Chapter 361 Not A Fake, It’s Me
“You used to yell at me.”
“You used to scold me, who is so pretty, cute, and well–behaved. You truly are the great demon king.”
The man, who originally wanted to have a warm relationship with his child, now feels like holding a hot potato in his arms.

Ivan listened to the children speaking with an old man’s flavor, using dirty words one after another. Despite being able to calmly handle any strong opponent, he now had a feeling of not knowing how to deal with it.
He patiently coaxed, “Don’t yell, Grandpa bought you candy to eat.”
Leila’s howling voice became even louder when it was mentioned.
She spoke with disdain while burying her head in Ivan’s neck, pounding his shoulders with her fists.
“Wow
–
you’re still lying to children, Mom said, Grandpa has already kicked the bucket!”
“You said you were my grandfather, did you pretend to be a zombie?”
The child’s mouth was as venomous as ever, with no pauses between words, and every single word seemed to hit Ivan’s nerve. The vein on Ivan’s forehead tightened like a taut string.
He told himself in his heart: Granddaughter, she is dear to me!
The sunlight fell on the snowy Northfield, like a dream, but at this moment, everyone’s minds were not here.
Suddenly, Leila covered her stomach and shouted, “Mom, Leila’s stomach hurts.”
Hazel’s heart tightened, and she forcefully kicked away the bodyguard blocking her. She rushed over and took her daughter from the man’s arms.
Ivan: “Hazel…”
She ignored his voice and hurriedly walked into the house, holding the child, preparing to go to the nearby hospital for a detailed
examination.
Jaxon and Joshua rushed over when they heard it, worriedly asking, “Sister, are you okay?”
Leila hugged her neck and playfully blinked her eyes, saying, “Mom, brother, Leila’s stomach didn’t hurt, I was tricking the big
monster.”
“You scared Mom to death.”
Leila quickly kissed her mother’s cheek and comforted, “Don’t worry, Mom. Leila is fine.”
“Are you really okay?” Hazel still had a little bit of concern.
She shook her head and nestled in her mother’s arms, sticking her tongue out at Ivan outside the door, but quickly retreated.
Leila: My tongue was so cold.
Ivan:
He didn’t expect Leila to be so lively and outgoing.
“John, lock the door.”
“Jaxon, Joshua, go back to the room with Mom.”
Hazel left the backyard without looking back, taking her three children with her. The once bright and transparent glass windows were also covered with curtains, blocking the view from outside.
Johnson and Ivan were standing on opposite sides of an iron door. Johnson walked slowly and calmly towards Ivan, and closed the
door.
Johnson had already figured out who the owner of the resort was, as he glanced at the black card in the man’s hand.
He smiled at the man and said, “Mr. Scott, you can leave now, no need for further escort.”

In the empty backyard, there were only a few snowmen left, facing away from Ivan.
The bodyguard stepped forward and said, ‘Mr. Scott, they have arrived.”
In the power–driven territory of Northfield, there were only a few individuals who could truly reach the level of a big shot.
Ivan is one of them.
Standing at this high position for a long time, one can truly experience the feeling of the coldness at the top.

The low–profile black car was parked at the corner of the backyard, which was not the vehicle Ivan usually used for his daily travels.
Except for the guests staying in this villa, the guests staying in other standalone villas were not allowed to enter. He also used his privilege to come over. Before leaving, he instructed the bodyguards to guard the other entrances and not allow anyone with ill intentions to approach Hazel and the children.
Johnson hired several bodyguards to guard the backyard. He also knew that Northfield was the Scott family’s territory, so these bodyguards wouldn’t be of much use, but at least they could show that Hazel didn’t want to see Ivan.
Leila, who had returned to the room, took off her thick down jacket and immediately pulled her two brothers to the suitcase to find the jigsaw puzzle.
Jaxon and Joshua saw that their little sister was really fine, so they breathed a sigh of relief and happily went to play.
Seeing Ivan’s departing figure, Johnson let go of the curtain and returned to the living room. Looking at Hazel, he comforted her, “You don’t have to worry so much. At least his guilt will protect the three children in Northfield without any risk.”
Hazel pursed her lips unhappily, “My child, I could take care of myself.”
“Haze, I know your abilities and connections are impressive now, but even a strong dragon cannot overpower the local snake, let alone Northfield, which is the center of power in the country. There are countless hidden dragons, tigers, snakes, and foxes lurking
in the shadows.”
If he had not met Hazel when they were young, his heart would have stood on her side long ago, and he would probably have been impressed by Ivan’s abilities.
As a man, Johnson also had to admire Ivan’s skills.
Don’t be fooled by his current status as an influential figure in Northfield, back when he was just starting to make a name for himself in Northfield, nobody knew that the Scott family had another son.
His mother was also a wealthy family’s daughter, it is said that she was just an ordinary woman from a small mountain village. How she became pregnant with the Scott family’s child, no one knows. By the time everyone heard the name Ivan, he had already made a name for himself in Northfield.
In that chaotic era of fierce battles, Ivan single–handedly reclaimed the Scott family’s property that belonged to him and silenced everyone who had crossed paths with him, using iron–fisted methods, leaving them afraid to utter a word.
Johnson sighed heavily, unable to comprehend why such a capable man would choose to deceive an innocent girl, causing Hazel’s mother to carry the burden for the rest of her life.
The two people chatted for a while, and Johnson received a message.
Ivan appeared here today because he had a meeting with the influential people mentioned above. News had spread that they all wanted to form an alliance with the Scott family, with Danna being the potential match.
Danna’s public identity has always been the Scott family’s lost daughter for over twenty years.
As is well known, Ricky was the child adopted by Ivan.
Although he was also given the surname Scott, the independent household registration book does not technicay consider him to
be Ivan’s son.
At first, there were rumors that Ricky was the son–in–law arranged by Ivan for his daughter. After finally finding his daughter, it was certain that they would get married. However, we never heard him confirm it personally.
Little did I know, Ivan said with a smile at a recent dinner party that Ricky was his adopted son, not his son–in–law.

As soon as these words were spoken, certain forces that had originally wanted to strengthen their relationship with the Scott family began to have certain ideas stirring in their minds. Those with daughters shifted their gaze towards Ricky, while those with sons kept a close eye on Danna. And that’s how today’s dinner gathering came about.
Hazel suddenly remembered Danna, whom she had encountered in the parking lot earlier, and gained a slight understanding of the resentment on her face.
No wonder she looked so angry, it turns out she was forced to come on a blind date.
Two vibrations, and another message came in on the phone.
Johnson, who saw the content, furrowed his brow and said, “Gabriel was also at today’s dinner.”
He then added, “It’s not a fake, it’s the real deal.”
