Chapter 218: Chapter 218: Her Business Is My Business
Jean Shaw raised her voice, "I knew the old man’s money couldn’t all have been donated! Turns out it was all embezzled by that little wench Ivana Monroe, and she even bought a luxury car with it."
Michelle said this car is worth tens of millions, shared among the four families, each can get at least tens of millions.
Jean Shaw was trembling with anger, how could the old man be so biased?
Adelaide Monroe was so greedy for money, hearing what Jean Shaw said, her eyes turned red with jealousy.
"Damn you, Ivana! When the old man was in the hospital, he told everyone not to make a fuss, said he wouldn’t shortchange our Lucas. Now you’ve taken all the money for yourself, squandering it away, a limited edition luxury car worth tens of millions, bought without batting an eye. Yet you didn’t give us a single penny, and you deceive us, how the hell could you still be considered human?" Adelaide cursed in rage.
Miles Monroe stood beside Adelaide, blushed when he saw Ivana, and frowned when he heard Adelaide curse Ivana, tugging at her clothes, "Mom, clarify the situation first before you speak. Don’t jump to conclusions based on hearsay."
Julian Monroe snapped back to reality, almost misled by Jean Shaw. Hearing Miles’s words, he found them reasonable, saying, "Yes, I trust Ivana’s character, even if she took the old man’s assets, she wouldn’t spend it all on a luxury car."
Ivana was also someone he watched grow up, he was aware of the child’s character; she was not someone who would waste money. When she first took over GK, the old man offered to get her an Audi TT, but Ivana refused.
Ivana’s first car was bought with money she earned herself and it was just a normal Volkswagen worth tens of thousands.
"What’s with you two father and son? Both defending Ivana?" Adelaide glared at Julian, "People change, the Ivana now is not the Ivana from six years ago. Do you not know her son is now attending a Ravenswood elite kindergarten? Seems like it’s called Dewey, and the annual tuition is enough to cover all our annual expenses."
Adelaide’s words were full of sourness, even for Lucas’s university, they couldn’t bear to spend that much sending him abroad for further studies.
Julian didn’t speak, thinking indeed people change; if Ivana took so much of the old man’s assets, she could afford a luxury car worth tens of millions.
Because, today, Ivana must cough up that money.
Leon Keane got off the car behind Ivana and heard Jean Shaw and Adelaide’s voices. He let out a cold smile and walked up to Ivana.
"I gave this car to Ivana, do you have a problem with that?"
Everyone was left dumbfounded.
Leon... Leon Keane... How is he with Ivana? And even gave such an expensive luxury car?
Michelle Monroe clenched her fingers tightly, going mad with jealousy. What’s so good about Ivana? A castoff from Zachary Heston, yet Leon Keane treats her like a treasure, giving her a limited edition luxury car without batting an eyelid.
Michelle was filled with hate. Before her wedding with Zachary Heston, he only bought her a one-carat diamond ring. She intentionally mentioned an old car several times in front of Zachary, but he never offered to buy her a hundred-thousand-dollar imported car.
Compared to Leon Keane, there’s simply no comparison to Zachary Heston.
Why does Ivana have such luck? Meeting Leon Keane?
Jean Shaw loathed Leon Keane, hating him to the core, "What’s your relationship with her? Just because you say this car is yours, does that make it true? I insist she embezzled the old man’s money to buy it, otherwise where did all the money go?"
Kimberly Monroe and Sylvia Monroe snapped out of it, chiming in.
"Yeah, Leon Keane, this is a Monroe family matter, it has nothing to do with an outsider like you, don’t stick your nose where it doesn’t belong."
Leon Keane wrapped his arm around Ivana’s shoulder, a tender gesture sparking imagination.
Leon said, "How is it unrelated? Ivana is my wife, her matters are my matters."
This news struck everyone like thunder hitting them.
Jean Shaw and Michelle were stunned, their faces twisting in an instant.
Adelaide was dumbfounded, and Julian’s expression was intriguing; he looked at Leon, then at Ivana, as if seeing a treasure.
Kimberly and Sylvia’s eyes were filled with nothing but jealousy.
They were Ivana’s aunts, only a dozen years older than her. When Ivana was little, they never liked her and never bought her anything, the family bond weak.
If not for the old man’s assets, they would have never wanted to deal with Ivana again in their lifetime.
Therefore, Ivana’s good marriage had nothing to do with them.
Ivana felt Leon’s hand reaching into his suit pocket over his chest, he seemed to be planning to pull out the marriage certificate for everyone to see again?
Jean Shaw and the others didn’t speak.
Ivana heard Leon’s faint sigh, a twitch forming at the corner of her mouth.
Ivana said, "The grandfather’s assets, including this old house, were all donated. If any of you have discontent, you can go the legal route and sue me."
"If you win the lawsuit, whatever compensation is due, I’ll give it to you."
Everyone’s eyes reddened with fury.
If Ivana truly had donated the old man’s money, no matter how they sued her, they couldn’t win.
Jean Shaw roared with a ferocious expression, "Ivana, you little wench, what right do you have to donate the old man’s money, including the family house? Do you, a granddaughter, have the right to make decisions about the old man’s home?"
Adelaide was shocked, thinking Ivana would at least leave the family house for Lucas, but it turns out... Ivana was this ruthless.
Adelaide, with reddened eyes, said, "The family house is the Monroe family’s root! Ivana, you want to pull out even the roots of the Monroes, you’ve gone too far. I don’t care, you must find a way to keep the family house."
Kimberly gritted her teeth, "Ivana, you squanderer, it’s one thing if you waste your own family, but now you waste the old man’s. I don’t care; you must return all the money taken, including the old house money."
Sylvia, "Isn’t Leon Keane your husband? If you don’t have the money, let Leon Keane pay, he has so much money; he won’t mind this bit."
All the focus shifted to Leon.
Ivana frowned, these shameless people were even going after Leon’s money.
However, she would never let Leon give them money.
Julian pulled Adelaide, scolding, "What nonsense are you talking? Ivana is the old man’s favorite granddaughter, everything she does represents his wishes."
Adelaide thought Julian had gone mad, helping Ivana?
Adelaide was about to speak when Julian gave her a silencing look.
Miles didn’t have as many thoughts as Julian. Seeing so many targeting Ivana over money embarrassed him, and also made him a bit angry inside.
