Chapter 49


    “Ivy, I’ve been underestimating you all along. You appear to be highly capable. It’s no surprise that


    you took the effort to pursue a divorce. It turns out that you’ve already identified your next prey. You


    were promoted to Vice President of Morgan Corporation as soon as you divorced Wyatt. Cooper


    appears to ce high importance on you,” Don Reed asserted.


    Ivy giggled and turned to face the Reeds. Piper was clearly terrified and did not dare to speak, but


    the elderly man hade prepared.


    “Didn’t your family push me to file a divorce? Chairman Reed, you summon me to the Reed


    Mansion every week to lecture me on how insignificant and worthless I am of your morally superior


    Reed family. You should be relieved that Wyatt and I are no longer married. Why did you still make


    an effort toe to me?”


    Ivy was well aware that Don Reed had persuaded her to visit the Reed Mansion once a week, not


    for a family reunion, but to urge Eva and Piper to punish her even more physically and mentally.


    This was done so Ivy could sense the distance between herself and the Reeds.


    Eva and Piper went all-out to bully Ivy because of Don Reed’s participation. Ivy was looked down on


    by all of the maids at the Reeds Mansion as a result.


    Shouldn’t they be rejoicing that their joke of a daughter-inw has voluntarily drifted? Ivy pondered.


    “What exactly do you mean by that? Are you attempting to unravel the past? Is this how you should


    address your elders?” Don Reed was displeased with Ivy’s behavior.


    How could this obedient woman from back then speak back to him?! What a rebel! Don Reed


    thought.


    Ivy exhaled a snort. “This is my office. Thus, there are no elders or juniors. There are only two types


    of people—bosses and employees. I’m only receiving you right now because you’re the Chairman


    of the Reed Corporation, so get to the point quickly. Please don’t squander anyone’s time. After all,


    you didn’t set an appointment, and I don’t have much time because I still have a lot to do.”


    Ivy gazed at her watch and back to the dreary old man without a single expression.


    To whom is he attempting to throw a tantrum? Is he still thinking she’s the same foolish woman she


    was three years ago? Ivy reflected. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.


    “Ivy, how dare you speak to Grandpa in that manner! Do you want him to pass out from rage in his


    old age?” When Piper saw this, she quickly urged Ivy. Ivy truly believes she is superior to everyone,


    huh? she thought.


    Ivy gave her a sidelong nce and a lightugh. “I don’t have anything to do with your family any


    longer. Do you really expect me to descend so low and put up with your nonsense? Did youe


    here unwillingly only to agitate yourself? Please ept my apologies for myck of courtesy if that’s


    the case. I’ll have my assistant send you off,” Ivy replied.


    She didn’t beg them toe over, so how could she act so self-righteous?


    Piper was worried and turned to gaze at Don Reed. “Grandpa…”


    Don Reed was astute, and he knew Ivy disliked being abased. He made a chilly grunt and got right


    to the point.


    “All right, Ivy, I’ll be honest with you. My daughter-inw and this girl grabbed my family artifact to


    show off, not expecting to be yed by you. My life revolves around the emerald pipe. So, set your


    own pricing. How much of it do you want to let go of?”


    Ivy arched her brow. “Oh, so you came because of that,” she purposefully extended her phrase,


    “I’ve already stated that I’m not going to sell that product,” she replied.


    The expression on Don Reed’s face was solemn. As he stared at her, his body tensed. “Simply


    state your price. I don’t care how much you demand. If you pass up this opportunity, you will never


    have another!” the old man eximed.


    Ivy was aware that Reed Corporation was wealthy, but she was not impoverished and did not


    require this so-called chance.


    “Don Reed, didn’t you offer me the same opportunity to exin my case when you first requested


    me to divorce Wyatt? I didn’t indicate my price at the time, and I don’t want your money now,” she


    replied and gritted her teeth. She’s losing her temper, and at any moment, she wants to burst out.


    Everyone assumed Ivy married Wyatt solely for financial gain. Thus, save for the money Wyatt paid


    her after each blood donation, the Reed family did not let her grasp a penny of their money and


    watched her like she was a thief during their three years of marriage.


    Ivy was perfectly aware of everything.


    The expression on Don Reed’s face was solemn. His face fell, and his breathing became heavier as


    he became enraged.


    “Ivy, you really despise our family and want to make life tough for us, don’t you? You did keep


    Grandpa’s emerald pipe on purpose, didn’t you?!” Piper became upset and yelled at Ivy, wishing to


    expose Ivy’s wicked intentions.


    Ivy sighed and shrugged her shoulders. “Yeah…”
