Chapter 82
The setting was well-lit, morous, and rising. The music abruptly came to a halt as Leo Morgan
walked up onto the stage.
Everyone gathered around the stage, knowing that the g’s main event was about to begin.
Although Cooper Morgan was the actual person in charge of Morgan Corporation and had the
honor and reputationparable to Wyatt Reed, he had no intention of taking the spotlight away
from his father at this time. Instead, he stood on the sidelines, solemnly and politely watching his
father speak.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to thank you all for attending the Morgan Corporation’s
anniversary g. Thanks to your support over the years, we’ve had such a smooth ride so far. This
toast is for all of us!”
Leo Morgan raised his ss, to which everyone responded by raising theirs, and then drank the
wine in it.
Everyone understood that Morgan Corporation’s unstoppable progress was due to Morgan’s ability,
not everyone’s support. Everyone wanted to be in their inner circle and continued to sing their
praises.
Not long after, Cooper went forward to refill his father’s empty wine ss before returning to his
original position.
Leo smiled, nodded to Cooper, and then returned his gaze to the audience.
“I have one thing I need to rify here today. I believe that all of you have been very curious about
Ivy, a woman who is closely rted to mypany and whose rumors have recently circted the
inte.”
The guests remained silent. They were already aware that the Morgans had invited so many
reporters to this event in the hopes of rifying the scandal.
Don Reed appeared to be empathetic and pompous. How could Leo Morgan let his son marry a
divorcee? That woman has no idea what she’s doing. This is her undoing, he thought.
Eva and Piper exchanged nces. They both anticipated Ivy’s unhappiness as a result of this.
“Howe that woman didn’te out?” Piper cast a nce around but saw no sign of that
woman’s figure and wondered, wasn’t she just there?
Evaughed and pretended to be unconcerned. “She was probably kicked out. The Morgans are
not ignorant. Why would they keep a ticking time bomb in their midst?”
Leo Morgan fixed his gaze on the Reeds and said loudly and clearly. “During her reign as Vice
President of Morgan Corporation, Ivy signed a significant contract with ABC Corporation. Her talent
is undeniable, but her rtionship with Cooper isn’t what everyone expected.”
Leo’s voice echoed in everyone’s ears because the venue was tranquil.
“I’d like to take this opportunity to meet Ivy and introduce her to everyone here.”
Don Reed raised his head and frowned. Wyatt, too, was baffled. The shadow of a doubt that had
never faded from the bottom of his heart became heavier at this moment.
Leo smiled tenderly as he motioned to her from the corridor on the left. “Come on, Ivy. Come on
over...”
Everyone stared in disbelief as the door on the left slowly opened. The light from the corridor
passed through, and the woman who walked over was enveloped in a soft sheath of light.
Ivy’s makeup was beautiful and wless. Her long, wavy hair fell behind her ears, giving her the
appearance of natural beauty. She was dressed in an international collector’s series light gray
diamond-iid gown that enhanced her slim waist perfectly.
Her stunning pink diamond ne was clearly pricey, which shone so brightly in the spotlight. It
even took her temperament to a new level.
Ivy walked calmly onto the stage, her eyes bright and optimistic. The corners of her lips formed a
faint arc, giving her an air of aloofness and mour.
She walked up in style, gently lifting the hem of her gown to show off her magnificent stilettos.
Finally, she stood beside Leo Morgan without fear or wariness. She appeared to be apletely
different person than the rumors on the inte.
As soon as Ivy stepped onto the stage, a slew of cameras began shing. They were terrified of
missing even one shot of such breathtaking beauty!
The audience gasped and secretly wondered why Ivy would appear in such a grand manner.
Most importantly, her arrival was so vibrant and eye-catching that no one could take their gaze awayCòntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
from her!
Leo smiled, pleased to see his daughter shine so brightly in the spotlight. Ivy could only make her
formal debut in the elite circle this way.
After a few seconds of silence, Leo turned to face the audience and said loudly, “Herst name is
Morgan, her name is Ivy Gaile Morgan, and Leo Morgan’s precious jewel. My biological daughter!”
The room fell silent after Leo Morgan’s words. Everyone was astounded as if a bomb had been
dropped on them out of nowhere.
At the same time, the congrattory words on the huge digital screens of all the buildings outside
that could be seen from inside the venue were reced with Ivy’s picture. As long as they looked up
at those buildings, everyone in the city could see Ivy’s picture.
The Morgan family wanted the entire world to know how valuable Ivy Gaile Morgan was.
Everyone in the room was stunned, especially Don Reed, who was standing in the foreground. For
a brief moment, his face was stiff with bafflement.
Wyatt Reed, too, stood there stunned and bewildered.
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, eximing, “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 thepany will be transferred to Ivy. She will take over as
CEO of Morgan Corporation and will be my designated heir.”
Ivy’s identity waspletely 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 bing 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 asion.
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 wee my sister back home, I will give her 10% of my Morgan Corporation’s stock. Ivy
Morgan, thergest 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 Corporationnded on her shoulders.
It was as if a cier of gold hadnded 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 apuse resounded throughout the hall. The audience
apuded Ivy Morgan’s return as well as Cooper Morgan’s generosity.
When the apuse 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 inte, 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<pter 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 ept the failure of this
marriage. This divorce allows me to get back on track for the future. What about those nderous
rumors….”
Ivy swept a nce 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 rify
everything. Though I can’t say the same if this happened to an ordinary individual.”
