Chapter 164
Since gaining her freedom, Kiara had been haunted by her past despite receiving money from Ivy.
After years ofbor on the farm, her once youthful skin transformed into a weathered
state.
Despite being in her twenties, an age of youthful vigor, she now resembled a woman in her forties or
fifties.
Each time she washed up and looked in the mirror, she felt she was looking at a
stranger.
Where had her looks that were once praised by everyone gone?
She asked herself repeatedly.
Eventually, she attributed all this to Maxwell.
Ivy informed her that Maxwell’s being so ruthless was for Katherine, who was also the current CEO of
Larson Corporation in Dellmoor, Kimberly. Hence, Kiara harbored resentment toward Kimberly
Kiara still held illusions about Christopher, the man who had once treated her well, spending money on
her at the slightest request.
However, she still wasn’t aware that he had used her as a tool back then.
He aimed to stimte Katherine through her and make her take the initiative to divorce him.
Since Kiara couldn’t stand her rough and gloomy skin, she promptly went to Kepraria, where she was
once a frequent visitor as a celebrity. She was familiar with the way there.
She spent a lot of money given by Ivy, almost half of it, to alter her appearance as she was worried that
if she were to meet Christopher again, he wouldn’t recognize her and might even disdain her.
Aware of Kiara’s whereabouts, Ivy sarcastically thought, ‘Indeed, women are the most foolish creatures
in the world.
Despite the hellish life she had led for several years, Kiara hadn’t turned into a cold devil, all because
of her expectations.
At that moment, Ivy felt deep down that men truly caused harm.
However, Ivy muttered to herself. “He doesn’t belong to me, and naturally, he won’t
–
Chapter 161
belong to you.”
Upon receiving news of Kiara’s return to the country, Ivy promptly visited.
Her meticulously restored eyebrows, unappreciated and unpraised, seemed like a waste of a beautiful
creation.
When Kiara opened the door and saw Ivy, she weed thetter in but showed no
extra expressions.
“Sure enough, you are a beauty!” Ivy never hesitated topliment others.
It came almost naturally,
Having spent many years in the entertainment industry, Kiara has met many people.
At first nce, she could tell that Ivy wasn’t an easy character to deal with.
Nevertheless, Ivy was, indeed, her savior.
Thus, she had no choice but to deal with Ivy.
Ivy urged. “Are you ready?”
She was referring to when Kiara could leave for Dellmoor.
Kiara hadn’t anticipated such urgency and initially wanted to stay in Norham for a few more days,
daydreaming about a chance encounter with Christopher, even if it was only from a distance.
Truthfully, during those years in Alendor, if it weren’t for her lingering fantasy about. him, she probably
wouldn’t have survived until today.
She knew she was being obsessive, but she willingly embraced it.
Kiara replied calmly and confidently, “I’ll leave in two days.”
Ivy understood what Kiara had in mind and didn’t want to push too hard.
After all, rabbits, when cornered, might bite.
What was more, she was a venomous scorpion.
After Ivy lefi, Kiara took a deep breath.
She was on guard every time she talked to Ivy.
As it was almost time for Christopher to get off work, Kiara spent some time touching
herself before heading out to try her luck.

Entering Levine Group was definitely not an option.
If she were discovered, she might be sent back to the Alendor farm, the ce of her nightmares.

She rented a car and positioned herself on the road that Levine Group’s vehicles must pass through.
Soon, a familiar license te appeared in her sight
After the car passed by, she turned and followed it.
Indeed, it was Christopher’s car.
She had long been well-versed in everything about Christopher, just like memorizing lines in her acting
career.
Instead of heading home, Christopher detoured to a bakery.
In the afternoon, Lilian called and expressed her craving for the bun from that particr bakery.
Christopher, who had never been to that bakery before, was given the address by Lilian.
She reminded him that Katherine used to frequent this bakery.
Whenever she craved the bun, Katherine would buy it for her, rain or shine.
Christopher deliberately got off work on time today to see what was remarkable about the bakery,
enough to captivate the twodies.
Following Christopher to the bakery, Kiara saw him striding into the shop. She excited as she finallyid
eyes on the man she had yearned for day and night.
However, she was surprised to see Christopher go to buy the bread personally.

In her memory, he never did such things himself. He would delegate the task to his assistant, even
when he needed something.
It seemed that he had changed over the years.
After observing for a while, she saw Christophering out with several shopping bags.
Then, Kiara continued to tail him.
Eventually, he took the route back to the Levine manor.
Kiara discreetly trailed him until they reached the outskirts. There, she decided not to

follow any longer, fearing that the spar se poption might lead to her discovery.
In fact, Christopher had sensed he was being followed when he exited the bakery.
However, after scanning the surroundings and finding no suspicious figures, he shook his head,
attributing it to his overactive nerves.
Lilian was delighted, using the excuse of wanting bread to get Christopher to visit.
She could have sent a serv ant to buy it if she genuinely wanted bread. Instead, she wanted to see
Christopher and subtly tell him information about Katherine.
As for Olivia and Vincent, their openness and trust in each other led them to decide to move forward
with their marriage ns..
Before heading home, Vincent told Thomas he would be bringing his girlfriend.
Coincidentally, on that day, Jaxon also returned to the Sullivan residence.
It was a peculiar timing.
Thomas received the call, but Vincent hung up before he could exin.
Upon arriving at the Sullivan residence, Vincent felt something was amiss. He wondered why the

atmosphere at home was so lively, as he hadn’t informed anyone about bringing his girlfriend in
advance.
Typically, the entire family wouldn’t gather at this hour.
Olivia was also puzzled. “Is it always this lively at home?”
After asking this question, their car entered the courtyard.
A familiar face appeared before their eyes.
She was startled as the person was none other than Jaxon. “Why is he here at the Sullivan residence
at this hour?”
Vincent also found the situation strange.
However, at that moment, he had no way out. This was his home.
Although he didn’t want to see Jaxon, he had to assume the role of the head of the household.
After getting out of the car, he held Olivia’s hand and walked toward everyone sweetly.

Many people were unaware that Vincent would return that day.
They only knew that Thomas had mentioned there was something important to
announce.
