are usually third-year and

Robert simply thought that it would be tough to work in the middle of the night.Though he would stay up late from time to time, he knew just how exhausted one would be the next morning.Ivy had never stayed up and was used to going to sleep early, so her health might be affected if she started working the night shift all of a sudden.They were not short of money, and Robert's heart ached at the thought that Ivy might suffer, which was exactly what he assumed his parents would think as well."Not yet! It's late at night in Bridgedale right now. They are probably asleep." Ivy did not want to disturb her parents. "I will send them a message! Once they see it, they will call me.""Okay. So you've agreed to take the internship, then?" he asked.Ivy nodded. "It's a rare opportunity, so I definitely have to take it. I was hesitant before because I didn't think I was qualified. They usually hire third-year and fourth-year students, and I'm just half a year into my first year...""You w

"Yeah! Dad, I've talked to Robert as well. I know that you are worried about the night shift, but I don't think it's an issue, nor should it be something that stops me from growing. I can sleep during the day and work at night."Ivy had already decided to take the internship, and sensing the determination in her tone, Elliot knew that there was nothing he could do. If he told her he did not want her to take the internship, he knew she would not take it, but he also knew that it would upset her. "I will ask Harry to give you an earlier show." He was still reluctant to let his daughter work the night shift."Dad, don't trouble him," Ivy said sternly. "This is a rule of the TV station, and I don't want to be the exception to it. Besides, I'm hardly qualified to be in any of the other shows. If you get me into those, I might be too nervous to do my best."Elliot fell silent at her words, finally deciding to let her make her own choices.He knew that Ivy was perfectly capable of facin

"You want to thank him?" Elliot did not see the necessity of that because he paid Harry handsomely.Since Harry had placed Ivy on the night shift, Harry should be grateful that Elliot did not blame him at all."It's not what you think. I haven't met him yet, and I want to see him. Our daughter loves TV hosts, right? Harry is experienced, and it is natural that she would be happy to have him as her mentor.""Sure. I will arrange it when we get back," Elliot said."Um... Did you say anything else to Ivy?" Avery felt a little dizzy and closed her eyes."She is out shopping with Kiara and Rose right now. She said that it's been a while since they hung out, and she is really happy," Elliot said hoarsely. "A midnight show... We would have to stay up if we want to watch her show..."Since it is Ivy's first time on television, Elliot was determined to watch it."All TV shows have reruns, right? You can wait for that instead," Avery said lazily. "But since it's her first time doing this,
Chapter 2799
Ten days later, Eric was discharged from the hospital and boarded Elliot's private jet right away to head back to Aryadelle.Once he landed, Elliot had his subordinates send Eric and his parents back to their home.As the car drove away, Elliot tapped Layla on the shoulder. "Let's go! We are heading home as well. Your brother and sister miss you."She sobered and said gloomily, "Dad, he still hasn't agreed to marry me.""There's no point forcing him into it. Let's wait until he gets better!"She scowled and mumbled, "He is so stubborn!""If he wasn't like that, you wouldn't love him so much," Elliot commented.Elliot was right.Layla loved Eric for his talent but also for his character.It was important that two people had a mutual understanding of each other's characters if they wanted a long-term relationship. The two went into the car, and the driver started driving toward Ivy's university.They were going to pick Ivy up and head home together.One hour later, they pick
