Chapter 132: 113. Future Daddy upgraded to Prospective Daddy

"What Miss Young said is not entirely correct, but to be fair, a man who can be stolen away is indeed useless."

A faint smirk of contempt hung on Alya Larson’s face as the color slowly returned to her cheeks, and her eyes met Sophia Young’s with a provocative gleam. She enunciated every syllable clearly, "If a woman can’t even hold onto a useless man, then isn’t she the useless one? Don’t you agree, Miss Young!"

"You...!"

With every "Miss Young" Alya tossed out, there was absolutely no warmth between colleagues. Ivy Aretha gave a light smile, and in an instant, she understood what was going on. This woman definitely had some skills!

Compared to the malicious and low-level female antagonists in TV series and novels, Alya Larson was clearly a step above. She had first provoked Lydia Summers to start mocking, and then struck a decisive blow when left with no other choice. All of this was done to serve as a warning to Ivy!

Compared to directly confronting and attacking her love rival, using her own friends to vent on behalf of her own was undoubtedly much more clever, and a subtle way of warning her!

This was the difference in intelligence between Alya Larson and Yuri Sanders!

Regardless of whether it was the former Yuri or today’s Alya, she wasn’t interested in either of them. But since they had pushed her so far and caused her friend to be humiliated, how could she not say anything in return!

Ivy Aretha chuckled softly, her big eyes filled with a gleaming and pure smile. In Alya Larson’s eyes, it was like seeing an unmentionable mockery after watching a good show.

Hearing this, Alya’s heart instinctively sank.

Six years ago, when Ivy Aretha was still very young, she had already lost to her. Even when this woman did not know who Michael Gordon was, she had already received all his love!

After six years, Michael Gordon had forgotten everything, including Ivy Aretha. But when they met again, their passion was reignited, even without the memories!

If she said she wasn’t scared, she would be lying!

If all she wanted was Michael Gordon, she could have given up when Ivy Aretha appeared again. Because she was not her match from the very beginning!

But what she wanted wasn’t just Michael Gordon, so whether she was her opponent or not, she had to fight back even if it meant risking everything. Even if she couldn’t have Michael Gordon, there were other things she wanted!

Or perhaps Michael Gordon had never been her only target!

Alya Larson’s gaze locked onto Ivy Aretha’s calm and unruffled face, waiting for her to open that unforgiving mouth she knew so well. She might have just met Ivy, but she had known her for many years!

Because of the same man!

Under her intense gaze, Ivy Aretha still maintained her calm demeanor, looking at her with a faint smile that revealed a touch of mockery beyond the enjoyment of the situation!

Sophia Young, at their side, stared angrily but couldn’t find any words to refute!

In the end, Alya Larson couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows and speak to Ivy: "Ivy, aren’t you going to say something for your friend? Or do you think I’m right too?"

As Lydia heard this, her eyes in the co-pilot seat lit up. She and Sophia were enemies, so as Sophia and Ivy were friends, Lydia had no choice but to befriend Alya!

As for which one of Ivy and Alya could be trusted, she didn’t care or had any interest in knowing. Because she wanted to go against Sophia, Ivy was the only option aside from Alya. However, in this moment, if Ivy also admitted that Alya was right...

Then Sophia would be completely isolated!

Just as this notion crossed her mind, Ivy Aretha’s crisp and cold voice began to spread through her ears...

"Miss Larson, what do you want me to say?" Ivy tilted her head and looked at Alya, the smile on her lips tinged with a chilly taste, "Do you want me to say that Miss Larson is running around with her posse, flaunting her wealth in front of us? Or that the refined young lady Miss Larson chose to work at Allure International just so she could put on a show of power in front of people who work hard every day?"

At her words, Lydia’s eyes widened to their limits while Alya’s graceful smile faltered, and Sophia’s defeated eyes revived!

Ivy continued to speak.

"No matter which one it is, if I say it, I’m sure to offend Miss Larson. If people don’t know the situation, they might even think that the future CEO’s Wife is so insecure that she sees her colleagues as love rivals!"

"Isn’t that quite unrefined for Miss Larson?" With the corners of her lips curving upwards with a more provocative smile, Ivy continued, "So, I chose to keep silent. But since you want me to speak, I guess I have no choice, after all, there is a difference between being just an employee and being the future Boss Lady!"

As Ivy added the phrases "future CEO’s Wife" and "future Boss Lady" to her mocking words, it was no longer just a mere provocation but a deeper... sting!

Now that she had said all that needed to be said, there was no chance for any rebuttal!

With just one more word, it would reveal that Alya Larson was overpowering the girl Michael Gordon truly loved using the weight of the Larson family name and the title of Young Master Gordon’s fiancée. All of this would make it impossible for her to continue with her plan!

So she could only endure, forcing herself to hold back!

For now, she’d let it slide and find an opportunity to settle the score later!

As the four of them fell silent for a moment, it was Alya who finally broke the quiet!

"It’s difficult to get a taxi during this rush hour. Why don’t you ride with me? I’ll take you home!" Alya awkwardly changed the topic, trying to avoid the tension.

Sophia scoffed in her heart, thinking ’the weasel comes to pay his respects.’ She had just been mocking her and now, after being blocked by Ivy, she was suddenly acting like the good guy!

Sophia was about to use this opportunity to berate her a little, but before she could speak, Ivy pinched her hard, warning her not to stir up trouble and to know when to stop!

After all, they were colleagues, so Sophia eventually didn’t say anything. Just as Ivy was about to politely decline Alya’s offer, a loud horn blared and cut through the crowded street.

Shortly after, a languid and lazy voice filled with an arrogant charm rang out in front of them, "My woman has to rely on someone else to get to work? Now that really makes me, Michael Gordon, an unrefined man!"

With that devilish laugh lingering in the air, Michael Gordon’s top-of-the-line Maybach, boasting the man’s wild and domineering style, stopped in front of Ivy.

"My dear, though you want to remain low-key, it’s enough to play it that way at work. Off work, we should still show off our love a bit, after all. If not, those unworldly young ladies might think that I, Michael Gordon, don’t know how to cherish a woman!"

Ivy: "..."

While speaking, Michael Gordon had already gotten out of the car and walked over to Ivy’s side, looping around the front of the vehicle to stand in front of her!
