Chapter 397: Chapter 376: It’s Just That Mr. Gordon Has Been Sleeping for Free for a Few Years!

She had come this far by being flexible and adaptable, which was essential for management. However, her current target was different – before she had used this strategy on the company’s Human Resources Department and her own competitors!

And now, her target was the CEO. Whether she could succeed was still uncertain. But at this point, she had no other choice but to bet on Alya Larson.

Aside from Alya, everyone in the office was in chaos. Even Skyler Gordon looked somewhat anxious. Although he was trying hard to control himself, he was still an inexperienced child and could not stay calm!

Therefore, Maria Young naturally pinned her hopes on Alya Larson. Moreover, after all, this incident was not instigated by Alya, but by the ignorant Young Master Skyler Gordon.

The blame couldn’t be placed on Alya, who was Chairman Gordon’s trusted aide and had contributed to Allure International. So Maria Young planned to take a risk and grasp at this life-saving straw before Michael Gordon arrived. She initially thought that it would require some persuasion, but surprisingly, Alya agreed in an instant!

Alya even said that this whole matter was just a misunderstanding, and that Mr. Gordon simply asked everyone to stay just to get things straight. With Alya’s words, the restless hearts of everyone in the office instantly returned to peace, and they were back to fawning over Alya.

"If Mr. Gordon comes, we’ll just tell him it’s a misunderstanding, and there’s no need to say anything else. I’ll explain it to him!"

Alya solemnly promised to the group surrounding her, as if she was certain that Michael Gordon would take her word for it!

"With Alya’s word, we feel reassured!"

"With Alya here, we can feel at ease. After all, she’s the chosen daughter-in-law of the Gordon family, personally selected by Chairman Gordon. Ivy Aretha is just a plaything Mr. Gordon hasn’t grown tired of. It won’t be long before she’s kicked out!"

"What kicked out? That hillbilly who crawled out from the orphanage can’t even step foot in the Gordon’s doorstep, let alone get kicked out. She has just been sleeping with Mr. Gordon for free for several years!"

"I heard that not only does Chairman Gordon not recognize her, but he also doesn’t admit to the child. Do you think that the child is really Mr. Gordon’s seed?"

"Probably not, otherwise the Chairman wouldn’t even deny his own granddaughter!"

"Damn, this woman is really badass. To make Mr. Gordon marry her even though she’s given birth to someone else’s child. She must be really skillful!"

"It’s natural. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to drive her out of the company despite our combined efforts. She must have some real skills!"

"The real skill is in bed. I heard that women who have given birth are even more passionate in bed!"

"But she looks so innocent. Could it be that the more innocent-looking a woman is, the wilder she is in bed?"

With Alya Larson’s promise, everyone immediately gathered around her, chattering away. Every word they spoke was about Ivy Aretha’s misdeeds. They hadn’t seemed to hate her so much before, but now they spoke as if she were a scourge-like vixen!

"And what if she’s wild in bed? It’s still better than some people who can’t even do it!"

Suddenly, a cold, gloomy voice like an ocean abyss resounded like a chime from the entrance of the Legal Department’s office. The noise in the office abruptly ceased, and all the heads that had been huddled together scattered. They all looked towards the office’s entrance...

Although they had guessed who had arrived from the sound of his voice, they were still startled when they saw his face. Instinctively, they shrank their heads back into their necks, and the righteous indignation they had just displayed vanished!

Michael Gordon leaned against the office door with a not-quite-smiling expression. He played idly with the car key in his hand, his movements elegant and his demeanor sinister. The cold eyes that looked into the office, however, held no warmth at all!

Such icy eyes, with an indiscernible darkness, seemed to have emerged from the human world’s hell. Although his beauty left people unable to look away, they still dared not glance at him!

The office fell into a deathly silence, and almost everyone instinctively hid behind Alya, even the department head, Maria Young!

When Michael Gordon saw this, his already cold eyes instantly twisted!

He had always hated office cliques, but now it was clear that a group of people had been won over by Alya. No wonder Ivy was blocked by Skyler Gordon at the door when her forehead was bleeding, and they wouldn’t even let her into the clothes room!

He could only imagine how they had treated Ivy normally!

With this thought, a raging fire seemed to ignite in Michael Gordon’s heart, instantly fueling his bad temper!

"What? Speechless? Weren’t you just talking with great enthusiasm?"

Michael Gordon coldly scanned the group, maintaining an ominous, lazy demeanor. His seemingly casual smile concealed a sharp knife, and even though he was enchantingly beautiful, those who saw him could still feel a terrifying chill!

No one in the room dared to answer him nor look him in the eye!

It was obvious that Mr. Gordon had come to settle accounts, and whoever spoke first would become the first target of his fury!

There might still be hope for those who followed, but the first one would be destined for sacrifice!

Seeing that no one in the room dared to speak, Michael Gordon immediately understood. These people could only gossip behind others’ backs and cling to someone they thought was powerful, doing as they pleased. He had already noticed the emergence of such employees in Allure International!

But what he hadn’t expected was that even the Legal Department, where Mrs. Gordon was, had such a large group. What about other departments and companies?

When he thought of how this group had helped Risa Scott’s illegitimate child bully his woman, Michael Gordon’s reason was instantly engulfed by rage!

"You’re not talking, huh?" Michael Gordon coldly nodded, then hooked a finger at the woman who had spoken last. "You... come here!"

The woman’s face turned deathly pale at Michael’s command!

It had been she who had said that Mrs. Gordon looked innocent but was surely wild in bed. She couldn’t muster the confidence to believe that Mr. Gordon had taken a liking to her. The look in his eyes clearly wanted to tear her apart!

With this thought, she instinctively shot Alya a pleading look for help...
