Chapter 204
Wyatt’s eyes were dark and sunken. He did not make a sound and saw Don Reed watching him from the second-floor railing He nodded slightly. Don Reed pursed his lips and said, “Come upstairs.” When he got to the study, Don Reed sat behind the desk. His face was cold and solemn. “I’ve made myself very clear on the phone.” “I don’t agree with it.” Wyatt was straightforward. Don Reed’s face was glum and ugly. “If it wasn’t for the Morgan family who’s backing Ivy, I wouldn’t have agreed for you to get back together with her. You almost lost your life for her, yet she’s still indifferent towards you. What about the Reed family’s reputation?!” The atmosphere in the study was so cold and silent that it was frightening. Wyatt was unfazed. His gaze was cold and not as important as Wyatt’s eyes were dark and sunken. He did not make a sound and saw Don Reed watching him from the second-floor railing He nodded slightly. Don Reed pursed his lips and said, “Come upstairs.” When he got to the study, Don Reed sat behind the desk. His face was cold and solemn. “I’ve made myself very clear on the phone.” “I don’t agree with it.” Wyatt was straightforward. Don Reed’s face was glum and ugly. “If it wasn’t for the Morgan family who’s backing Ivy, I wouldn’t have agreed for you to get back together with her. You almost lost your life for her, yet she’s still indifferent towards you. What about the Reed family’s reputation?!” The atmosphere in the study was so cold and silent that it was frightening. Wyatt was unfazed. His gaze was cold and firm. “The Reed family’s reputation is not as important as Ivy’s.” “What did you say?!” Don Reed raised his voice all of a sudden. He gasped violently and looked incredibly fierce Wyatt’s gaze was overwhelmingly dark and dense. “I won’t be with anyone but her. That woman outside will never be able to or much less deserve to be compared to her.” “Bang–” Don Reed was so angry that he picked up a paperweight on the table and smashed it at
Wyatt. Wyatt did not dodge, so the paperweight hit his forehead. Blood flowed out profusely. Don Reed panicked for a moment. Seeing Wyatt’s indifferent appearance, Don Reed was angry and anxious. It was all because of that woman! Wyatt’s body swayed lightly, but he managed to stand firm. He casually wiped away the blood from his wound and looked at Don Reed with a heavy gaze. “If I can’t make my own decision about my marriage, then you should change your successor to someone whom you can control.” Anyway, with Wyatt’s current status, even without the backing of the Reed family, those hidden forces behind him would only make it easier for him to take control over the Reed family than his current position. After that, Wyatt coldly and calmly turned around and leaned on his cane as he left the study resolutely. Those words were hard to hear, but he made his position very clear. Wyatt would not hesitate to turn his back on the entire Reed family. The old man’s face was ugly as he stared at Wyatt’s departing back. The most promising heir of the Reed family would risk everything just for a woman. Wyatt slowly walked down the stairs with his cane. The indifferent vibe he exuded distanced him from everyone and made him so unapproachable that no one dared to go forward to help him. Eva thought that Wyatt would more or less listen to his grandfather’s words. “Wyatt, you should stay here for the next few days. That way, you can also accompany Ms. Lamour for a stroll.” Avery Lamour stood by the side looking slightly restrained. She tried to imitate Joy Lamour’s appearance, to be an elegant high-society lady, but unfortunately, she still did not get the hang of it. Wyatt looked at Ivy and walked out of the house without another word. Eva was reluctant to see him leave and called out to him again. “Wyatt, you don’t even listen to your grandfather anymore?!” Wyatt paused in his footsteps. “Do you still want to see Piper?” The air froze for a moment. Eva’s face was glum. ‘My son is using my daughter to threaten me?!’ Although Avery did not understand what they were saying, she could feel the tension in the room. She hurriedly stepped
forward and eased the situation. “Mrs. Reed, Mr. Reed is too busy. I’ll go around by myself. It won’t be good to delay his work.” Eva forced a smile and patted Ivy’s hand. “You’re so well-behaved.” Wyatt did not say anything and left. Back at Hudson Yards. Jimmy was alone in the large house walking with the stupid husky. Wyatt frowned. “Why haven’t you sent it away yet?” Jimmy said, “Young Master Elrod said to keep it here for a few days. He’ll come over personally to pick it up.” De The husky wagged its tail and turned towards Wyatt. It mimicked Wyatt’s gait and started to walk with a limp in front of them. Wyatt’s face darkened. Jimmy could not help but laugh out loud. “No wonder Young Master Elrod said that this dog has an IQ of 120!” Wyatt coldly swept a glance at him, which made Jimmy’s laughter stop abruptly. Hudson Yards The night was chilly and quiet. Jimmy looked at Wyatt, who was standing on the balcony, and could not help but speak. “Ms. Morgan won’t come back tonight. She just came back, so she should be resting at home….” Wyatt gave him a blank look. “I know.” ‘Then why are you still waiting here?’ Jimmy thought. “It might not be a bad idea for Ms. Lamour to stay. Maybe Ms. Morgan will get jealous and you two will make up?” ‘Jealous?’ Wyatt’s face sank. He did not expect that Jimmy would rub salt into his wounded heart. His gaze was intimidating as he glared at Jimmy. His voice was cold. “Do you think I’m not having a bad enough time?” Ivy would love for Avery Lamour to stay because she even took the initiative to create opportunities for them back in Santos Island. Jealousy? Wyatt dared not think about it. Should he bet the rest of his life on Ivy’s soft heart? No, he was not worthy. Jimmy shrunk back. He originally thought that this trip would be a breeze, but who knew Marco Seely and Avery Lamour
interfered? These two people were not easy to deal with either. Jimmy felt that he would sooner or later be thrown into the Seine! For several days in a row, Ivy did not return to Hudson Yards. The excuse she gave was that the company had a backlog of things that needed to be dealt with. Ivy felt a lot more relaxed not seeing Wyatt for a few days. Besides going to the office, Ivy would go out with Agatha and Windy. Simon would join when he was bored. It felt like she had returned to her old life before Wyatt, which made her heart feel warm and satisfied. Ivy scrolled through social media and saw many “health tips” from Leo and his generation of friends. The high-society ladies like Windy and Agatha posted selfies and their shopping haul and complained about their rich and boring life while they continued to expand their businesses and family fortune. However, Simon’s post was a little off. The usually frivolous young master suddenly changed his style! Simon posted. (Agricultural products reform. Carrots, green vegetables, potatoes, and everything!) Many of their friends commented on Simon’s post. (Are they made of jade? Young Master Albert, you really are different!) (If Young Master Albert is going into luxury decorations, will the stock market go up.) (Simon, did you buy land? I heard that several thousand acres in the South were recently bought.) (Congratulations!) Simon’s reply. (There are a lot of unsellable agricultural products in mountainous areas. Whoever wants it, please make an order with me! Appreciate it if everyone can help share this post!) Don Albert commented below. (I don’t see you promoting your family’s diamonds so enthusiastically!) There was silence afterward. Ivy looked at it again. She laughed and shared it on her page after some thought. Windy privately messaged Ivy. (Windy Adams: Why are you catering to Simon’s craziness?) (Ivy Morgan: I’m just helping to share.)
There was a notification of a reply to her shared post. (Jimmy: Our kind Mr. Reed said that he’ll order two thousand pounds. He’ll order two thousand pounds. Payment can be made at any time.) Ivy raised her eyebrows and asked Simon if two thousand pounds was enough. At the same time, Marco also replied. (Marco Seely: I’ll take whatever’s left.) Wow, how generous! When Simon found out, he was jumping for joy. He coincidentally had four thousand pounds, so it was evenly distributed. Simon called Ivy. “You must attend our celebration this evening. Invite those two big shots too so they can sign the contract and make payments. I’ll wait for you!” Ivy did not even get the chance to refuse. For a moment, she regretted being a busybody. Thus, she had to ask if Wyatt and Marco had time. Who knew that these two very busy men promised that they would attend without hesitation? Wyatt gave up his wheelchair to attend the occasion. He was supported by his cane and looked steady and calm. As always, Marco looked warm and noble. noble. Ivy did not expect so many political and industry bigwigs to attend this celebration. None of the guests were ordinary people. It was not a place for the general public. Simon Albert was inside socializing with the guests with a smile plastered on his face. When he saw Ivy coming in, he hurriedly welcomed her. “My Goddess of Wealth!”Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
