Chapter 772: Chapter 470: Signs of Threatened Miscarriage
Ivy Miller smiled lightly, "Leader, please spare me the formalities.
I’ve mentioned many times, if I did something wrong, I’m willing to accept punishment, criticism, and even apologize.
But if I did nothing wrong, no one should falsely accuse me.
I’m here to work, not to be mistreated.
Those who actually did wrong, those immoral people, can live openly.
I did nothing wrong, why can’t I hold my head high?"
Just as Ivy Miller finished speaking, Jack Jude snickered dismissively, "Give it a rest, Ivy Miller; don’t make yourself out to be something great.
Others might not know, but I do. You don’t like others gossiping about you behind your back, yet haven’t you done the same?
Let’s not talk about others, just the leader. Didn’t you ask me about their backing before?
Honestly, you are someone who enjoys gossiping and yet you have the nerve to accuse others here."
Ivy Miller glared at Jack Jude, this man must have a death wish.
To insult her right to her face, looking for trouble indeed.
"Leader, I’m not afraid of being accused of bullying Ivy Miller today.
I genuinely can’t stand her. When she first joined the company, she was already probing into your business.
Because of your argument, she even approached me asking disgusting questions about you being sponsored.
I’ve never mentioned this to anyone because I dislike gossip, and... I really don’t want to stoop to her level.
Uttering such words, honestly, feels shameful. I thought it would fade away over time, but some people truly don’t know when to stop.
People who do such things really are unpleasant.
Bringing it up now, isn’t too late, right?"
Ivy Miller laughed in disbelief, "Jack Jude, impressive, a man with the audacity to lie with his eyes wide open.
I’m only now realizing how utterly despicable you are."
"Speaking the truth is despicable? Then what about you? Isn’t your backbiting despicable?"
"Jack Jude, do you dare to speak the truth, hand on heart?
Gossiping? Clearly, you told me the leader was sponsored and had backing, advising me to be careful around them.
You slander people behind their backs and now try to pin it on me?
Are you even a man? It’s utterly disgusting."
The leader slapped the table, "Enough, Ivy Miller, from the first day you joined, I knew you were trouble.
Admit to what you did instead of blaming others.
And you dare speak of me; didn’t you come in through connections?
I saw you having dinner with Owen Lennon, the boss of Owen Law Firm that day with my own eyes.
Can you dare claim you didn’t get hired through his connections?"
Upon hearing this, Jack Jude tensed up a bit.
He never imagined Ivy Miller was connected to Owen Lennon.
Now he’s wondering what precisely is their relationship.
If she truly is tied to Owen Lennon, then hasn’t he...
Offended her thoroughly?
If Owen Lennon decided to pursue this, wouldn’t he be done for?
Ivy Miller gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, "And what about you; can you claim to be good?
Who else saw me dining with Attorney Lennon with you that day?
The manager you were holding hands with has a family, yet you’re the third party."
She hadn’t intended this, but now she’s genuinely provoked.
She can’t stand people pouring hot water on her while she’s enduring.
Her initially calm heart now surged with emotion.
She couldn’t hold back anymore.
As soon as Ivy Miller finished speaking, the leader lunged forward and pushed her to the ground, "Ivy Miller, you lunatic, I’m done with you."
Ivy Miller was not to be outdone, flipping over to press the leader down.
Being younger, she wasn’t going to lose in a fight against the leader.
She turned and managed to press the leader down herself.
Due to anger, she directly slapped that leader across the face.
She had put up with this woman for too long and was utterly infuriated.
One slap wasn’t enough; just as she intended to deliver another, she suddenly felt a wave of pain in her stomach.
Ivy Miller furrowed her brows, and the leader took the chance to reverse positions just as Owen returned from the meeting outside.
Seeing the two tussling without anyone intervening, Owen yelled angrily, "What are you doing.
Do you still want to work or not? If not, pack up and get out."
Upon hearing Owen’s voice, the leader stopped and quickly stood up, but Ivy Miller clenched her teeth, eyes closed, holding her stomach and curled up.
The leader looked down at Ivy Miller’s state and yelled, "Stop pretending, get up now."
Owen stepped forward, "What’s going on here."
"This woman... deserves a beating," the leader pointed down at Ivy Miller, "Owen, I cannot manage this employee. From now on, in the Translation Department, it’s either her or me."
"Alright, both of you come to my office."
Manager Tan said, turning angrily and heading toward the office.
Ivy Miller felt intense stomach pain, as though her abdomen had been stabbed twice.
She lay there groaning, "It hurts, it hurts..."
Team Leader Liu scoffed, "You’re really putting on quite a show. What, do you want everyone in the world to accuse me of bullying you?
Let me tell you, I did bully you, so what? This isn’t over today."
As Team Leader Liu was speaking, Manager Tan, hearing the painful groans, returned.
She squatted in front of Ivy Miller, seeing her forehead covered in sweat, her features twisted together, and nervously patted Ivy’s shoulder, "Ivy, what’s wrong with you."
"Stomach... my stomach... hurts so much."
"Stomach pain?" Manager Tan pulled out her phone and immediately dialed the emergency number, "It’s okay, hang in there, the ambulance will be here soon."
"Manager Tan, this is just the woman’s trick, don’t be fooled by her.
Do you know, this woman is married but pretends to be single here with us.
She’s indeed too cunning."
Team Leader Liu returned to Ivy Miller’s side, looking displeased.
"Married?" Manager Tan seemed to recall something and asked, "Ivy, are you pregnant?"
As soon as Manager Tan finished speaking, Team Leader Liu immediately fell silent.
Ivy Miller shook her head painfully, "I don’t... don’t know. Hurry and call an ambulance, my stomach hurts, I can’t bear it."
Seeing her condition now, Manager Tan faintly sensed something was wrong.
Worried about any mishaps, she quickly asked someone to call for an ambulance.
She then went aside to call the CEO’s secretary.
After all, it was the CEO’s secretary who had asked her to pay more attention to Ivy Miller.
Within three minutes, the CEO himself came over with the CEO’s secretary.
When everyone saw the CEO arrive, they were all scared, especially Team Leader Liu, who never expected this would alert the CEO.
By this time, Ivy Miller had already fainted from the pain.
Damian Sullivan squatted in front of Ivy, patting her shoulder, "Ivy? Ivy? What’s going on."
"CEO, Ivy seems to have fainted," Manager Tan came over to report truthfully.
"Can’t I see that? I’m asking what’s going on, and where’s the ambulance."
"The ambulance should be here soon," Manager Tan had just said when emergency personnel arrived and took Ivy Miller away.
Damian Sullivan and the CEO’s secretary, along with Manager Tan, left with them.
Team Leader Liu stood there for a long time, unable to come to her senses.
Even Jack Jude was a bit shocked; he hadn’t expected Ivy Miller to actually know the CEO...
It’s all over now, truly over; he shouldn’t have been so impulsive.
It’s clear she took the wrong side this time.
He should have tolerated it, it’s all over now, truly over.
After Ivy Miller was sent to the hospital, she underwent emergency treatment.
Manager Tan suspected that Ivy might be pregnant, so during the examination, the doctor avoided all tests that couldn’t be done on pregnant women.
After the examination, the doctor clearly told Damian Sullivan and the others, "The patient is pregnant, the ultrasound shows it should be around eight weeks."
Damian Sullivan’s face immediately turned serious, "So how are things now, are both the mother and child in danger?"
"The baby shows signs of a threatened miscarriage and needs to be hospitalized for protection."
Damian Sullivan’s face was serious, "Then let’s admit her, no matter what method is used, the baby must be saved."
Years ago, Isla Linton lost a child, and Henry resented his mother for so many years.
If anything happens to this child, he truly couldn’t imagine if his son would end his relationship with the Sullivan family.
Manager Tan, with over twenty years in the corporate world, certainly had an eye for these things.
So she’s now very sure that Ivy Miller has a connection not with the CEO’s secretary, but with the CEO himself.
However, she really didn’t dare to speculate on that connection...
Damian Sullivan looked at Manager Tan and said, "Investigate Ivy Miller’s matter right now, write a report on everything that happened today and submit it to me."
"Yes."
After Manager Tan left, Damian Sullivan immediately took out his phone to call Henry Sullivan. No matter the outcome, Henry had to know about this.
The call went unanswered at first, and Damian was really anxious, so he directly called the military unit.
Henry Sullivan was on a mission and didn’t have his phone with him.
He left a message for Henry, saying there was something extremely urgent and asked him to call his father as soon as he returned.
To make sure Henry wouldn’t take this lightly, he also specifically mentioned that it was about Ivy, and it was very important.
Damian Sullivan still had a very important meeting to attend and couldn’t delay, so he had no choice but to let the secretary stay and he returned to attend to business.
An hour and a half later, Henry Sullivan’s call finally came through.
Seeing his son’s number, Damian Sullivan directly paused the meeting and stepped to the door to take the call.
"Dad, what’s going on, you asked me to call you about Ivy, what happened?"
"Henry, take a leave of absence quickly, Ivy is pregnant and there’s a slight miscarriage risk."
