The CEO's Billion Dollar Bride-Chapter 63 - 64. Her Story
Chapter 63: 64. Her Story
Chapter 63: 64. Her Story
Personal secretary?
Michael Gordon slightly furrowed his brows, the perplexity subtly spreading across his striking brow. After a moment, he finally murmured, “Since when did you become my personal secretary?”
If she was truly his personal secretary, then he wouldn’t have had to sleep on the sofa the night before!
Ivy Aretha: “…”
“Mrs. Gordon is just worried about Mr. Gordon!” Marley Young stepped in to break the tension as Ivy was struggling to come up with a response, “The primary forest over there isn’t so bad, as long as you don’t enter the uninhabited areas, there’s usually no danger!”
Macken Young had been living in this ancient town all along, so he didn’t know much about Michael Gordon’s marital status. Anyway, grandiose marriages of wealthy families were none of his business. He started to address anyone living with him as a respectable ‘madam’!

Sure enough, a glimpse of brightness appeared on Michael Gordon’s gloomy face, “Approved!”
Once they had prepared the necessary expedition gear, the trio ventured into the primary forest. Ivy had never seen a primary forest apart from those in legends. The dense branches were layered to the point they almost completely blocked the direct sunlight.
The vast jungles exuded an original shade of green, packing a punch of wild energy as they stepped in. The crisp air filled their lungs, and the primal wilderness followed. The cold and damp sensation sent shivers down Ivy’s spine.
Suddenly, her legs went weak, and her body leaned forward…
“What’s the matter? Got scared barely after we entered?” Michael Gordon’s deep voice rang out, his hand already stabilizing her waist, “Don’t push yourself if you don’t feel well!”
Michael Gordon said, his gaze fixed on Ivy’s abdomen. His look of concern felt suspiciously charged to Ivy. Remembering last night’s awkwardness, Ivy’s cheeks flushed like blooming clouds!
Macken Young noticed the situation and gave a quiet chuckle. Michael Gordon’s words and Mrs. Gordon’s reactions intrigued him – he wondered how many times they spent their night together that she was now drained!
“Mr. Gordon, what are you doing here?”
Just as Ivy tactfully moved out of Michael Gordon’s embrace due to embarrassment, a sweet and seductive voice drew near. Upon looking up, a gorgeous face met Ivy’s eyes.
It took her three seconds to realize that she was the woman who had flirted with Michael Gordon on the plane. Her name was Karis York, one of the blind date prospects for CEO Gordon!
Michael Gordon glanced at her with a frown, “Since I’m becoming the owner of this land, why do you think we are here?”
Karis York was initially stunned. Realizing that the young Gordon master seemed pretty unsatisfied with her, she felt insulted. He had been cold and distant on the plane, and now, even when she just casually asked him a question, he responded harshly.
The young Gordon master was indeed as heartless as the rumors suggested, especially towards women. He discarded them all, never with a good expression on his face!
“The owner of this land?” Karis York barely recovered from being stepped over, when a delicate male voice interrupted, “Mr. Gordon, are you planning to buy this forest? Unfortunately, I too have intentions of buying it!”
“Senior, how are you here?!” Upon hearing the voice, Ivy looked up in surprise. But wait, he just said he was also interested, “Are you here to examine the primary forest too?”
Mario Jensen stood ahead in his rugged outfit, gracefully studying them with a nonchalant air. He was followed by a few pairs of people, almost all paired as male and female.
Suddenly, Ivy remembered about that upcoming TV show!
By Mario Jensen’s side, Ivy noticed a woman who was as calm as water – Lina Miller. She merely stood quietly next to Mario Jensen, probably paired with him!
“I primarily came to see you. After all, you did promise to meet me today, but you ran off into this beast-infested place with your man!” Mario Jensen casually glanced over Michael’s gloomy face, his gaze finally landed on Ivy’s clear big eyes, “So, thought I’d just bring them along to play!”
Just to play? Behind Mario Jensen, the group was completely baffled, including Karis York. They had risked their lives to participate in the TV show, and Young Master Jensen was saying that he brought them along just for fun?
And it was to see a beautiful woman?
The curious gaze of everyone behind fell simultaneously onto Ivy’s petite, gorgeous face. Who is this female lead? Which mighty family’s unseen heiress could she be?
The rumored billionaire bride of the Gordon family?
Other than Lina Miller, everyone else was not calm, their nosy curious minds flaring!
“So, you’re not from here to snatch this beast-infested place, but to snatch my woman?” Michael Gordon’s handsome face instantly darkened. He was enraged that another man was openly trying to snatch his woman. “From what you said, you’re here to snatch my woman?!”
My woman!!!
My woman!!!
Michael Gordon’s phrase immediately blew people’s minds. Thankfully, those who were invited to participate in this show were carefully selected – apart from A-list celebrities, some were daughters from famous families. No one was gossipy enough to take out their phones. Ivy’s revealed face was safe for now!
“I’m just here to see my junior high school friend. Why must Mr. Gordon be so upset?”
Compared to Michael Gordon’s rage, Mario Jensen seemed much more graceful and composed. After all, he was prepared. His deep gaze unruffled, he fell onto Ivy’s eyes, even making her doubtful for a moment, wondering if this man had once loved her.
“Senior, Mr. Gordon and I are here on a business trip, so I’m sorry that I stood you up!”
Ivy was entirely taken aback by the atmosphere – between two men, one arrogantly cold, the other gracefully reserved, were confronting in this cold place, and she was the object of discussion!
“I’m here now, so you didn’t stood me up. Did you?” Mario Jensen’s gaze, deeply emotion-filled, switched to Michael Gordon before his lips curved into an elegant smile, “This belongs to the Aretha Family, so, I’m ready to help you snatch it back!”
Mario Jensen’s calm voice proudly announced his resolve, as if stating a fact, yet also giving a conclusion!
He originally wanted to tell Ivy when they were to meet on the weekend, only to find Michael Gordon had got the jump on him.
If Michael Gordon could be villainous, so could he be. Once he understood certain things, he would never let them slide again!
He lost to Zach Gilbert once, but this time, he had to win against Michael Gordon, to vindicate the years he spent wandering alone!
Belong to the Aretha family?
Ivy felt heady at his words – This place is related to the Aretha family?
But she couldn’t remember anything, her memories of the Aretha family were a complete blank. The loss of her parents in a car accident struck her at the tender age of ten. After waking up, she knew only her name – Ivy Aretha!
Even the names of her parents were learned from others!
