Chapter 76


    Leo Morgan continued to curse as he walked, but he was still not satisfied. When the father-


    daughter duo exited the VIP section, they noticed Cooper approaching with his head held high.


    “What brings you here?” Leo muttered.


    “Because I was concerned, I had toe over to pick you up, people.”


    Cooper stretched out and removed the luggage from his father’s grasp, then turned to face Ivy.


    “Prepare yourself. Because the reporters found out about your movements, there are already quite


    a few of them gathering at the airport’s entrance.”


    Ivy snorted coldly. “I’m not a wimp!”


    Leo grunted contentedly as he stroked Ivy’s hair. He was devoted to the protection of his princess.


    “Yeah, you guys are just behind me.”


    Let’s see who dares to approach me and initiate a fight! Leo pondered.


    Cooper was still concerned, so he shielded Ivy and held her hand. When they went out, they were


    mobbed with camera shes. Ivy averted her gaze automatically. She appeared to be trying to


    cuddle into Cooper’s chest in the sight of reporters.


    For a split second, the headline was, “Ivy and Sebastian believed in living together.”


    Another headline appeared: “Ivy meets Cooper Morgan’s family.”


    “Ivy, do you and President Morgan have a rtionship? How do you feel about Sebastian, the


    movie star?”


    Cooper shielded Ivy’s eyes from the dazzling sh. He walked out with solid steps, his arm around


    her shoulders.


    “Will you marry into the Morgan family, Ivy?”


    “What is it like to marry into a wealthy family for the second time?”


    “Ivy, do you feel extremely proud that so many men surround you?”


    “Is Simon Albert one of your spares, Ivy?”


    The endless queries were difficult to hear as if the rumors on the inte were true.


    “Chairman Morgan, please tell us what you think about Ivy’s terrible background.”


    The reporters did not spare Leo Morgan, the Morgan family’s patriarch. It seemed as though his


    approach would determine Ivy’s fate.


    Leo’s already dismal expression darkened even further when he heard thosements. He


    stepped forward, not intending to say anything.


    Cooper, too, was deafeningly silent. The surrounding bodyguards blocked the reporters. Ivy simply


    stepped out peacefully in her ck dress without saying anything.


    The facts will eventually show everything. Someone suddenly tossed a mineral water bottle from the


    opposite direction, mming it into the back of Ivy’s skull. Ivy shivered as a result of the blow.


    Cooper turned coldly in that way and said, “Greg, find that person and notify the cops!” “


    “Yes, Sir.”


    The bodyguards increased their alertness and formed a solid wall on all sides, denying anyone the


    opportunity to throw items. The Morgans then got into their car, which slowly began to blend into


    traffic.


    They had prepared six of the same cars in the front and back, so the reporters had no means of


    identifying them and soon lost their car.


    Ivy finally exhaled a sigh of relief as they climbed inside the car.


    Cooper scratched her chin and stared at her with concern.


    “Is it painful?”


    Ivy gave a shaky nod. “No, it doesn’t,” she said, stunned.


    Leo got a half-ss of red wine from the small refrigerator and guzzled it with his head thrown back.


    “The Reeds are out of control! Don’t me me for being impolite because they dare to touch my


    daughter!”


    Cooper gave the nod. “Yeah, it’s about time we showed them the consequences of their actions, but


    there’s no haste.”


    “Don’t be upset, Dad. They don’t worth our time.” Ivy smiled, a tinge of bitterness in her heart. Her


    family only had to deal with these embarrassments because she was too ignorant and stubborn to


    fall for the wrong man back then.


    I was just begging for it. Ivy reflected.


    Leo was heartbroken and moaned quietly as he touched her hair. “It’s nice that you considered it.


    It’s never toote to change your mind.”


    Ivy nodded, her eyes bing a little misty.


    The picture of the Morgans at the airport became a heated topic of conversation on the inte as


    soon as they left.


    Look at Chairman Morgan’s face! He doesn’t seem to recognize Ivy as his daughter-inw; her


    dream of marrying into a wealthy family has been dashed!


    How could Cooper Morgan fall for such a gold-digger as Ivy? He must be duped!


    Ivy has so many talents... I really should learn from her.


    Then suddenly, the phone rang.


    Leo stared at his phone and took it up with a serious expression.


    “Is there something wrong, Chairman Reed?”


    “I just saw the news online, Chairman Morgan. I suppose I owe you a decent wee now that


    you’ve returned! Why don’t we go out for a drink tonight?”


    Cooper and Ivy shared a gaze with their father. Don Reed was delighted to telephone their father


    shortly after Leo stepped off the ne.


    Leo Morgan smirked. “That is not even needed. My family is currently in chaos. Therefore, I’m not in


    the mood to go out for a drink.”


    “It’s simply because of ady, so what’s there to be upset about?” Don Reed replied. “I truly have a


    request for you.”


    “Chairman Reed, the Morgan Corporation’s anniversary is in a few days, so how about I invite your


    entire family, and we can chat then?”


    The opposite party took a breather. “Fine, I’ll see you then.”


    Leo Morgan’s eyes glowed once he hung up the phone. “Just wait ‘till I clean up after those Reeds


    knuckleheads!”


    Cooper burst outughing. “Then I’ll use these few days to reorganize ourpany’s shares and


    pick which directors to keep or fire for our princess to have a clean environment.”


    Leo gave the nod. “That’s great; it’ll save us a lot of troubleter.”


    Ivy sighed deeply. “Oh no… What am I supposed to do? I’m about to have too much money that I


    won’t be able to spend.”


    Leo came to a halt and immediately remembered something.


    “Speaking of spending, Sebastian spent millions in one afternoon, ording to the bank president.


    Because it is not for investment or stock, he is concerned that it is an unusual transaction. What is


    Sebastian doing?”


    Cooper couldn’t stopughing. “Dad, Princess wasted that money.”


    “Oh, then I’m pleased,” Leo responded.


    Sebastian would undoubtedly go insane if he found out.


    Ivy returned home to find a phone call from an unknown number. She ignored it since she


    suspected it was a spam call. However, it rang repeatedly, and Ivy eventually sumbed.


    “Ivy?


    Duke Elrod’s voice was heard.


    She cocked her brow. “Is there something wrong, Mr. Elrod?”


    Duke was looking for her, so it wasn’t going to be good. He pursed his lips.


    “Ivy, I didn’t take this chance to pour fuel to the fire this time, so you can’t push me out to be your


    shield.”


    Ivy chuckled. It turns out he understands what fear is.


    “Did you forget how you insulted me that night, Mr. Elrod?”


    Duke was terrified, but he refused to give up. “That was just a mimunication. I’ve deeply


    looked arrogantly at myself, so just let me off the hook this time.”


    Duke’s voice sounded panicked for the first time to Ivy. Those naked photos appeared to have


    deeply disturbed him.


    “I’ll consider it. Please do not call me again. I’m not interested in hearing your voice.”


    Ivy was about to hang up when Duke abruptly said, “Hey, hold! Someone is searching for you.”


    Ivy froze for a split second before hearing a familiar icy voice.


    “It’s me, Ivy.”


    Wyatt Reed was the one.


    Ivy’s brows arched slightly as she heard this voice. She gave out a soft chuckle. “Would you like toUpstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    warn me as well, Mr. Reed?”


    Wyatt was taken aback for a time. “Didn’t my grandfather look for you?”


    “Didn’t Chairman Reed n this whole incident to teach me a lesson?”


    He’s simply being stupid! Ivy thought.


    “Ivy, just agree with him. Return the pipe, and I’ll handle the rest. I’ll take care of everything online.”


    Ivy stifled augh. Her eyes were somewhat moist. The other side was deafeningly quiet.


    “I know you’re both ying, Wyatt Reed. Do you think I’m a fool?” Ivy couldn’t stop sneering. She


    stated her position emphatically, given their previous fight. “Your family is so devious that they throw


    mud at me, attack me with the trashiest remarks, and purposefully misrepresent the truth. But you


    still want me to seek pardon on my knees and even be thankful to you? Don’t you think you’re all


    despicable?”


    The mood was gloomy and depressing.


    Duke’s voice could be heard. "Wyatt did not do this, Ivy."


    “What’s the difference? Is he not a Reed? Is he really that meless? Do you believe that every


    criticism I’ve received today has nothing to do with Wyatt Reed?”
