Chapter 800: Chapter 779: Who Gave You the Courage!

Who told her?

Is this even a question? Besides Michael Gordon, who else would have had the chance to touch that ultra-protected belly, more guarded than even pandas? Hearing this comment, Alya Larson’s last string of patience snapped. If Michael knew, then after such a serious accident, Calvin Gordon must know too. Seeing the situation, even Ivy Aretha must have accepted it, probably putting her whole heart and soul into this son!

"Is everything Michael Gordon says definitely true?" Since she was here, she naturally had to try her best. Ivy Aretha was the only person she could now appeal to. It is said that pregnant women have the strongest empathy, "Ivy, talk to Michael about this, after all, Uncle Gordon is fine. One should be forgiving where one can, right?"

Forgiving where one can?

This woman really dared to say such things. What part of her hadn’t been forgiven?

"What do you mean by ’Uncle Gordon is fine, after all’? May I ask, what do you consider ’not fine’? Is it only if someone is dead that it matters?" Ivy Aretha asked coldly, "Isn’t there a price to pay for everything you do, Alya Larson? Hasn’t anyone ever told you that?"

"Moreover, the matters my father-in-law can’t bring himself to speak of and my husband disdains to mention, I will tell you today. Skyler Gordon, he’s your brother, not Michael’s. As a man, my father-in-law has done more than enough by raising a child who has no blood ties to him as his own flesh and blood, until now. He has done no wrong to Risa Scott, nor to Skyler. Their current situation is purely due to their excessive personal desires, coveting too much that belongs to others. It’s evidence of their own wrongdoings, and they can only blame themselves!"

Pausing for a moment, Ivy Aretha continued, "When you make a mistake, you should face the punishment. If making mistakes doesn’t come with a price, would anyone take the act of wrongdoing seriously? Furthermore, Skyler’s crime is no small matter—he killed someone. And the person he killed was the father who raised him up until now. Let him stay in prison and reflect on his actions. Don’t expect me to become a saint just because I’m pregnant and plead on your behalf!"

People who would harm their own kin for some money—if they don’t suffer and learn their lesson inside, once they get out, they’d be a danger to not just themselves, but to society. The last incident with Yuri Sanders happened because she made an appeal, Michael Gordon agreed, and he was released. And what was the result? It nearly cost Lina Miller her life and that of her unborn child. Were it not for the fact that Lina’s baby could not have been born at all, she’d never be able to repay the debt she owed for pleading on behalf of such scum!

She wouldn’t make the same mistake twice, whether for her own sake or for society. She was not going to have a foolish burst of maternal sympathy!

"Ivy Aretha, why do you have to be so heartless?"

Alya Larson didn’t know how to respond to her. The last bit of rationality in her heart was extinguished by worry, "The circumstances of Skyler’s birth are not for you to judge. Saving one life is greater than building a seven-story pagoda. You should consider for your unborn child if not for yourself. Do you want your child to know in the future that their uncle and grandmother were sent to prison by their own father? Are you willing to let them be born into such a cold, loveless family?"

The emotional card is always the most played and the most effective. No matter how tough Ivy Aretha’s heart was, how unlike a woman she was, at least now she was a mother: "The birth of Bianca Aretha without a father already deprived her of a complete family; that’s already a regret. Do you want to continue with such regrets? Allowing your child to be born into a situation where their own family members were sent to prison by their own father—do you want them to bear the burden of their father being such a heartless and ruthless person?"

Indeed, as soon as Alya Larson finished speaking, Ivy Aretha’s previously indifferent demeanor instantly changed. Children are always the most lethal weapon for women, especially for someone like Ivy Aretha, who had had a similar experience in her early years. Providing a healthy, complete family for her children was more important than anything.

Risa Scott and Skyler Gordon, though guilty, are at least members of the Gordon family, only with them is the Gordon family complete, without them the Gordon family is not whole!

Seeing her emoji change entirely, Alya Larson hurriedly seized the moment and said, "Ivy, for just this one thing, please beg Michael. I’ve already consulted about it. As long as he drops the charges, my mom and Skyler will be fine. I promise, just as long as Michael lets my mom go, I will take her away from the Gordon family. We won’t ask for anything; we’ll just quietly leave the Gordon family!"

Ask for nothing?

Ivy Aretha’s eyebrows knitted tightly, after doing such things, did they still have the right to want anything?

However, her words had indeed made Ivy hesitate. Ivy Aretha’s hand gently caressed the fiery red dress with its pronouncedly swollen belly, a myriad of emotions rushing through her mind. Indeed, when Bianca Aretha was born, only Sienna Harrison was by her side, without a father, nor grandparents, and certainly no maternal grandparents.

Such a scenario gave rise to the feeling that life was lonely. Therefore, she hoped that when the two children in her belly were born, their home would be whole, at least everyone who should be there would be present: dad, mom, grandpa, grandma, uncles, and aunts. Risa Scott failed in her parental duties, and Skyler Gordon lacked respect for his elders.

But in the end, they were once part of the Gordon family, having once formed a home with Michael Gordon and Calvin Gordon. Ivy Aretha was just about to say that she would relay the message exactly as it was to Michael Gordon, and that what to do next would still be up to him. However, before she could open her mouth, a cold, stern voice from outside abruptly interrupted her!

"Who gave you the audacity to let people in, disturbing Mrs. Gordon’s rest?!"

The man’s presence hadn’t yet appeared, but the chill in his voice was enough to tell how foul his mood was at the moment!

"I’m sorry, Mr. Gordon!"

Before Ivy Aretha could say anything, a group of people were already apologizing. Shortly thereafter, Ivy Aretha saw the familiar tall figure of the man, bowed to by others as he strode in through the door, with the red-embedded door being opened and then closed!

"Wife, have you gone daft with happiness? You dare to let such wolves in?" As he spoke, Michael Gordon was already walking towards Ivy Aretha, not even glancing at Alya Larson as he passed her, and directly sat down beside the bed where Ivy Aretha was sitting, then enveloped the woman in his embrace!

Today Michael Gordon was dressed in a white dress, giving his entire appearance an even more dashing and handsome charm, not losing an ounce of elegant demeanor. No matter how one looked at it, he appeared like a prince from a fairy tale. This man was indeed a prince, but he was Ivy Aretha’s prince alone, her sole white horse.

Yet she would never have this chance; it was so seven years ago, six years later, and it still was seven years later. He never gave her a chance, not even after she had exhausted all schemes. The man had never once looked at her, was this what they called no feelings?

But now, let alone feelings, he hadn’t even given her a chance to beg for mercy, forcing her to seek out Ivy Aretha; with the current situation emerging, it was clear that the result of all her recent efforts to persuade Ivy Aretha was... all for naught!
