The Billionaire's Regret

Chapter 80

Leo Morgan arched his brows and looked at Wyatt Reed before shaking his head and saying, “How could I possibly imagine becoming in-laws with you? Mr. Reed is an incredible man, and my daughter does not deserve him.” Don Reed took a breather, chuckled, and changed the subject. “Speaking of which, Morgan Corporation was seriously messed up by that woman’s scandalous past, right? The stock market even started to move.” Alice Perez took Piper Reed’s hand in hers and asked in hushed tones, “Did you really see it clearly? Why is Ivy even here at this time?” “How could I be wrong? At the time, my mother was also present.” Alice’s pupils constricted. She followed Piper to the second floor and looked down at the bustling crowd. There were so many different dresses that it was impossible to distinguish anyone. “How are we going to find her?” Piper shook her head. “I’m not sure where she went to hide, but now that she’s here, I doubt she’ll leave so easily. I believe she is only here to force her hand in marriage!” Ivy had no choice but to force Cooper Morgan to marry her because she had no other option. A great show was about to start! Alice fought back the enthusiasm in her heart. It appears Ivy’s back is pressed against the wall. Her eyes widened, and she reached for Piper’s hand. “I noticed her! She’s arrived!” Alice extended her hand and pointed to the doorway. When I got a closer look, it was Ivy. Ivy was dressed casually and appeared to be conversing with someone at the door. The man presented her with a bouquet, which she gratefully accepted. “Are you not abroad? How come you’re already back?” Ivy inquired. Simon Albert looked sharp in his custom-made suit. He was strikingly handsome, and his smile was devilishly alluring in the dim light. “How can I miss your special day? I’ll return as soon as the gala is over.” Ivy’s hands froze for a moment as she was taken aback by Simon’s endearing smile. “Shouldn’t you greet your father first since you’re already here? I saw him earlier.”

Simon shook his head and shrugged his shoulders helplessly. “He’ll either beat me to death or have a heart attack from rage. It’s too dangerous, so why bother? That international project is almost finished, and the anniversary of my brother’s death is approaching. He’ll have no reason to force me to stay there by then.” Ivy laughed. “Great, then we’ll wait for you to return and throw a big welcome home party for you.” “Agreed!” Simon took advantage of Ivy’s distraction and drew her into his warm embrace. “Our princess is finally returning. I’m delighted for you!” Ivy’s hand was about to push Simon away when he suddenly let go. “Go ahead and change your clothes. I need to find a place to hide, so my father doesn’t notice.” She nodded and turned around, but Wyatt was not far away, staring at her with deep eyes and a cold frown. Ivy came to a halt in her steps as Wyatt approached her with great strides. “What an unfortunate coincidence, Mr. Reed.” Ivy smiled as she arched her brows. Was the scolding he received the last time, not enough for him to come over for more? As he looked at her, Wyatt’s gaze was dull and taut. “Why are you here and hugging other men?” he asked, his tone rough. He was already taken aback by Ivy’s presence. He hadn’t expected Ivy to arrive in such a decent manner, let alone openly hug Simon Albert. When Wyatt saw Simon hugging Ivy, a stream of uncontrolled rage surged through him, causing him to walk over in anger. Ivy cocked her head and took a look around. Fortunately, no one else saw. “Why can’t I be here? Whose rules said I couldn’t? Is Ivy not permitted to enter written on the door? “Do you know what kind of event this is? Do you believe that your reputation isn’t bad enough?” She’s in a relationship with Cooper Morgan, but she turns around and hugs Simon Albert so intimately. This woman is desperate for death, Wyatt pondered. “Isn’t it all thanks to you that I have my public image today?” Does he still dare to mock me?! Wyatt Reed is completely insane! Ivy thought.

Ivy appeared to Wyatt to be a naive idiot. When she spoke, the corners of her lips hooked into a scornful smile, as if she wasn’t sure if she was laughing at him or herself. According to everyone, Ivy should not have attended this event, including Wyatt Reed. They thought she was simply out of place and did not deserve to be a member of their high society. “What are you up to, Ivy?”Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
