Chapter 33


    Duke caught up with Wyatt and saw how Wyatt darted his gaze toward Ivy’s back.


    Duke can’t help but shake his head. “Wyatt, don’t tell me you’re regretting that you agreed with the


    divorce? You should be aware that this might be that woman’s scheme and wanted to trick you,” he


    said, making Wyatt turn to him and shoot a death re.


    “I don’t need your useless opinion, Duke,” Wyatt said.


    Getting intimidated by Wyatt’s words and chilly voice, he didn’t dare to speak again.


    That woman humiliated Wyatt in front of everyone. Even though Duke feels like dying from anger,


    he didn’t meddle and lets Wyatt face it. Although what Piper said was a bit excessive, however, it


    was Ivy who begged Wyatt to marry her. Basically, it was Ivy’s fault.


    As soon as Ivy entered the banquet hall earlier, people turned the spotlight on her. Maybe it’s


    because of her position at Morgan Corporation. Since Ivy came to the party to expand her


    socialization and find out outsider information, she was indeed happy to chat with people. And she


    would clink her wine ss with every one of them and take a small sip.


    Because of what had happened earlier, Ivy enjoyed her drinks to forget about them. Ivy’s face


    turned red because of the amount of alcohol that pours into her body. Simon, who was on her side,


    drank the remaining on her behalf. Ivy then found an opportunity and slipped to the bathroom.


    After washing her face with cold water, the pain and madness that lingered inside her slowly


    subsided. And she was about to pick up a tissue to wipe his face when she heard Piper’s voice


    approaching from the outside.


    “I won’t let that slut live a peaceful life. She humiliated my family and is so shameless to surround


    herself with a continuous stream of men! Does she think she’ll be a strong independent woman by


    sleeping with them just to push herself to the top? She should take a look in the mirror to see what a


    wretch she is!”


    Piper and her groupie walked inside and saw Ivy on the sink, staring at them through their reflection


    in the mirror with her arms crossed and a cold smile crept on her face.


    For a moment, Piper was stunned and instantly regained her nasty look as she coldly snorted.


    “Huh, I have such bad luck seeing this slut everywhere I go,” she uttered. Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    “I feel the same way,” Ivy asserted and let out a soft chuckle.


    Piper arched her brow. “Who are you to say that? Even others don’t know who you really are... it


    won’t change the fact that no matter what you do, you can’t erase the past and start over,” she


    scoffed, “you’re just the mighty gold digger,” she added.


    Ivy tickled her lips and did not look back but urately opened the faucet with her hand. Her


    gestures were crisp and sharp as the water flowed down. And no one knew the exact meaning of


    her swift actions.


    Perhaps she was trying to keep her words from being overheard.


    “Miss Reed, you should be thanking God that I didn’t take the initiative to make a fuss about thest


    things that you did to me. So, don’te and find trouble for yourself!” Ivy asserted, her voice was


    icy, but the curvature of the corner of her mouth made her look much gentler.


    Piper scoffed. “What did you say? How dare you warn me? I am a Reed. And you? Who the fuck


    are you? After divorcing my brother, you are nothing!”


    Ivy smirked. Piper wasn’t afraid of anything again without Wyatt’s presence, huh?


    Ever since Piper had always looked down on Ivy, that sense of superiority had been engraved in


    her.


    To Piper, how could a nobody like Ivy equals their status and be respected? She’s a useless human


    being.


    Piper had deliberately asked Ivy to hand wash her branded clothes in the past three years. And


    when she found any damage, she would scold Ivy. She did not even bother to stretch her hands to


    pour herself a ss of water and always preferred Ivy to do it. If she weren’t satisfied, she would let


    Ivy do it again.


    The countless times of humiliation and Ivy’s forbearance and silence made Piper addicted to this


    feeling. Thus, she took it for granted and felt that Ivy deserved to be humble and submissive.


    Even after the divorce, Ivy can’t refute her as she will always be inferior.


    “The Reeds are phenomenal, and I really wonder where did you get your courage and sudden acts


    of superiority,” Piper scoffed and shed a sly smirk.


    “Oh, why you didn’t say those when you were so desperate to marry my brother?” Piper asked and


    arched her brow, “Ivy, did you forget how we loathe you in the first ce? And how you ended up


    marrying Wyatt? It’s because you donate blood for Alice, you begged Wyatt to marry you,” she


    added as she couldn’t help but bring up the past.


    Ivy smiled, and her face was calm and a little cold. “Miss Reed, I regretted that big time. I got


    blinded by love but rested assured that I won’t give a damn about your brother or your family again.


    And if you will not stop mentioning the past again, I’m afraid I might hurt you.”


    Piper couldn’t help but frown at her. Hurt me? she thought. She let out a sarcasticugh. “As if I’m


    afraid of you. Ivy, if you have the courage, you better—Ah!” Piper suddenly shrieked.


    Piper’s face stiffened when cold water had been sshed into her face.


    Ivy put down the decorative bottle at the sink and dusted her hands. Her gaze was calm as she


    said, “you asked for this.”


    “How dare you!” Piper screamed at the top of her lungs. Anger lingered on her face. The dress that


    she wore was from Dior’s off-the-rack collection. Although it was not as luxurious as Ivy’s custom-


    made dress, it still cost dors. Many celebrities couldn’t even afford yet he tainted it?


    Ivy formed a sly smirk on her lips as she turned in Piper’s direction. “Do you really think that I will


    put up with you like before? If you’re going to provoke me again, I will teach you a lesson and settle


    with you with what you’ve done in the past,” she threatened.


    Ivy’s words made Piper shiver. Fear suddenly lit her system when she met Ivy’s cold gaze.


    However, Piper doesn’t want to think about Ivy’s threat at this moment. She was a Reed and was


    respected wherever she went. So, how could she be bullied like this? She faced too much


    humiliation tonight. What face should she hear when she gets putter? Her make-up was smudged


    her dress was wet. She gritted her teeth and shot a re at Ivy.


    “Ivy, I won’t let you get away with this! You’ll pay for this,” Piper asserted and lunged forward and


    raised her hand.


    However, before the p couldnd on Ivy’s face, Ivy grinned as if she was just waiting for Piper to


    make the first move.


    Ivy’s eyes flickered, and her body moved nimbly to the other side as she urately sped Piper’s


    arm.


    Ivy ruthlessly grabbed Piper’s long wavy hair and pushed her forward. The running water was filling


    up the silvery sink and was about to overflow. Piper plunged towards it, and the water sshed into


    her face.


    Piper’s minions were stunned and couldn’t speak because of shock. And when Ivy nced at them,


    they pressed their lips together, taking Ivy’s warning not to meddle with her doings.


    Piper struggled fiercely, so Ivy let go of her and the former stepped back.


    Piper’s colleague couldn’t help but get amazed. Ivy’s dress didn’t even get one ssh from the


    water and still stays as beautiful and seductive as her. However, Piper was incredibly wretched. Her


    hair and make-up were no longer presentable. She leaned against the walls and gasped for air,


    trying to suppress her fear of Ivy.


    Staring at Ivy, she doesn’t even know if she’s facing the real one or the possessed one. Suddenly,


    Piper’s friends went closer to her and held her.


    “Cath… “a-are you okay?” they asked, which made her re at them.


    “Miss Reed, I’ve already told you earlier that I won’t put up with you anymore. If you mess with me


    again, you’ll face the consequences!”


    Ivy’s intimidating gazended on Piper, whose face was now pale. Ivy smiled with satisfaction and


    nced at her one more time before she started to walk her way out.


    However, she stopped and let out a mocking smile at Piper and then turned on her heels and left.


    After Ivy left, Piper screamed in frustration.


    Ivy was in a great mood because she gave what Piper deserves, but who would have thought that


    when she looked up, she saw Wyatt, who had been there for God-knows-how-long, and he was


    leaning on the wall.


    With a slight pause for a moment, she just wanted to ignore him, but Wyatt called her name.


    “Ivy.”


    He was extremely ufortable, but he needed to endure it because he owed something to her.


    Thus, when he heard what was happening inside the women’s restroom, he held back from going in


    to stop them and decided to eavesdrop. The Reed owed her much more than that.


    Ivy stopped and looked at him, arching her brows. “What do you want, Mr. Reed?” Without waiting


    for him to reply, she asserted, “By the way, your sister is inside the restroom, but you came toote,”


    she said and smirked, “also, her face and dress are not presentable enough toe out,” she


    added.
