Chapter 399: Chapter 378: I Spoiled My Wife to Be a Bit Petty
Alya Larson knew that Michael Gordon had always kept his personal and professional lives separate. In the past, the only way to make those women who had been rumored to be with him stop pestering him was money, and no other opportunity was given!
That’s why the social atmosphere at Allure International was so cold, and the celebrities there didn’t dare to have designs on the CEO’s attention!
So this time, she still believed that Michael would keep his public and private life separate, so she spoke so bluntly. In fact, she was gambling, gambling that the stability of Allure International was more important than Ivy Aretha’s accidental injury!
The Legal Department team was already here, and if all of them were expelled, only Ivy Aretha and Sophia Young would be left in Allure International’s Legal Department. Given their level of experience, the workload would definitely cripple their work!
So she gambled that after Michael listened to her words, at most, he would vent his anger and not really do anything to them!
Yet unexpectedly, after Michael heard what she said, the look in his eyes didn’t change much. Only the corners of his lips formed a seemingly pleasant curve!
The image of Sophia Young teasing him and Ivy showing their love and talking about their bedroom skills automatically appeared in his mind, so this woman could still be so lovely when he wasn’t looking!
"Don’t worry, you two, none of you will get away!"
A wanton sneer swept across Michael’s lips, and the voice from his mouth became extremely cold, "I’m not even worried about the future of my company, so how can an outsider like you care so much? Are you really thinking that just because my dad wants you to be the future Mrs. Gordon, you can become her?"
"If that’s the case, then I’m sorry. Since I’m married, I naturally won’t get a divorce. I also advise Miss Larson that it’s better to have some dignity. While you’re willing to be a scumbag woman who interferes with other people’s marriages, I don’t want to become a scumbag man who finds a mistress!"
As the words fell, there was a round of snickers in the room, but no one dared to raise their heads, as they were all still standing by this woman’s side!
Alya’s face was beyond ugly. Her heavily made-up face was completely stiff, as she had gambled that Michael Gordon would make light of the situation, but she didn’t expect it would go in a completely different and worse direction!
The fact proved that she had lost the bet!
For the first time, the invincible Alya lost a gamble to a woman who was less than her in everything except her face!
In Alya’s perception, Ivy was inferior to her in every aspect - birth, education, and ability - with the only exception being her beautiful face, which Alya could admit was better than her own. Therefore, subconsciously, she believed that the reason Ivy was valued by Michael was because of her appearance!
However, beauty alone would not last long, so she dared to gamble, bet that he would tell the truth, but the result was that she forced herself into a humiliating position!
How could she accept this outcome?
"Mr. Gordon misunderstood. I came here simply to fulfill my promise to Chairman Gordon to help Allure International. After all, Allure International is now connected with the world and involves various complex fields. As a legal expert with experience in multiple fields, my expertise is definitely needed by Allure International. As for Chairman Gordon’s intention of considering me as the future wife for the Gordon family, that is just his one-sided kindness, and I didn’t take it to heart. Mr. Gordon must have misunderstood!"
Alya had already said so much that she thought Michael would at least show some mercy, considering Chairman Calvin’s face, and at least spare her a bit of dignity since she didn’t directly attack Ivy!
Moreover, she had already retreated to the bottom line. Although she mentioned Chairman Calvin, she also admitted in her own words that she had nothing to do with the title of Mrs. Gordon, and had no thoughts or expectations about it. She publicly admitted that she was bowing out of the long-awaited position of the Gordon family’s legitimate young mistress!
For Michael, who had been wavering between his wife and father for a long time, this was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity!
However, what she didn’t expect was that when she put her last card on the table, the man didn’t take the bait, but simply took away her last card.
"Since it’s a misunderstanding, then let’s clear it up. Starting today, you should stop working at Allure International, so that people won’t think you’re sticking to it and become my wife’s colleague because you want to find a chance to seduce me!"
Michael looked at her with a half-smile, an attitude of not blaming her for digging her own grave.
"My wife’s tolerance has been spoiled by me recently, and being pregnant, she can’t work for the time being. If you’re still around, she might become suspicious of your intentions towards me, so for the sake of your misunderstanding, my innocence, and my wife, you should leave Allure International. We don’t need any help here!"
Bitter! Very bitter! Extremely bitter!
These words directly crushed her last resort, and this card was also thrown by her!
Trying to take back words now would only expose her hidden ambition that she had been hiding for so long!
When the people around heard these words, their faces changed, astonished. They had been supporting Alya for so long and gambling along with her, but suddenly the referee told them they had bet on the wrong side. One could only imagine their mood!
Alya was about to be kicked out of the company, so it goes without saying that their positions were in jeopardy!
"But I promised Chairman Gordon that I would stay in Allure International to help!"
Alya’s unyielding words exposed her perfectly disguised ambition.
"Allure International is now under my management, Michael Gordon. If you want to help Chairman Gordon, you can go to the Gordon family’s old mansion. Although there’s no shortage of servants or anything, I think they might still need someone like you, who can offer some flattery!"
Michael nodded seriously, "I think you’re quite suitable. My father likes people like you who are cunning on the inside, yet appear obedient on the outside."
"Mr. Gordon, I..."
Alya’s last bit of persistence was shattered by these words, and her low, trembling lips could hardly finish the sentence.
"Anna, go directly to the Human Resources Department on her behalf and take care of the paperwork for her. Then arrange for a driver to take Miss Larson to Gordon Mansion to report the situation to my father first before taking her home!"
Michael didn’t show any mercy to her desperate expression, as she was bound to become a troublemaker for his company if she stayed. Originally, he wanted to observe her for a while longer to see just how long the fox’s tail was.
But now that she has provoked his wife and child, there’s no need to keep her any longer!
He had always prioritized efficiency!
