Chapter 418: Chapter 397: That’s the Most Beloved Scorpion Beauty of Men!
The news spread throughout Allure International, and the identity of Ivy Aretha as Mrs. Gordon went viral on the internet. Gossip posts on the forums were dug up and pinned to the homepage!
The name Ivy Aretha instantly became popular throughout Andras City, and many media outlets began to secretly pay attention to her. This woman, who had never shown her face in any media before, had disrupted the entire Gordon family and had even captivated the flirtatious CEO Gordon.
Because her forehead would take at least a month to heal before she could wear makeup normally, their wedding photos scheduled for the weekend had to be postponed.
Ever since Ivy became pregnant, Michael Gordon hasn’t allowed her to go to work. The family added two more nannies, and although Julie Harrison was still a nanny hired by Ivy, their relationship hadn’t changed due to her being Oliver Thompson’s wife.
But everyone knew that this nanny was just for show in the Gordon family. They couldn’t treat her as a real nanny. Behind the scenes, they had to arrange for her to be served by another nanny. Although it was not explicitly stated, Michael was well aware of the situation.
His worthless brother cherished her in his heart!
He had to feed someone else’s wife without the respect she deserved!
Julie Harrison had nowhere else to go but Michael Gordon’s home. She tried to find a job on her own but was unsuccessful. Every month, her bank account received a large sum of money from Oliver Thompson.
She wanted to use the money to buy a house and move out with her son, but no one would sell her a house once they heard her name.
She couldn’t use the money for anything other than squandering, and ultimately had no choice but to continue living with Ivy Aretha, who treated her well, and their children got along happily.
But living off a man’s money without knowing the reason made her uncomfortable. Her mind couldn’t help but wander when she closed her eyes, picturing the satisfied face of the man on top of another woman.
She wondered if he was doing the same with that woman, the one he had loved since childhood.
What did that make her?
An old lover being kept in someone else’s home?
Or an old lover who had married and had a child with him?
One night, when she couldn’t help it anymore, she dialed his number, regretting the decision as she did. Just as she was about to hang up, the call was answered. A familiar female voice at the other end asked, "Hello, who are you looking for?"
Julie’s heart sank, and she felt paralyzed by the realization that she was hearing the voice of the woman who had ruined her family. The man was still with her, even late at night!
"I’m looking for the owner of this phone!" Julie said, her voice trembling. She recalled the man begging her to come back, even offering his life to atone for her father’s death.
Now, in the middle of the night, the two were entwined again?
At nighttime, a woman answering a man’s phone was a sign that there must be something going on between them. Julie refused to believe otherwise.
She knew what kind of woman that was, and she knew she was capable of randomly answering calls and provoking others. After all, plenty of other women had called her and insulted her in the past, even using public phones to harass her.
But using Oliver Thompson’s phone? That had never happened before!
He cherished his phone and never let anyone touch it, not even his son.
No one had ever dared to, or been allowed to, answer his phone.
And now...
Julie’s heart was filled with turmoil!
Had she been too naive?
To have almost believed that he was sincere in his words over these days, and to have already forgiven him in her heart!
While her family had been ruined by him, she understood that they owed him as well. But upon hearing the phone call, she suddenly realized!
Her so-called intelligence had always been so low, to the point that she had almost believed him. She had wasted her years, with no growth in her intelligence!
What a fool she was!
"You’re looking for Oliver, right?" The woman on the other end of the phone asked with a hint of laughter and a touch of triumph. "You must be Miss Harrison. He’s taking a shower. Do you want me to ask if he wants to take your call?"
Julie’s heart went empty, and her mind went blank. She didn’t know how to respond, how to find her lost dignity, when she heard the woman’s crisp voice on the other end knocking on the bathroom glass door and pulling the curtain open.
"Oliver, it’s Miss Harrison’s call. Do you want to answer it?"
Her clear and soft voice was bewitchingly charming – a true femme fatale!
Julie suddenly felt ridiculous for having such expectations after so many years!
She couldn’t hear the woman’s next words, her mind blank and consumed by a sense of desolation.
Not until the woman’s arrogant and provocative words reached her ears did she awaken from her stupor.
"Well, Oliver said, since you’ve already left, you two don’t have a relationship anymore!"
