Chapter 249: 230. Confrontation between women
"So Miss Larson, just say what you want to say directly!"
"Since Mrs. Gordon is so confident, then I’ll speak directly!" When two women confront each other, they must not lose their aura, which Alya Larson knew better than anyone else, and the current situation seemed to be turning in her favor.
"I believe you know that Michael has suffered amnesia, right?"
"That’s right, I’m the culprit!"
Ivy Aretha admitted this openly and honestly. Alya Larson was taken aback at first but then thought it was normal for this brazen woman. Since Alya wanted to be the gentleman, Ivy naturally needed to know her opponent’s power!
"Well, you must also know that despite all the scandals surrounding Michael over the years, not a single person has touched his heart, right?"
"That’s because he hadn’t met me yet!" Ivy Aretha seemed to have no time for Alya’s nonsense and directly countered, "Once he met me, his heart only had room for me, and that’s why we eloped and got married!"
"That’s because you have a child together!" Alya sneered, "He wanted to take responsibility; he is a man of responsibility!"
"There have been plenty of women who want him to take responsibility, but it seems that the only one who has the ability to conceive his child is me, Ivy Aretha!"
Alya was rendered speechless.
Ivy’s words were like quick-fire attacks,.getting straight to the heart of the matter. Though Alya tried to discuss the Gordon family’s issues with him, Alya had no chance to get to the main point and kept being preoccupied by her diversionary tactics. Ivy even wanted her to give up.
It seemed like Alya really meant it when she said she would openly sabotage their relationship, "Miss Larson, since you want to sabotage our relationship so openly, you’re putting everything out in the open!"
"Of course, it’s been a while since I’ve encountered such a brazen opponent, so I have to face the challenge head-on!"
Alya chuckled, "Let’s put it this way, now you have a child and a marriage certificate, but the Gordon family has thrown you back into prison, while I have neither a child nor a marriage certificate, but I do have the support of the Gordon family and the Larson family. So, are our chances equal?"
Ha!
It turns out that when high IQ women lose their composure, they are truly unparalleled and even stealing someone else’s husband becomes a business deal calculated down to the last detail. But what she said seemed correct. Ivy had Michael Gordon’s daughter, but Alya had the support of Michael’s father. She had ignored one thing, though.
"Who said they were the same?" Ivy laughed knowingly, "You overlooked the most important thing. I have Michael’s love, while all you seem to have is his disdain. Just on this basis, treating you as a love rival seems a little polite, don’t you think?"
Michael Gordon had a prejudice against Alya Larson due to Risa Scott’s involvement. Ivy was sure of this and felt most reassured about it, so she didn’t take this love rival to heart, except for her cleverness!
However, a woman as intelligent and ruthless as her was still somewhat daunting to Ivy!
"Mrs. Gordon, isn’t it too early to say that? I don’t have his love now, but six years ago, I did, and it seems it was just the opposite for you!"
Alya stared intently at Ivy, catching her shock when she heard those words, and just as she expected, though Ivy kept her composure, she could see the turmoil inside. "Before losing his memory, he loved me and hated you. After losing his memory, he loved you and hated me. So, our relationship is fair!"
Michael loved Alya before he lost his memory?
People can forget things, but their subconscious remains unchanged, especially when it comes to preferences. These preferences become instinctual over time and don’t change due to temporary amnesia. So, even though Michael had lost his memory, his business instincts remained intact. Because of this, when he looked at documents, that buried past became his instinct!
So, saying he loved Alya before was something that Ivy instinctually didn’t believe. Moreover, she and Michael didn’t know each other back then, so where did this so-called hate come from.
"Ha! Six years ago, Michael and I didn’t even know each other. Even though he lost his memory, I didn’t, so I can only treat your words as if you never said them!"
"Really? You don’t know him? How can you be sure he doesn’t know you? You’re wrong; he not only knows you, but the entire Gordon family knows you. It’s just that he’s the only one who’s forgotten. That’s why you were kicked out by the Gordon family today!"
When Alya said this, her smile revealed a sense of relief from long-repressed emotions. Ivy turned paler as Alya spoke.
"So, Mrs. Gordon’s reliance on her beauty is only temporary. Let’s put it this way, your face is so despised by the whole Gordon family that the woman who looks exactly like you must be either your mother or your aunt. If I guessed correctly, it should be your mother, Luna Cooper. Twenty years ago, this woman almost caused the extinction of the Gordon family and even carried the guilt of dozens of deaths. So, there are not only love and hate but also dozens of lives between you and Michael..."
"How do you know these things that even I don’t know?"
Ivy had always been calm, but hearing the name Luna Cooper finally made her lose her composure. The shock brought by this day was not small; things she didn’t know were dug up by others.
"Don’t worry about how I know. Michael probably found out a long time ago. He has been investigating your identity for months, only keeping it from you. The only thing he forgot was the tangle of gratitude and grudges between you two!"
Alya looked at Ivy and laughed wildly, then sipped her coffee like Ivy had earlier, "He knew six years ago. Otherwise, why would Michael Gordon, with his status and the women who want to sleep with him, rape you just because he was drugged or drunk? Finding a woman to satisfy his physiological needs would have been normal, so why rape you?!"
When Alya said those words, all her energy was focused on biting the words "rape." It was as if Ivy couldn’t understand the meaning of the word otherwise.
"The conclusion is just one: revenge!"
Rape? Revenge?
Ivy Aretha’s mind exploded with a bang, and all her seemingly painful but beautiful memories disappeared in an instant. Things that she had not understood were explained in a way that suddenly seemed to provide a plausible answer. Given the Gordon family’s behavior that day, Ivy almost believed it. But she still couldn’t help but ask, "If it was for revenge, why did he let me get pregnant?"
This was the only thing Alya couldn’t explain!
"Accidents happen, Ivy Aretha. Don’t make excuses for yourself. Calvin Gordon knows everything, and Michael knows everything, too. He’s been investigating for a long time. The whole world knows, and you’re the only one in the dark!"
Alya sneered, "Do you feel stupid and innocent? You didn’t even know who your mother was, and you’ve become your husband’s enemy!"
