Chapter 756: Chapter 735: If We Can’t Live, Then Let’s Die Together

Michael Gordon raised his eyebrows slightly, his hand habitually slipping into the pocket of his suit. After a brief glance at the two people standing at the doorway of the study, he began, "So, how do you want to deal with the two at the door now?"

"Deal with them however you see fit!"

Calvin Gordon shook his head in some resignation, rubbing his temples, "At this point, I shouldn’t be the one who needs to apologize!"

Before, he owed her, but over the many years, he had paid back whatever he could. As it stands now, the only thing he could do was to not interfere anymore.

"So, you mean to leave them up to me?"

Michael Gordon asked in a rather detached manner, his handsome eyes fixed on him, earnestly awaiting his next words.

"They were captured by you, shouldn’t you deal with them?"

Calvin Gordon remained silent, offering him only a faint glance before quipping, "It’s up to you now. I need to rest."

"Alright!"

Michael Gordon decisively responded, then turned and walked downstairs. Just when he reached the stairway, he turned to command those nearby, "Take good care of my father!"

Having said this, he descended the stairs.

As he was moving down, a third person had joined his company and yet, Michael Gordon seemed unsurprised.

"Mr. Gordon... how do you plan to handle my aunt and Skyler?"

Alya Larson quickly understood the situation as soon as she entered, and she directly asked the question seeing Michael Gordon descend from upstairs. Subconsciously, she was prepared for the worst. After all, such a large event had not left Michael Gordon in a mood to be lenient towards them, that was impossible.

"That’s not your concern!" Michael Gordon didn’t even glance at her as he went to stand in front of Skyler Gordon and Risa Scott. Once positioned, he addressed Alya again, with a single dismissive word, "Scram!"

"Gor..."

Alya Larson wanted to continue, but Risa Scott cut in before she could, "Alya, you have no part to play here anymore. Go back home!"

As if fearing Alya would stay despite her words, Risa Scott swiftly added, "Aren’t you and Sammy supposed to go to the Orchid Kingdom tomorrow? Why are you still here? Go!"

By the end of her words, Risa Scott’s voice had taken a serious tone, and she gave a reprimanding look to Alya. Michael Gordon’s brows furrowed, his intuition hinting there was more to it than meets the eye.

"So eager to send away your daughter, are you afraid she’ll be implicated?" Michael Gordon’s expression was as cold as ice. He looked down at Risa Scott, who was held down, and began in a deliberate tone, "Or was she an accomplice to begin with?"

After such a scandal, anyone could see from Michael Gordon’s attitude that he was preparing to deal harshly with the culprits. Who would dare make a sound now?

The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Michael Gordon’s words landed in such silence and immediately caused a ripple of murmurs. Both Risa Scott and Alya Larson opened their eyes wide in disbelief; their expressions clearly showing doubt at how much Michael Gordon knew.

Risa Scott’s pale lips quivered as she tried to speak, but before she could, Skyler Gordon exploded with fury, "Michael Gordon, you dare spew any more nonsense?! What do you mean by ’mother and daughter’? She’s clearly your fiancée!"

Alya Larson had been close to Skyler Gordon since they were young, even closer than she had been to her own elder brother, Michael Gordon. As such, in Skyler’s mind, Alya, who had been promised to Michael Gordon as a fiancée by Calvin Gordon, wasn’t just his future sister-in-law but also like a real sister. To hear Michael Gordon insinuate that Alya and his mother were in a mother-daughter relationship, it was more than just unacceptable to Skyler, it felt like an insult.

After all, Risa Scott was his mother. To insult his mother by implying that she and the daughter of the Larson family were in a mother-daughter relationship, wasn’t that accusing his mother of having an affair with the dying patriarch of the Larson family?

Whether this was true or not, such a possibility could instantly lead to Calvin Gordon denying Skyler any inheritance. And a flash of memory returned to Skyler from earlier in the study, where Calvin Gordon had declared, ’He’s not my son.’

Skyler Gordon’s face instantly paled, all the color draining from his complexion, leaving him ghostly white!

Could it be...

No, it’s impossible, if he weren’t Calvin Gordon’s son, there would be no reason for him to have been raised and cared for all these years. In a high-class society, there was nothing more feared or despised than betrayal. Calvin Gordon would not have tolerated a woman who betrayed him, thus Skyler was undoubtedly Calvin Gordon’s son!

"My fiancée? Skyler? Or, should I address you as Alya’s Skyler? I am married. I only have a wife, from where would a fiancée appear?" Michael Gordon smirked coldly. Although his words were directed at Skyler, his icy gaze rested on Risa Scott, whose face was pallid with terror. "Risa Scott, you mustn’t have expected that I’d transfer all my company shares to Ivy, right?"

"Don’t think I’m oblivious to what you’ve been up to. Do you really believe that you, with your limited capabilities, stand any chance against me?"

Recently, he’d spent his time either with his pregnant wife Ivy Aretha or dealing with her kidnapping by some people in the Orchid Kingdom, leaving him little time for his company. Although he had dismissed Alya Larson from the company, Skyler remained.

During this period, they’d wrangled quite a bit of wealth and even stole his personal stamp that was authenticated by his unique fingerprint. They were just short of transferring the company shares to their own names. But then they discovered he had no property under his name. That’s why they targeted Calvin Gordon.

The Gordon International Corporation has many operations. The personal stamp with Michael Gordon’s unique fingerprint was usually kept by him himself. However, the suddenness of the situations that Ivy Aretha faced left him no time to secure his stamp, allowing Skyler to take advantage of that oversight.

He only discovered this much later, but thankfully he didn’t have anything under his name anymore. Exploiting his oversight was futile. It turns out, a man who loves his wife can make some small mistakes, because his wife can save him!

Mr. Gordon felt it more reliable to entrust his wife with his valuable properties in future!

"Michael Gordon, I masterminded today’s action, it has nothing to do with Skyler, and especially nothing to do with Alya. Whatever you want to do, do it to me!"

The first to speak amongst the three, after the tense silence had settled, was Risa. In her voice rang a shell of hardened resolve, and it was clear she had already made a significant decision. At this point, extricating herself was impossible. The only thing she could do was try to keep her children from being punished.

"It was I who harbored a murderous grudge against your father. After sacrificing so many years of my youth to serve him dutifully, I was left with nothing. I can’t even secure a comfortable retirement. If I can’t live well, I might as well die with him!"
