Chapter 257: 237, Deep Love in Challenging Storms

After speaking, Sophia Young tried to rush to fight with Alya, but Ivy Aretha held her back. Sophia was a just woman, and just women tend to be impulsive. She didn’t understand, but Ivy knew that the situation between her and Michael Gordon couldn’t be resolved by impulses.

Michael had said that she shouldn’t care about anything, and it was enough that he came!

So now, all she had to do was not make a scene!

"Why are you stopping me?"

Sophia wasn’t willing to give in, "That bitch, we shouldn’t have shown mercy last time, and have your husband take care of her so that she wouldn’t have a place to beg in Andras City!"

Michael originally meant to do that, but after they saw her pitiful face, they decided to spare her. Unexpectedly, just two days later, she was causing trouble again.

"If you don’t deal with her, she really thinks your marriage certificate is just for show and that you need parental consent to get married in this day and age. Chairman Gordon’s disagreement has no fucking relevance as long as Mr. Gordon still treasures you, it will take minutes to get rid of her. What are you afraid of!"

By the end, Sophia thought that Ivy had lost her advantage because of the disturbance, and that’s why she turned a blind eye and ignored Alya!

"What do I have to be afraid of? I’m afraid that only those without confidence will do such things because, in this day and age, grasping a man’s heart is the same as grasping the whole world. Otherwise, without a man’s heart, even if the whole world thinks you are Mrs. Gordon, you can only watch as someone else becomes Mrs. Gordon!"

Ivy spoke casually and quietly, not intending for Alya to hear. Under normal circumstances, she wouldn’t bother her, and she wouldn’t actively embarrass her!

She said this just to comfort Sophia, who was ready to fight for her.

"Wow, Ivy, I just found out today why you could capture the charming Mr. Gordon so quickly!" Hearing this, Sophia admired her, feeling that it was more enjoyable than punching someone, "Indeed, one object subdues another, Mr. Gordon needed to be conquered by someone like you. This is so awesome, fucking awesome!"

Sophia laughed while she spoke, already doubled over on the office desk, her legs excitedly bouncing off the table’s corner, looking like a madman. Ivy rolled her eyes at her and chose to ignore her completely.

With only two months left until the New Year, there were many documents to process, especially the renewal contracts submitted by the Human Resources Department, and the insurance contracts for the cast of the upcoming New Year film, all of which needed to be processed. Ivy flipped through a few pages, and her eyes stopped on Ariana Hunt’s unchanged contract.

Initially, her insurance amount was the lowest among actresses of the same level because she was a supporting character. But now, she was the female lead of "First Favored Queen." The plot required her to be a general’s daughter, clear her family’s grievance, and help King Jun seize power, becoming the most favored queen in history. Such plot, of course, involved high-risk martial arts and horse riding.

The Film and Television Department hadn’t notified about any changes to the insurance, but in case of an accident, it would be a huge loss for both the person and the company. Moreover, Lina Miller was hospitalized for an injury last time. Ivy carefully thought about it, then sought to check the shooting locations for a while and discuss the risk factor with the director and crew before adjusting the insurance amount.

After checking the schedule and setting a time with the director and crew, she looked up and saw the shining eyes of Sophia, staring at her like she was a monster, which really scared her: "Why don’t you work properly instead of staring at me and trying to scare people?"

"Is this cute kid yours?"

Sophia didn’t care about Ivy’s words and pointed to the soft, adorable face of Bianca Aretha on the computer screen. She asked with an uncertain tone, and her fingers landed on the subtitles on the computer screen: The Gordon family will never acknowledge a woman of unknown origin marrying into the Gordon family with a child of unknown origin!

Looking in the direction Sophia pointed, Ivy saw the child of unknown origin first and then Bianca’s soft, adorable face. Her heart sank, her body instantly stiffened, and a string in her mind snapped.

Ivy had always been careful with Bianca’s photos. From the moment she gave birth to her, she hadn’t taken any photos of her happiness on WhatsApp or Google+. Even her one-year-old birthday photos were taken by Sienna Harrison’s private photographer to avoid spreading them. After all, Bianca was Evan Gordon’s daughter, and even after marrying Michael, she maintained these habits.

Celebrities were already exposed to the public enough, and especially for someone like Michael, who had many relationships, exposing her child’s photo would push Bianca to the edge and disrupt her life. Bianca was already sensible, and Ivy didn’t want to add this burden to her.

Michael also agreed with this point, but why would this photo appear on the internet? In the photo, Bianca has her big eyes wide open and is looking at the person next to her with a smile on her face, revealing two deep dimples, clearly very happy.

When did this scene take place?

Ivy racked her brain, coming up empty. Sophia nudged her with her elbow: "I’m asking you, is this child yours?"

"Yes!"

Without thinking, Ivy replied instinctively, searching her brain for any possible hint in the photo, growing more anxious. The picture was obviously taken secretly, and being secretly photographed without knowing and then accurately exposed at this time is clearly not the work of someone unintentional. Had they been tracked?

Or had they been tracked all along?

With this thought, Ivy broke out in a cold sweat on her forehead.

"Yo, Ivy, you’re really awesome. You could still capture a high-quality man like Mr. Gordon after having a child!" Sophia’s admiration grew even stronger, and she didn’t notice the change in Ivy’s expression as she spoke, "Tell me, how did you capture Mr. Gordon so that he didn’t even care that you’ve had a child?"

Sophia was naturally interested in this news. Seeing the report, she thought the reason the Gordon family objected to Ivy was that she was a woman who had a child and therefore couldn’t match up to Michael, a man who had top-tier wealthy boys who were willing to undress and throw themselves at him before turning eighteen. Michael was the coveted golden son-in-law for many families!

So she was especially curious and wanted to know. After all, she was chasing a man herself, and with some experience, she could get rid of the damned man faster!

"Why do you say I captured him?" Ivy frowned, still deep in thought and not paying attention to Sophia’s words, "He captured me, okay?"

"He captured you? Ivy, do you really think you’re a fairy or something? Fine, even if you’re a fairy, you’re still a fairy who has had a child. These days, it doesn’t matter what kind of fairy you are, if you’re a woman who has had a child, your value falls, and you can forget about marrying into a wealthy family or anything else!"

As she spoke, Sophia started to feel that something was not right again, "I’m saying this child is obviously better looking than you. Whose excellent genes are responsible here? Who’s the father of this child?"
