Chapter 259: 239, A matter of life and death

"What if I say no?"

Ivy Aretha shrugged casually, and even her smile seemed harmless, "Olivia Stones and Cellia Lewis, right? Have you forgotten how to be decent people after playing so many villain roles?"

The hand that was just about to snatch her phone hesitated for a moment, seemingly surprised that Ivy could accurately name them and even knew that they had been auditioning for villain roles.

It took a while for them to realize that it was quite normal for people to recognize their faces due to their numerous TV and movie appearances. As for their roles, it could be seen on the screen!

After all, the roles they played had been very popular. However, why did Ivy know them, and why their gazes at her seemed so familiar?

"Who are you to lecture us? This is the crew, not a place where anyone can come and go!" Olivia Stones said while hovering over Ivy’s chest, not seeing the crew staff’s work badge, and naturally assumed she was an intruder.

"I’m not someone, and I’m not trying to lecture you. But I’m not here casually either; I’m here to work. You’re surrounding the person I’m trying to find, which is delaying my work. And what I just filmed? It’s evidence of you holding up my work!"

Ivy raised her phone in her hand, smiling openly, but her gaze fell on Ariana Hunt, who was studying the script, seemingly oblivious to the conversation. Her brows furrowed with curiosity. Ariana was truly a big-hearted woman to remain so composed amidst the chaos.

"Delete the photo, or we won’t...!"

"What can I do for you, Mrs. Gordon?"

In the middle of Olivia’s threat, Ariana lifted her head from the script and stood up, nodding slightly and greeting Ivy.

"Mrs. Gordon?"

Olivia Stones and Cellia Lewis practically shouted in unison. Olivia’s face paled, realizing she had just offended her Boss Lady!

Star Abby Leon merely sent an assistant to ruin Lina Miller, inadvertently implicating Ivy and causing a new play to change hands. As second-tier actors, directly offending Mrs. Gordon could doom their entire families!

Olivia began to regret not paying closer attention to Mrs. Gordon’s appearance. Unfortunately, the Legal Department and the CEO Office were on the same floor, so they rarely had the chance to encounter each other. Mrs. Gordon tended to keep a low profile, so even her work photos didn’t circulate, so many people haven’t seen her!

Suddenly in trouble, just as Olivia Stones was about to apologize, Cellia Lewis grabbed her and stopped her. Instead, Cellia looked at Ariana Hunt and sneered, "So your backer is the so-called Mrs. Gordon? Birds of a feather flock together– one stole the title of Mrs. Gordon, and the other stole a new play. How fitting!"

Cellia Lewis seemed more calculating than Olivia Stones, naturally paying attention to the uproar and subsequent silencing of the news in the past few days. This Mrs. Gordon wasn’t as favored as rumors suggested; it appeared Chairman Gordon didn’t welcome her. Even after giving birth to her child, she couldn’t step foot in the Gordon family’s home. The Gordon family’s ideal wife was Alya Larson.

Upon hearing this, Ariana Hunt wanted to speak up, but Ivy stopped her. Clearly, in these people’s minds, she already had this reputation; it was pointless to try and defend herself.

An explanation would only make them think she was making excuses for her own disgrace.

"You’re absolutely right; I dare to do it and even dare to make others not talk about it. I am so unreasonable!" Ivy said as she enthusiastically clapped her hands, her brows filled with arrogance, "Can’t help it; who makes me have such a loving husband? Even if the whole world betrays me, he will still stand on my side and betray the whole world. Why don’t you try marrying someone like that?"

Ariana Hunt: "..." This Mrs. Gordon was way too arrogant, huh?

It showed just how much importance she held in Mr. Gordon’s heart. Ariana might know about the relationship between Ivy and Michael Gordon, as she had witnessed the love in Michael Gordon’s eyes when he stood outside the operating room when she was taken for a blood transfusion. At that time, she knew that their daughter was born to Ivy and Michael.

There was no way a woman could say something with such gravity without her husband’s love. Especially when the entire Gordon family rejected and slandered her.

Suddenly, Olivia Stones and Cellia Lewis were at a loss for words. Such bold and domineering words did not make her seem shameless. Instead, it stirred up a sense of envy. Everyone wants to stand on someone else’s shoulders, so who can truly accomplish it - especially when they’re at the bottom of society? everyone wants to hold onto someone else’s legs and hope for a bit of good luck.

However, this woman, considered by almost everyone in Andras City to be down on their luck, was still wildly arrogant.

However, they had to admit that they didn’t have what it takes to marry such a husband!

Seeing them speechless, Ivy didn’t want to waste any more time and energy on women who enjoy playing petty games: "If you’re done, please step aside and don’t delay my work!"

Sensing their defeat, Olivia and Cellia stepped back, but Ivy couldn’t help but remind them: "And, it’s better to mind one’s own business. Opportunities are for talented and principled people, so you should think twice about your actions!"
