Chapter 310 Persuasion
Ivan apparently refused them. David and Henry looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a
moment.
Ivan’s current state was not good. He didn’t have any spirit, and he didn’t listen to others.
David was furious. “Mr. Ivan, don’t you want revenge at all? That woman made you like this, don’t you
hate her at all?”
Ivan looked up and sneered. “I hate her. She caused me to fall into this situation. This is the second
time I have been imprisoned. How could I not hate her!”
When David heard this, he thought his words had worked. Before he smiled, Ivan continued. “But so
what? I’ve lost everything. All my support is gone. Tansy Group has collapsed, and my dad is also in
prison. How can I get revenge? Use this?”
He waved his hands excitedly as he spoke. The handcuffs rattled. All the sounds reminded him that he
was just a prisoner.
David quickly comforted him. “Calm down. You didn’t lose everything. I’m still here. Mr. George is also
here. We can help you revive Tansy Group!”
He said seriously, but Ivan just looked at him sarcastically. Especially when he saw his half-worn suits,
he asked, “Do you have money and funds? Do you have any other connections besides Henry? He is
also in danger now. What can he do to help you?”
Henry’s face showed an embarrassed expression. Although Ivan was in prison, he could still see his
situation at a glance. He knew he was in a desperate state, so he said such a thing.
Thinking about it, Henry gritted his teeth, looked at Ivan, and said, “Did you know, Alston is back!”
Ivan’s eyes suddenly opened wide. He was deeply surprised. He didn’t expect that Alston was still alive
and would come back
safely.
Seeing his reaction, Henry continued with a smile. “Three years ago, we all thought he was dead, but
some time ago, he was found back. I heard that he lost some memory, but now he is slowly recovering.
Cynthia also withdrew from the Smith Group, and Alston returned to power. Recently, he oppressed my
company. That’s why I’m in such a hurry to find your cooperation.”
Ivan frowned. Henry didn’t look like he was lying. Could it be that Alston started to attack his company?
“After all, his accident has something to do with us. He fell from the cliff when he was fighting with
traffickers. He fell from a high cliff and survived.” Henry sighed and looked at Ivan. There was a trace of
persecution in his eyes.
“Look, we have done so much. Alston is still alive, and Smith Group also doesn’t suffer any losses. On
the contrary, look at us. Tansy Group has gone bankrupt. You are in jail, and my company is also in
jeopardy now. Next time, if you don’t read this from my website Novelsreads(dot)com, I will stop

Alston clenched his fists tightly in anger, then released them. His back collapsed.
He was inferior to Alston since he was a child, and he was kept under pressure. In the past, he had
Tansy Group, and he could barely compete with Alston. Now, however, Smith Group is thriving. But he
and his father are in prison. What were their qualifications to compete with Alston?
“It’s useless for you to look for me. I can’t help you. Don’t forget, I still have at least four years before I
can be released from prison.” Ivan didn’t look at them but just waved his hand.
“Go. Don’t come here again.”
Seeing that he was about to leave, Henry and David stood up and shouted excitedly. “Ivan, do you
really want to spend the rest. of your life trampled by him and laughed at by them?”
David also frowned, with a tense expression. “Mr. Ivan, you must think about it carefully. There is only
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtone chance. If you miss it, you will really have nothing.”
“David, I’m not Mr. Ivan anymore. I have no money and I can’t go out. I’m sorry, but I can’t help you.”
His cheeks were thin, and his expression was depressed.
David was frozen for a moment. In his mind, President Smith always planned ahead of time. Even if
Tansy Group went bankrupt and the property was seized, he would definitely leave something for
himself and Mr. Ivan.
But judging from Ivan’s expression, it seemed that there was no such thing at all. Could it be that he
really has no property?
David swallowed and felt flustered. He stepped forward and asked. “How about President Smith?”
Mentioning Clare, Ivan opened his eyes. “My Dad has been in poor health for the past few years. He
went to the hospital and will come back at night. You can’t see him today.”
David didn’t want to see Clare. Clare was much more crafty than Ivan. He could see what he wanted to
do, so he and Henry only met Ivan. Although he wanted to revive Tansy Group, it was more for self-
serving.
“Mr. Ivan, don’t tell President Smith what happened today, lest he be worried and affects his health.”
David said this in embarrassment. Ivan glanced at him. “Don’t worry. I won’t tell my dad.”
Clare was not in good health, so he won’t bother him with such illusory matters.
“By the way, I brought these things. They are some daily necessities and food. Now I’m having a hard
time. I can’t afford some expensive things. They are all ordinary brands. Don’t abandon it.”
David said as he took out a bag.
These things were all checked, and there was no problem. Ivan glanced at the bag and took it.
Now he and his father were really hard inside. These foods could give his father some nutrition.
Ivan dragged the heavy shackles and left with the prison guards. Henry glanced at David and asked,
“Are you sure that they still have money? I didn’t see anything from Ivan. Could it be that you made a
mistake?”
“Yes, absolutely!” David gritted his teeth and stood firm in his view. “Clare is so cunning, he must have
hidden some money. He loves his son best, and he will definitely leave him some property.”
“If they had money, how could they be in jail for seven years because they couldn’t pay the taxes?”
David looked a little embarrassed. “I guess that this money was not enough for taxes. If they paid all
the taxes and still didn’t

the taxes, they would have to go to jail and keep the money. When Ivan gets out of prison, he is still
young, and he can.
make a comeback.”
Henry frowned, and also felt that what David said made sense. A gloomy expression appeared on his
thin face. “Ivan doesn’t have half a spirit right now. We have to find a way to provoke him.”
“What?” David saw that he seemed to have an idea, and asked.
Henry looked at the monitor and whispered a few words in his ear. David’s eyes showed panic. “This…
Is it too cruel?”
“There’s no making without breaking. Are you feeling sorry for your former boss?” Henry glanced at
him. “Do you still want to continue to live this kind of life? How long has it been since you bought new
clothes and watches? Do you want to be looked down on and bow down to people who are inferior to
you? David, if you can accept this life, never mind what I just said. Our cooperation is coming to an
end!”
David saw that his face was cold. He quickly relieved his worries and gave Henry a flattering smile.
“I’ve had quite enough of this kind of life. As long as I can live as before, I’ll listen to whatever you say!”
“Good!” Henry smiled. Although David was a bit selfish, he was ruthless and smart. That was why he
was willing to cooperate
with him.
He could do such a cruel thing to someone who was kind to him… When Henry saw his uncontrollable
smile, he narrowed his eyes. He had to keep an eye on David so as not to be framed by him in the
future.
After Ivan returned to the cell, he sat on the bed blankly and thought about what David and Henry had
just said. They want to revive Tansy Group. It has been three years, and the name of Tansy Group was
a little far away from him.
After three years of numbness, he almost forgot that he used to be the aloof Mr. Ivan of the Smith
family, and Mr. Ivan of Tansy Group whom everyone fawned over.
He was a little confused and thought a lot until he heard a voice of vicissitudes beside him. “What are
you thinking? It’s time to
have dinner!”
Ivan looked up and saw Clare.
Clare looked much thinner than before, and his waist had bent down. He didn’t have his previous aura.
With short gray hair, he looked like an ordinary old man, his face full of wrinkles.
“Dad!” Ivan called hoarsely.
Chapter 311 Worry
Clare felt that something was wrong. His son looked a little weird today..
“I heard that someone visited you today?” Clare recalled what his inmate told him when he came back,
and he looked at Ivan.
Ivan nodded. “David came to see me and brought us something.”
He gave Clare the things that David sent in.
Clare didn’t look at the bag. He frowned and asked, “What did he say?”
David hadn’t visited them once in three years. He didn’t come here to give these things on purpose. He
must have other purposes. Even though he had been in prison for more than three years, Clare was
still very keen.
After the incident three years ago, Clare did not trust anyone, even David. Although David stayed by
his side for many years and never betrayed him, people would change.
“He said he didn’t have a good life these past few years, so he didn’t come to see us. He gave some
things and left.” Ivan said some irrelevant things.
Although Clare didn’t believe it, he didn’t force Ivan. He patted his head. “Ivan, we still have a few years
before we can go out. After we go out, we go abroad and start our lives again. During this period, no
matter what someone asks you for or says to you, don’t pay attention to it. You don’t know what other
people are thinking, so don’t trust anyone.”
He spoke earnestly to his son.
Ivan nodded. He didn’t want to mess with Henry and David, and he just wanted to go out of prison.
Seeing Ivan nodding expressionlessly, Clare sighed and asked him to dinner.
The Smith family didn’t know about Henry and David’s visit to the prison. They were busy with the
young Mr. Smith and young Miss Smith going to kindergarten.
They had selected the kindergarten. It was not an aristocratic kindergarten, but the environment was
very good. The teachers were very gentle and responsible, and the children in it seemed to be easy to
get along with..
Alston was worried, so he asked someone to investigate it. He found that the kindergarten was
impeccable in every way.
The kindergarten of two kids made the whole family worried.
Cynthia prepared all the things the two kids needed the night before and prepared a lot of snacks for
them to share with the
children.
In the evening, after Alston finished his work and went to bed, he found that Cynthia, who was
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsupposed to be asleep, hadn’t. slept yet. She was staring at the ceiling with her eyes open.
He leaned forward and kissed her on the lips, and pulled her into his arms. “What’s wrong?”
Cynthia turned around, her eyebrows tightly frowned. “I’m worried about the kids. Tomorrow is their first
day of school. What if they don’t adapt, don’t get along well with the children, and the teacher is not
kind? How about letting them stay at home…”
“Stop.”
Alston pinched Cynthia’s cheeks and said with a smile, “It was you who offered to let them go to
kindergarten, but you
worried the most.”
Cynthia snorted and buried her head in his arms.
Alston touched her hair and said in a gentle voice, “Don’t worry. Keller is cute, and Desmond is smart.
They will adapt well. I have asked someone to investigate, and the security and the teachers of this
kindergarten are good. The children’s families are
not all rich, but they are all well-educated families, and they are innocent and lively.”
Cynthia was worried about the two kids. They had been staying with the Smith family since they were
young. They had no experience of getting along with other children. She was afraid that they would be
bullied.
Alston looked at Cynthia who was lying in his arms and patted her on the back like holding a baby. “Go
to bed. It’s getting late, and we have to send them to kindergarten tomorrow.”
When Cynthia heard this, she obediently nestled in Alston’s arms, closed her eyes, and forced herself
to sleep quickly. If she couldn’t sleep well, her skin would not be good.
As Alston looked at her childish appearance, he smiled. When she just came back, she was stubborn,
but now she was like a child.
He was satisfied with Cynthia’s change and enjoyed her dependence. He would give her a complete
sense of security, and let her be the princess in his arms forever.
Anyway, he would protect her.
In the early morning of the next day, Cynthia woke up before the alarm clock. She rushed into the
bathroom and took a shower. Looking at her white and tender skin in the mirror, she showed a smile on
her face.
Although she slept later than usual last night, her skin was in good condition.
The noise of her washing and drying her hair was loud, and Alston was awakened. He squinted his
eyes and looked at the bathroom, with a helpless and doting smile.
Cynthia was in good spirits.
When Cynthia came out, she saw Alston still lying on the bed. She rushed over to lie on his chest, and
pinched his handsome cheeks.
“It’s time to get up.”
Her voice was sweet. Alston deliberately didn’t open his eyes. “It’s still early.”
His hand grabbed her hand and held it tightly..
She had just finished taking a bath, and there was still steam on her body, which was fragrant. Alston
looked at her cheeks.
“It’s already half past six. Dress up, be handsome.”
After Cynthia finished speaking, she was about to get up from him, but suddenly he wrapped around
her waist, trapping her in
his arms.
Alston turned over and pressed her under him..
He kissed her cheek. “Why do I look handsome? Do you want other mothers to stare at me?”
“You are so narcissistic!” Cynthia giggled, her fingers pushing his face.
Alston just wanted to tease her and kiss her cheeks, but the man’s desire in the morning was strong,
and he couldn’t control it.
Cynthia was only wearing a bath towel, revealing a large area of snow-white skin.
Alston’s eyes were deep.
She seemed to feel something, and her face turned red all of a sudden. She turned her face away, not
daring to look at him. “Shameless.”
