Chapter 05 Show me how it's done

"Why?" Ivy was very puzzled.

"An important person wants you to accompany him for drinks." Emma said excitedly.

An important person? Could it be the father of her child? She absolutely couldn't go to that.

"Miss Foster, please follow me." Ethan extended his hand to invite her.

"Yes."

"I'm sorry, I don't drink!" Ivy firmly refused.

"I'll do it then!" Emma eagerly seized this opportunity.

Clearing her throat, she excitedly walked into the private room and as soon as she entered, she uttered a coquettish voice, "Mr. Ashford, Ivy is here. She doesn't drink, but I can serve Mr. Ashford..."

"Get out!"

With a loud shout, Emma was thrown out of the private room.

"Emma!" Ivy quickly rushed forward to support her.

Seeing the pair of icy eyes inside the room, she couldn't help but shiver. She never expected that the baby's father had such a bad temper, showing no pity at all.

Luckily, their relationship was only a one-night stand. If she had married him, she wouldn't have had any good days.

Wait, what did Emma just call him? Mr. Ashford?

It couldn't be Alexander Ashford, right?

Impossible, Ivy shook her head. She was a person abandoned by her parents from birth. How could she be so lucky? This person definitely isn't Alexander, he just happens to have the last name Ashford!

"Why are you shaking your head? Are you unhappy with me?" Alexander on the couch coldly questioned Ivy.

"I..." Ivy didn't know how to explain her head-shaking behavior. Thinking about this man's attitude towards Emma, her sense of justice surged. She stood with her hands on her hips and said, "You're right. I am unhappy with you! You can't bully her just because you don't like Emma. I despise people like you who bully the weak with your strength! You're a heartless capitalist!"

Emma was frightened and quickly covered Ivy's mouth, whispering in her ear, "Stop talking, he is Alexander Ashford!"

Ethan also came to Ivy's side and warned in a low voice, "If you don't want to die, better shut up!"

Ivy widened her eyes in astonishment. Did she hear it correctly? This man is Alexander!

She actually secretly gave birth to Alexander's child? And she gave birth to six at once? If Alexander found out, would she even live to see tomorrow's sun?

Oh my god, she must not let Alexander know about the six little girls, or she would be finished.

Alexander stood up and approached Ivy step by step.

Everyone was terrified by this scene, and Ivy herself felt a wave of panic. Her body involuntarily retreated, and the tips of her toes quietly changed directions, planning to run away while Alexander wasn't paying attention.

Sensing Ivy's intention to escape, Alexander stepped forward in one stride and said in a domineering tone, "First, it's not because I am dissatisfied with her, but because I have seen too many women like her who can sell their souls for power and money. Second, where do you see me as a heartless capitalist? The Ashford family pays more taxes every year than anyone else, and the money donated to charity is are astronomical. Thirdly, you have no right to say I bully the weak without witnessing the cause. It was she who was handsy with me first, and I merely taught her a lesson!"

Ivy was left speechless by Alexander's words. She stared in disbelief and asked Emma, "Did you really put your hands on him?"

"I..."

Before Emma could say anything, Alexander coldly interjected, "She touched my hand!"

Touched his hand?

Ivy almost burst out laughing. "This is what you call handsy?"

"Well, then, what qualifies as handsy? Huh?" Alexander grabbed Ivy by the collar, "Show me!"

"I... I wouldn't know, I don't know!" Ivy stuttered, fear filling her eyes.

This man is truly terrifying. She must stay far away from him in the future.

"You don't know? Are you sure?" Alexander kicked the door shut with a foot and pressed Ivy against it. "Don't tell me you don't know anything."
