The reporters did not spare Leo Morgan, the Morgan family’s patriarch. It seemed as though his approach would determine Ivy’s fate.
Leo’s already dismal expression darkened even further when he heard those comments. He stepped forward, not intending to say anything.
Cooper, too, was deafeningly silent. The surrounding bodyguards blocked the reporters. Ivy simply stepped out peacefully in her black dress without saying anything.
The facts will eventually show everything. Someone suddenly tossed a mineral water bottle from the opposite direction, slamming it into the back of Ivy’s skull. Ivy shivered as a result of the blow. Cooper turned coldly in that way and said, “Greg, find that person and notify the cops!” “
“Yes, Sir.”
The bodyguards increased their alertness and formed a solid wall on all sides, denying anyone the opportunity to throw items. The Morgans then got into their car, which slowly began to blend into traffic.
They had prepared six of the same cars in the front and back, so the reporters had no means of identifying them and soon lost their car.
Ivy finally exhaled a sigh of relief as they climbed inside the car.
Cooper scratched her chin and stared at her with concern.
“Is it painful?”
Ivy gave a shaky nod. “No, it doesn’t,” she said, stunned.
Leo got a half-glass of red wine from the small refrigerator and guzzled it with his head thrown back.
“The Reeds are out of control! Don’t blame me for being impolite because they dare to touch my daughter!”
Cooper gave the nod. “Yeah, it’s about time we showed them the consequences of their actions, but there’s no haste.”
“Don’t be upset, Dad. They don’t worth our time.” Ivy smiled, a tinge of bitterness in her heart. Her family only had to deal with these embarrassments because she was too ignorant and stubborn to fall for the wrong man back then.
I was just begging for it. Ivy reflected.
Leo was heartbroken and moaned quietly as he touched her hair. “It’s nice that you considered it. It’s never too late to change your mind.”
Ivy nodded, her eyes becoming a little misty.
The picture of the Morgans at the airport became a heated topic of conversation on the internet as soon as they left.
Look at Chairman Morgan’s face! He doesn’t seem to recognize Ivy as his daughter-in-law; her dream of marrying into a wealthy family has been dashed!
How could Cooper Morgan fall for such a gold-digger as Ivy? He must be duped!
Ivy has so many talents… I really should learn from her.
Then suddenly, the phone rang.
Leo stared at his phone and took it up with a serious expression.
“Is there something wrong, Chairman Reed?”
“I just saw the news online, Chairman Morgan. I suppose I owe you a decent welcome now that you’ve returned! Why don’t we go out for a drink tonight?”
Cooper and Ivy shared a gaze with their father. Don Reed was delighted to telephone their father shortly after Leo stepped off the plane.
Leo Morgan smirked. “That is not even needed. My family is currently in chaos. Therefore, I’m not in the mood to go out for a drink.”
“It’s simply because of a lady, so what’s there to be upset about?” Don Reed replied. “I truly have a request for you.”
“Chairman Reed, the Morgan Corporation’s anniversary is in a few days, so how about I invite your entire family, and we can chat then?”
The opposite party took a breather. “Fine, I’ll see you then.”
Leo Morgan’s eyes glowed once he hung up the phone. “Just wait ’till I clean up after those Reeds knuckleheads!”
Cooper burst out laughing. “Then I’ll use these few days to reorganize our company’s shares and pick which directors to keep or fire for our princess to have a clean environment.”
Leo gave the nod. “That’s great; it’ll save us a lot of trouble later.”
Ivy sighed deeply. “Oh no… What am I supposed to do? I’m about to have too much money that I won’t be able to spend.”
Leo came to a halt and immediately remembered something.
“Speaking of spending, Sebastian spent millions in one afternoon, according to the bank president. Because it is not for investment or stock, he is concerned that it is an unusual transaction. What is Sebastian doing?”
Cooper couldn’t stop laughing. “Dad, Princess wasted that money.”
“Oh, then I’m pleased,” Leo responded.
Sebastian would undoubtedly go insane if he found out.
Ivy returned home to find a phone call from an unknown number. She ignored it since she suspected it was a spam call. However, it rang repeatedly, and Ivy eventually succumbed.
“Ivy?
Duke Elrod’s voice was heard.
She cocked her brow. “Is there something wrong, Mr. Elrod?”
Duke was looking for her, so it wasn’t going to be good. He pursed his lips.
“Ivy, I didn’t take this chance to pour fuel to the fire this time, so you can’t push me out to be your shield.”
Ivy chuckled. It turns out he understands what fear is.
“Did you forget how you insulted me that night, Mr. Elrod?”
Duke was terrified, but he refused to give up. “That was just a miscommunication. I’ve deeply looked arrogantly at myself, so just let me off the hook this time.”
Duke’s voice sounded panicked for the first time to Ivy. Those naked photos appeared to have deeply disturbed him.
“I’ll consider it. Please do not call me again. I’m not interested in hearing your voice.”
Ivy was about to hang up when Duke abruptly said, “Hey, hold! Someone is searching for you.”
Ivy froze for a split second before hearing a familiar icy voice.
“It’s me, Ivy.”
Wyatt Reed was the one.
Ivy’s brows arched slightly as she heard this voice. She gave out a soft chuckle. “Would you like to warn me as well, Mr. Reed?”
Wyatt was taken aback for a time. “Didn’t my grandfather look for you?”
“Didn’t Chairman Reed plan this whole incident to teach me a lesson?”
He’s simply being stupid! Ivy thought.
“Ivy, just agree with him. Return the pipe, and I’ll handle the rest. I’ll take care of everything online.”
Ivy stifled a laugh. Her eyes were somewhat moist. The other side was deafeningly quiet.
