Chapter 722: Chapter 701: You’re not as great as my husband.

Rules may be unchanging, but people aren’t. You can’t just kill anyone you want, but it’s easy to fabricate evidence of a crime, especially against someone with their status!

Upon hearing this, Ivy Aretha’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. She probably sensed that something was amiss. She gave the two of them a look and didn’t press them further. If Michael Gordon really showed up, she believed that Spencer Lowe wouldn’t be able to touch him.

"Fine, if you won’t talk, then tell Spencer to come see me. He had the guts to kidnap me, so why doesn’t he have the guts to face me? Isn’t he my cousin? If a cousin can kidnap another cousin, surely they can meet too, right?"

As her words fell, the sound of smashing echoed in the room. Since she couldn’t do anything to them, she could at least break some of their possessions. She had already checked out everything in the room, and it was all valuable. Some were even antiques! She didn’t believe that they wouldn’t be heartbroken if she smashed them all.

Ivy Aretha smashed every breakable item in the room one by one. The two maids didn’t dare to stop her and simply lowered their heads, standing by and watching her destroy one item after another. When Ivy finally finished smashing everything she could, they bent down and silently cleaned up the mess.

"What, you’re too tired to keep smashing? Or do you want your dear cousin to smash the rest for you?"

The door finally opened after she destroyed the last breakable item. Spencer Lowe entered, dressed in a black suit, and swept his gaze over the two cleaning maids before landing it on Ivy Aretha. "What’s with you? With such a big belly, why is your temper still so bad? Aren’t you afraid that you’ll harm my nephew?"

"Nephew?" Hearing this, Ivy Aretha seemed to have heard the biggest joke, lifting her head and staring at him with a cold, mocking tone. "Didn’t you want to become their father? Weren’t you the one who said cousins can marry?"

This man once wanted to have her child aborted to end the previous engagement, and have her become the first lady instead. Ivy Aretha naturally wouldn’t let this opportunity to mock him pass.

"There’s no contradiction between being a nephew and marrying a cousin!"

Feeling amused, Spencer Lowe chuckled and walked over to Ivy Aretha, grabbing her chin. "According to Orchid Kingdom’s law, cousins can marry, and it’s even encouraged. However, genetic research states that children born from close relatives are usually unhealthy. The Orchid Kingdom has produced a lot of fools because there are too many children born from relatives, and their IQs are low. Once I become president, I definitely need to make a breakthrough! Laws are laws, but science is science – we can get married, but not have children. Turning a nephew into a son isn’t a great idea?"

Hehehe...

Ivy Aretha mentally cursed his ancestors eighteen generations but, of course, she didn’t believe it included herself. What kind of country was this, even encouraging incestuous marriages? No wonder presidential candidates were abnormal!

Deep down, Ivy Aretha believed that this country was doomed.

"You’ve admitted that your country’s IQ levels aren’t high. So someone as intelligent and emotionally intelligent as me definitely didn’t come from your country. Bring this ’princess’ and ’cousin’ business to someone else. I’m David Aretha and Luna Cooper’s daughter, my name is Ivy Aretha!"

Stuck in a palace-like asylum, being called a princess and a first lady one moment and the daughter of the Gordon family’s enemy the next, Ivy Aretha would rather side with the Gordons, especially since their grievances had been cleared.

Things were just starting here, and such a chaotic situation was giving her a headache, especially since it was the best time for prenatal education!

"Pfft!"

Hearing Ivy’s words, Spencer Lowe’s cold eyes twitched at the corners before he burst into laughter. "Cousin, if your grandfather heard this, he’d be furious. Years ago, your aunt was the Orchid Kingdom’s genius girl. Such talent shook the world and was the pride of the Orchid Kingdom. How did it get to this point, where you say their IQs are low?"

Saying this, Spencer Lowe felt like he was the one who made the mistake. Yes, it seemed like he was the one who said that there were many fools. Thus, when his words fell, an awkward smile appeared on his face.

"Hehe, I told you your IQs weren’t high. You can’t even remember what you said. Just let me go. If you offend Michael Gordon, it’s only a matter of time before your tiny Orchid Kingdom is finished!"

Ivy Aretha gave him a cold glance, then continued to speak, "It’s wiser to simply send me back before any trouble comes."

"Trouble?" Spencer Lowe chuckled and patted her head, then said with a smile, "Little cousin, you’re too naive. If I were afraid of trouble, I wouldn’t have kidnapped you. And even if you are a source of trouble, it’s already too late for me to send you back!"

Who was Michael Gordon?

Did he think Spencer Lowe didn’t know who he was? He had kidnapped Ivy Aretha, so he naturally wouldn’t let her go. Sending her back would yield the same result as not doing so. He thought he had ten thousand ways to deal with Michael Gordon and to retrieve Ivy Aretha, but he had still underestimated Michael’s strength!

Michael Gordon had once again defied his expectations.

"Too late?"

Ivy Aretha lifted her head, looking at his eyes. Her gaze narrowed, and her pupils constricted. She repeated the two words, as if chewing on them over and over. After a while, she laughed softly, as if she had reached a certainty. "It seems that Michael Gordon has already shown up and has given you some trouble. The trouble you mentioned had to be solved by my husband, right?"

While speaking, a faint smile appeared on Ivy Aretha’s face, and her voice became even more radiant. "Spencer Lowe, I advise you to be wise and not keep struggling. You’re no match for my husband, so it’s better to let me go!"

"Futile struggles only make you look desperate!"

Ivy Aretha had always been sharp-tongued, especially in situations like this. "In your current situation, my husband could take care of you without even lifting a finger. Cut off your economic resources, and within minutes, your civilian life will collapse!"

Orchid Kingdom was a small country, even smaller than Andras City. Its resources weren’t abundant, and it couldn’t be self-sufficient. They relied on foreign trade for basic needs, so economic sanctions were enough to crush such a country. However, Ivy Aretha was confused. If she understood this, then why didn’t the man in front of her?

After all, offending Michael Gordon wouldn’t benefit him in any way!

"Economic sanctions?" Spencer Lowe continued to smile gently at her. "Cousin, has your pregnancy made you stupid? If I have gold, would I still be afraid of not being able to buy anything? Or afraid of economic sanctions? Even if Michael Gordon is powerful, can he control the whole world’s gold trade with the Orchid Kingdom?"
