Chapter 804: Chapter 783 Approaching Delivery!

"Michael Gordon, you... you’re talking nonsense, how could I possibly..."

"Possibly do such a thing?" Before she could finish her sentence, Michael Gordon interrupted and continued, "If you admit to doing such a thing, you wouldn’t be the Alya Larson I know. Seven years ago, you did the same thing, and you didn’t admit it then either, did you? If there’s still a fugitive murderer out there, you’re definitely one of them. Speaking of methods, you really are more ruthless than Brother Dunn. You’re a woman, but what you’ve done is equally vicious!"

Most people, when they want someone dead, they act directly, either hiring a hitman or doing the deed swiftly and firmly themselves, and then tampering with the evidence. Alya Larson, obviously, was more ruthless—staking her own life in the process, and even obfuscating the motive for murder!

Seven years ago?

These three words exploded in Alya Larson’s mind like a thunderclap, leaving her wide eyes unable to close: "Michael Gordon, what are you talking about?"

How could he know about what happened seven years ago? Hadn’t he forgotten?

"What did I say?" Michael Gordon laughed as if he had heard the biggest joke, his laughter dark and unfathomable, but only someone with a guilty conscience would appear so utterly horrified, "Seven years ago, didn’t you also harbor thoughts of killing Ivy? Fortunately, I discovered it early, and you didn’t have the chance to act!"

Indeed, when he discovered her motive, Michael Gordon had said something unforgiving, that was, no matter who made the attempt, if anything happened to Ivy Aretha, he would without fail hold her accountable. In the end, Alya Larson didn’t dare lift a finger, instead she ended up having to protect Ivy secretly.

What kind of man Michael Gordon was, no one knew better than she did. His word was more binding than a royal decree; later, when Michael was stricken with amnesia due to a blow from Ivy, he forgot everything, including Ivy herself. Originally, Alya had wanted to take action, after all, with a bit of scheming, setting up a scene to have a woman with no background killed was just too easy.

But just as she harbored that thought, she found out Ivy had dropped out of school and went abroad. At the time she didn’t understand why, not until they met again, and that’s when she found out—Ivy was pregnant!

But all these were things from seven years ago, so what did Michael Gordon mean by bringing them up today?

"Has your memory recov...ered?"

Even if she didn’t want to admit it, she couldn’t deny it—this might be a fact.

"Of course!"

This time Michael Gordon did not beat around the bush but answered straightforwardly with two words, then raised his wrist to check his watch, "Time is almost up. A moment in the bridal chamber is worth a thousand gold; I don’t have time to let you take a hit here!"

Meaning, you can get lost!

"Michael..."

Alya Larson wanted to say something else, but before even a single address was uttered, the man had cut off her last chance to plead.

"I said I don’t have time to argue with you. That day, when you went with Ivy to sign the contract with Ariana Hunt, and your phone call records with Risa Scott, I’ve already investigated it all. Whatever Risa Scott asked you to do and whatever you actually did, I have all the information in my hands. Just now, when I saw you daring to show up by Ivy’s side, I decided to cancel the opportunity I had originally planned to give you. I’ve handed the materials over to the police. Seven years ago at the vault, even though Ivy was safe by my side, someone still died that day—the truck driver—an innocent person!"

Having been implicated in the death of a person yet showing no remorse, he was right not to be merciful. This kind of woman, seemingly harmless on the surface, was always capable of killing without a trace. Compared to Yuri Sanders, who had no brains, this cunning and scheming woman was even more terrifying!

"The police station should be off-duty now. They’ll see the information I sent when they start work at nine o’clock tomorrow morning!" He finished speaking and glanced at the watch on his wrist before continuing leisurely, "Right now, it’s also nine o’clock, just enough time for a twelve-hour escape. If you can get away to a place not governed by our country’s laws now, then that’s your own ability!"

As soon as Michael Gordon finished speaking, Alya Larson sprung up from the carpet as if startled, staggering as she ran toward the door. The bodyguards at the door wanted to stop her but dared not, looking at Michael Gordon in unison until he shook his head, and then they stepped aside.

Michael could only shake his head with a wry smile. This woman’s reaction was almost exactly as he had imagined, almost a fleeing disaster. No matter when, her own safety always came first. She had charged in earlier like a dutiful daughter, righteously accusing him, but now, when it came to the crimes she committed, she chose to flee without looking back, no longer mentioning her mother and brother!

The so-called family affection and filial obligation, for her, only existed when her own innocence and safety were assured!

At her core, she was a selfish person. Michael Gordon thought they were people from totally different worlds, which was why no matter how the family tried to match them, or how hard she threw herself at him, she could never enter his heart. She simply wasn’t from his world!

Not like his girl, with just one glance, even if he had forgotten the world, forgotten himself, he still remembered her deep in his mind. Even when they met again as strangers, he could still fall in love at first sight, without turning back, knowing it had to be her!

"Wife!"

Michael Gordon felt grateful that after so much time and so many life-and-death experiences, she could still be by his side, his beautiful bride. Perhaps it was because he had confessed his love too many times during the wedding, or perhaps the decoration and music in the bridal chamber were too moving for his heart!

"I love you!"

The expected response of "I love you too" didn’t come. Michael was so startled that he looked down at the woman in his arms, only to be shocked by her ice-cold and terrified expression, turning his own face pale.

"Ivy, what’s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Don’t scare me, alright?"

The doctor had said that the baby was overdue, and could be born at any moment, plus with today’s wedding—she had been through a lot. Although he had tried to minimize it, wherever possible he didn’t let her feet touch the ground!

But she still had to stand for quite a while on stage!

How hard and dangerous it is for a pregnant woman, he hadn’t known when Bella Gordon was pregnant, but this time, he almost experienced it all from start to finish. It wasn’t easy—poor eating, poor sleeping, legs cramping or swelling. A perfectly good woman was being ruined to bear him a child!

In fact, halfway through the pregnancy, Michael Gordon had already regretted letting her go through it again. Actually, having Bianca alone was enough. No wonder many women complain about men who cheat when their wives are pregnant as heartless. Before, he only thought it was a lack of deep love and had nothing to do with the conscience!

But now he knew, it was the naked truth of scum!
