Still Loving You Nonetheless

Chapter 1258



Chapter 1258

"Because you didn't try hard enough," Mrs. Shelby grabbed Ivy by her chin, stared into her eyes furiously, and

seethed, "all you do is apologize and claim that you’ve given your best, but have you really? I've gone through

hoops and secured an opportunity for you to have Joe's child, I forced him to go visit your parent's graveyard

with you, and even got the musical show tickets for you. And what did you do? You handed over those

opportunities on a silver plate and gave it to Meredith Leighton."

Shaking her head, Ivy explained, "No! I didn’t do it on purpose, Mrs. Shelby. Joe...he..."

"Don't you dare to put all the blame on Joe!" Mrs. Shelby put her off again and went on, "If I were you, I'd have

found a chance and gotten rid of Meredith. By then, Joe would have no choice but to marry you, wouldn't it?"

Ivy was stunned.

She did not expect to hear those words from Mrs. Shelby.

"Mrs. Shelby, you...what do you mean by that?" Ivy stammered in fear.

Mrs. Shelby pulled at the corners of her lips and scoffed, "Ivy Landers, you grew up in a wealthy and influential

family, after all, didn’t you? You should have experienced those power struggles, haven't you? Don’t tell me

you don’t know what I'm talking about, hmm?" If It

"Do you really think that your parents were killed in that accident? Do you really think that it was that simple? Have you seen those people who are taking charge of the Landers Group? Isn't it obvious to you what exactly had happened to your parents?"

"No...” Ivy shook her head as tears ran down her cheeks. * It’s not like that! My parent's death was an accident, it was an accident!"

"It's up to you if you want to keep telling yourself that. After all, it's none of my business." Mrs. Shelby drank the soup and sighed softly, "I just feel sad for my best friend for having a useless husband who failed to protect the family, and for having a useless daughter who can't do anything right.”

"Mrs. Shelby, please stop. I don't want to hear them anymore," Ivy covered her ears with her hands tightly, shook her head, and went on, "I don't want to hear them, I don't want to hear them..."

"If running away makes you feel better, then keep running away," Mrs.Shelby scoffed, "I have plans of making you one of the Shelbys and with your status as Josiah’s wife, it would be a piece of cake to get rid of your stepmother and to take back your company. But since you don't have this ambition, let's forget it then."

Mrs. Shelby finished the soup and passed her the empty bowl. "Leave now. I want to get some rest."

Ivy took the bowl in her hands but she did not leave. Instead, she stood there looking at Mr. Shelby with tears in her eyes.

Mrs. Shelby took a napkin, cleaned her mouth, and took a glance at Ivy. "Why are you looking at me like that? Haven't I helped my best friend, your mother, enough? If it wasn't because I've such a lousy teammate. I'd have gotten the Landers Group back."

Ivy slowly composed herself.

Wiping away the tears on her face, she looked at Mrs. Shelby and said, "Mrs. Shelby, the dead are already dead. Even if I get back the Landers Group, it won't bring my parents back alive. SO...I just want to live in the present and take good care of my child. If you really care about my mother as her friend, please, would you just let me free..."

Fuming, Mrs. Shelby slapped Ivy on her face again. "You useless piece of rag! If I were your mother, I’d have killed you myself!"

This time, Ivy did not feel any pain at all. Because the pain that she was feeling in her heart was too strong.

Grabbing onto Mrs. Shelby's blouse, she pleaded again, " Mrs. Shelby, tell me where my child is, please tell me where she is.”

"I will. Only when you get married to Josiah." Mrs. Shelby pushed her away, got up onto her feet, and said, " Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Get out. I want to rest."

"Mrs. Shelby...’’

"Stop calling me that," Mrs. Shelby cut her off coldy.

Biting down on her lips, Ivy bit the bullet and pleaded again, "Mrs. Shelby, please just tell me how she is doing,

my child...is she really not being treated?"

"Do you really think that I'd leave the little b*stard of yours in a hospital so that you could find her?"

Mrs. Shelby then walked out of the door.

Feeling devastated, Ivy fell onto the floor and closed her eyes.

Night came and Meredith went to check on the kids in their room to find that Ivy was also in the room.
