The Billionaire Son-in-law 65. Williams and Mochis
"I'm on my way to your parent's house. Hopefully your mother won't be difficult." He informed Ivy on the phone as he drove to the Mochi's residence."Good luck facing her, and please honey, I know my mother can be upsetting…please don't get mad at her. You know it'll only make things worse.""I know, I'll do my best. Take care.""Don't stay out late.""I won't, I'll come right back to see you."He arrived at the Mochi's and as he expected, his mother in-law was aggravating. He tried his best to keep his cool but when she said she didn't care about their child, he couldn't stop his anger from exploding."What kind of mother are you? Are you sure you're Ivy's birth mother?""What kind of foolheaded question is that?" She demanded in anger."A real mother would never say the things you say, and they sure as hell won't do the things you do. All through Ivy's pregnancy, you never bothered about her health. She finally delivers, and you still don't care.""That's enough insults from the like

"Hey my darling." Blanche smiled as she walked into Ivy's ward."Mother?" Her mother was the last person in the world that Ivy was expecting to see. "What are you doing here?""What do you mean? I came to see you. How are you feeling dear?" She asked as she sat by her bed."I'm okay mother, thank you for coming to see me.""Don't be ridiculous, I should be apologising for not coming to see you sooner.""It's okay, seeing you here is more than enough for me.""Aw, you say the nicest things. I heard you named him Desmond.""Yes, do you like it?""It's not a bad name. I got something for him." She brought out a little grocery bag and handed it to Ivy."Aww that's so sweet, you didn't have to." She brought out the items inside. "They're beautiful mother, thank you."It was a matching blue beanie and socks with the prettiest shawl Ivy had ever seen."It's nothing, take it as my apology gift.""What are you apologising for?""I feel like I'm the one who put you in all this mess. If I wasn't
The Billionaire Son-in-law 67. Family Meeting.
Lucas stared at Ivy who couldn't stop shaking. The fact that Platana had the guts to threaten his wife infuriated him even more. Grover said he hadn't gotten any concrete evidence against him but he was still digging. Blanche also hadn't said anything useful as well but with the current situation of things, he would have to press her harder."What are we going to do Lucas?" The panic is her eyes was as clear as a bell."You don't have to worry my love, I'll protect you and our son. I'll never let any harm come to either of you." He meant it, he was going to do everything he could to protect his family, even if he had to lay down his life in the process. "Can't we get him arrested? I mean, he did threaten me.""I doubt if that'll do us any good, we have to think of something else.""Okay, but do you think I'm safe here?""I'll talk to doctor Julie and see if we can take you home today.""Okay. Please do, and please, can you stay with me today? I know it might be demanding too much bu
The Billionaire Son-in-law 68. Family Meeting: Conclusion.
So far the meeting had been very unproductive. They hadn't discussed the main reason of their gathering, instead they were getting in each other's faces. Ivy who was always calm was inflamed, coming up against her mother at every given opportunity and Blanche wasn't ready to admit that she was wrong.Lucas didn't interfere for two reasons. One, he didn't have the strength to deal with Blanche and her rabble rouser attitude. And two, he believed that if they were going to get anywhere with their meeting, they would have to pour out all that was on their mind."You're making a big deal out of nothing Ivy. This Platana issue shouldn't be a reason for you to hate me." Blanche defended herself, annoying Lucas more than he already was before."That's the thing with you mother, you never know when to admit that you're wrong. I'm not angry about Platana, I'm angry about the fact that you're blaming me for all this.""I was simply speaking from my point of view. Peter dear, please tell me if I

"Are you sure you'll be okay with letting go of that money?" Lucas asked his wife as they laid in bed. "I mean you might need it for other things.""Like what?" Ivy asked, raising her brows at him."I don't know, girl stuffs."Ivy laughed at his reply. "Girl stuff huh? Well I don't have any girl stuffs I need at the moment.""Okay. How are things going with the mall project?""Mike said construction is almost done and now they need a supplier. He actually made a list.""Oh so have you decided?" "To be honest, I haven't found any one I like on the list. They're all well known suppliers but I feel that approaching any of them will be too…ordinary.""What do you suggest we do then?""We?""Uh I mean, the company where I work. I'm a staff so I think I can say we." He chuckled at Ivy's smiling face."Fine, I guess you can say we. Anyway, I feel the company should try another approach. Maybe put an annotation online saying you're in need of a supplier for the mall.""But wouldn't that be t
The Billionaire Son-in-law 70. Platana.
"He approved it." Ivy announced ecstatically at the dinner table."Approved what?" Lucas asked, even though he already knew what she meant."Your boss, he approved my proposal.""I told you he would, he loves unique ideas like that. And no one has unique ideas like my Ivy." He complimented her and she blushed. "Congratulations honey, I'm proud of you.""Thank you."Lucas was finally happy to see a smile on her face again because she had been doleful since Platana had called her. His smile dissipated when he remembered Platana. Just two days were left from the one week ultimatum he gave to Ivy. He hoped that Grover's new update would be helpful to them because if it wasn't, he didn't know what else he could do.He didn't want to turn to Tracy for help unless it was absolutely necessary but with the way things were headed, he might have to."Lucas, what's wrong?" Ivy noticed the frown on his face and she touched his hand lightly. "I don't like seeing you this way.""I'm okay love, I'm o

"How are things going with the supplier contest?" Lucas asked as he walked to the garage with Mike."Well, let's just say I have more than enough on my plate at the moment." He replied absent mindedly."That stressful huh?""Very." He turned his phone to Lucas to show him he was still busy with it. "It sure would help if I had like…I don't know, maybe an assistant?""I've been thinking about that too. Why don't you ask Becky and Charlie to work with you?""Ask?" Knowing the kind of person Becky was, she would never do anything unless it was an order."You can tell them I assigned them to help you with the contest.""Thank you. I really need all the help I can get.""I'm sorry I got you into all this mess." "It's my job," Mike and Grover were literally the same thing, they were always too modest. "…and Ivy's idea was really nice. Among the suppliers list, I've noticed some that aren't really in the mainstream but they have refreshing ideas.""That's good news. Don't worry, the hospita

"Mother, I don't think I'm of the same mind with you on this. Your plan is like hanging from a thread, I don't think I'll work out the way you want it to.""Don't be a doubting thomas Peter. It's going to go well. We won't tell anyone, and all preparations will be made in holes and corners.""Won't we tell Ivy?, I mean we can't exclude her from our arrangements.""Do you think she's going to agree with us? You know how stubborn your sister is, we have no other choice.""But mother–""That's enough buts! Are you coming with me or not?""I can't leave you by yourself.""That's my boy, I know I can always count on you."★★★"Did you receive the payment?""Yes sir, you're very gracious sir.""Just keep doing your job, and your payment will always be on time.""Thank you sir.""So, what is that woman up to now?""I don't think she has any new plan for now.""Are you sure? If I find out from somewhere else that she is up to something, you'll pay dearly for it. So think hard.""Well, I don't
