Chapter 248 Get Married Hulda’s words changed many people’s opinions.

Many people commented on Hulda’s post, and many of them were women, saying that they usually prepared gifts for their husbands when their husbands needed to socialize. Some said men with high status generally did not choose gifts alone, and their wives must prepare the presents. They all thought it was normal and should not be bribery.

Many people commenting were hired by the Tansy Group, but lots of netizens sincerely expressed their understanding. Ivan was almost turned into an innocent person through these comments.

Of course, there were still many people who were skeptical of Hulda’s words. But it was much better than when the whole people accused him.

“Miss Taylor was intelligent!” The secretary’s face was full of approval after he saw Hulda’s post.

He was very opposed to keeping Hulda beside Clare and Ivan before. After all, it was well known that she had liked Alston. He was worried that she had ulterior motives in coming to Clare and Ivan, so he had always disliked her.

As Hulda released her post that no words didn’t defend Ivan, the secretary’s favorability towards her increased all of a sudden.

Ivan was also slightly moved. He initially thought Hulda was still asleep when he answered the call in the morning, but it seemed she heard what he said, so she took the initiative to speak for him.

Although the method of defending him was a little immature, he could feel her heart.

Ivan’s face softened for a moment, and he immediately picked up his mobile phone and called Hulda.

The phone only rang once before she answered it. Hulda’s voice was a little hoarse. “Hello, Ivan.”

“I saw your post just now.”

Just as Ivan finished speaking, Hulda’s panicked voice came from the other end of the line. “I’m sorry, Ivan. I made the decision without your permission. I saw so many people scolding you on the Internet, and I... I really can’t stand it, so I posted that video.

Did I cause you trouble? I will delete it right away!”

The secretary also heard what she said and sighed secretly. He found Hulda was really loyal to Ivan and treated him so carefully, making him can’t help but envy Ivan.

The look in Ivan’s eyes softened, but he only said flatly, “You did a good job. I don’t mean to blame you.”

“That’s good!” Hulda breathed a sigh of relief and then said to Ivan worriedly, “What should we do now?

Even if I made the post, many people still don’t believe it. If the situation worsens, we can’t control it.‘

What she said was full of worries about him. Ivan bit his lower lip and finally made an important decision. “Hulda, prepare your materials. I will send someone to pick you up later!”

“Where are we going?” Hulda asked confusedly.

“To get married!”

After Ivan finished speaking, Hulda, the secretary, and the people in the PR department were brought up short.

“Mr. Smith!” The secretary couldn’t help but yell and frowned tightly. Marriage was a big deal. How could it be decided so hastily?

He thought Hulda was an incompetent woman without robust background and that she couldn’t be Ivan’s wife.

Ivan said a few more words to Hulda, telling her to prepare quickly, and then hung up the phone.

“Make some arrangements. We will pick up Hulda later.”

After Ivan finished speaking, the secretary frowned so deeply.

“Mr. Smith, you’d better tell your father about this matter. After all, marriage is a major event in life. You can’t be so hasty about it.

Hulda... She is good, and you can spoil her. It is inappropriate to marry her, isn’t it?”

Ivan glanced at the secretary coldly. “Who gets married? You or me? Stop talking nonsense. Don’t worry. Marrying Hulda is not for her sake; it will take some time to complete this matter. All assets of the Tansy Group are under my name. If something unexpected happens, the Tansy group is not far away from bankruptcy.”

“You mean?” The secretary’s face became stern.

An inexplicable look flashed across Ivan’s eyes. “Since it has been confirmed that she is loyal to me, the best way is to marry her and transfer the important property shares to her. Even if something happens to me, the property of the Tansy Group can be saved.”

Disapproval flashed in the secretary’s eyes. “The important property shares are placed in under Hulda’s name... If she doesn’t cooperate... After all, we may know a person’s face but not his mind.”

Although Hulda indeed helped Ivan in many aspects, it still couldn’t be sure that she was reliable.

Ivan waved his hand impatiently. “Don’t worry. I know her very well. She doesn’t have the guts to betray me. Besides, don’t you have an eye on her? Even if something happens to me, there are still you. Moreover, she once was pregnant for me so that she won’t betray me.”

“Also, my dad doesn’t care about company affairs and is enjoying his retirement life now. This matter should be blocked from him. Otherwise, his heart can’t stand it. I will solve this crisis soon.”

Secretary opened his mouth, but he thought of Clare’s poor health. Then he reluctantly nodded.

In the Smith Group, Bill was reporting the chaos in the Tansy Group to Cynthia with extravagant gestures, and his face was full of excitement. Cynthia looked at his grand gestures and smiled. At this time, she also felt a bit delighted.

Ivan did many bad things to Alston, the Smith Group, and her. Now, the Tansy Group was in great trouble. As soon as Cynthia thought of it, she naturally felt relieved.

Lloyd came in and saw this scene. His gold–rimmed glasses glowed coldly. “Mrs. Smith, just now Hulda spoke for Ivan, and Ivan almost gets rid of this matter. The people hired by the Tansy Group also made false comments online.”

Lloyd’s words brought Bill up short.

He thought Hulda was hateful. She intervened at this time, making all their efforts in vain.

“We have been busy waiting for this day. Are our efforts in vain because of her statement?” The dejected expression made him look a bit pitiful against his big body.

“Take it easy. Hulda is also on our side, and her statement is a part of our plan. The main event is yet to come.”

After hearing this, Bill’s eyes lit up, and even his short hair stood up, making him look energetic again.

“I’m going to inform the colleagues to get ready. Mrs. Smith, you can order us if you want to announce at that time.”

After speaking, he grinned ear to ear and ran out excitedly.

Cynthia and Lloyd looked at each other and smiled.

Bill was interesting and could make others feel relaxed.

“Mrs. Smith, how are your preparations going?” Lloyd raised his eyes and looked at Cynthia gently.

He felt Cynthia was more and more similar to Alston now. Sometimes when she ordered him, he thought for a moment that Alston was back. He recalled these days that Cynthia studied hard to enrich her knowledge, stayed up late to read documents, and almost forgot to sleep and eat. All she did was for the Smith Group to operate normally.

He was moved by her and no longer had any doubts. He decided to help her wholeheartedly.

Cynthia looked at the phone and found it was Jack’s message. Seeing the conclusive evidence he sent over, she smiled with two dimples on her delicate face.

“Don’t worry. Everything is ready except the right time.”

When the car arrived, Hulda was already waiting at the door. When she got in the car and saw Ivan’s gloomy face, her shoulders subconsciously shook. The fear of Ivan was deep–seated in her heart.

The secretary noticed her reaction and felt more at ease. He was more sure that she was a fragile woman who could only rely on men and could not make any outstanding achievements, so there was no need to waste time on her.

“Go!” Ivan ordered, and the car drove towards the government agency.

Hulda put on light makeup, making her look good–looking and gentle. She looked at Ivan timidly and said in a low voice, “Ivan, why did you suddenly make this decision? You... Didn’t you say you would never marry me?”

Ivan smiled and stroked her smooth long hair, as soft as her.

“You defended me this morning, so I changed my mind. Hulda, you are the most suitable woman for me. The girls of those wealthy families are not what I like at all. I like obedient women like you.”

Hulda blushed and lowered her head shyly, but she squeezed her fingers slightly where Ivan could not see.

Ivan still stroked her hair, sending a chill down her spine. Her heart was full of nausea and disgust, but she had to hold back for fear of wasting her efforts when she was near to winning.

Those wounds on her body still hurt her, but Ivan said such nasty words as if nothing had happened. Being beaten and abused for many days left deep marks on her body and heart.

Hulda felt suffocated if she stayed with Ivan for a second longer. She wanted to escape from this terrifying man with a twisted mind.

“Mr. Smith, Miss Taylor, we are here!”
