Chapter 50
Ivy was open about it. If it were anyone else, she would never keep someone else’s prized possession for no reason. On the other hand, she despised the Reeds and did not want them to live comfortable life. As a result, she purposefully purchased the emerald pipe in order to annoy them. She admitted to everyone since she was too lazy to put on a friendly façade in front of the Reeds. “I’m not a kind or weak person, Ms. Reed. I treat others the same way they treat me. Do you remember how your family treated me at the time? I can’t pretend I’ve forgotten, can I?” Does she appear to be a kind and merciful person? Piper was trembling with rage. The words she intended to say became lodged in her throat. Ivy’s candid admittance was far more frustrating than her denial. Because Don Reed scowled at Piper, she refrained from cursing Ivy. She inhaled deeply, calmed her voice, and wailed as she gazed at Ivy with huge innocent eyes. “Ivy, the past was entirely my fault. I… I was too young and irresponsible. Please forgive me because you’re such a gracious person. I really regret anything I’ve done. I’m very sorry. I’m willing to go to any length to obtain your forgiveness. I only hope you’ll be able to return Grandpa’s pipe to him. It’s entirely my fault that we’re in this situation. My mother has been grounded, and Grandpa has also disciplined me. If you’re still not pleased, you can hit me,” Piper asserted. She gazed up at Ivy, but she seemed unfazed and even smirked at her. Piper thought she couldn’t keep up the facade for a brief while and stood timidly. Ivy glanced at Piper as if she were watching a play, thinking about what a scheming bitch Piper was for having to put on an innocent front. When he saw Ivy’s lack of reaction, Don Reed huffed and smothered the darkness in his eyes. “Ivy, I know you’ve endured a lot at our hands,” he replied hesitantly, “Piper even came over to apologize to you this time, so you may explain whatever conditions you have.” Apologize? She grinned. This does not feel like an apology. It was akin to coercive moral enslavement.
How absurd! Ivy cast a fleeting glance her way. “I’m not going to take your apologies, and I’m not going to give you the pipe.” Ivy remained steadfast despite all of this. Don Reed’s mood shifted significantly, and he couldn’t hold back the rage that was building up in his chest. “What exactly do you want to do, Ivy?” Is it finally too much for him? “I’m not going to do anything. If nothing else, Chairman Reed, I must get going.” Ivy was exhausted after interacting with them. Dismissively, Don Danilo Reed grumbled. His eyes were piercingly acute. “Don’t accuse me of being harsh if you don’t take this opportunity I’m providing,” he said. “Oh?” Ivy cocked her brow, “What do you intend to do?” Don Reed reached for his phone. “I’m intrigued,” he crept a smirk on his lips, “is Chairman Morgan aware that his son, Cooper, is helping a divorced woman? I am still in contact with the Chairman. Do you think you’ll still have to sit in your position if I tell him who you truly are?” His words were blatantly threatening. Ivy took a brief break. As she outstretched her hand, her smile widened. “Suit yourself.” She couldn’t stop giggling. Does he think I’ll be frightened? Chairman Leo Morgan is my father! The look on Don Reed’s face was frigid. And when he saw, that Ivy was still refusing to give in, he dialed the number. Piper gazed at Ivy maliciously as if she were about to die. She merely stood off to the side, watching the drama play out. Leo Morgan answered the phone after a few seconds with an unhurried voice. Chairman Reed, why are you calling me now? “Chairman Morgan, I heard you traveled to Europe for a holiday a few days ago,” Don Reed muttered carelessly, “You appear to be in a pleasant mood,” he added. Yeah, I did that. It’s good to be able to travel now that I’m older. If there isn’t anything, I’ll hang up
because I’m out fishing right now. Ivy cocked her brow. Dad despises the Reeds, so why would he spend time with them? Don Reed modified the subject. “Do you realize, Chairman Morgan, that your son has recently become quite close to a divorced woman?” Really? I do not know.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
