Chapter 236: 217, She might be pregnant.

"Going crazy?!" Michael Gordon’s face, which was already extremely gloomy, darkened even more. He stared intently at Fabian Nala, who he had pushed away, but didn’t look at Ivy Aretha. However, his words were directed at Ivy, "Can’t you even see such obvious jealousy?"

Ivy Aretha: "..."

Does this man’s possessiveness know no bounds?!

"Alright, I’m already married to you and now a married woman. Nobody would even look at me now. What kind of jealousy are you feeling?" Ivy Aretha saw that Michael’s fist was no longer clenched and loosened her grip around her waist. "Stop fooling around, my senior has something to discuss with me. You, get out!"

"I’m your husband, not his, so why should I leave?" Michael Gordon turned his head and glanced at Ivy Aretha, speaking calmly and shamelessly, "I simply won’t leave!"

Ivy Aretha: "..."

Why is this man becoming more and more unreasonable?!

"Nevermind, Ivy, it doesn’t matter whether he stays or not!" Fabian Nala glanced at Michael Gordon, his entire body still trembling with excitement from the news. "I just want to ask what happened last night before I showed up. I heard that someone wanted to make Lina Miller suffer, and you stood up for her? Is this true or false?"

He really couldn’t investigate the internal affairs of Allure International unless these two people were willing to tell him.

"Yes, something happened, but it didn’t cause any harm, so..."

"Can you tell me what happened? A direct confrontation or slander behind her back?"

Perhaps Fabian Nala knew what Ivy wanted to say, so he interrupted her impatiently before she could speak, giving her a choice. After all, considering Lina Miller’s current status and her relationship with Ivy, it seemed unlikely that anyone would dare to confront her openly. So naturally, it was...

"Were they setting a trap for her? Something like a scandal?"

There were only a few tricks women in the entertainment industry could play. Once, Lina had almost been framed as part of a mistress scandal. She was so naive that she hadn’t even realized it. Fortunately, he had kept his eyes open and dealt with the person behind the scenes in advance!

Thinking about it now, this woman was truly exceptionally naive. Aside from acting day and night, she didn’t care about anything else. If he hadn’t been watching her closely, she would have been tarnished by others. As Fabian Nala thought about this, he became increasingly convinced of this possibility!

"Did someone create some sort of misunderstanding to tarnish her reputation?"

Seeing the man’s anxious eyes and tense body, Ivy blurted out without thinking, "Senior, did you hear that at the time?"

Ivy’s body stiffened, her heart skipping a beat as her memory replayed that moment. When Fabian Nala had come to pick up Lina Miller, the topic of her pregnancy had already been discussed, and they had moved on to talking about her mysterious boyfriend.

Based on when Fabian Nala had appeared, he hadn’t heard anything about the conversation where Lina was questioned about her pregnancy and the alleged scandal. She had promised to keep Lina’s secret, so naturally, she wouldn’t reveal anything. Furthermore, it involved a woman’s reputation, so when she talked with Michael later, she simply said that it was just a joke.

She hadn’t shared anything about Lina’s situation!

"Heard what?!"

"So they really did slander her again! What was it this time? A mistress scandal?" Ivy’s words caused Fabian Nala’s nerves to tense up instinctively. With a pair of sharp eyes as cold as ice and a voice like an arrow, he said to Michael Gordon, "You invited her here, and then she got sabotaged on your turf? Now, she’s run off alone. How are you going to explain yourself to me?!"

Whether he was too angry or too worried, Fabian Nala’s handsome face became extremely cold. The taut lines outlining his features gave his appearance a chilling aura. His gaze was sharp as an arrow, as if he had come to challenge Michael to a duel!

However, much to his surprise, the irritated Mr. Gordon seemed to feel much better after being questioned by Fabian. He looked at Fabian with a hint of amusement in his eyes, his thin lips curling up slightly, an unconcerned smile spreading across his beautiful, devilish face. "Why should I explain myself to you? What are you to her? Are you her lover? You never even admitted it! Surely I don’t have to explain myself to her boss when she, an artist under me, experiences some grievances?"

As he said this, Michael’s mood was excellent. With just these few questions, he felt like he could almost drive this man out of his sphere as a love rival!

It seemed his eyes were still sharp. Lina Miller was indeed more than just an artist under him. He hadn’t sensed anything when she was present, but her absence had exposed his true feelings!

Stunned, Fabian Nala stared at Michael, speechless and unable to utter a single word for a while. He indeed had no right to ask Michael to explain anything. Lina was just an artist under him. He had regarded all the kindness he had bestowed upon Lina as gratitude since Jensen’s Entertainment Department relied on Lina to thrive and advance rapidly.

Therefore, he had believed that his concern and care for Lina were merely a boss’s gratitude towards an employee, and he had neglected his own true desire to be good to her.

Michael’s question had awakened him. He wanted to say that he was her boyfriend, but he couldn’t do it while Ivy was standing there!

"Senior, maybe Lina just went to relax on a trip and might come back in a few days!" Seeing him looking so dejected, Ivy knew that Lina would not be returning in the short term but couldn’t help but comfort him.

"Last night, she suddenly said she was too tired and needed a break. At first, she said one year, and then she said the company agreed to her taking a hiatus. This morning she left a message, saying the world was so vast and she wanted to see it. But I have a feeling that she won’t come back!"

Deep down, he was thinking that he was the one who drove her away. Whether or not someone else had made things difficult for her was really beside the point. But he still wanted to know who had tried to harm her, and ultimately, do something for her!

One year?

Ivy couldn’t help but recall Lina’s words from the night before: she wanted the child growing inside her. As a result, her identity as an artist could be exposed at any time. Now that she had suddenly left, she was probably hiding to give birth to the baby, right?!

So, who’s the father?

He doesn’t want the child? Or does she not want the child’s father to know?

With these thoughts, Ivy, who wanted to protect Lina’s secret, couldn’t help but ask tentatively: "Senior, who is Lina’s boyfriend?"

As soon as the words left her mouth, Ivy realized that Fabian Nala looked as if he had been struck by lightning. She remembered Lina’s secretive identity, so she hastily added, "I’m asking if she has a boyfriend she’s secretly dating?"
