THE FOLLOWING DAY, at noon, while everyone was still reeling from the news that Ivy was the Morgan Corporation’s heiress, an apology letter was sent out on behalf of Reed Corporation.
The letter primarily addressed the internet’s false rumors about Ivy. Simultaneously, Wyatt apologized in his name for failing to cherish his marriage to Ivy.
There was an instantaneous surge of interest on the internet.
This is a true-to-life television show! Hold on a moment while I prepare my popcorn.
Wait, they admit to bullying Ivy?
They admitted it in a roundabout way… Ivy, our Goddess, has a clean conscience! I’ve always stood by her since she announced her divorce and dared to reveal the true identity of the third party in their marriage!
The Morgan Corporation. Within the conference room…
The crowd’s gaze was drawn to the high-ranking officials seated at the head of the conference table. In the meantime, Leo Morgan sat back in his chair, dozing off as he confidently left Cooper in charge of this meeting.
Afterward, Cooper began to introduce Ivy, saying a few words of introduction.
Ivy let her hair fall in front of her brow to conceal the scar from last night’s accident.
“I’m sure everyone in this room is aware that Ivy is my father’s daughter and my sister. She is now Morgan Corporation’s largest shareholder. As a result, I am pleased to announce that Ivy Morgan has been appointed Chief Executive Officer of Morgan Corporation. Everyone, I believe, has no opinion on this, correct?”
Ivy was now the most potent shareholder in the company!
The aggregate number of shares held by everyone present was insignificant in comparison to Ivy’s. As a result, no one dared to express an opinion on this matter.
Many of the directors present were relieved that they did not join Jess Croft’s “revolt.” Otherwise, they would not be here right now.
Everyone was just so relieved to have escaped a disaster!
“Congratulations, Miss Ivy!”
Everyone started applauding and welcoming Ivy.
Ivy smiled and expressed her joy at being promoted from Vice President to CEO Ivy. Cooper arranged for it specifically to ensure a seamless transition into her new role as CEO.
Despite this, Cooper’s position as President was unaffected. He still wielded considerable power.
It was simply that Ivy now oversaw a much broader range of enterprises.
Regardless, she was now the tyrannical CEO, Ivy Morgan!
Greg greeted her as she exited the conference room and handed her the phone. “Miss Ivy, please find attached the Reed Corporation’s apology letter that was just released.”
Ivy cocked her brow. This soon?
Given Don Reed’s temper, she reasoned that they would drag it out for at least ten days, if not more than a month.
Ivy gave a fleeting glance, laughed softly, and then turned off the screen. This was an artful apology.
They clarified her scandal in a few words and even formally assessed their marriage devoid of any emotion or feeling.
She could immediately tell that this was Wyatt’s work.
“Are we required to respond?”
Ivy cast a sidelong glance at Greg. “No, there’s no need to make a statement any longer.”
“Noted, ma’am. ABC Corporation is also beginning the process of selecting research programs. Mr. Saver wishes all three parties to send candidates to ABC Corporation until the program is completed. They intend to immediately announce the good news to the world once the finished product is released for maximum benefit.”
Ivy gave the nod. When she thought of ABC’s project, she felt energized. Because this was her first project as Vice President at Morgan Corporation, she would cherish it as if it were her child.
“There’s still the issue of selecting our research and development candidates,” Greg said after a brief pause. “We have yet to finalize the candidates who are qualified to join ABC’s research and development team. Why don’t we advertise a school recruitment drive to see if there are any suitable university candidates?”
Ivy cracked a grin. “There’s no need. I’ve already got a candidate in mind.”
She walked away merrily, returning her gaze to Greg. “I’m sure my brother must have planned a lot of things recently for me. Try to push it off if you can. I want to participate in the selection of this ABC research program myself.”
It’ll be a shame if Reed Corporation takes advantage of this opportunity while I’m not looking! She thought.
Ivy would not budge on anything related to her company’s interests.
Greg didn’t dare to object and simply said, “Yes, ma’am. By the way, would you like to go over the list of gifts you’ve purchased for the staff?”
Ivy gave a shaky nod. “You guys can arrange it in any way you want.”
In any case, her only responsibility in this situation was to spend money.
Greg took a breather. “How is your wound?”
Except for Greg, no one knew about her injury. Ivy would not have been compelled to attend this meeting if she had not been obligated to do so.
Ivy inadvertently touched the wound.
“It’s all right. I went to the doctor. It’s only a minor scuff. I’m not that sensitive.”
Greg nodded. “A copy of the investigation’s findings has already been delivered to your office.”
“All I need is a name.” Ivy was intrigued as to who wanted her dead.
Greg responded, “Alice Perez.”
Her lips formed a frosty smile, and she didn’t say anything.
The Grand Hotel.
Ivy’s birthday party was attended by a large number of celebrities and dignitaries. As Cooper previously stated, this was an excellent opportunity for connections.
Leo Morgan was willing to spend a lot of money on his daughter. He booked the entire hotel. The whole street was closed off, and bodyguards were stationed to protect the guests.
The setting was stunning: it was bright, luxurious, and one-of-a-kind. Ivy’s picture was displayed on a large electronic screen outside. She appeared to be both beautiful and brave.
“Happy Birthday, Ivy Gaile Morgan!”
In a matter of seconds, this phrase dominated the trending topics on the internet and the advertising space was worth ten million dollars.
This event was even grander and more luxurious than Morgan Corporation’s anniversary gala. It demonstrated how much The Morgan family spoiled Ivy.
They wanted her to be the most beautiful person in the entire city that night.
Ivy, Windy, and Agatha were preparing themselves and were more relaxed because there were no outsiders around.
Ivy looked at a table full of gold, silver, and diamond accessories. The jewelry sparkled in the light, and the entire room smelled like money.
This was the best feeling ever!
Ivy looked stunning in a simple but elegant black gown that accentuated her slim figure. It contrasted with her fair skin, making her look radiant and beautiful. She possessed such innate regality that she could carry herself without any accessories. Even if she just stood there, she would appear extraordinary and noble.
Windy and Agatha were taken aback by the diamond accessories Leo had sent over.
This was almost like the entire city’s jewel collection. They’d never seen anything like it!
