Chapter 14 – Leaving Him Burning in Regret Novel

The conference room was filled with silence, and everyone started to glance at each other.

Ivy frowned slightly; she didn’t want to be the center of attraction, but it seemed like the odds were not with her this time. She was about to open her mouth when Anna Gomez stood up and met her gaze.

“Mr. Morgan, I am sorry for my behavior. I just realized that I made a mistake, and I will respect the company’s decision, and I will cooperate with Miss Ivy’s work,” she asserted and bowed her head as she faced Cooper’s side.

Cooper sighed and nodded. “All right.” He stood up and looked at them, “meeting adjourned,” he added and left the conference room.

Ivy’s gaze is fixed on the woman named Anna Gomez. She saw how the woman breathed a long sigh of relief.

And the people around them inside the conference room have different opinions about Ivy. However, no one dared to oppose Cooper’s decision.

Ivy sighed. She will try her best to use her ability to prove herself-to prove that she could do everything for the company.

One by one, people left the conference room. So, as hers and went straight to her office. Then suddenly, Cooper’s confidant, Greg, went inside her office.

“Miss Morgan…” No one knew her real surname inside the company except for Cooper, Windy, and Greg, since he was appointed to be her secretary for a while, “is there anything that you need?”

Ivy smiled. “Thank you for coming. Actually, Cooper had mentioned the project of the ABC Corporation, and I want all the information about it,” she asserted.

“All right. I will go and prepare it, Miss,” Greg replied. He bowed his head and exited the room.

Windy smiled at Greg before she stepped inside Ivy’s office on the outside.

Windy smiled at Ivy. “Dear,” she went closer to her, “my office is just next to you,” she added.

Ivy smiled and nodded.

“Anyway, things at first are really hard, but you will get used to it,” Windy uttered.

Ivy nodded.

“Also, I want to show you something,” she said as she waved his iPhone and a cord. She went to the other side and stood beside Ivy. Then she started to show it, making Ivy’s forehead crease when she saw what it was… A new wave of public opinions about her has fermented again on the Internet.

Ivy’s name is on the hot search again. “Why do you have to be bothered by it, Windy?” she asked and sighed.

Windy raised her chin and proudly opened her mouth. “Because I don’t allow such things like this. Why do they need to do this? It’s immature-“

“It doesn’t matter, Windy. It’s no big deal,” Ivy replied and smiled.

Windy arched her brow. “I know you knew who’s behind this, right?”

Ivy shook her head. “No. But I know Piper has something to do with-“

“It’s Duke Elrod. Wyatt and Piper’s friend,” Windy uttered bluntly.

Ivy let out a snide. Sure enough, there was no difference from her speculation-whether it was Piper or Duke. Besides, they were all related to Wyatt.

She snorted; her face darkened. “Call Blaze. I want Duke’s information right now,” she asserted.

Windy smiled widely and wiggled her brows. “That is the Ivy I know. Fierce. However, there’s no need to call Blaze,” Windy waved her phone, “because I already have it. I already sorted out the things that you need to use to get even with that Duke the man-whore,” she added.

Ivy smiled. “You’re really great at this, bitch,” she said, which made Windy roll her eyes over her.

“Here. Do you think this will do?” Windy asked as she showed the photo of Duke with girls surrounding him.

Ivy shrugs. “Let’s hope.”

Ivy made a newly registered account and posted Duke’s photo with other women, and worst, he’s even kissing the woman on his left.

Ivy smirked when she read the caption that she attached.

If you want to deal with me, be brave enough to show yourself in front of me and will not hire paparazzi to do the work. You are free to shoot me.

P.S. I hope Mr. Elrod will be doing good.

After a couple of minutes, the news popped out, and netizens went in haywire. Ivy’s newly registered Twitter account followers started to rise sharply.

REED CORPORATION. Soon as Duke saw that photo on the internet, he rushed to Wyatt’s company. He ran towards his office. “Brother!” he shouted the moment he closed the door. However, Wyatt didn’t bother to look up, “your ex-wife started to kill me!” he added as he approached Wyatt.

Wyatt frowned and raised his head, and glanced at Duke faintly.

“Does she want to destroy my life?” Duke asked, anger lingering in his system. “She’s showing her true face. Now, my wife is calling for a divorce. Wyatt,” he tapped the table, “you have to help me.”

Wyatt’s arched her brow and suddenly looked into his phone. And Duke can see how Wyatt’s aura darkened as he furrowed his brows, and they were slightly sinking as he ran his gaze into the comments.

“So, you planned to attack her online? You dared to attack her online, and now you’re pestering me because she gets even to you?”

Duke’s eyes widened. “I… I just wanted to teach her a lesson, and besides, I didn’t know that the video was edited. The paparazzi called me and told me that it was already ready. And he cheated on me because of money!” he explained.

Wyatt threw his iPhone on top of his table and returned his gaze to the documents he was reading. “Get out of my office. You deserve that!” he uttered; anger lingers in the tone of his voice.

“Wyatt… please. You have to help me. I was scammed. But it was Piper’s idea. Ugh! It was supposed to be Piper who’s on my shoe.”

Wyatt stopped, and his face was even colder; thinking about what happened in the restaurant last time, Piper will really get revenge.

Damn that, woman!

Duke kept on begging, but Wyatt didn’t want to give a damn. However, he’s getting loud, and Wyatt hates it. He looked up and met Duke’s gaze. “You solve it yourself. This is the consequence of your unwise scheme with my sister. Besides, with your ability-you’re rich too. This is just a small matter,” he asserted.

Duke sighed in defeat as he sat down in front of Wyatt’s table. “Of course, it is, but it seems like the Blaze of Glamour Entertainment was on Ivy’s side. He declined to help me. And I am dead meat,” he said hopelessly.

Wyatt frowned. Glamour Entertainment was the company that will deal with social media issues, but why they’re refusing Duke Elrod?

Duke is going to suffer a significant loss. His wife had always been obedient and well-behaved, and when she saw the photo, she proposed a divorce. And it’s killing Duke. He wasn’t supposed to be bothered by it, but when his father saw it, he wanted to kill Duke.

“You have to help me-“

“I advise you to go to the person you provoke to do this thing,” Wyatt interrupted.

“Ivy?” Duke scoffed. There’s no way that he will be going to apologize to a hypocritical woman.

After a while, Wyatt’s secretary went in to remind him about the meeting. He then stood up and left Duke in his office.

When Wyatt was gone, Duke sighed and exited the room too. He had to solve the matter as soon as possible, but apologizing to Ivy personally? It’s a big NO. Apologizing to that woman is worse than being slapped with a whip.

However, Duke still let the PR of his company use his account with 1M followers to publish a new post.

@Duke: I didn’t know about the video clip, and I apologize for the trouble that it caused.

Duke knew that he had lost the battle. Ivy dared to destroy his name. So, he knew the woman had shreds of evidence. And it would not be good for him to continue it. He already badly tinted his name.

MORGAN CORPORATION.

Windy smiled and walked into Ivy’s office. “Duke didn’t even survive for two hours and surrendered,” she said and burst into laughter.

Ivy closed the folder and grabbed her phone from the side of her desk, and looked at the internet. She just coldly stared at it and put down her phone.

Ivy knew the background of the Elrod family, and it must be Duke’s parents who put pressure on him. Otherwise, with Duke’s personality, that jerk won’t apologize. And she knew that the jerk loathed her at this moment.

Suddenly, they were interrupted by a knock at the door. Then they saw Anna Gomez push the door in a while, smiling. “Can I come in?” she asked as she stopped.
