Chapter 268 Come Out And Meet Your Fiancée
Upon hearing this, Ivan remained expressionless.

His gaze was profound and steady, like a warm pool of water in winter, easily making people let go of their guard and reveal their inner thoughts to him.
Hazel regarded him as an extremely manipulative and dangerous individual.
Ivan: “Child, you were still too young.”
His voice was steady, with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, and there was no visible emotional change due to Hazel’s impolite words. “My young eyes could see it clearly, there was no need for you to explain it specifically.”
“You misunderstood me too deeply.”
The man’s calm demeanor made Hazel feel uncomfortable.
“Since misunderstandings can exist, it must be because the other person did something that caused the misunderstanding. Since they did it, there’s no need to turn back and say that the misunderstanding is too deep, as it will only make one appear cheap.” Her current appearance is like a small, skinny hedgehog, encountering a formidable presence that makes her wary. She raises all her spines, attempting to repel the other party.
Ivan silently curved the corners of his mouth.
“You inherited your mother’s eloquence. When I met her back then, she was even younger than you are now. Beneath her seemingly delicate appearance, she had a strong heart.”
This was the longest sentence Ivan said tonight, closely related to her mother.
That was a past that Hazel had never known.
She pursed her lips and sneered, no matter how strong her heart was, in the end, it couldn’t withstand the pain. Eventually, she became melancholic and at such a young age, she bid farewell to this world.
As soon as Jessie was mentioned, the aura around this man instantly changed.
The tone is filled with nostalgia and affection.
People who have long held high positions will not easily expose their weaknesses to their opponents, unless they intentionally show them to lower your guard and achieve their true inner goals.
Or, one could say it was a deliberate indulgence… a test!
Hazel focused two hundred percent, her gaze locked onto the expression on Ivan’s face.
“You didn’t have to be so guarded against me.”
“I was your father, I would never hurt you.”
Would a manipulator who can even hurt their loved ones care about an infant who never grew up by their side?
Hazel didn’t believe a single word of what he said.
She looked at him with an emotionless gaze and sneered, “Stop flattering yourself. My father died a long time ago, and your daughter is not here either.”
Seeing the disdain gathered in her eyes, Ivan calmly said, “You will understand later.”
With the compassion of paternal love withdrawn, the man’s aura suddenly became as chilling as the coldest winter wind. Even a fleeting glance from him carried the power to dominate everything.
I had long seen through Hazel’s purpose for coming today.

Not sure if it was her imagination, but Hazel could sense a hint of disappointment in his tone. She furrowed her brows with displeasure, wondering why this man had any reason to be disappointed.
Seeing the undisguised expression on her face, the determination in Ivan’s eyes faded away, returning to the way he had seen her when she

Ivan brought up the matter of Gianna, Lily, and the Stevens family, even though it happened in the past.
“But you had someone you wanted to protect.”
Ivan’s words made Hazel’s heart sink.
She gradually followed his words and fell into a thoughtful world.
While Hazel was immersed in her thoughts, Ivan was also reevaluating her.
She was his biological daughter.
Half of his blood flowed through her body.
Although he had never raised her, her personality was even more like him than Ricky, whom he had raised with his own hands.
Is this bloodline?
There is no doubt that Ivan was excited to see Hazel today.
Not only because Hazel was his daughter, but also because she wás the child Jessie gave birth to!
Before she looked up, he had already suppressed all his emotions, as if everything was within his anticipation and control.
Ivan’s gaze was like a torch, his posture was upright, just sitting there gave off an invisible air of dignity and power.
From the perspective of someone in a higher position, he told her, “When you are in a position of power, they don’t even dare to entertain the thought of touching your child.”
He was trying his best to depict the world that had never been involved, seemingly tempting her to step into Pandora’s box.
The pain embedded in the palm of her hand brought back her sanity.
She suddenly realized that she had almost been carried away by his thoughts.
Hazel leaped out of the layers of dark web he had set up, resisting and firmly telling him, “That’s not what I wanted!”
“That was the world you wanted, not the one I wanted.”
Upon hearing her words, Ivan fixed his gaze on her eyes, which were filled with endless brightness and the same determination to protect her family as her mother.
This is child who,

even though faced with muddy swamps, still lives under the sunshine after climbing out.
He showed admiration in his eyes, but had already hidden it before she could catch it.
Ivan said calmly, “Bring the person upstairs down.”
The huge dog cage was carried down from upstairs by someone.
They
walked steadily, moved effortlessly, and quickly placed the cage in a certain position.
Keegan, whose legs were disabled, and Susan, who was taken away from the hospital, trembled and curled up in the cage.
Hazel suddenly remembered Ivan’s words just now.
The appearance fight back.

“The Scott family all had a good archery skill.”
“Your mother as well.”
As soon as his words slowly came to an end, someone brought Hazel a bow and arrows.
Ivan: “You say you don’t need it, then let me see what you’re capable of.”
Hazel’s heart froze as she listened to his words, devoid of any warmth. He wanted to witness, with his own eyes, the end of the future life of this father and daughter right here.
The moment Keegan learned Ivan’s identity, he was already ashen–faced.
I saw his face.
It was already destined that he would not have a chance to survive.
Realizing this, his desire for life completely dissipated from his eyes. He took a deep look at Hazel outside the cage, wanting to say something but the Scott family stopped him.
Susan had no idea about Ivan’s identity, let alone what seeing his face meant.
She wanted to spit out what was in her mouth, but she couldn’t do it.

Hazel’s heart had sunk to the bottom of the lake, as she deeply realized the level of danger in this man. This was not about watching her solve the Wilcox family’s father and daughter, but clearly another test of her cruelty towards her.
Because…
The superior only had a cold intention to achieve goals more efficiently in their eyes.
Compassion was a burden to them.
Seeing Hazel hesitating to take action, Ivan couldn’t discern any emotions in her eyes, which hinted at something deeper.
“Ricky, come out and meet your fiancée.”
