Piper and Eva Reed were not as calm as the Reed men. Eva shattered the silence in the venue with her tense and sharp voice, exclaiming, “Impossible! She’s obviously an orphan with no money or background!”
“Stop talking!” With a dark and sullen expression, Don Reed rebuked her.
How could it be a forgery if Leo Morgan admitted it to the public?
Leo Morgan ignored Eva’s flurry and continued to detonate another bomb in front of the crowd. “I’d like to announce that all of my shares at the company will be transferred to Ivy. She will take over as CEO of Morgan Corporation and will be my designated heir.”
Ivy’s identity was completely turned upside down in an instant. She was not only Leo Morgan’s daughter but also the heiress of Morgan Corporation.
She had risen from being chastised and ridiculed for being a gold digger and wanting to marry into a wealthy family to becoming a true billionaire!
Her position was phenomenal.
The venue was suddenly buzzing, and even the media reporters couldn’t take their eyes off this momentous occasion.
Before everyone had time to process this shocking news, Cooper Morgan, who was standing nearby, approached his father and nodded.
“Everyone…”
In an instant, the audience was deafeningly quiet. Cooper Morgan was still regarded as the CEO of Morgan Corporation. His words were crucial in the industry and carried a lot of weight.
Cooper’s face was calm and doting as he looked at Ivy.
“To welcome my sister back home, I will give her 10% of my Morgan Corporation’s stock. Ivy Morgan, the largest shareholder with 71 percent of Morgan Corporation’s shares, will now take over as CEO of Morgan Corporation directly from her current position as Vice President. As Ivy’s older brother, I will always strongly support any decision she makes. I believe that everyone, including myself, is excited about the future Ivy will lead us into.”
The crowd felt as if another bomb had been dropped on them after Cooper Morgan finished his speech. Did the person in charge of Morgan Corporation change that quickly? There will be no fighting, gossiping, or squabbles.
Ivy stood calmly to the side, but her heart was still surprised.
Cooper had never mentioned that he would be giving her a portion of his stock, so this came as a surprise.
Suddenly, the entire Morgan Corporation landed on her shoulders.
It was as if a glacier of gold had landed directly in front of her. It was so massive that she couldn’t even see the top when she looked up.
Following the silence, thunderous applause resounded throughout the hall. The audience applauded Ivy Morgan’s return as well as Cooper Morgan’s generosity.
When the applause subsided, a reporter on the scene couldn’t help but ask a question. “How do you feel about the false and defamatory rumors about you on the internet, Ms. Morgan? May I ask if your divorce from Mr. Wyatt Reed means that Morgan Corporation and Reed Corporation is no longer connected?”
The reporter took advantage of the opportunity and did not want to wait for the press conference later because he would miss out on this first chance.
Wyatt’s dark eyes narrowed instantly. He raised his head and fixed his gaze on the radiant and beautiful woman on stage.
Ivy did not avoid the question, instead of looking at the reporter directly and with a faint smile.
“Permit me to respond to your second question first. Back then, I concealed my identity to marry Mr. Reed, so the marriage was not a business alliance and did not reflect the stance of Morgan Corporation. To be more specific, this failed marriage is the result of a youthful bout of impulsiveness on my part. My past lunacy is mine to bear alone, and I fully accept the failure of this marriage. This divorce allows me to get back on track for the future. What about those slanderous rumors….”
Ivy swept a glance at Don Reed and Wyatt Reed, hooking the corners of her lips with disdain, “perhaps if I had informed them of my true identity sooner, there wouldn’t have been such a total sham for the past few days,” she said, raising her eyebrows.
“I will be forever thankful that I am Leo Morgan’s daughter and have this opportunity to clarify everything. Though I can’t say the same if this happened to an ordinary individual.”
Ivy curved her lips silently and didn’t say anything else. Everyone finally got it.
The Reeds invented this slanderous farce with the intent of defaming Ivy.
It was simply impossible for an ordinary person to make a comeback if this happened to them.
With the Reeds’ power, it was as simple as snapping a finger to sentence an ordinary person to death.
Ivy was not so kind as to cover up the Reeds’ wrongdoings. She would, of course, take advantage of the opportunity to show the world how disgraceful and shameless the Reeds were.
Don Reed stood there, his shocked expression betraying his panic and a deep sense of regret. What had been done could not be reversed.
Ivy was not expected to be the heir to Morgan Corporation!
It’s no surprise that the Reeds couldn’t find any trace of Ivy’s past, even after using their connections when Ivy and Wyatt first married. As a result, they believed her when she claimed to be an orphan.
If the Morgan family wanted to, they could easily hide her past.
Is this divorce for her to get on the right track for the future?
Wyatt’s brow furrowed, and his eyes were cold when he heard Ivy’s words. His heart sank suddenly.
Was marrying me a mistake in her life? He thought.
“Ms. Morgan, was the real reason for your divorce was due to a third-party interfering in your marriage?”
The reporter pursued the question, which reminded everyone of the scandal that erupted during their divorce. Countless sighs and discussions could be heard in the hall.
Alice Perez’s name came up again as a third wheel. She had confirmed her identity as Wyatt’s mistress by coming over as his female companion this evening.
Alice had intended to aggravate Ivy’s situation by showing up, but she had not anticipated that she would shoot herself in the foot by doing so.
Ivy paused, lowered her head, and laughed softly.
“Mr. Reed and Ms. Perez are a perfect match. Like everyone else, I wish them the best.”
There were a lot of eyes on the Morgans and the Reeds at this point. The words of the reporter and Ivy made Don Reed’s face unimaginably glum. Eva, too, wished she could bury her head in the sand. Despite the fact that no one said anything expressly, everyone’s gaze was filled with hatred and mockery.
How could they treat Morgan’s heiress in such a way? Wyatt Reed married a secret billionaire and almost took over the entire Morgan Corporation, but they were too blind to pass up such a great opportunity on their own.
Wyatt’s eyes were cold and submerged as he stood there. His face was tense, and he didn’t look away from the onlookers. His suit was crease-free, and he was staring intently at Ivy, who appeared to be glowing in the light. He was experiencing a range of emotions in his heart at the time.
In this type of situation, Wyatt could still maintain his calm and steady persona, as well as his ambivalent and reserved poise. It was clear that Wyatt Reed had witnessed so many dramatic events that he was not easily shaken.
Ivy gave him a sidelong glance and a faint smile. “There’s no need to bring up trivial matters from the past. Tonight, I have even more surprises in store for everyone!”
Everyone returned their attention to Ivy on stage. “A few days ago, I bought out a live-stream online shopping session,” she said gently and clearly. “I’ve kept a few items for my company’s employees as a small welcome gift, but there are still a lot of private collectors’ items, bags, necklaces, and watches that haven’t been released in the market. Please take part in our raffle over there if you’d like.”
Everyone exclaimed… “How much money did the Morgans spend on hosting this gala?”
“Wait a minute… live stream, gifts, private collectors’ items, not released in the market?”
When a reporter regained his composure, he couldn’t help but ask, “Ms. Morgan, are you Rich Baby, who shocked the internet a few days ago by purchasing $800 million in goods online in one afternoon?”
Ivy, who only smiled and pursed her lips softly, drew everyone’s attention.
“These are just a few tokens for all of the employees at Morgan Corporation’s affiliates. I didn’t expect it to get so much attention. I sincerely apologize for consuming the media’s resources.”
Morgan Corporation had so many branches and branches that $800 million in luxury items was not considered extreme. It’s possible that there won’t be enough to go around.
Everyone was stunned and speechless. Ivy is known as @RichBaby!
It’s no surprise that those internet sleuths expended all of their efforts and still couldn’t figure out who was behind this account handle.
Ivy spent $800 million to buy out the entire live stream session so that the live streamer could shop for her in Europe from afar. She had quietly assumed her identity as a billionaire while everyone was belittling her!
Simultaneously, photos from Morgan Corporation’s anniversary gala had already gone viral on the internet.
Ivy’s picture on the digital signboard atop the Pearl Tower across the stream was the most direct way to reveal her identity.
