Chapter 799: Chapter 778 The Duel of the Bridal Chamber

"Indeed she’s a woman spoilt by Michael Gordon!"

Alya Larson sneered coldly, her bloodthirsty smile mixed with chilling frost.

"Yes, being spoilt by a man is certainly better than not having any man willing to spoil you at all, isn’t it?" So much beating around the bush and still no point made, she really had no patience, "Alya Larson, if you have something to say, say it quickly. If not, get lost!"

She really thought she could come here and play psychological games? How naive!

As soon as Ivy Aretha finished her words, she signaled to someone beside her. Her gesture was clear—if Alya didn’t speak up, they would simply drag her out!

Alya Larson smiled faintly upon seeing this. This woman indeed had the air of a born lady. That posture, even her, with her innately imposing presence, couldn’t emulate such a free and noble demeanor. With just one gesture, she made her, a young lady who grew up in luxury, seem like a woman as lowly as dust!

It was Ivy who grew up in the orphanage, while she herself was brought up in finery and good nurture. Why did it seem Ivy won at their very first encounter? Was it because she was born of royal blood?

The genes of a Princess of Orchid Kingdom seem to have a brilliance that not even the experiences of a Cinderella can obscure. Are genes really that important?

Alya Larson paused for three seconds, then looked at Ivy Aretha with a light smile, gesturing her not to rush in sending people away. When Ivy looked up at her, Alya Larson spoke leisurely. This time, she opted for a direct approach, no more implied meanings, "Risa Scott is my mother, I believe you already know. She is currently locked up in the police station, and you are the only one who can get her out!"

Hah!

So, that was what this was about!

She expected her to play the saint!

Unfortunately, she was not born with such temperament!

"Your mother doesn’t seem to have been locked up by me, right? Besides, I don’t know anyone in the police station. Are you asking me to beg Michael Gordon? Where do you get the courage and confidence to think I would agree to such a shameless request?"

What a joke. Risa Scott didn’t even spare her own husband, and getting locked up is her punishment for her foolish actions. It’s only fair. Speaking of which, she deserves it. Why should she plead for leniency?

"The wrongdoer was Skyler Gordon, Michael Gordon’s brother. Why should my mother take the fall for him?!" That Ivy Aretha wouldn’t agree came as no surprise to Alya Larson. This woman was more difficult to deal with than she had imagined—not naive and sweet, nor overflowing with sympathy. Getting her to nod in agreement was very hard, yet behind this woman stood the unshakable overlord of Andras City.

And she needed to save her own mother, which required asking for her help!

Although meeting her was not easy, meeting Michael Gordon was even harder. Her mother was already getting on in years and couldn’t withstand the hardships of prison, whereas it was different for Skyler Gordon. He could fare well even if locked up for a few years, as long as she was around.

So, what she could do now was to get her mother out first!

Having one person locked up was certainly better than both being imprisoned, after all. And Risa Scott could at most be an accessory to the crime, for she hadn’t done anything—Skyler Gordon was the one who made the mistake!

"Ivy Aretha, ’a son’s failure is the father’s fault,’ as the saying goes. If Skyler Gordon could one day turn his schemes to his own father, it simply indicates that Uncle Gordon’s education was lacking and the Gordon family is indeed responsible. Now that Uncle Gordon is unharmed, Mr. Gordon, you can’t possibly send your own brother to the police station, can you?"

Ha!

The person who could even bring themselves to fatally harm their own father actually had the audacity to blame it on Calvin Gordon?

"’A son’s failure is the father’s fault’?"

Ivy Aretha looked at her as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world, a faint smile playing on her lips, a mocking curve that carved a beautiful gash, "Miss Larson is right. When a son commits such a grave mistake, it is indeed the father’s responsibility to answer for it. However, it has nothing to do with my father-in-law; you should be looking at your father, Terry Larson. He should take responsibility for his own son!"

Terry Larson?

Alya Larson took a big step back in shock, her legs went weak and she staggered, nearly falling to the ground, but she quickly steadied herself with a chair nearby, barely preventing herself from falling.

The fact that Skyler Gordon was the son of Terry Larson and Risa Scott was something no one knew about, including Calvin Gordon. How did Ivy know?

Skyler Gordon had made such a big mistake, nearly costing Calvin Gordon his life. Since Calvin didn’t die, at least Skyler’s situation wouldn’t be too severe. Once Calvin calmed down, she could just plead with him and it would be alright. But if he found out that this son he had doted on for so many years wasn’t his own flesh and blood and even wanted his life—

That situation would become much more serious!

No, no, no, Ivy Aretha must be talking nonsense; she certainly didn’t know!

She was only probing her to see her reaction. At this moment, she absolutely couldn’t reveal herself; otherwise, not only would her brother be beyond saving, her mother would also be doomed. To be cuckolded is something no man could bear, let alone for Calvin Gordon, who had a son like Michael Gordon that he disliked in every way!

"Ivy Aretha, one can eat recklessly but should not speak carelessly. What you’re implying is that you’re putting a green hat on Uncle Gordon! Yes, I am my mother’s daughter, but that was all before she married Uncle Gordon. It doesn’t count. Before marrying my mother, Uncle Gordon even had Michael Gordon. We are all equally guilty in that regard! To place the blame for the second Young Master Gordon on my father is not a game!"

"Playing a game? Alya Larson, do you think I have the time to play games with you? Do I look like I have nothing better to do?"

Even with the cat out of the bag, she still vehemently denied Skyler Gordon’s paternity. Ivy really was astounded by her audacity, thinking Calvin Gordon was a fool. "My father-in-law might be somewhat muddled, but he is not stupid. He knows very well who his sons are and who is not. What’s the use of telling me all this? Do I care? I don’t even care whether Michael is my father-in-law’s son or not!"

For her, as long as he is Michael Gordon, the one who loves her and whom she also loves, that’s all that matters to her!

As for whose son he is and his net worth, none of that concerns her, let alone Skyler Gordon. Since this woman wants to save her brother by using her and bringing up the father-son relationship, treating her family like fools, then she shouldn’t be too polite, should she!

"You..."

Alya Larson was left speechless by her retort, not knowing what to say.

"No more ’you’ and ’me.’ If I, someone who doesn’t care, knows who Skyler Gordon’s father is, wouldn’t my father-in-law know?" Ivy Aretha said with disdain, shaking her head, "I know who Skyler Gordon’s child is; who do you think told me?"
