Chapter 189: 170、His Exorbitantly Priced Wife

Upon hearing this, a deep shadow crossed Michael Gordon’s imposing face, and the look he gave Risa Scott gained a harsh element of coercion, "Who told you that Ivy nearly took my life?!"

Perhaps it was the man’s overpowering momentum, or perhaps her own guilty conscience for her behind-the-scenes machinations, Risa Scott instinctively leaned towards Calvin Gordon. Just then, Skyler Gordon led a nurse in. Seeing his mother’s wronged face, his anger flared.

"Michael Gordon, don’t be too much. No matter what, my mom is an elder. What kind of attitude is this?"

Michael Gordon ignored Skyler’s words, didn’t even spare him a glance. It wasn’t that he was heartless, but this brother never treated him as a brother. His ultimate goal was not to regard him as a brother, but to take over Allure International of the Gordon family.

"Dad, where did you hear the news that Ivy nearly killed me back then?" Michael Gordon walked straight in, sat down on Calvin Gordon’s hospital bed, and asked with a serious look, "The event back then was a misunderstanding. I was the one at fault, and she didn’t kill me!"

"She didn’t kill you?" Hearing these words, the anger in Calvin Gordon’s heart grew stronger and he sat upright in anger, "That’s because you were lucky. If the ambulance had arrived a little later, you would have been dead, not just amnesic!"

"Exactly, Michael, you nearly lost your life back then!" Calvin Gordon’s words prompted Risa Scott to join in, "No matter how big the misunderstanding, it wouldn’t lead to murder. If a woman is too violent, it’s not acceptable. Everyone has misunderstandings. If she misunderstands again next time, will she try to kill you again? This kind of woman is too scary!"

While speaking, she asked Calvin Gordon’s opinion, "Hubby, don’t you agree, I am doing this for Michael’s benefit!"

"You are right, Aunt Scott. No matter what, you cannot be with that woman who nearly killed you last time. If the same thing happens again, who knows what kind of chaos will break out. Then how will I answer to your deceased mother!"

"You don’t need to answer to my mother. I believe if my mother were alive, she would definitely like a daughter-in-law like Ivy!"

He knew very well what kind of person his mother was, "Father, are you trying to break Ivy and me apart no matter what today?"

Michael Gordon stared at Calvin’s face motionlessly. His apparently calm eyes were actually filled with tumultuous emotions. His struggle made his decision imminent. His words seemed like a question, yet they also seemed like he was waiting for Calvin Gordon to give a certain and unalterable answer.

"I am not trying to break you up, I just vehemently disagree with your relationship!"

Calvin Gordon stared back at him with an equally harsh gaze. The two sets of similar eyes met head-on, his teeth gritted, "I won’t allow your happiness to be in the hands of a woman with violent tendencies. When you marry, you ought to marry a virtuous woman. Look at your mother and Aunt Scott. Aren’t they both virtuous? I think Alya is very good. Didn’t you used to like her very much? How did you become like this? Did that woman charm you?"

If he hadn’t mentioned his mother, the emotions Michael Gordon had suppressed due to Calvin’s heart disease wouldn’t have flared up so quickly, "No matter how good my mother was, didn’t you forget her so quickly? If my mother was that good, why did you marry another woman so hastily to replace her not even a year after her death?"

"Shut your mouth. It’s not your place to comment on the matters between me and your mother!"

Perhaps Calvin was angry, his face changed immediately and his tone was noticeably annoyed, "No matter what you say or who you bring up today, I will not agree to you being with the woman who nearly killed you. She nearly killed you back then and is involved with you now, isn’t it just for your money?"

Calvin took a few deep breaths before continuing, "How much can a woman coming from an orphanage understand? She only has eyes for money. It’s only women of noble birth like Alya who lack nothing that can truly love you. Poor people lack so many things, they need to make up for what they lack before they can truly love you!"

In Calvin’s point of view, only women who have all conditions met can understand love, those with difficult lives only understand survival before love!

So to him, a woman like Ivy Aretha who grew up in an orphanage, she only understands the allure of money, not love!

Otherwise, why would there be a saying that daughters should be raised in wealth?

"Dad, I understand what you mean!"

Michael Gordon glanced at Risa Scott and Alya Larson standing to the side. He roughly understood what had happened. It seemed these two had smeared Ivy’s reputation in front of his father. His father had unilaterally determined Ivy to be that kind of woman, violent and only loving his money.

"However, dad, even if she does love my money, so what? Do I not have money for her to love?"

Michael Gordon looked at Risa Scott with an amused expression, "Who can guarantee that Aunt Scott didn’t marry you for your money? But don’t you still think she loves you? Love is something each person feels for themselves, just like you did back in the day, right dad?"

Calvin Gordon’s face froze. Was this a retaliation for his hasty marriage to his current wife less than a year after his mother’s death?

He understood his dissatisfaction, he had noticed it over the years, yet he did not expect this dissatisfaction to grow to this point.

But he wouldn’t understand all the hard work he had put in, would he?

Just as he was about to speak, the calm voice of Michael Gordon came again, "Dad, it’s more important for you to take care of your health. It’s better for you to care less about my business. There’s a saying isn’t there, every generation will have their own blessings."

"What’s between Ivy and me is already settled. You already know from yesterday’s news that we are already registered for marriage. If you insist on tearing us apart, then your son will be known as a divorcee. My worth will definitely plummet!"

In recent years, getting divorcee equates to being a heartbreaker, or even a scumbag. The reputation isn’t good!

Michael Gordon spoke casually, which was utterly contrary to his formidable attitude when he first entered the room.

"Michael Gordon, don’t you treat me with nonchalance. It was okay when you created gossip before, but now you’re treating marriages as gossip for headlines. Are you longing for that feeling of being in the headlines?"

Hearing his words, Calvin Gordon suddenly thought he was playing around, and just vexing him about his hasty remarrying after his mother’s death, "Alright, after you’ve had your fun, get the marriage annulled. As for your current worth, even if you divorce once, what of it? Not to mention getting married again, but even three or four times, young girls would still desperately throw themselves at you. Not to mention others, Alya would be willing, she loves you so much!"
