After recovering from her illness, Ivy’s first task was to compile all the expenses the Archer family had incurred on her over the years.
She held the card, sat in front of the table, and listed all the expenses of the past ten years,
From tuition fees to expenses on various daily necessities, the total amount was thirty million.
The inheritance and old house that Dad left behind were worth a total of over twenty million dollars,
In addition, she has saved quite a bit over the years through part–time jobs and frugal studying, In
the end, she still lacked over one hundred thousand dollars in her bank account,
It seems that before leaving, she had to find something to do and make up the remaining money,
Ivy studied photography and, with this idea in mind, she posted photography job information
online.
Soon, seven or eight customers came to the door, some for wedding photo shoots and others for
graduation photos.
She followed the instructions faithfully, working from morning till night every day, so exhausted that she could hardly stand up straight, but without any complaints.
Because her mother had told her that Rod’s father had already divorced before he met her, bu
had just not made it public.
From beginning to end, her mother and Rod’s father were in a normal relationship and then got
married.
The mother and daughter never coveted the wealth of the Archer family.
She had planned to leave, but she didn’t want Rod to continue misunderstanding her mother, so she
decided to repay the money.
After working hard for five or six days, Ivy managed to save over thirty thousand dollars.
She was getting anxious about the slow progress when suddenly a big order came in.
An employer hired her to help take a set of birthday photos at a birthday banquet, with a payment of
two hundred thousand.
Behind this generous reward, there was also a cost.
The employer said that the owner of the photo was very picky and that in order to receive the corresponding payment, it had to be done in a way that would make her 100% satisfied.

In order to gather the money as soon as possible, Ivy readily agreed to it.
On the day of the banquet, she hurried over with her camera bag, only to realize that it was someone she knew.
Looking at Yvette in front of her, wearing a princess dress and a crown, and Rod standing beside her in a black suit, her heart trembled fiercely.
Seeing her exhausted face, Rod frowned and said, “Why did you take on this kind of job? Wasn’t your dream to become a top photographer? Didn’t your family provide you with living expenses?”
“I was an adult and I liked this job, so I took it.”
Upon hearing these words, Rod’s face suddenly turned cold. He was about to say something to her when Yvette quickly stepped forward to defuse the situation.
“Ivy, Rod is also concerned about you and afraid that you might get tired. So, please don’t say such things to upset your brother.”
With that, Yvette held onto her hand and pulled her into the venue, saying she wanted to see her photography skills.
Although the words were polite, Ivy didn’t rest for a single minute the whole night, and her camera
was almost overheating from being pressed.
Yvette took a total of four to five thousand photos, but she was still not satisfied. She insisted on dragging her exhausted body to take aerial shots.
She carried dozens of kilos of photography equipment and climbed up to the third floor. She set up
the tripod and aimed it at the center of the stage.
In the scene, Rod took the necklace, which was said to be the Archer family heirloom, and personally put it around Yvette’s neck in the midst of a loud uproar.
She flashed a triumphant smile, deliberately glanced at the third floor, and then threw herself into
his arms.
Ivy knew that Yvette did it on purpose to show her.
That night, she pulled Rod and spared no effort to show affection in front of Ivy.
She would feed him the champagne she had drunk, asking him to taste the flavor; she would pull
him to dance gracefully together, causing the guests to speculate if something good was about to happen; she would softly complain of leg pain, asking him to help massage it…
There were numerous intimate photos like this one, stored in several full memory cards.

Ivy had become numb.
She watched the scene of two people hugging and quickly pressed the shutter button.
As the second photo was about to be taken, Yvette tiptoed and kissed Rod.
Ivy’s hand paused.
Those numb eyes, which had already become numb, briefly regained a moment of clarity and
focused on the camera.
In the high–definition picture, Rod also froze.
But in just three seconds, he reached out and pulled Yvette into his arms.
While holding onto the back of her head, he deepened the shallow kiss.
