Chapter 258: Challenge the Deep Love of the Storm 238

She was really curious about who had the audacity to put a green hat on CEO Gordon before they even got married!

"Does Michael Gordon look better than me?" Ivy Aretha’s gaze was still on the webpage’s photo of Bianca Aretha, as she followed her logic and then somewhat resentfully said, "Which eye of yours saw Michael Gordon looking better than me?"

Though the man was handsome, when compared to her beauty, Miss Ivy still believed she was the better-looking one!

"I just said your daughter is prettier than you. I didn’t say that Mr. Gordon is prettier than you. Your daughter must have inherited her father’s looks to be even more..." Sophia Young realized midway through her sentence that she might have misunderstood something. She stared at Ivy Aretha with eyes widened incredulously.

Ivy Aretha chuckled and patted her head, continuing with her statement: "Isn’t it just that? My daughter is prettier than me, she doesn’t inherit that from me, so she must be inheriting it from her father, and that means Michael is prettier than me!"

This glaringly obvious answer was instantly understood by Sophia Young.

She then screamed out, "Your daughter’s father is Michael Gordon? You actually have such an old daughter with Michael Gordon?"

No wonder when she first joined the company, Michael Gordon had the entire Legal Department move to the CEO’s office on the first floor, less than two days later, Anna left for her marriage leave and Sophia, a newcomer, was pulled over to replace the position of CEO’s secretary!

At that time, she thought that maybe Ivy Aretha was an all-rounder capable of doing everything, and that the CEO would conveniently use her. Now, she realized that she was really blind for not discovering such a big secret at the time!

"Mhm!"

In contrast to Sophia’s exaggerated expression, Ivy Aretha only gave a light hum.

"Damn, are you silly? You have such a big daughter and are already recognized as Mrs. Gordon. Why’d you let a scheming woman like Alya Larson come to our company? Is it to add trouble to your life or to test a man’s loyalty?"

Sophia wore a serious face, jabbing at her head and complaining, "I think this time, CEO Gordon has made a fuss about this. It should be that woman’s doing. Otherwise, why would they even expose a five-year-old child’s photo? This is so inhuman!"

Calvin Gordon’s wish for Alya Larson to become Mrs. Michael Gordon is no secret in Andras City. Still, this blatant disclosure was a bit overboard – after all, family scandals should not be exposed. Which wealthy family didn’t have their problems?!

She hadn’t seen such ruthless actions before, assuming that the child wasn’t Michael’s. Even his own granddaughter was talked about like this; the old man was truly something else!

Sophia Young assumed that she might have hurt Ivy Aretha through her harsh words as Ivy Aretha was the biggest victim of this entire incident. Even a bystander like herself felt indignant, let alone the person involved being Ivy Aretha!

"Ivy, don’t be sad. I shouldn’t have said that either. After all, those women who need their parents to force their husbands to marry them are the ones who won’t get a man’s love!"

The weaker the person is, the angrier they are!

Ivy Aretha’s mind was still on the statement ’Alya certainly did something which led to exposing the child’s photo,’ as if she didn’t hear anything Sophia Young said afterward.

Alya Larson?

The child’s picture?

Bianca’s photo?

An intense sense of déjà vu flashed across Ivy Aretha’s mind. The background of this photo, the lighting, all matched with the steakhouse she went to last night with Bianca Aretha. And it was there where she ran into Alya. Could it be that Alya took the photo?

Thinking of this, Ivy Aretha suddenly stood up, wanting to find Michael Gordon. Because she moved too quickly, everyone in the office gazed at her, only then did she realize that it was working hours now.

She immediately sat down, snapped a picture of the information on Sophia Young’s computer screen, and then told Sophia her suspicions. Michael Gordon quickly replied with a simple ’OK,’ and added another message after a while, assuring her that he would handle it and she didn’t need to worry!

Several hours later, when Ivy Aretha refreshed the webpage again, Bianca Aretha’s photo was gone. That night, Ivy Aretha didn’t mention this incident again, and Bianca continued to be escorted to and from school by Cathy as usual.

As scheduled, on Wednesday morning Ivy Aretha specifically went to Lincoln Park’s filming site. Today, they were shooting a manor fight scene, a so-called high-stakes and high-risk scene. She wanted to see the level of danger so she could ensure the right insurance coverage.

Ever since Alya Larson drove Ivy Aretha into a car accident, Michael Gordon assigned his skilled driver to her. A car was even provided. In addition, their marriage had already caused a sensation, so there was nothing to hide anymore.

When she arrived, the crew was taking a break, with groups of people sitting around. She spotted Ariana Hunt sitting alone, her expression serene as she studied the script. Since Ariana’s aura resembled Lina Miller, Ivy was momentarily dazed. However, before she could walk over and greet Ariana Hunt, two women in green costumes approached her!

From her understanding of the cast members she insured for this show, Ivy Aretha quickly found the details corresponding to these two people. They were Abby Leon’s followers - secondary actors. Last time, Abby Leon’s assistant wanted to provoke Lina Miller but ended up provoking Ivy instead, getting fired by Michael Gordon. Subsequently, Ariana Hunt, who hadn’t taken on any significant roles, gained an advantage.

It didn’t take much thinking to know these two were here to cause trouble.

As expected, one of the women started talking first: "Ariana Hunt, be honest, did you sabotage Abby Leon behind her back so she couldn’t make it in Allure International?"

Hearing this, Ariana Hunt didn’t say anything and didn’t even raise her head. She just focused on her script, showing no intention of acknowledging them. The biggest hope for people who cause trouble is for you to give them attention, make you angry, and then feel satisfied. But Ariana Hunt didn’t seem to care at all.

This unworldly indifference made the two women who were determined to cause trouble feel valueless. Ivy Aretha, who originally intended to step up and explain on Ariana Hunt’s behalf, stopped her motion upon seeing their bewildered faces, deciding to watch the following performance instead.

Ariana Hunt is an exceptional actress, appearing so composed and calm in her ancient costume while studying the script with great concentration, creating an immersive picture. At that moment, Ivy Aretha suddenly felt an impulse to capture this scene and send it via WhatsApp.

"Snap!"

Just as her phone camera shutter clicked, Ivy Aretha regretted not turning off the flash and sound on her phone. The noise caught the attention of the two women who were just pestering Ariana Hunt, and they suddenly looked at her.

Ivy Aretha just shrugged her shoulders as the two women approached her, extending their hands out naturally and domineeringly. In a simple and overbearing manner, they demanded, "Hand it over!"
