Chapter 22
Speaking of putting someone off, when he thought of Pierre accompanying Ivy around the old city, would that not put Logan off?
The thought of that pissing Logan off made him very happy.
Today was another day to take the piss out of Logan.
Ivy had agreed to meet Pierre, so she personally went to pick Pierre up from his home.
“What fortune for you to come and pick me up. I have no need to drive,” Pierre joked.
“I’m a much better driver than you. I’m good-“As she was about to continue boasting, Pierre suddenly interrupted her.
He smiled and said, “At rolling over?”
Ivy immediately choked on her words. “Who never had screw–ups before?”
Rolling over is nothing. You crying in the car, now that’s kind of interesting.”
“Shut up.” Ivy was speechless.
At the mention of cars, Ivy asked, “I have nothing much to give you now that you’re back. How about I give you a car?”
Give him a car?
Pierre smiled. “Are you giving me a car to send me away?”
Ivy spat back. “Should I leave then?”
The two laughed at the same time.
It was still fun with Ivy. She could take any jab he threw at her.
“Sure, give me a car then. I did bring you a gift after all.” Neither of them lacked money, so any gift was simply for smiles and giggles.
Ivy drove the car directly to the car dealership.
When they got out of the car, Andrew Harper spotted them.
He saw a man come out from the co–driver seat in Ivy’s car, a good–looking man.
Hiss… A pretty boy?
This…
He immediately called Logan and said, “Logie, guess who I spy?”
“How would I know?”
“It’s Ivy, and there’s another man coming out from her car’s co–driver seat. He’s a good–looking guy, very fair. They’re at the car dealership now.” He had tried to give Logan his best hint, hoping that he would realize that Ivy might have been keeping a pretty boy.
Logan immediately erupted as he lost all mood to work. He instantly asked where she was right then and quickly rushed over.
Ivy was sull looking at the car. She sat idly as she watched Pierre choose his preferred car. When Andrew saw the scene from not too far away, he felt that Pierre was the pretty boy whom Ivy had been keeping.
“I think this black one suits you well. It’s low–key yet still opulent.” Ivy got up and pointed at a black Bentley.
Pierre smiled at her. “It happens to be the one I want. This one then.”
As she said that, Ivy proceeded to pay for the car straight away, and it would be delivered directly to Pierre’s house on another day.

“Maybe you’ve seen him in a gigolo joint before?” Logan said gloomily.

Henry spat back. “Bullsh*t. I’m straighter than your spine. Why would I go to a place like that?”
“He looks familiar, but I can’t put my finger on where.” He finally shook his head.
Seeing that they were joking and fooling around, Logan could no longer hold it in and immediately pushed the door, entering the
restaurant.
Andrew and Henry swiftly followed him from behind. Their good buddy here also used to be a decent person.
Ivy took a glance at who had come through the door. It was Logan a

Logan sat down at the next table as Henry and Andrew took their seats as well.
Henry then started to look at Pierre again until he saw Ivy’s eyes. He then slowly looked away. He dared not look at Ivy. Never, ever…
“The ex–husband and the new beau, and it’s the new beau’s complete victory,”
Logan clenched his fist and hissed. “He’s just a gigolo, what new beau.”
That somehow entered Pierre’s ears as the edge of his lips rose.
Ivy instantly went, “Gigolo?”
Merew whispered teasingly into Logan’s ears.
She then turned to Pierre and whispered, “He called you a gigolo. The hell you’re laughing for?”
“Was I supposed to respond to that?” he asked somewhat innocently.
Ivy was speechless. Shocked, in fact.
“You’re not punching him in the face?”

Pierre smiled and replied somewhat helplessly, “Didn’t you say that you ain’t gonna send me food in the lockup?”
Ivy was rendered speechless once again. Since when did Pierre grow a mouth like that?
Seeing the two whisper so intimately, Logan felt like he was almost going to go crazy.

Next to them, Logan heard every single word he said.
He had been dazed by a fit of envy earlier, and for a moment, he could not tell whether the man was a gigolo or not. Now that he had regain regained his senses, he realized the latter was not one at all.
He glanced sideways, wondering what gift the man would give Ivy. The moment he opened the box, there was a necklace inside it. It was a purple diamond, and Logan immediately recognized the necklace at a glance. It was the Boundless Galaxy.
He had come across an auction when he had been on an overseas business trip, and the main auction item had been that necklace. Back then, he had wanted to buy it for Ivy, but something had happened company side, so he could not stay and needed to leave. By the time he got back, he had been a few minutes late, and the auction had ended.
Perhaps, he had seen the man beside Ivy at the auction, but there had just been too many people and he did not know which one had been him.
“The Boundless Galaxy?” Ivy was stunned for a moment as she looked at him. “Why do you have it?”
Her response stunned Pierre instead. “Why shouldn’t I have it? I bought this at an auction in Zurich the year before. What’s the matter?”
Ivy looked at Logan who was at the table beside her. Even he was stunned silly. What was going on?
