Chapter 172: Chapter 172: What Is Your Relationship with Ivana Monroe?
Whether he can reach a deal or not, Oscar Olsen doesn’t care much. Even if no agreement is reached, meeting Ivana Monroe this time allows him more opportunities in the future to ignite a spark of romance with her.
After finishing the meal, Oscar was surprised when Ivana didn’t reject his offer. She mentioned she wanted to see the factory owned by Oscar’s mother first, and discuss in detail afterward.
Oscar was overjoyed and agreed immediately, raising his glass of red wine: "Thank you Miss Monroe for this opportunity. I believe my mother’s factory will not disappoint you. I wish us a pleasant cooperation in advance, cheers."
Ivana also raised her glass with a smile. Oscar drank all the wine, while she only sipped a little and put her glass down, explaining to Oscar’s somewhat displeased gaze, "I can’t handle alcohol well, please don’t mind."
The alcohol content of the red wine wasn’t high, and he’d already had several glasses by then, yet she hadn’t finished even one. He doubted she really was so intolerant of alcohol.
Ivana didn’t want to drink, and Oscar didn’t force her. Beautiful girls are meant to be cherished.
In the room next door, Leon’s mother listened to Ivana and Oscar discussing business without any flirtation or teasing, and her expression softened somewhat.
Kiki Jennings, seeing this, began to panic. She brought Leon’s mother here not to improve her opinion of Ivana but to make her think Ivana was a shameless and worthless woman.
After lunch, Oscar went to pay the bill, and the two walked downstairs together. Oscar offered to take Ivana home, but she refused, so he had to give up. As they parted, Oscar watched Ivana leave, admiring her slender figure in the golden sunlight, an exceptionally beautiful sight, and couldn’t help but blow her a kiss.
Leon’s mother hadn’t found any evidence against Ivana and was about to go home when she suddenly saw Oscar blow a kiss to Ivana, causing her pupils to contract sharply.
Kiki seized the opportunity, her heart pounding with excitement. She whispered, "Aunt, did you see? The way that man looks at Ivana is full of possessiveness. If Ivana has nothing to do with him and isn’t deliberately seducing him, why would he feel such strong possessiveness? Blowing a kiss to her right there on the street, it’s disgusting."
Leon’s mother thought Kiki’s words made sense, deepening her dislike for Ivana: "Such a shameless woman is unworthy of Leon."
Kiki nodded quickly, "Exactly, Leon has been deceived by her."
Oscar didn’t turn away until Ivana’s figure completely disappeared, and upon leaving, he glanced at Leon’s mother and Kiki, shocked by the disdain in their eyes.
Did he commit some heinous crime or disgraceful act? Why must these old and ugly women look at him like that?
Kiki suddenly approached him, "I ask you, what is your relationship with Ivana Monroe?"
Does she know Miss Monroe?
Oscar raised his eyebrows, a bit surprised: "What does it have to do with you?"
Kiki’s face flushed red. Facing Oscar, handsome with striking features, her heartbeat was irregular; the man was quite outstanding in appearance, not inferior to her beloved Leon.
"She’s my sister. Do you think it has anything to do with me?" Kiki gritted her teeth, enduring the disgust for Ivana, and called Ivana her sister to make Oscar speak the truth in front of Leon’s mother.
Leon’s mother didn’t quite approve of Kiki’s actions but was curious about Oscar’s answer. She also wanted to know what relationship Ivana and Oscar had, and whether it was something shameful.
Oscar was very surprised; no wonder this young girl was questioning him so angrily—it turned out she was Ivana’s sister.
Oscar’s attitude toward Kiki improved as he smiled and extended his hand: "Hi, sister, I’m Oscar. Nice to meet you. Please take care of me. I might become your brother-in-law someday!"
Kiki laughed upon hearing this.
Leon’s mother was filled with intense anger; Ivana Monroe, that little slut, was exactly as Kiki described—a shameless seductress, attracting men everywhere.
Your filthy body is unworthy of tarnishing my son, let alone marrying into the Kane family.
Don’t even think about it.
Kiki didn’t shake his hand, coldly sneered: "You’re not the only one who wants to be my brother-in-law; there are quite a few who have shared a bed with her."
Oscar was taken aback. Kiki expected to see anger on Oscar’s face, but she didn’t.
Instead, Oscar laughed, quite happily: "I prefer uninhibited women. Your sister’s experiences will show her which man is better, and which man can satisfy her both in life and in bed."
"Oh~ I’m truly sorry, little sister, you’re so young. I shouldn’t talk to you about this, corrupting a minor..."
Oscar’s words thoroughly infuriated Leon’s mother.
"Shut up, you vulgar, filthy, disgusting man..."
Oscar was bewildered by Leon’s mother’s cursing. He suddenly realized that Kiki is Ivana’s sister, and given Leon’s mother’s age, she might be Ivana’s mother. His handsome face changed dramatically.
Oh~ no, he’s completely offended Ivana’s mother. His talkative mouth got him into trouble! Why disclose his thoughts to Ivana’s sister?
He really shouldn’t have spoken...his happiness...
Ivana had just arrived at "GK" when Kiki brought Leon’s mother to "GK," pushing open Ivana’s office door.
Ivana was surprised to see them, not knowing Leon’s mother but recognizing Kiki.
Ivana frowned: "What are you doing at my company?"
Leon’s mother suddenly rushed forward, raised her hand, and slapped Ivana on the face twice.
Ivana was stunned by the blows, her ears buzzing, then heard Leon’s mother’s angry shouting.
"You shameless whore, Leon must be blind to be fooled by you. I order you to leave Leon Keane immediately, did you hear me?"
Leon’s mother was fuming all the way due to Oscar’s words, losing her senses. She couldn’t fathom how Ivana could be such a shameless, bold seductress, consorting with such uninhibited men.
At Leon’s mother’s age, what she despises most are women who lack discretion and behave promiscuously. Women like that might contract some disease that could infect her son, ruining him.
Ivana felt her cheek burning, covering it with a hand, eyes slightly red, glaring fiercely at Leon’s mother. Her knife-like gaze made Leon’s mother feel a bit apprehensive.
Leon’s mother wasn’t frightened nor did she back down; she was Leon Keane’s mother, having seen all kinds of people, why would she fear Ivana, a shameless woman?
Upon hearing she was Leon’s mother, Ivana halted her raised hand ready for a counter-slap, clenched it into a fist at her side.
