Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 84

Ivy was the real victim here.

"Summer, I am truly disappointed in you."

Once Eleanor understood the situation, her old face turned cold, and she pushed Summer away.

Summer sat off to the side, glaring hatefully at Ethan as she yelled:

"Do you think helping Ivy like this will make her like you? Let me tell you, Ivy is already married. She married an old man and is playing stepmother to his kid."

At that moment, Alaric, who had walked away earlier, suddenly sneezed.

Ethan looked at Summer, clearly not believing her.

"You're making up rumors again. Keep spouting nonsense and see if I don't get Alaric back here to beat you up."

Summer wasn't lying this time and sounded very self-righteous.

"If you don't believe me, go to the hospital and ask her yourself."

Ethan pressed, "She went back to work at the hospital?"

"Yes, she found a hospital executive. Otherwise, how could the hospital keep her after she took such a long paid leave? I wasn't lying at all. Her husband is abusing his power to get her perks. Why did Alaric hit me?"

Speaking of this, she felt wronged again and started crying in front of her grandmother.

Listening to her two grandchildren argue, the older woman grew increasingly curious about this Ivy person.

She asked Ethan, "Ethan, what kind of person is Ivy?"

Summer immediately chimed in, "He likes her, but she doesn't give him the time of day. He's just acting like a desperate lapdog."

"Summer, if you say one more word, I'll hit you."

Ethan angrily clenched his fists, then turned to the older woman and said:

"Grandma, Ivy is a wonderful girl. She's beautiful, kind-hearted, and always ready to help others. Anyway, she's millions of times better than Summer."

"You..."

Summer was furious but didn't dare speak up.

Her slapped cheek was still red, swollen, and throbbing with pain.

In the end, all she could do was glare viciously at Ethan.

If she rashly video-called him, she'd definitely get scolded to death.

She forced a bitter smile and said to Stella, "How about you use Mrs. Gable's phone to call him?"

"Why? I want you to call him for me. Hurry up."

Stella tugged at Ivy's arm, whining playfully.

When Ivy hesitated, the little girl pretended to be angry, putting on a thoroughly unhappy face.

Left with no choice, Ivy quickly pulled out her phone to send Alaric a message first.

[Mr. Foster, do you have time right now? Stella wants to see you. She wants to video call.]

At that moment, Alaric was dining in the Foster family's dining room.

The surrounding seats were filled with family members.

He ignored the vibrating message on his phone and continued eating.

But less than a minute later, a video call rang, and everyone at the table turned to look at him in unison.
