Chapter 245


    Ivan had Mamie in a firm grip, “Mamie, I’ve spoiled you rotten. If you can’t change, you might as well go


    back to the country you used to live in.” With that, he forcefully let go of her arm.


    Mamie was in disbelief. Her ever-doting brother, who had always listened to her since they were kids,


    had changed into apletely different person. He was treating her this way for a stranger, Furious,


    Mamie stormed off.


    Agnes had witnessed the siblings’ spat. Although she seemed like a bystander, she was actually part of


    the drama, Ivan was furious too.


    Agnes had never seen the usually calm and collected Ivan this angry, his veins were popping from his


    forehead. But when he faced Agnes, he quickly regained hisposure, Tm sorry, Agnes. I apologize

    Agnes managed a weak smile, Tm okay”

    surrounded by 150 diamonds of various sizes, worth around 14 million dors. But the gem was
