“Dad,” he uttered when he answered the call.
“How could Ivy delete the article on the internet immediately and tweet fake information on Twitter?” his dad asked in a low voice and calm manner, but Wyatt could feel that he was just concealing a great deal of wrath.
Then suddenly, the line became static for a bit, and this time, Wyatt could hear his mother’s rant. “Bring to me that slut, Wyatt!”
Wyatt gritted his teeth and pinched the bridge of his nose. “Did she do something wrong?” he asked. “The tweet from Ivy proves that it was your daughter who stole the necklace!” he added.
Wyatt admits that he was enraged when he saw Ivy’s tweets. The way how she responds shows sarcasm. And it seems like they cannot get back together.
Wyatt could take down that article about her, but it was taken care of before he could delete it last night. He knew that the accusations were fake. The statement was fake. And he will do his best to defend his wife. But someone already took care of it. And this morning, he found out that it was all his mother’s scheme! Which enraged him even more. How could his mother nonchalantly frame Ivy?
“Huh?! How do I know that your sister took it?” her mother replied, but Wyatt could feel the sarcasm in her voice.
“Isn’t it that’s the necklace you keep in your safe? And she knew about the password, isn’t she? Is there anyone else but her?” Wyatt asked simultaneously, rage growing inside him. He sighed. “It’s not too late to make your apology, mom. The PR is still here, but I will definitely fire them before this day ends,” he added.
Wyatt’s words made Eva Reed’s eyes widen, and her system is shocked. “W-What? I will apologize?” she asked and laughed sarcastically. “How dare that slut, a gold digger, a stranger, will make me beg on my knees? Wyatt, bring that slut back here, and I’m going to teach her a lesson!” she exclaimed, which made Wyatt grimace because of his mom’s loud voice.
Wyatt sighed. “You knew we’re not already married,” he replied and hung up. Anger registered on his face. His grip on his phone tightened. He took a deep breath and calmed himself as he tried to dial Ivy’s number.
However, it cannot be reached.
Wyatt harshly puts down his phone which causes a loud noise. Afterward, he cast a chilly glance at his assistant, Ken.
“Find out where Ivy is and give me information in fifteen minutes,” he commanded, which Ken did.
And when Wyatt’s assistant came back after a few minutes, he stated that Ivy was not in the city and there was no sign of her whereabouts. This information made Wyatt’s face darken.
After a few hours, Wyatt decided to release a public apology and clear that it was just a misunderstanding. But he didn’t mention their marriage.
And while Wyatt is scrolling the feed on Ivy’s Twitter, it hurt him a little more. He scrolled down and started to read them.
@Ivy: Wyatt is back, and I’m delighted… (:
@Ivy: The rain is pouring. I’m not sure if Wyatt has an umbrella.
@Ivy: Wyatt picked me up. ??
@Ivy: Wyatt’s breakfast has been prepared.
Wyatt stopped reading the rest when he felt a sudden pang in his chest. In her tweets, he could feel her undying love. When he refreshed her newsfeed, her last statement broke him because he could feel the coldness in it-not to mention that Ivy also posted the stolen photo of him and Alice.
And he tried to remember their relationship in the past three years.
Ivy knew that he was not that vocal. He’s not good at expressing what he truly feels. And the fact that he thinks that Ivy is fine in their situation, he then chooses to be at ease. And then he will find out that he’s unconsciously hurting her.
His chest felt heavy, his eyes were gloomy, and his heart seemed to have been squeezed heavily.
ONE MONTH LATER…
A royalty banquet was being held in the heart of the city, and it would be attended by various business tycoons, showbiz celebrities, and elite people. It was a significant and costly gathering for the upper class and society. And it must be completely secure-the organizers made certain that the entire perimeter was guarded and secured.
Wyatt Reed and his friend Alice Perez were clearly the focus of the media as they walked out of their magnificent Mercedes Benz sports car at the Walton Hotel’s entrance.
Wyatt Reed was full of aura and incomparable as he got out of his car.
Alice adores the spotlight that they have thrown. As soon as she learned about Wyatt’s divorce, she was overjoyed and realized her opportunity had arrived. She is, however, still ill at the present, as Wyatt has ceased visiting her at the hospital.
Wyatt was scheduled to attend the event alone. On the other hand, Alice’s uncle invited her to attend as Wyatt’s date.
And no one dared to look at Alice once they were inside. The public was aware that she was the cause of Wyatt and Ivy’s divorce.
“Welcome, Mr. Reed…” the organizer extended his hand to shake, but they were interrupted by a disturbance at the hotel entrance.
“Cooper Morgan is on her way…” the audience exclaimed.
In front of him, a luxuriously tailored Rolls-Royce came to a halt. Cooper is, in fact, the fabled Wall Street thug. He walked out of his car wearing the style Wyatt had been familiar with for a long period of time.
As soon as he appeared, everyone gathered around him to greet him and shake his hand.
On the other hand, Cooper moved to the side of his car and opened the right door, and he modestly extended his hand, attracting everyone’s attention.
Cooper, who has never had an intimate relationship with a woman, will have a date?
“Ivy-it is Ivy!” exclaimed the audience.
Wyatt’s eyes opened as his sight fell on the woman wearing a beautiful gown studded with diamonds. She glowed with elegance and flawlessly delineated her slim frame. Ivy’s makeup is wonderfully seductive with a hint of edge, emphasizing her flawless facial features.
On the other hand, Wyatt’s eyes darkened, and he squinted as Ivy threw her arms around Cooper and walked over, a smile creeping across her face.
As they drew closer to their side, Wyatt’s heart began to throb faster, tinged with grief and rage.
The golden hall is star-studded, as the hall is packed with the wealthy. As Reed and Morgan were prominent members of society, their presence pleased the public.
Ivy was eager to meet Wyatt again; he appeared to be a stranger to her at first glance, wasn’t he? She shook her head in disbelief. She had already abandoned their connection.
Wyatt never brings her to this type of event during those three years. They were aware that Wyatt was married, but they only knew her by her given name-Ivy Reed-at the moment.
And this time, with Alice by his side, Ivy can’t help but cynically laugh. Considering how quickly Alice took her place.
Cooper sensed Ivy’s emotion at that precise moment and caressed her arm thoughtfully. “Relax. “I am here,” he stated.
Ivy raised her eyes to her brother and grinned. Her brow arched. “It is not I who should be fearful,” she said thoughtfully. And Cooper understands what she’s saying.
Ivy has no worries anymore, and why should she be afraid of them?
Letting those people belittle her for three years is enough.
She can be invincible if she really desires!
Cooper and Ivy approached Wyatt abruptly. Wyatt and Cooper were equally popular, regardless of who ranked higher.
“Mr. Reed, I’ve been looking up to your great name in the business society for a long time,” Cooper asserted and let out a smile.
“Thanks,” Wyatt replied, coldly which made Cooper let out a soft chuckle.
Cooper initiated to shake their hands, and Wyatt’s eyes were fixed on the woman next to Cooper.
Ivy stood next to Cooper, her smile was dazzling, lustrous, and transparent, and the custom-made dress lined with white skin was flawless, making her change into a different person. And Wyatt can’t take his gaze off her. He was seeing radiant Ivy in front of him. She’s strange, and her aura seems dangerous.
‘The day she disappeared; she went to Cooper’s side. And what is her relationship with Cooper?’
The mood was weird at the time, and fury was welling up in Wyatt’s eyes as a result of the thoughts racing through his mind.
On the other hand, Alice, observing Wyatt’s facial expression, angered her, and she gritted her teeth. “Ivy, why are you here? As far as I know, you can’t afford to come to this kind of event,” Alice asserted; her voice was sharp, and Ivy could feel the disgust and envy in it.
Alice seems to remind Ivy not to forget her lowly status. And this brought a grin to Ivy’s face.
Wyatt scowled and was ready to say something to alleviate the tension when Cooper responded. “Who is this?” he said, his attention fixed on Wyatt and to Alice. “I don’t remember her face in the business industry. And who does she believe she is?” he inquired, attempting to maintain his composure.
Alice was taken aback by Cooper’s remarks. “Mister, I’m not familiar with you either-“
