Chapter 415: Chapter 415: Crisis Resolved
A certain livestreaming platform.
The total number of viewers had already reached three million and was still climbing. In just a few seconds, hundreds more would join.
The main focus of the livestream was Kiki, and the scene was the mourning hall in the mansion’s courtyard.
The audience was astounded by Kiki’s performance, and everyone was venting their frustrations.
"The Jennings family mansion, this is Kiki’s ancestral home! Does Kiki not even recognize the place where she lived as a child?"
"Recognize her ancestral home? Kiki is scared of her own parents’ bodies; do you think she’ll recognize the ancestral home?"
"Suddenly thought about my parents’ passing; I knelt in front of the funeral hall and cried my heart out, hoping they would come back from the coffin. Because parents are our closest family! How can you be afraid of your parents’ bodies? Kiki really is a disrespectful daughter."
The video played to the scene where Kiki was huddled in a corner, kneeling on the ground with her hands clasped, speaking to her father and mother.
The audience was completely shocked.
Deceit?
So this was really Kiki orchestrating everything to deceive everyone, fooling her parents, causing this tragedy?
The audience was all enraged.
"Kiki, has your conscience been eaten by dogs? To frame Ivana, you even cheated your own parents, and now they are gone. Can you live at ease for the rest of your life?"
"If I were her parents, I’d have flushed her down the toilet and into the sewer the moment she was born, drowning this heartless creature."
"Give me the address of the Jennings family’s ancestral home, don’t stop me, I’m going to beat her half to death."
"..."
At the same time.
Many people who were once misled and had attacked Ivana on her Weibo, who had cyberbullied her, were leaving comments to apologize.
"I’m sorry, I apologize for my past foolish actions."
"I’m here to apologize too, sorry, Your Majesty, I was blinded by Kiki’s facade."
"Sorry, Your Majesty, for the harm I’ve caused you. If you don’t mind, I’d like to become your fan."
"..."
In the fan group.
Ugly Duckling: "Everyone, look at Her Majesty’s Weibo, so many people are apologizing. They even want to become her fans, it’s great."
Seven-Second Memory: "I saw it, but honestly, I’m not that forgiving. These people hurt Her Majesty, and I can’t forgive them."
Ugly Duckling: "They didn’t mean to, they were all deceived by Kiki. Seven, don’t be mad at them."
Seven-Second Memory: "Being deceived gives them the right to hurt Her Majesty? To harm GK’s employees? I just can’t forgive them."
Ivana Warms the Heart: "I agree with Seven. Duckling, don’t be too kind, now they are just following the trend to become Her Majesty’s fans. They’re not doing it out of true love, and such fickleness is the least desirable."
Seven-Second Memory: "Yeah, Ivana’s right, Her Majesty isn’t planning to enter the entertainment industry and doesn’t need these fair-weather fans. Her Majesty is in design, making works that amaze women around the world."
Ugly Duckling: "I understand now, Seven and Ivana are right, props to both of you."
A few days later.
Ivana was discharged from the hospital, and Leon bought her a luxury home.
"Wow~ Is this our new home? It’s so beautiful! There’s even a huge swimming pool." Timmy Monroe’s rosy little face beamed with joy as he excitedly pointed at the pool, "Mommy, our family of four can swim in this pool in the summer."
Ivana looked at the large, clear pool and pictured herself in a swimsuit, with Leon in swim trunks, in the pool. Her fair cheeks flushed red, and she shyly replied, "Mmm."
"You can swim not only in the summer but now as well," Leon said with a smile.
"Wow~ Is that true, Daddy?"
"Of course."
Leon couldn’t help but pinch his son’s adorable little face.
This pool has a constant temperature system, suitable for swimming all year round, even with snowflakes falling from the sky.
He bought this mansion for its temperature-controlled pool.
Ivana had just recovered from a foot injury, and other exercises weren’t suitable for her. Swimming was the perfect fit. The water in this pool was obtained by having people go to N Ocean to break century-old ice blocks and airlift them back.
Centuries-old ice blocks, free from modern pollution, are ideal for health benefits.
Leon hadn’t told Ivana any of this.
Timmy ran to the poolside, dipped his small hand into the water, tested the temperature, and happily said, "The water is warm, Mommy, Timmy wants to swim."
While abroad, Ivana often took the little guy to swimming pools; though he was only six, he was a little swimming champion.
Ivana realized she hadn’t taken Timmy swimming since returning to the country and felt a bit guilty, so she nodded, "Sure, change into your swim trunks and go play!"
A servant immediately approached Timmy, "Young Master, I’m new and I’m Auntie Chapman. I’ll take you to choose your swim trunks."
Timmy politely said, "Hello, Auntie Chapman."
Auntie Chapman was surprised by Timmy’s sweet manners. Typically, young masters from wealthy families ignored the servants, and she instantly grew fond of Timmy.
A cute and polite little boy, who wouldn’t like him?
Timmy ran to Ian Keane’s side, grabbing his small hand, "Brother, brother, will you swim with Timmy?"
Ian’s cold little face stiffened. He hesitated for a moment, "I don’t want to get in the water, but I can watch you swim from the poolside."
Seeing Ian’s expression of refusal, Timmy didn’t push it and said, "Okay! I’ll perform some swimming tricks in the pool for you to see later."
Swimming tricks?
Ian raised an eyebrow, "Alright, I’ll have to inspect your swimming skills for quality later."
Timmy was very excited, "No problem, brother."
Timmy went with Auntie Chapman to choose swim trunks.
Leon reached out to ruffle Ian’s little head, "Can’t swim? You could tell Timmy and let him teach you, why be so stubborn?"
Ivana was surprised to see Ian; she thought the boy just didn’t want to swim, never expecting he couldn’t swim.
Feeling Ivana’s gaze, Ian’s cheeks turned bright red as he glared at Leon in dissatisfaction, "Daddy, is it necessary to expose your son’s weakness like this?"
Leon said earnestly, "Daddy is teaching you that by facing your weaknesses, you can overcome them."
Ian: "..."
Ivana laughed and hugged Ian, "Don’t listen to him. Tell mommy, is it because Daddy can’t teach you how to swim properly?"
Ian nodded vigorously. Daddy had no patience teaching him to swim, and he had strong aversions to other swimming coaches, so he still couldn’t swim.
"Mommy, Daddy tried teaching me twice, but I didn’t learn. Then he said he would just throw me into the middle of the pool, and only then would I learn to swim."
