Chapter 235: 216, She might be pregnant.

"You mean Ivy?"

It took Mario Jensen a moment to get used to the address of Mrs. Gordon, and it was only after a while that he realized she was referring to Ivy Aretha. He remembered seeing her holding onto Michael Gordon’s arm when he went to pick her up yesterday, which upon closer inspection seemed to be more about support. At that time, Michael Gordon was also present, seemingly in a bad mood, and everyone around them remained silent.

However, his attention was mostly on Lina Miller’s pale face, so he didn’t pay much attention to the other details. With Michael Gordon present, he didn’t need to worry about Ivy, and he didn’t interfere to save Michael Gordon from a scolding!

That man was naturally jealous and would scold him for speaking to Ivy, so he simply kept quiet to avoid embarrassment. However, little did he expect things to turn out like this!

Were those people targeting Lina Miller?

It made sense – no one in Allure International would dare disrespect the CEO’s Wife. It was unforgivable that he had overlooked this fact!

"Yes, yes, Mr. Jensen, you..."

Before the other person could finish speaking, Jensen cut off the call and grabbed his car keys. Ethan Stones was startled by Mario Jensen’s hurried movements.

Allure International Legal Department

"Mrs. Gordon, there’s a Mr. Jensen here to see you. He’s waiting in the lounge!"

The call was transferred from Allure International’s first-floor reception to the Legal Department.

"A Mr. Jensen?" Could it be Mario Jensen?

Of all the people she knew, the only one with the surname Jensen was Mario Jensen, but they had just met yesterday. He was always cautious and would likely call if there was an issue. It seemed unlike Jensen’s style to show up at her workplace unannounced.

"Ivy, are you secretly seeing someone behind Mr. Gordon’s back?" Seeing Ivy’s surprised expression, Sophia Young teased with raised eyebrows. That woman had nearly scared Sophia into having a heart attack last night.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Do I look like the kind of person who would do that?"

Ivy frowned, thinking about who it could be while flicking Sophia’s forehead with her finger, protesting the accusations Sophia had made.

"Yes, you’re exactly that kind of reckless person. You’re so good at keeping secrets. You even got married to Mr. Gordon without telling me, letting those mistress-wannabes bully me. If I knew the woman who married Mr. Gordon was you, would I need to be so subservient? Not to mention Alya Larson and her few cronies, even if the entire company came at me, I’d still fight them off!"

After all, whoever is Mrs. Gordon is the boss these days!

Ivy: "..."

"It’s because of you, a violent bully who relies on your connections, that I didn’t tell you. Otherwise, my husband would have ended up as a tool for your revenge!" Ivy scorned Sophia’s reliance on connections.

Sophia Young: "..."

"Ivy, admit when you hooked up with Mr. Gordon. You’ve only been with Allure International for just over half a year and managed to achieve something that others couldn’t in a lifetime here. What tricks did you use? Was it some new trick in bed?"

As she spoke, Sophia tugged on Ivy, who was about to leave. "If there is, teach me some tricks. I’m planning to seduce the handsome director of the Film and Television Department!"

At those words, Ivy turned back and looked at her, her eyes twitching as she scrutinized Sophia as if she were some monster. After a long while, she slapped her on the head. "Put your mind back in order and be sincere when you find someone you like. Don’t always fill your brain with dirty thoughts!"

Ivy shook her head in disbelief, then got up and headed for the reception room. She noticed Alya Larson’s eyes – those harboring complex emotions – followed Ivy’s figure, and it made her heart tremble with fear.

Suddenly, Ivy shouted, "Ivy, be careful when you walk. Remember, you’re carrying a child now. If I don’t take care of you, Mr. Gordon will punish me!"

She said this while secretly sneaking a peek at Alya Larson, and sure enough, she found that her previously calm face had instantly turned pale. Sophia’s mood brightened suddenly!

Seeing the once arrogant and domineering Lydia Summers now just clenching her teeth in frustration, not daring to vent, gave Sophia immense satisfaction!

In order to take revenge on Ivy, Lydia Summers tried to humiliate Ivy’s man. In the end, however, the CEO caught them red-handed. Michael Gordon initially intended to fire the man on the spot and banished him from Andras City. It was Ivy who pleaded for leniency, allowing the man to stay with the company but at half his salary.

Dealing with conniving women like Lydia Summers, it was better to keep them close to monitor their actions than to drive them away to cause harm to others!

When Ivy opened the door to the lounge, she saw Mario Jensen’s dispirited figure. His tall and slender back cast a deep sense of loss in the spacious lounge, radiating an aura of desperation as if abandoned by the world. Ivy hesitated, hardly believing her eyes. "Mario?"

This was the first time she’d seen such a sad silhouette, not knowing that there were even more desperate silhouettes in the world. When she encountered one of them later, she realized how insignificant Mario’s sadness appeared in comparison!

"Ivy!" Hearing her voice, the man rushed forward and tightly grabbed her shoulders with trembling hands. "Tell me, who humiliated Lina Miller last night? Was it that artist named Abby Leon?"

The man’s short, sharp words were filled with tension, and Ivy suddenly sensed that something was amiss. "Mario, what happened?"

Ivy’s intuition told her that something significant must have happened to make the usually composed Mario Jensen lose control like this!

"Lina is missing... "

"Your woman is missing, so why are you grabbing hold of my woman? Let go of her, Mario Jensen!"

Before Mario could finish speaking, the door to the lounge was kicked open, and Michael Gordon stormed in with a dark cloud looming over his refined face.

The next moment, before Mario could react, he was pushed away and saw a fist flying towards him, only to be stopped mid-air. Looking up, he saw Ivy holding onto Michael Gordon’s waist.

"Michael Gordon, what’s wrong with you? Why are you trying to hit someone out of the blue?"

Ivy was nearly frightened – the man had entered wanting to hit Mario right away, and luckily, she had reacted fast enough to prevent serious injury.
