Simon laughed and tapped the hood of the car once again, making Duke jerk back as he was startled. “Accident? So, three years is not enough to know a person, huh? Ivy is indeed worthless in the eyes of the mighty Wyatt Reed for three years?” Simon asserted and shook his head. “You didn’t know what you have lost,” he added and smiled. “But there’s no need to dig deeper about Ivy’s life because to us, Ivy is a queen!” He gave a thumbs up and raised an eyebrow, then sneered,
Anger lingered in Wyatt’s eyes. His gaze towards Simon sharpened. “Don’t tell me you’re gonna pursue her?” he asked with his deep and cold voice.
Simon burst into laughter. His eyes met Wyatt’s gaze and frankly said, “Yes, I want to pursue her, and I should thank you, Reed, for letting her go. Indeed, I have this opportunity.” He smiled again and took a few steps backward.
Simon’s words angered Wyatt even more, making him withdraw his gaze and look at the front expressionlessly.
On the other hand, Duke felt irritated waiting for them to finish. “Stop talking to a parasite, Wyatt. Let’s go!”
Wyatt’s grip on the steering wheel tightened, and with one step on the accelerator, the car swiftly drifts away, making Duke in a state of shock.
“Dude! Are you angry?!”
However, Wyatt didn’t bother to lessen the speed. Was Simon interested in Ivy all along? And he even admitted it in front of him.
“Wyatt-“
“Isn’t it the photos that you should care about? So, stop bothering me!” he asserted. And through his voice, anger is visible.
“Wyatt… how could you-why on earth did you marry that woman in the first place? There are so many women in the world, why choose Ivy? You knew we were all upset with you. That’s why we never accept-“
Duke didn’t finish his words when Wyatt suddenly stepped on the brake. Wyatt’s face shows irritation, his aura is dark, and suddenly a pang of pain is stabbed into his chest.
“Get out of the fucking car!” Wyatt’s voice was cold which sent shivers down Duke’s body.
Duke’s eyes suddenly widened, and he glanced at him in surprise. “Why?”
“I’m going to the company. So, get out!” Wyatt’s face was inexplicably dark.
Seeing Wyatt’s anger through his eyes, Duke had no choice but to get out of the car. He was left on the side of the street, standing in the cold wind and watching the vehicle getting farther until it disappeared in his sight. He frowned and sighed when he saw that Wyatt didn’t take the route toward his company but went in the other direction.
On the other side, Windy walked over triumphantly. “Duke deserves everything that happened tonight,” she asserted.
Agatha nodded as she agreed. “He should stop his foul schemes towards Ivy. They should stop provoking her. They don’t know how good Ivy was in bullying when she knew she was right.”
“Oh. Before I forget,” Windy asserted, “how can Ivy play dice?”
Agatha and Simon looked at each other and smiled.
“When she was in college, she had a month of quarrels with her family, and her father closed her cards, and as a result, she was tricked into working as a dealer in the biggest underground casino, she learned the skills and made a lot of money!” Agatha stated.
“When his father found out, he was so frightened that Ivy would no longer go back. Because of that situation, he then gave back her black card,” Simon continued.
Windy’s eyes widened, and she regretted why she didn’t stay on the same block with Ivy way back in their college days.
Early in the morning, Ivy twitched the corner of her lips as she opened her eyes to the bright morning light, which was both pleasant and inadvertent.
Suddenly, she heard a knock on at the door and listened to the voice of the maid, saying, “Miss, are you up?”
“Come in…” Ivy replied lazily.
Two maids then opened the door and pushed a huge hanger in. “Miss, these are the dresses prepared for you. Your father and your brother Cooper are waiting for you in the restaurant,” the maid said respectfully.
Ivy couldn’t help but feel surprised a little bit when she saw the dress. Her father is really in his exaggerated mode and even bought her a dress from her favorite brand.
There are multiple pieces in various colors that are all of the same styles, despite the fact that there is no logo on them. Nonetheless, the recognizable craftsmanship and textiles are from Prada’s private cabinet, and they are all limited-edition and new-season models that are not available for purchase on the open market.
She smiled. Sure enough, her father wants her to adapt to a luxurious life again. “Thank you. You may leave,” she said. And the maids left her room.
However, Ivy prefers to keep things low-key. She can have whatever she wants, but this is not the perfect time for her. She then rose from her bed and dressed in a little black dress with a suit jacket that she had chosen at random before leaving her room.
In the restaurant, Leo and Cooper sat at the table and ate breakfast slowly and methodically as they moved with elegance.
And seeing Ivy coming in their direction, Leo smiled at his daughter. “My good daughter is already here,” he asserted.
Cooper also looked at Ivy with a smile formed on his lips. “Last night, the internet was chaos again because of the viral video of Duke, running naked outside the XYZ bar.”
“Look how paparazzi worked,” Ivy uttered.
“And this morning, the Elrod family is now dealing with his scandal. Both the photo and the video. Duke company is also affected by it. And my little sister is competent in dealing with her enemies, savagely,” he continued and let out a soft chuckle.
Ivy shrugged and walked over to sit down. “He provoked me first.”
“Well, The Elrod deserved it. And as long as my daughter is happy, my support will always be with you, of course,” Leo asserted as he poured wine into her glass.
After a few bites and a fantastic chat with her father and Cooper, Ivy took Cooper’s car to the company. And Greg was standing outside the office door, waiting for her to come in.
“Good day, Miss. Anna Gomez came here early in the morning, and she’s waiting for you inside,” Greg said.
Ivy nodded. “Is there any news from the ABC Corporation?” she asked.
“I have called the General Manager of ABC, Lynn, who has offered to invite you to dinner and conduct an in-person interview.”
She nodded and smiled. “Make an appointment for me then.”
“Yes, Miss,” Greg replied.
Ivy pushed the door in and stood there as she watched Anna sit in her swivel chair and rotate it leisurely and enjoy. For a moment, the atmosphere in the office stiffened.
When Anna met Ivy’s gaze, her facial expression changed, and she quickly stood up. Then suddenly, her gaze darted to Greg, that stood behind Ivy. “Why did she come in without saying a word?” she uttered. It seems like she’s blaming Greg.
Ivy smiled indifferently and walked over. “Since Manager Anna likes this chair,” she glanced at the swivel chair, “Greg, send this to Manager Anna to her office.”
Greg approaches Ivy. “Yes, Miss,” he replied.
“Ivy-“
“Address me as ‘boss’ since I am one of your bosses.”
Anna grimaced. “B-Boss, I don’t have any other meaning. You don’t have to send me a chair.”
Ivy sat on the sofa next to her and arched her brow. “I have a habit of cleanliness, and I will not use the chair that others have sat on,” she said.
This made Anna get pissed. She glared at Ivy fiercely and kept on cursing Ivy to death inside her mind. Wasn’t she just a lowly wife of Wyatt Reed for the past three years? What was she proud of? And why does she need to be rude?
“Anyway, what brought you here, Manager Gomez?” Ivy looked at Anna intently.
Anna then walked over with a document twisted around her waist and threw the document in front of Ivy. “Oh, don’t forget that I did remind you. Many people are interested in this project of the Ferrioli Hider Group. Tonight, Zayne Dy of Ferrioli invited guests to talk about this cooperation, and this is an opportunity for you to seize.”
Ivy grabbed the document and turned over two pages of it. Then she suddenly closed it without reading, and she didn’t believe that Anna Gomez would be so kind as to give her such a big cake. And even if it tastes sweet and has its favorite flavors, she won’t take a bite. What if it has poison?
However, since Anna was so active in helping her, it would be rude if she did not cooperate.
She smiled, “You will also attend, right?”
“Of course, I’ll introduce you,” Anna replied.
Ivy let out a soft chuckle, but it has a touch of sarcasm. “Well, expect me to be there on time, then.” Ivy handed the document to Greg. “Increase the number of points by thirty according to this,” she said.
Greg nodded and took it. “Yes, Miss. I will do it,” he answered.
