Chapter 750: Chapter 729: Okay, I’ll go back and stand up right away!

As for the Orchid Kingdom matter, Ivy Aretha didn’t pay too much attention to it, but Michael Gordon did help her find out the truth: she is the lost princess of Orchid Kingdom.

Years ago, the kingdom experienced a palace coup, and Princess Ruby Ross fled to Andras City, where she fell in love with a local man. One thing led to another and they had a child.

After the coup, she didn’t want to go back, but after giving birth to Ivy, she was discovered by people from the Orchid Kingdom’s court, who secretly took her back. By the time she escaped again, her husband had disappeared without a trace. Some say he died, others that he ran off with another woman. Their newborn child was also dead. Eventually, it was rumored that she had gone mad and committed suicide by jumping off a cliff when the people from Orchid Kingdom found her again.

Since then, the stunning beauty of Orchid Kingdom vanished from the public eye. When the news about her death emerged, it shook the whole world. Although the Orchid Kingdom is small, Ruby Ross was an extraordinary person who could impact the world.

Her death caused quite a stir, and her tragic love story was adapted into numerous movie versions by different film companies. Ivy had only heard about this character before, sighing at the fate of the beauties back then. Now that she knows the woman was her mother, her feelings are even more complex.

Michael Gordon was worried as she was sullen all day long and had a big belly; he tried everything he could think of to improve her mood. He originally intended to call Sienna Harrison to accompany her, but Ivy disagreed, fearing that her mood would affect Sienna’s, especially since she was only three months pregnant. Moreover, this time Jaysen Smith seemed to carry a notebook with him all the time, following Sienna closely and even mobilizing a large number of people to serve her round-the-clock.

News about Lady Jaysen Smith’s pregnancy dominated the headlines of Allure International daily, becoming the highest standard of happiness indicator for all women in Andras City. The wealthy Smith family had many daughters who wanted to marry into it, and everyone thought that the treatment would be downgraded after losing a child. Even Caleb Harrison, the head of the Harrison family, began to worry at that time.

But what no one expected was that the wedding, which was postponed due to the miscarriage from the car accident, turned out to be a worldwide sensation. The groom openly confessed at the wedding that he had loved her since childhood and wanted to marry her. The meaning was very clear: he would marry no one else but her, even saying that marrying her would leave him with no regrets.

Fiona Reed, who usually avoids the media, had sent a message to the media before the wedding, saying that Sienna was the daughter-in-law she had been looking for. The loss of their son was their son’s fault as a man who had failed to protect his wife. She promised to make amends in the future.

She also declared that Sienna had already been made a shareholder of the Smith Group, and that the matter of having children was up to Sienna. It didn’t matter when or how many children she had; what mattered to them was Sienna as a person, not a child-bearing machine.

But that was not the point; the point was that besides the dowry from the husband’s family, the betrothal gift from the wife’s family also dazzled everyone’s eyes. Caleb Harrison transferred the entire Harrison Group to Sienna’s name, making her, a woman who never worked, the richest woman in Andras City overnight as she held shares in both companies.

However, that was before. While everyone else envied Sienna, Allure International’s media department released even more blood-boiling news: the richest woman in Andras City has changed, and this change led to a new world-famous figure – the richest person in Andras City turned out to be the Gordon family. In contrast, Allure International fell into chaos overnight. Still, surprisingly, Michael Gordon remained calm and accompanied his wife every day.

"Michael, everything is so chaotic right now, how can you stay at home?"

Ivy looked at the man who was helping her massage her slightly swollen legs and asked with concern, "Aren’t you afraid your father will strangle you?"

Although Calvin Gordon no longer staunchly opposes their relationship as before, Ivy still had her doubts about his thoughts since he had not expressed any opinions since their wedding.

She knew she was not Luna Cooper’s biological daughter, but being a foster daughter still mattered a lot, right? The gratitude for upbringing could rival the devotion of biological parents, so Ivy was unsure what Calvin Gordon really thought.

Despite Michael Gordon giving her everything he could, she wanted Calvin’s approval even more, especially when she saw how Sienna and Lina Miller were warmly welcomed by their mothers-in-law. Ivy longed for Calvin to accept her from the bottom of his heart.

"You don’t know about the saying ’a grown son’s wings become hard, and he becomes uncontrollable’?" Mr. Gordon replied with a flattering smile. "Now, I can only be controlled by my wife, no one else!"

Ivy: "..."

"Michael Gordon, aren’t you afraid that your father will hear those outrageous words and punish you?"

"As long as my wife is happy, let my father punish me if he wants!"

Michael knew that if Calvin wanted to punish him, he wouldn’t wait until now.

As he had this thought, Michael’s phone rang, and when he squinted his eyes to check the call, he found it was from the Gordon family mansion.

Michael’s brows furrowed, and an ominous feeling came over him as he answered the call. From the other end, a servant’s hushed voice filled with fear and panic came through: "Young Master, please come back quickly. The Master has had a heart attack, and he’s in the study room right now. I heard little Young Master say that if he doesn’t get the shares, he won’t call the doctor. I snuck out to call you; I’m afraid something will happen to the Master. Please come back, Young Master!"

Upon hearing this, Michael’s face paled, and his entire body tensed up: "Listen, Sister Orchid, stay put downstairs and don’t make a sound. Do not let them know you called me. I’ll be back in fifteen minutes, just hold on!"

"Alright, I’ll go back and stand by immediately!"

The servant was an old servant of the Gordon family, and she was still loyal to her master. However, as Calvin’s health declined and Michael stayed away from home for most of the time, Risa Scott had gradually taken control of the household, and her word became law.

So the incident between the two in the study room was not noticed by anyone. Sister Orchid happened to pass by and heard Calvin’s furious tone, thinking that Skyler was planning to do something despicable.
