###Chapter 515 Everything You Gain, You Lose More – Part 3

Looking at his handsome face, I didn't know what he was going to do next. I nodded slightly and smiled and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Astley?"

He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "As we all know, Preston's main business over the years is oil and jade, while the Astley's tender this time is AI cooperation. We can't deny the perfection of your project, but perfection does not mean it is applicable. You do not have AI experience at this point. If we cooperate later, do you think things can go smoothly?"

I thought about this problem beforehand, and said after a pause, "Like Mr. Astley, we discussed this problem in advance, and finally, we also set up a solution. Mr. Astley, you can take a look at it."

Instead of reaching for it, he glanced sideways at Felix Stewart who was beside him. Felix Stewart took it and looked at me, with some hesitation in his eyes.

I thought he would not ask again after asking these questions, but he suddenly opened his mouth and looked at me, and said, "Miss Ivelle, if I remember correctly, you should have been Astley's project director. Do you remember the reason why you left Astley?"

I froze. I never thought he would ask about this. Without waiting for me to answer, he looked at William Preston off the stage and suddenly smiled and said, "Does even Mr. Preston know about Miss Ivelle's past?"

How could I possibly know?

When I left Astley, although I took the blame, he closed all the news and knew that there were very few people at all.

He asked William Preston at this time, there is no doubt that he wanted to humiliate me and embarrass me in front of the people who attended this year's event.

Preston looked at me deeply and then said faintly, "Everyone has his own past. I don't know what happened to her, but at least I know that now she is a very good person. Mr. Astley, you also have a past, don't you?"

William Preston is avoiding the important points and taking the light seriously.

Jordan smiled lightly, "Mr. Preston really sees through, but we can't deny that a person's past will affect her future. When Astley chooses a partner, he not only considers the strength but also cares more about the quality of the other party."

The appearance of what he said made a lot of people reverie and speculate about the experience that I had been fired from Astley's work.

Inevitably, there was a sound of discussion, and some even started a round of Jordan's attitude at this time. Is it because of the relationship between the three of us that our ability is not simply a working relationship?

People don't want to stand on the stage for a round, let alone on such an occasion.

I looked at Jordan and said, "If Mr. Astley questions his loyalty and quality, I will give this project to other Mu employees to follow up. Mr. Astley doesn't have to worry about it."

He frowned slightly, obviously displeased, and his indifferent eyes fell on me, with a bit of coldness. "No, it's good to leave this project to you!"

Then he took a look at Felix Stewart and he left, leaving everyone a little dumbfounded.

When he returned to his seat, William Preston said faintly, "It looks like there's been a fight."

I folded my lips as he threw the document in my hand. "If you don't speak, no one will treat you like a mute."

He raised his eyebrows. "Why are you so angry?" It is you who are avoiding him, and you are the one who pushes him away. A man's dignity and tolerance have been given to you. What are you angry about?"

I suddenly stood up, didn't want to talk to him, and said, "The bidding is over. I have something to do. I'll go first."

I know it's all my fault, but there are a lot of people who did it knowingly. Besides, without me, Jordan would be better off.

When I got out of the bidding hall, my heart was so blocked that I found a place to get some air, and I was very upset.

"Miss Ivelle!" There was a voice behind him. It was Felix Stewart.

I looked at him, nodded, and smiled, "Hello, Mr. Stewart."

"Miss Ivelle, Blossom has been taken back to the villa by your husband. Everything is fine, but you will always be asked where you have been." He spoke in a shallow voice but seemed to make a living with me.

I thought he would be talking about Jordan, but I didn't think he would mention Blossom.

Slightly frozen, cannot help sighing, cannot help but ask him, "How is Blossom?"

He nodded and said, "It is always pestering Mr. Astley to ask you where you have been at night!"

I pursed my lips, feeling a little astringent. I paused and said, "Thank you for letting me know, Mr. Stewart!"

He shook his head faintly and said, "I don't understand. You and Mr. Astley love each other in your hearts. In that case, why do you always push him away?"

"Because he deserves better than me." I simply answered.

He frowned. "What is better? Feelings, this kind of thing, is about the hearts of the people. when did it become a matching game?"

Looking up at Felix Stewart, I gasped slightly and said, "Mr. Stewart, most of the time, everyone habitually thinks that since they are in love, they should be together, but no one has ever thought about it. If everyone cares about each other, how to actually deal with it?"

"At that time, I knew that he had designed me and my parents to become enemies by mistake. Mother and daughter hurt each other and had their own grudges. Later, when I left with Blossom, I was just afraid of staying with him. I would be embarrassed to collapse by resentment and love. It took me four years to let it go, but in the end, it was still all in vain."

"Back in the capital, I have always thought that I can let go of everything because of love, then I can live a good life with Jordan in the future. I want Erin and I to love each other and rely on each other like all mothers and daughters usually do. But I saw Erin's carefulness and Mr. Preston's concession. I was still distressed. I had seen them love Nicole, provided her pure protection, but when it came to me, they all became cautious. In fact, I know it's not their fault, it's just it's all fated to happen."

Looking at Felix Stewart, I smiled bitterly. "Staying with Jordan means that I have to endure inner sufferings and contradictions all my life. I am a timid person, and I am afraid and do not want to upset the balance casually."

He was a little distracted and sighed, "But I also want to tell you that Mr. Astley, he's already trying to do his best."

I nodded and smiled. "I know he's always been fine, so I can rest assured that I give him Blossom."

"Miss Ivelleis going to keep Mr. Astley with Blossom all the time?"

I shook my head. "I will pick up Blossom as soon as possible. I won't bother him for long. After all, he has no obligation to Blossom."

"And who has the obligation?" The sudden sound stunned me for a moment.

When I looked back, it was Jordan. His face was gloomy and his eyes were dark and cold. "So William Preston has the obligation to take care of her? Or can you find another man to take care of her?"

His sudden appearance made me a little confused. Seeing this, Felix Stewart left silently.

Leave me and Jordan, for a moment I have nothing to say.

After a pause, I said, "Jordan, thank you for taking care of Blossom."

He looked at me and sneered, "You don't have to say thank you, Ivelle, don't forget, in the legal account, Blossom is my daughter. Once we dissolve the marriage, I can give you financial compensation, but Blossom will be forever mine, and I will never give her to you."
