Chapter 164

Since gaining her freedom, Kiara had been haunted by her past despite receiving money from Ivy.

After years of labor on the farm, her once youthful skin transformed into a weathered

state.

Despite being in her twenties, an age of youthful vigor, she now resembled a woman in her forties or fifties.

Each time she washed up and looked in the mirror, she felt she was looking at a

stranger.

Where had her looks that were once praised by everyone gone?

She asked herself repeatedly.

Eventually, she attributed all this to Maxwell.

Ivy informed her that Maxwell’s being so ruthless was for Katherine, who was also the current CEO of Larson Corporation in Dellmoor, Kimberly. Hence, Kiara harbored resentment toward Kimberly

Kiara still held illusions about Christopher, the man who had once treated her well, spending money on her at the slightest request.

However, she still wasn’t aware that he had used her as a tool back then.

He aimed to stimulate Katherine through her and make her take the initiative to divorce him.

Since Kiara couldn’t stand her rough and gloomy skin, she promptly went to Kepraria, where she was once a frequent visitor as a celebrity. She was familiar with the way there.

She spent a lot of money given by Ivy, almost half of it, to alter her appearance as she was worried that if she were to meet Christopher again, he wouldn’t recognize her and might even disdain her.

Aware of Kiara’s whereabouts, Ivy sarcastically thought, ‘Indeed, women are the most foolish creatures in the world.

Despite the hellish life she had led for several years, Kiara hadn’t turned into a cold devil, all because of her expectations.

At that moment, Ivy felt deep down that men truly caused harm.

However, Ivy muttered to herself. “He doesn’t belong to me, and naturally, he won’t

Chapter 161

belong to you.”

Upon receiving news of Kiara’s return to the country, Ivy promptly visited.

Her meticulously restored eyebrows, unappreciated and unpraised, seemed like a waste of a beautiful creation.

When Kiara opened the door and saw Ivy, she welcomed the latter in but showed no

extra expressions.

“Sure enough, you are a beauty!” Ivy never hesitated to compliment others.

It came almost naturally,

Having spent many years in the entertainment industry, Kiara has met many people.

At first glance, she could tell that Ivy wasn’t an easy character to deal with.

Nevertheless, Ivy was, indeed, her savior.

Thus, she had no choice but to deal with Ivy.

Ivy urged. “Are you ready?”

She was referring to when Kiara could leave for Dellmoor.

Kiara hadn’t anticipated such urgency and initially wanted to stay in Norham for a few more days, daydreaming about a chance encounter with Christopher, even if it was only from a distance.

Truthfully, during those years in Alendor, if it weren’t for her lingering fantasy about. him, she probably wouldn’t have survived until today.

She knew she was being obsessive, but she willingly embraced it.

Kiara replied calmly and confidently, “I’ll leave in two days.”

Ivy understood what Kiara had in mind and didn’t want to push too hard.

After all, rabbits, when cornered, might bite.

What was more, she was a venomous scorpion.

After Ivy lefi, Kiara took a deep breath.

She was on guard every time she talked to Ivy.

As it was almost time for Christopher to get off work, Kiara spent some time touching

herself before heading out to try her luck.

Entering Levine Group was definitely not an option.

If she were discovered, she might be sent back to the Alendor farm, the place of her nightmares.

She rented a car and positioned herself on the road that Levine Group’s vehicles must pass through.

Soon, a familiar license plate appeared in her sight

After the car passed by, she turned and followed it.

Indeed, it was Christopher’s car.

She had long been well-versed in everything about Christopher, just like memorizing lines in her acting career.

Instead of heading home, Christopher detoured to a bakery.

In the afternoon, Lilian called and expressed her craving for the bun from that particular bakery.

Christopher, who had never been to that bakery before, was given the address by Lilian.

She reminded him that Katherine used to frequent this bakery.

Whenever she craved the bun, Katherine would buy it for her, rain or shine.

Christopher deliberately got off work on time today to see what was remarkable about the bakery, enough to captivate the two ladies.

Following Christopher to the bakery, Kiara saw him striding into the shop. She excited as she finally laid eyes on the man she had yearned for day and night.

However, she was surprised to see Christopher go to buy the bread personally.

was

In her memory, he never did such things himself. He would delegate the task to his assistant, even when he needed something.

It seemed that he had changed over the years.

After observing for a while, she saw Christopher coming out with several shopping bags.

Then, Kiara continued to tail him.

Eventually, he took the route back to the Levine manor.

Kiara discreetly trailed him until they reached the outskirts. There, she decided not to

Chapter 161

follow any longer, fearing that the spar se population might lead to her discovery.

In fact, Christopher had sensed he was being followed when he exited the bakery.

However, after scanning the surroundings and finding no suspicious figures, he shook his head, attributing it to his overactive nerves.

Lilian was delighted, using the excuse of wanting bread to get Christopher to visit.

She could have sent a serv ant to buy it if she genuinely wanted bread. Instead, she wanted to see Christopher and subtly tell him information about Katherine.

As for Olivia and Vincent, their openness and trust in each other led them to decide to move forward with their marriage plans..

Before heading home, Vincent told Thomas he would be bringing his girlfriend.

Coincidentally, on that day, Jaxon also returned to the Sullivan residence.

It was a peculiar timing.

Thomas received the call, but Vincent hung up before he could explain.

Upon arriving at the Sullivan residence, Vincent felt something was amiss. He wondered why the atmosphere at home was so lively, as he hadn’t informed anyone about bringing his girlfriend in advance.

Typically, the entire family wouldn’t gather at this hour.

Olivia was also puzzled. “Is it always this lively at home?”

After asking this question, their car entered the courtyard.

A familiar face appeared before their eyes.

She was startled as the person was none other than Jaxon. “Why is he here at the Sullivan residence at this hour?”

Vincent also found the situation strange.

However, at that moment, he had no way out. This was his home.

Although he didn’t want to see Jaxon, he had to assume the role of the head of the household.

After getting out of the car, he held Olivia’s hand and walked toward everyone sweetly.

Many people were unaware that Vincent would return that day.

They only knew that Thomas had mentioned there was something important to

announce.
