The CEO’s Billion Dollar Bride

Chapter 28: 29、Always one step behind Chapter 28: 29、Always one step behind “I am Little Bunny’s darling! As for Ivy Aretha’s threat, the little one is not taking it seriously. “Mommy, that handsome leader of yours looks so handsome, it would be great if he were my daddy, it would give me so much face!”

Face?

Ivy was speechless. It turned out that the little one was attracted to Michael Gordon’s appearance?

Really like father like daughter! Both had the same taste in attractiveness!

Ivy was very worried. She was so young and already knew to look for handsome guys. Ivy had already begun to worry about her daughter’s future.

“Baby, looks won’t feed us. Mommy thinks it’s better to find a man who is good to both mommy and you. What do you think?”

Ivy felt it necessary to adjust her daughter’s worldview.

After listening to Ivy’s words, the little one shook her head and thought what her mommy said made sense.

Just as Ivy sighed with relief, the cute voice of the little girl rang out again, “Handsome doesn’t put food on the table, but being unattractive makes it difficult to eat. So, baby thinks mommy should still find a better-looking daddy for me!”

Ivy instantly felt she had wasted her breath. This little one was quite persuasive, and a little too picky. She thought she would have no trouble flirting with men when she grows up.

Whose genes did she inherit for this?

Ivy’s thoughts were interrupted when Michael Gordon’s face, with its flirtatious and frivolous expression, kept appearing in her mind. The similarities were uncanny, especially that wicked smile.

“Bianca, shut your mouth! What nonsense are you thinking about at such a young age!”

Ivy was completely enraged, picking up her daughter and throwing her into bed, “Go to sleep, or I will not let you play the computer or games tomorrow!”

Ivy’s life philosophy was simple: if she couldn’t win a verbal argument, she would resort to physical force and threats. Bianca loved playing games online; as soon as she heard she would not be allowed to play, her chattering mouth fell silent.

After Ivy took a shower, she came back to find the little girl sleeping soundly, with Ivy’s clean pajamas thoughtfully placed at the edge of the bed.

Looking at the pajamas and then at her sleeping daughter, Ivy’s heart softened. Her mood, which had been disturbed earlier in the evening, was instantly healed by her daughter’s thoughtful care.

For her daughter, she had to be strong. She would have to work harder and be more resilient to take care of her baby. Today was just the first step, the difficulties had only just begun.

“Ivy Aretha, for your baby, come on!”

The next day, when she arrived at the company, she was dragged to her office by Sophia Young before she could even step inside.

“Dearie, how do you feel about attending the banquet with the CEO last night?”

Sophia looked at her enviously, waiting for her to spill the gossip.

“How else could it be? It’s just a bunch of women acting in front of their boss.”

Ivy was telling the truth. The purpose of the celebrity intention signing party was for leaders in the entertainment industry to understand the stars they wanted to work with. This understanding was all about their image at the party.

For these kinds of events, image was everything—it was all about performance. Perform well, capture the leaders’ attention, and you would make it. If not, there would always be the next audition.

“Oh girl, listen to your tone. It sounds like everyone in the office shares the same attitude. That’s not the attitude a young girl like us should have. Be more positive!”

Sophia pushed Ivy and took a newspaper out of her drawer. As she flipped through it, she asked, “Ivy, I heard a rumor that Mr. Gordon wants to sign Jillian Garrett? If that’s true, there’s bound to be some drama!”

Huh?

“Who is Jillian Garrett?”

Ivy was unfamiliar with the names in the entertainment industry and had no impression of them at all.

“My goodness, she’s already been in the headlines with Mr. Gordon, and you don’t even know her!”

Sophia gave up on Ivy and deftly flipped to the first page of the newspaper, “Jillian Garrett is her!”

Following Sophia’s direction, Ivy’s eyes were drawn to the ‘Today’s Headlines’ section. A row of bold headlines caught her attention.

“Young Master Gordon’s new love is a successful actress—Allure International’s own Michael Gordon and new Golden Horse Best Actress Jillian Garrett appeared together at a banquet, sparking collaboration rumors. The two were seen being very intimate throughout the evening…”
After the headline was a row of text; Ivy didn’t even bother to read the rest. Her mind was in a haze, and her gaze was deeply drawn to the photo on the side.

In the photo, Michael Gordon held a wine glass and clinked it with a beautiful woman next to him. There were several people crowded around them; it was obvious that these people were egging them on.

A man and a woman clinking glasses in public would undoubtedly ignite gossip, regardless of their social status.

In the photo, Michael Gordon was elegantly dressed in a white tailcoat, looking tall and handsome. His refined and noble demeanor was reminiscent of a prince from a fairy tale.

Jillian Garrett, dressed in a revealing purple dress, showed off the enchanting beauty of a woman. Especially her eye-catching cleavage, which looked like at least a 36D.

The two of them clinked their glasses, smiling at each other. Their intimate glances were enough to make onlookers swoon.

No wonder Ivy was thrown to the crazy women last night to take care of. It turned out that Michael’s target was this enchanting beauty. Ivy recalled Michael’s words from last night: “With your qualifications, do you even think of being on the headlines with me?”

So, in his eyes, only a woman like this was worthy of standing with him in the media spotlight. While for her, her worth was in solving problems.

At this moment, a wave of bitterness washed over Ivy like a mouthful of immature fruit, sour and bitter.

For a long while, Ivy’s gaze lingered on Jillian Garrett’s alluring figure, and she couldn’t help but feel envious. After a moment, she sighed,
“So this is Jillian Garrett, she’s so sexy!”

“Sexy my ass, she’s just a busty woman! I can definitely tell they’re either fake or she’s wearing nipple pads. My eyes tell me it’s the latter!” Sophia spoke with experience.

“You can tell just by looking? I don’t believe it!” Ivy was astonished; from a single distant photo in the newspaper, Sophia could tell she was wearing nipple pads?

“I don’t need to look, I just guessed. I ran into her last week. She was wearing casual clothes, and her chest was so small that the bra couldn’t even support it. In just one week, even with plastic surgery, it wouldn’t be that quick. So I know without a doubt that she’s wearing nipple pads!”

“Oh my God, the effect of the nipple pads is really good. I can’t even tell they’re not real!” Ivy sighed again, “It’s so perfect!”

“Perfect, my foot! You can’t tell from the newspaper, but if you were standing in front of her, you’d definitely see. If you don’t believe me, ask Mr. Gordon. He must have seen it at a glance!”
