Chapter 24
The slender and tall figure standing in front of her, those perfect and Greek god-like features that he had, was the man Ivy had been fascinated with for three years—Wyatt Reed. At first glance, Ivy had a momentary hesitation but soon regained her composure. How could he be here? What a coincidence! “Mr. Reed?” Zayne Dy stood up in a panic, and his body was trembling with humility. Wyatt’s face was gloomy, and he stared at Zayne Dy, wearing his deadly glares. “Do you have any death wishes? If so,” he moved forward, “I will fulfill it,” he added and gritted his teeth. At this moment, the nameless anger suddenly erupted from Wyatt’s chest, and his eyes were cold and intimidating. He was about to throw a punch and teach this Zayne Dy a lesson when a figure suddenly appeared behind him, kicking Zayne Dy, who stood up, to the ground again and then started to throw a series of punches at Zayne’s face, his body—trying to break the old man’s bones. “Simon!” Ivy shouted to stop the man. Simon threw one last punch and got up. He turned to Ivy. “I went to your company, and your assistant told me that you came here. And I’m surprised to see this shit!” he said and kicked Zayne, who tried to get up from the floor. Simon walked over casually, ignoring Wyatt’s presence, and handed over the flower that he put down on the table near the door. “For you,” he said and smiled. Ivy arched her brow and crossed her arms in front of her chest. She sighed; although her plan was disrupted, the things she wanted to get had already been obtained, and it was not a failure or a loss for her at all. Ivy reached for the flowers in the end. “Thank you, but forget about this next time. And if you continue to fight, you might kill him, and I don’t want to get into trouble,” she said. Simon nodded. “Of course, I will obey you, my Queen,” he said, “I will spare his life this time—” “Simon.” Simon smiled. “Sure thing. I will not do it again,” he said like a tame pet.

Zayne Dy, at this moment, glanced at the people in front of him in fear. Wyatt Reed was here, and so was Simon Albert. And if he fights, he will surely lose. Soon after that, he heard that they spared his life. The old man forced himself to flee in a daze and panic. However, before he could walk out, a hard thing was thrown at his head, and it was the car key. He stared at it when it fell on the floor. “Take it away. And don’t you try to bribe my girlfriend,” Simon sneered coldly. Zayne’s eyes widened, and he nodded swiftly. “Yes. Yes. Yes,” he said and hurried out. Ivy arched her brown and slammed Simon’s shoulder. “Don’t talk nonsense. And I am not your girlfriend. You’re gross.” Suddenly, Ivy’s gaze landed on Wyatt, and when their gazes met, Wyatt pierced his deep and cold eyes on her. “Why are you here, Mr. Reed?” Ivy asked. “Yeah, I’m also curious. Why are you here, huh, Reed?” Simon clearly looked at him with scrutiny. “Ivy, don’t you know that there is something wrong with the wine? And how could you attend this private foul dinner? Is this the life that you want?” Wyatt asked simultaneously. The irony in his words is pretty apparent. Is this what Ivy really wants after their divorce? He doesn’t know why, but the anger in his chest couldn’t help but burst out at that moment. And that Simon even called her his girlfriend, and what’s with the flowers? Ivy arched her brow and flashed a smile. It was really humiliating that she thought that Wyatt would be so kind as to help her, but what is he doing? She glanced up at him, and she was wearing delicate light makeup making her eyes look bright and sharp. She let out a soft chuckle and shook her head. “Thank you for your concern, Mr. Reed, but I switched my glass with that old man before I drink it. But what life do I want?” she walked closer to him, “you have no right to talk or comment about it. I don’t need your opinion.” And just about she was about to leave, Wyatt grabbed her arm and looked at her coldly. “What do you mean? You didn’t answer my question.” Ivy ticked the corner of her lips. “Some words are not meant to be spoken out, Wyatt. As I said, you
don’t have a damn place in my life for you to teach me. I am here for work, and it is better than being a maid all day in your family. And what do you think is the difference between your family and that Zayne Dy?” Ivy sneered and pulled her arm out of Wyatt’s grip and never looked back again at him when she left the room. Simon raised an eyebrow and immediately followed Ivy.
